    I replaced an older subwoofer that was underpowered for my current receiver. It has not disappointed me in any way. I picked it up on sale and hooking it up was just a matter of swapping it out with the old one and re-running my speaker tuning program on the receiver. Word of caution, if you have any fragile items on shelves, do a check every now and then or you could find them fallen to the floor. I always do a quick visual inspection of the room to make sure nothing needs pushing back on the shelf before I fire up the next action movie! :-)

    Clear yet thunderous bass. I use it in moderation with music so it's not "boomy", but turn it up a bit with the surround sound during movies to give it more impact

    I’ve been looking for a sub to replace my old one for quite some time now. Needless to say I am very pleased with the quality of sound that klipsch has to provide.

    I have to admit this is a really good sub it proceeded my expectations and then some . This is a really good addition to any home sound system. I already had one 8 inch sub but this sub really brought out the lows in all of my listening needs whether it was movies or music it gets the thumbs up from me.

    It seems the woofer has to be broken in a bit to get the full sound it’s capable of..

    I have the 10" and 12" for my setup and they are great together! Perfectly clean punchy and low bass notes make for a great movie/music/gaming experience

    Replaced a 12" Polk Audio sub of similar price. This definitely has bigger base. Maybe too much cause it rattles the house like an earth quake!

    The speaker works well, contributing superior sound to the existing 5 speaker TV sound system. I docked the review by one star as I cannot get the "automatic" mode to work consistently (speaker has an "on," "off", "auto" switch). Consequently, I leave the speaker in the "on" position all the time.

    Would definitely recommend this sub. Just know that you will need to buy the subwoofer connection to your receiver due to one not included in the box.

    Bought this speaker on black Friday, my first experience with Klipsch, but won't be my last. Great sound for the money, and looks cool with the cover off too.
