    I would rate it 4.5/5 if I could. The Klipsch Reference Series 12" sub provides ample bass, a bit boomy, but it can be dialed in to fit the space/speakers to which it is paired. From a purely conic standpoint, it is 4/5, but the value for money gives it an additional 0.5 stars for a total of 4.5. I paired it with my Wharfedale Elysian 2's and it really has filled out the lower frequencies that I was missing in my space.

    Bought this 12" 400w Sub woofer to match my ensemble with Klipsch two tower speakers. Woofer is strong for the entire house, rumble to low bass, on music and watching Top Gun Maverick DVD movie on my surround Klipsch. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    What can I say? The title is self explanatory. I purchased this subwoofer when I upgraded our home theater system. Did I consult my wife? Nope. Does she love it? Ehhhhh... its a love hate situation. She loves the wall rattling effect when watching Maverick and it sounds like a Mach 10 test is happening directly over our home. Does she love it when trying to sleep? Absolutely not. Has she questioned her decision to marry me 16 years ago? Probably... but when our children would rather have a movie night at home than hang with their friends on the weekend, all is forgiven. Do yourself a favor and buy the subwoofer. Dont think, just do.

    This sub completes my quad sub setup for my home theater system. Makes movie watching and gaming so much more impact full and immersive! The bass is impressive and makes my surround sound that much better.

    The bass is solid, loud and consistent. I was truly impressed at sound check with the technicians. Once they install the system and I cranked it up....I could feel the bass.

    I was replacing a 10" Klipsch that I have had for about 20 years. I have a medium size space to fill and I was concerned about the potential of this subwoofer to overwhelm the space as i use it for both music and home theater. I was pleastnly suprised at how subtle and complementary this unit can be and how it can quickly flex to show its power during big scenes and cover low-end bass lines. For both performance and value, 6-stars if I could.

    Very powerful bass with plenty of tweaking to suite your needs. Auto on feature is a tiny bit slow but really nit picking. I do wish it was front ported but that’s a personal preference. Typical of Klipsch it sounds and looks great

    This speaker is fantastic. I was really impressed on the low frequencies it produces. It sounds just as good as the other high-end subwoofers they sell in the theater room for double the price.

    The bass came alive in our home when we added our new Klipsch subwoofer. The rich deep sounds were pleasing to our ears. It was a most excellent purchase!

    Easy setup. Works well. On the large side so you have to have the right room configuration. Not a subwoofer expert but sounds great as expected.

    This bad boy produces some thunderous bass! I have it paired with a Pioneer Elite receiver and couldn’t be more pleased. Get off the ropes and buy this if you’re considering a great addition to your system. I caught a 50% off deal, but this item is well worth the full price tag. Get it, you won’t be disappointed.
