    Excellent quality, real deep bass, which makes the music a real thing. Massive and elegant, just add a couple of bookshelf speaker on a pedestal and you are all set to begin the most interesting musical journey ever imagined. Highly recommended.

    The Klipsch Reference Premiere R-12SW Subwoofer delivers powerful, deep bass that enhances movies, music, and games. Its 12-inch copper-spun woofer provides clean, rich low-end sound, while the solid build minimizes vibrations for better clarity. The sleek design fits well in most setups, and its adjustable controls allow for easy fine-tuning. Though it may overpower smaller spaces, it’s a top choice for those seeking premium performance and style.

    Have had this sub for about a year now, absolutely blew me out of the water after setting it up and trying my music on it. I recommend this for any music enthusiasts wanting to get that extra lower end kick in their system. 10/10 must have. Set up is as easy as plugging and playing. Can feel and hear it from the other end of the house!!

    This was a game changer going from my Klipsch 8 inch down firing sub to this Klipsch Reference series 12”! Great deep bass that I never heard or felt before. I ordered the svs isolation feet to help make the bass cleaner and tighter! The new Superman movie made this beautiful subwoofer come alive with great deep bass!!!

    Low-cost sonic purity. Klipsch delivers, again, with this new generation. Tunable to meet the requirements of the room and sound source. The Reference Series 12" 400W is more power than I will need, but the fidelity makes my skin tingle.

    Upper-end value subwoofer that performs above it's price class. Not being a high fidelity audio geek, there's no need to spend high fidelity money when this subwoofer produces quality bass surpassing my expectations. I've been surprised in some of the movies I watch over again to find there was low level bass I never knew was there, or wasn't able to experience the first time watching. It got my attention with this subwoofer added to the speaker mix connected to a Yamaha 7.2 RX-V681 receiver. A pleasant subwoofer addition that lets me sleep at night knowing I didn't break the bank to get it.

    I bought this sub in combination with the Klipsch R-40pm powered bookshelf speakers and together they are outstanding! This subwoofer is hard hitting regardless of what you pair it with but I'm extremely happy with this combo for my game room.

    Sounds great! No clipping or popping. Handles everything i have thrown at it for loud movies and music. Shakes my couch and my walls. You will probably need to do some soundproofing on a few items in your house after purchasing this thing.

    I had a 10 inch reference sw101 and then went to best buy and they had an open box 12 so i got it and added to my audio system, and these subs added depth to my dj-vm80 which is a great setup for my dj system. This sub was under 350 so for this price its amazing
