    I bought this to replace an older klipsch synergy sub and there's a definite improvement in the added bass to everything from cable TV to uhd blu rays to music

    I have been drooling for this sub for a long time. It's loud, clear, tons of thump. Worth every penny. I use it on movies/tv as well as music apps and YouTube type videos.

    I wasn't going to purchase this sub, I was going to build my own since I was looking for a sealed sub. When this sub went on sale, I jumped all over it. I have a satellite Klipsch system in my living room but a Velodyne ported 10 for a sub. For our bar, we have a Polk DB satellite system and didn't enjoy the sound of the Velodyne sub. I bought this sub and once it was all hooked up, I absolutely love it's performance. Our bar is in the main, open section of our house and roughly 20'x20' with 8' ceilings. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one of these for this room but I'll probably go ahead and build an 18" sealed sub instead and move this one into the living room.

    I got this on sale for $250. I was so impressed I bought a second one for the other room just because of the price. They really bump. I am unsure why anyone would need bigger than a 12 inch subwoofer. This thing rattles my fireplace. I had to transfer some of the bass back into my other speakers in my 5.1 setup to prevent the house from rattling too much. Overall, I am very pleased. I did notice that the subwoofer feet leaves black scuff marks on my tile that wipe off easily.

    It is Powerful but no indication of on or off with red or green light as my previous subwoofer - adjusting to the change - sometimes seems inappropriate- slightly annoying

    We purchased the Klipsch subwoofer to complete our sound system. It did take us too long to connect but it was us taking our time. Now we love the richness it adds. We are very happy with it!

    This sub provides a lot of base and is good if you want something that rumbles. If you are looking for music accuracy, this is NOT the sub for you. It is not well controlled for music but works well enough for movies and a LFE channel. For the price, it's a decent performer.

    An amazing Subwoofer. Great bass and because it has the controls in the back, it's very easy to adjust for the perfect levels.

    I use this in a room that's a little larger it should be used in and it still flat-out punches through with incredible tightness and accuracy. My lower frequencies are in good hands.
