    Not as heavy as you might think. Great sound though. Once properly adjusted, sit back and enjoy. Purchased as a Deal of the Day, so the value was great.

    This really thumps. I got an open box, so it didn’t come with a grille (would have been nice to know that before buying). The sound is great though

    Plush Bass vibe with undertow of the low end that will satisfies even as you dont always feel it. Unfortunately for my situation looking forward to being able to use it in a larger space so that I can really put it to the test along with all other klipsch devices going in system

    Nice subwoofer for home audio

    I have this paired up with a couple of Klipsch RP-8000F speakers, which I think is a good match, but I also think I could have gotten away with a slightly smaller subwoofer (e.g. the 10" 100SW (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/klipsch-reference-series-10-150w-powered-subwoofer-black/6241801.p?skuId=6241801). When I was initially testing the subwoofer, my wife commented (complained?) that the walls and floors were shaking! Needless to say, I am not allowed to play it all that loud when she is around (hence, my statement that it could probably have been smaller). One other thing I did not realize until I read the manual is that Klipsch really recommends that you connect this subwoofer with a single audio cable to the the LFE port on the subwoofer (vs subwoofer cables that are split so that you can do a left/right connection on the subwoofer). So, initially, I bought the wrong type of cable. If you are patient, and wait for a good sale, you should be able to get this for about half the normal list price (and don't forget, Best Buy will price match Amazon, Crutchfield, etc)! At that price point, it's a good buy (not so much at full price).

    Great Sub

    This sub does exactly what it is meant to for the price it's at. It's not going to shake down your whole house, but it will add some serious bass to your movies and music, and is a substantial upgrade from most setups. If you want something more powerful, be prepared to spend 2-3 times this. One should be enough for most people, two is better.

    Bought this sub to complement my Klipsch reference series towers and center channel speaker hooked up to Yamaha v363 receiver. System sounded great before I bought this sub, but now the house shakes with this sub included. Very happy with this purchase. Klipsch sound can't be beat.

    I actually purchased 3 of these. I bought these because they were so cheap. I think they do a fantastic job, but I bought them to put in a different room in my front room I use cerwin vegas and in the bedroom I have the Klipsch 12” 400 watt and I have to say they just don’t throw the bass like the vegas and the Klipsch subs make a kind of air noise when they are kicked up. I use these Klipsch subs with a set of cerwin vegas re30s and ls10’s and they do the trick. In all these Klipsch subs are well worth the cost, you will be pleased

    Klipsch 12” Subwoofer

    I’m happy I purchased the 12” over the 10” sub. The Black Friday price difference was minimal between the two. Klipsch continues to make a solid, quality product. The bass sound is amazing. There’s no distortion either. I highly recommend this subwoofer.

    So we purchased this subwoofer and other speakers as part of our surround sound for the custom theatre we built at our offices. We bought one with the intention of possibly needing 2 and to our amazement just one was more than enough! We're very happy with it!

    I was a little worried buying this guy because I have an older Klipsch 12” that I love and I wanted to buy a 10” to pair with the 12” but after listening to the 10” at the store I went with the 12” and am very glad I did. It’s equal to my old Klipsch and in a smaller box and better looking also. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed

    So my WKS 10 finally bit the dust and really wish I didn't but I had for 10 years plus so knowing already how great Klipsch woofer is, I had to upgrade to the 12 inch now. And I can tell you this thing hits hard, my house vibrate with such beautiful bass.

    Had to replace an older Polk Audio subwoofer that finally failed. the new Klipsch R-120 just looked cool so had to try. WOW! The deep bass is crazy! The rubber feet is a nice touch on hard floors or carpet and I LOVE the way it looks without the grille. The copper pins for the grille and the accents all over the subwoofer look excellent! Could not be happier. Will update the review if their are any issues. Cannot believe how much deeper the woofer goes...

    This thing hammers. I was a bit skeptical because of reviews I'd read about this about failure within the first few months, but I've been slamming this thing with all our home theater can throw at it. The $30 extended warranty has me covered if it should have a premature failure.

    I am enjoying my Klipsch Subwoofer. It adds good flavor to my system. When I’m watching a movie or football games I feel like I’m there live instead of watching television. This was a very good purchase and the members of the Geek Squad set this up perfectly.
