    I've purchased 3 of these subs, and trust me, you will truly be impressed should you decide to go with the Klipsch brand. Bass is earth shaking during movie night! Listening to music, no matter what genre, you just simply can't go wrong with this sub!

    Used as part of a 5.1 surround system, the sub-woofer adds a whole new dimension to movies and TV shows. Nice clear and deep tones make the movies come alive. I am happy I purchased the 12" so the real deep sounds come through crisp and clear.

    Excessive big slob sub, we like that sometimes. I literally have to turn it down really low and often dont run it unless it's a movie. Great price decent speaker although it does seem to fall all over itself when running near mid level.

    Overall great subwoofer, could really use 2 I think to make the full movie going experience but even with just the one it adds to the movie/audio experience greatly and absolutely well worth it.

    This base was a little bigger than I anticipated (my fault for not looking at the specs closely), but still fits nicely behind our TV out of sight. It packs a TON of power. We don't have it turned up very high and it still makes the room rumble.

    WOW. No other words describe the room shaking capability. I knew I was missing a lot using my Definitive Technology towers with "built in" subwoofer capability. Got it during manufacturer sale, so can't beat the price.

    Wow! For the longest time, I was resistant in adding a subwoofer. I didn’t know what I was missing. I’m so happy that I decided to purchase this model from Klipsch. The bass has a clean punch with a natural sound.

    My favorite addition to my home theater setup. Even with the gain on 5 i have plenty of bass to match my pair of klipsch towers. I will be looking to add another the next time i see the price tag around 250$

    Bought this on the Black Friday sale for $300. It replaced an old 8 inch subwoofer that I had. This one is much more powerful, almost too much for the size of my living room but I like it.
