The audio quality and sheer amount of bass, has made this move a staple for testing out speakers and subwoofers. This is a great movie to own, for showing off your system.
What Was Included:
Klipsch R-12SW
Website (info with other models):
www.klipsch.co...
Amazon link:
www.amazon.com...
Type - Bass Reflex
Woofer - 12" (30.5 cm) high excursion, IMG, front-firing woofer
Power - 200 Watts RMS 400 Watts Peak
Frequency response - 29Hz-120Hz +/-3dB
Cabinet - Brushed Black Polymer Veneer
Dimensions (H x W x D) - 16" x 18.5" x 14"
Weight (pounds): 33 lbs.
BUILT FROM - 2014
MSRP Value - $349
Where I Purchased - About 20 miles from home, someone’s garage.
Price Paid ~ $180 (~ since it came with other speakers)
Condition - 85% (not included in the Average Guy Hi-Fi score)
This subwoofer is in good shape but there are some marks on the cabinet.
Quality - 7.5
This is a very nice subwoofer, especially considering the cost. My main gripe is the tech vinyl material they used to wrap the cabinet. It looks nice but it’s easily scratched. Another minor complaint would be a power cord that doesn’t attach.
Other than that, the woofer is very high quality along with the amp, cabinet and the grill, where quality is most important.
Bass - 8.0
Nice deep and punchy bass. It hits the lows with clean authority and maintains its composure, all while using a 200 watt RMS amplifier and costing less than $350.
With all that said, I did find it a little on the bloated side, when compared to some of the much higher end subs that I’ve been reviewing. This is expected as you could buy 4 - 5 of these subs for the MSRP of some of the other subs I’ve been testing.
MSRP Rating - 8.5
I had to double check as I though for fire the MSRP would have been more than $349. This an outstanding price,especially considering the performance!
Aesthetics - 8.0
Again, I like the looks of the tech vinyl and obviously the copper woofer but I know this is super subjective.
Price Paid Value - 6.5
This is definitely a great value but I usually like to pay 50% or less of the MSRP, when it comes to used home audio gear. That’s generally speaking of course, as some brands command higher prices.
This was a good deal but I’ve had much better deals, especially since it can be had new for ~ $229.
Average Guy HiFi Rating - 38.5/50 = 77%

For Subwoofer crawl, I put the sub in the seating position then move around holding a balloon between my hands. I can sometimes doubt my ears but coupled with the tactile response of feeling the bass in the balloon, really helps with optimum placement.
That's very interesting. Thanks for the tip
The best way to set up your stereo system is in a corner with room behind the system for the subwoofer and you want to have the woofer portion aimed towards the wall almost opposite of the stereo system (in the corner, preferably a wall without a window) about 15"-18" from the wall. And the other side of the sub about 6-8 inches from the other wall. The sub will be square with the wall, whereas the other speakers will face outward from the corner. Be amazed. (with this type of setup you won't get any sound waves cancelling each other out reflecting off the opposite wall, or the wall behind the speakers which is what happens when you set all your speakers and sub up flat against a wall instead of out from a corner. Takes up a little more space but if you are so concerned about speaker placement, this is surely the best. So is pointing a front firing sub towards a wall instead of towards the listener. However, depending on how far your neighbors are from your place, they might not agree. lol)
So refreshing to hear someone that just says his thoughts! Not a bunch of test results and graphs! Just using your personal experience. I love it!!
I am thinking that too many average folks out there are getting caught up in the details, which can suck some of the fun out of this great hobby.
I just try to shoot people straight, in hopes that I can help save them some money and make them a little more educated when shopping for home audio gear.
I’m having fun making these videos and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it, my friend!
Bought a klipsch sub at a goodwill (my mistake) worked for about a few months til it died but I was wowed by the bass from it. Just bought this sub and man it shakes the whole house.
The price is hard to beat, for the money. It really does pump out the bass.
I keep hearing about these killer deals everyone is getting at Goodwill. I might have to start stopping my local thrift stores..
I had this one, it is a nice one, I was never disappointed by Klipsch
This sub for the price is a great deal! Can't beat it for $150! Your channel rocks! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great video Dustin, A suggestion: in the video provide a chart showing speaker ranking compared to the previous ones you reviewed so viewers can know where it fits relative to others and what is comparable value
I love this channel. Srsly, you are doing great. Keep up the hard work.
Great video. Just set up my Andrew Jones Pioneer’s this week, which is a huge upgrade from my 20+ year old Bose Acoustimas I had. Keep up the good work, most TH-camrs will tell you the first 1,000 subs seem to take forever, them you blink and you have 5k. Keep delivering great useful content, and they will come. Love Youthman’s channel but I don’t have that kind of money or space, so second hand is very useful to a lot of us out here. Stay safe. Cheers from the Jersey Shore.
I have one and love it. Just ordered a second one!
It is a great sub for the money, especially with all the holiday sales going.
Congratulations on the new addition! Dual subs is the only way to go:)
@@blazermdx duel is nice i run 4 of these double stacked
@@blazermdx im trying to buy subwoofer but I can’t decide between klipsch R-12SW and the Dayton SUB-1500. What do you recommend I want something that will maybe rattle my window.
Recommendation, maybe not make the intro so long winded and cut to the review sooner.
That’s definitely my biggest problem and something I’m constantly trying to reduce. I’m a bit long winded in general, unfortunately..
With that said, I’m going to try to cut some of the fat out, as I go. My intentions were to keep the videos to around 15 minutes but they have ballooned on me lately.
Thanks for the feedback, I truly appreciate it!
I was impressed with the emotiva basx series didn't know about them,I can only imagine how good are xpa series
I got this sub for $170 new at Costco. I have seen this as low as $150 once in December. It hooked up to a soundbar. It made a huge difference.
This is one of the best sub values out, under the $200 mark. Those Costco sales are pretty nuts.
This video is one of my most watched, due to the Costco sale. Haha
It is $150 until 4/4 now...
Costco has it right now for $149.99 after a $100 discount. Price is good until 11/19/20.
i bouth it 3 hour ago
any costco ? i live houston
Wow do you like it?
It’s an awesome subwoofer for the money. No doubt about it!
I’d say that anything under $200 for this sub is a killer deal.
Just hard to imagine anything beating it at that price, without going used.
For anyone who doesn't know, Costco has a 30 day price match guarantee, so you can submit for a refund for the difference. I've done it before and had my money back in about a week.
I just bought one from Costco at the $249 price plus I added a 2 pack of R-41M Bookshelf speakers for $89. This is my first time experience with Klipsch but have known about them for about 20 years.
Congratulations on the new sub! Hey, it’s a bit of a long shot but if I were in your shoes, I might call Costco and see if they will honor the sale price they had last month at $169.
$249 is still a good price for this sub but $80 is $80. Haha. Again, it’s a long shot but Costco is notorious for treating their customers fairly. Still a good price if they aren’t willing to budge.
Congratulations on the new sub!
They just went back on sale today. Go get that price difference :)
@@Qazxswer68 Thanks, I'm in the process of calling Costco.com.
@@BenHodgeThemeParkEndeavor How are you liking the sub? I'm coming from a Velodyne DPS12 that finally bit the bullet. I've always been a fan of klipsch so I'll be picking one up today.
@@Qazxswer68 It's just been shipped but I should be getting it tomorrow, hope to have it hooked up soon. I've always thought Velodyne's were nice but too expensive for me.
Good microphone, my office sub was shaking the walls.
I appreciate the feedback! I’m planning on upgrading the microphone at some point but it’s good to know the one I have is working.
Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment, I truly appreciate it!
3.5k subs now. Great job.
Hey, thanks! It’s been nice and steady growth, which is so much fun to watch.
Thanks again, for helping support the efforts!
A fellow godzillla fan 😁 great review!! Just ordered this, can’t wait to blast it!!!
I got this same sub.
It's not that bad.
Not bad I got it for $ 150. This sub can get loud 🔊.
Just subscribed nice channel keep up good work man ✌️
Costco has these for $189 this month. Absolutely getting a pair!
A pair of these is very hard to beat for the price!
Thanks for sharing that info, I’m sure it will help someone shopping!
I saw this too, I have a Pair of Pioneer SW-8MK2 wondering if i should upgrade now at Costco? is it worth it? I heard Klipsch isnt good at the Subwoofers... PS I have a full Kilpsch Set 450c and K-8000 FR and FL
There’s no doubt about it, Klipsch subwoofers aren’t as good as their speakers and some models have amp issues. There are also better subwoofer brands out there.
With that out of the way, this is a great deal on a good sub. If you have been happy with those Pioneer subs but you are looking for an upgrade, you’d be hard pressed to beat this deal.
Big upgrade from your Pioneer subs. If you make the switch, make sure you go duals again.
This is a great deal!
@@blazermdx thanks for the info bro, been going overboard already whats an extra $380 :/
Richard Reynoso i hear you there, my man. Haha!
I have the new Klipsch subwoofer and it really digs deep in the movie department. The finish is a much nice and very very durable compared to the model you have. Btw, i managed to get a full 5 Chanel surround sound system for 420$ when msrp is 4500$!
You and I think alike, haha! That’s exactly the type of comment I was hoping for, when I started all of this.
People would be shocked at the amount of money you can save going open box or used. That $420 investment probably has you quite pleased:)
I fell in love with my first little Klipsch sub-the Promedia 6 1/2" so I was keen to buy the 8" Heritage Promedia sub but wow what a disappointment it was, even though it's bigger and heavier and much more expensive than the smaller sub, it can't touch it. Klipsch says the smaller Promedia sub goes down to 35hz and I believe it but the Heritage sub doesn't so anywhere near it's purported 29hz
That little heritage setup seems like a of a disappointment, to be honest. I don’t have any hands-on experience with it so I’m holding out judgement a little, I just think they should have used higher quality parts, if they wanted to use the prestigious Heritage nameplate.
With that all said, I loved my Promedia setup, back in the day. That reminds me, I should review it:)
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us!
@@blazermdx Recovering audiophile Andrew Robinson has been bugging Klipsch to release a heritage sub for a while because of course their Heritage Line really lack deep bass in spite of their pricetags so when Klipsch same out with this lame little excuse for a subwoofer he just laughed
Got one of these the other day on Facebook marketplace for $60 & I am thrilled... could not pass that deal up... I almost felt bad taking it off this lady’s hands for that little...
There have been times where I’ve felt bad about a deal being too good. I’ve even told folks that they have stuff priced too low. When I’ve done that, most of the time they appreciate the honesty but are still happy to sell it for what they posted it for. Most folks are just happy to see it go without too much hassle.
With the internet at our fingertips, people could just do some research first, to make sure they aren’t leaving any money on the table. Seems most just don’t care, at least in this area.
Congratulations, $60 for this sub is an
outstanding deal!
I have 2 of those but the wireless version and I love it , good punching bass on movies and music , my living room is not so big so this sub make a good job , I looking for the third one to complete my subwoofer set up. the best part I got open box on ebay for 140.00 dollars
Hello! friend. I would like to know if this klipsch subwoofer has deep bass?
Hey man! I would say this sub has good output for it’s price point but I wouldn’t say it has deep bass. I would consider sub 20hz deep bass and this sub gets down to 30hz.
I like your reviews! Keep em going!
Hey, thanks! I’m going to keep plugging ahead, with improvements being made along the way.
I truly appreciate the support, my friend!
This is a three year old video and the R-12SW has gone down even further in price as the newer R-120SW replaces it. The R-120SW is a LOT more expensive too. I picked up one of these on Amazon for $138 and now I wish I'd bought two. Mine works great for both music using my vintage Cerwin-Vega R12's and for my home theater system in a small-ish (13'x19') man cave. I don't think you can do any better than this sub in performance and quality at the price at which it can be had. A Klipsch 12" sub for less than $150 is just an amazing deal. There are better subs, no doubt, but there are no better subs that even come close to this price point.
Today I had good luck
I bought subwoofer for only 124.99 at the Costco
Did you a get a receiver yet?
Got one from Costco. Great deal. $189. Building my first 5.1 system. Costco also has a deal on R-41Ms. $90 a pair. Can you believe it? Ordered 2 pairs. One thing is bothering me though. Are the R-41Ms good for front left and right speakers? I have read reviews where they say they are good side left and right speakers. But, what about front left and right? All inputs and suggestions welcome!!
The R-41M’s are considered to be a little on the small side, for mains, but at that price, it’s a no brainer!
It really depends on the size of the room they are going in and how loud you listen, but those Klipsch speakers should be just fine in most rooms at most listening levels. You will need to spend time getting that subwoofer dialed in and crossed over correctly but there’s tons of videos on how to do this.
The center is the most important speaker so make sure you get the best you can:)
You can always
@@blazermdx Thanks so much for the inputs. Much appreciated!
Newegg just had these on sale for $149.
I bought one from Costco a month ago for $149 plus tax.
That deal was crazy, you did very good! Congratulations on the new sub, I hope you are enjoying it!
Decent price/sub. Hard to find good value subs in that 200-300 range. What I've done, in the past is wait for closeouts and buy a 450-500 dollar sub for 200. Good enough for HT.
That’s really the smart path, if you don’t need to have the latest and greatest.
The value of this sub is very hard to beat, especially at close out prices.
I almost always buy last year’s electronics, to try and get the best deal possible. Unless the incoming gear has some features I feel I need.
A good choice in the $200-$300 range would be either the Dayton Audio SUB-1500 or the BIC America F12. If you can up it to closer to $400 then the RSL Speedwoofer 10s will outperform them all with ease.
Putting rear ported speakers against the wall creates more bass but if you have thin old walls, it can rattle and sound like crap. If you have good sturdy walls. Put the subwoofer close to the wall. You'll thank me.
Good stuff. Do you have a record with the scores of all the products you've reviewed? Doug score vibes :)
I’m starting to get pressure from folks, which is well deserved, to come up with a leaderboard. I’m just not very good at computers, which is holding me back some. I’m definitely working at some things in the background, which will improve things.
I’m a big Doug fan, that’s kind of what I’d like to emulate, without copying.
Thank you very much for the suggestion, my friend!
Average Guy Hi-Fi make sure to compare the subs against each other. Let’s say if you did a review on a svs sub previous and you just did a review on a similarly price PSA subwoofer, make sure to tell which one you’d prefer because it is really hard to put a rating on subwoofers, there are just too many variables.
Costco now has this on sell for $149 in my area right now.
Same here, ordered one today to go with my denon dm41 system👍
I currently have two of these suckers, and they are great for the price!
They really are fantastic for the price! I think two would be more than moray people, in most rooms will ever need.
Thanks for stopping by, my friend!
Hey how deep is the bass on a single one of the?...please and thank you
90 % piople proboble whiting for souds test not for touching wood body of subs:)
is this sub good for listening to music or should I get a different sub for music
costco 169.99 great price
Talk about the product only!! Review starts at 3:05. Learn how to stay on topic!
Plenty of other options for you on TH-cam. I’d suggest you just someone else, who isn’t as long-winded as I am.
Thanks for stopping by!
@@blazermdx so you don't like constructive criticism? You better stay on topic, you could have double or triple your subscriber count..
I run a 7.2 setup all Klipsch reference speakers. 2 R120 subs that are priced on Klipsch home page for 499 and I got the for the 249 price. 2 R820 towers which I got both for the price of 1. 1 R52C for the center. And 4 R41M for the 4 surround channels and I am very impressed with how they sound. My theater is completed with a 120 inch screen.
Those are all very good deals, nicely done!
120” screen is only something I can dream about, since my place is so small and I’m only renting at the moment. One day!
Thanks for sharing those deals!
bought it today myself at costco's website for 150 plus tax. Going to try and pair it with a Klipsch R-10SW. I have a 2-row media room with a tier. So I'll place this one diagonal in the back of the room (or flip them). It will give me a 5.2.4 setup with my Pioneer vsx-lx303 receiver
Congratulations on the new addition! Dual subs is definitely the way to go, if you have the room. It will take some time getting them setup correctly but once that’s finished, you’ll be rewarded with more output and more consistent bass.
When does it arrive?
This thing murders any sonos sub. I'm not the biggest klipsch fan, but sonos is just one level above pyle.
A couple of my friends have Sonos subs and they sound pretty good but this Klipsch definitely digs deeper and has more output. It’s also quite a bit less expensive than the Sonos😆
This woofer sounds good but its not very loud.
Can you put these in a car?
Wondering the same thing
I picked one from Costco I love it
Costco has this for 150$ right now
This model is $189 at Costco right now (Feb 2021). I beleave it was recently discontinued.
Yeah, Costco is selling a ton of these subs. This is very hard to beat for the money.
I think this will be a fantastic jumping off point, to many out there. I was quite impressed with its performance.
Thanks for helping let everyone know, it really is a great deal!
How is it with music, both steaming and cds/
Great review! I just bought 3 of these for $150 a pop. What a great sale! Gonna work well in my two channel room, and bedroom. Not good enough for my main system, but still fantastic.
looking back... good move!
Wait for the Christmas shopping season, price will go down. Last year, it was 50% off.
Definitely! Klipsch and Polk subs seem to hit that 50% off mark, during the holidays.
Great advice!
Picking one up tomorrow basically new on offerup for $135
Did you pick it up yet? That’s a great deal for this sub.
I would love to hear your initial impressions, if you have some time:)
Is it better then the polk psw10?
I'm building a home theater system for my dad, he's on a lower budget, $189 now at costco, how much worse is this than a SVS 2000, do you have a subwoofer in the 200-500 range that would be a huge improvement to this>
This is a great sub, especially for the Costco sale price.
I’ve owned dual SB-2000 and they are definitely better subwoofers but they are also about 3 x the price of this klipsch.
If I had that budget and needed a sub or two, I’d be checking out the 10” Speedwoofer.
How large is the room?
@@blazermdx hey! Would the SVS SB12 NSD be much better than this Klipsch? Is it wort like 250 USD more for the SVS than for the Klipsch? I'll be using both for movies and for music.
Just bought this sub at Costco for $150. Killer deal.
Me too!
most sound better playing movies how does it double up for Music .
I’m new to this. Can I connect it straight to tv or computer or laptop alone without avr or speakers?
No, this only reproduces low frequency (bass) notes. If you try to play this on its own you'll only hear rumbling sounds. If you don't want to make a big investment in a multichannel receiver, you can look for a stereo amplifier instead. Of course you need a pair of speakers to go with it as well.
Angel Gonzalez thank you so much
$150 at Costco right now.
Thanks for helping out and mentioning this! A big goal of this channel is to help people save some money in this hobby, whenever possible.
You are helping me accomplish this. Thanks again, my friend!
They are $169 at Costco now
The price is still going down.
In Toronto 800 dollars there in USA everything cheap here everywhere you go you are RIP off
Yeah, from everything I read, the used audio market can vary wildly.
Thanks for stopping by!
Gotta pay for that "free" Canadian healthcare!
Nice for you in the US. In germany 320€. - thats 380$
Can you name your 5 top subs made within the last 10 years?
I have this sub and I payed 159.00 at Costco website. I love it this is so powerful. I'm getting into klipsch and this is great awesome.
You've owned hundreds of subwoofers?. Without owning a store that sells subs. That's difficult to do. That's almost every home theater subwoofer in the last 40+ years.
Hi... just discovered your channel and subscribed. Like how you make things easy to understand. I have a question about the r12sw... I ordered (2) of them as part of a 7.2.4 system that I am building out. With the GAIN, the starting point should be the 12 o'clock position, but since I am using (2) subwoofers, should I set the GAIN to the 9 'clock position and go from there? I like bass, but don't want it to the point that it angers my wife when she watches Disney+ downstairs in the living room.... lol. Thanks for the help and the great vdeos. I ordered my Klipsch stuff mostly through Costco and some from Amazon/Emotiva:
Klipsch R-625FA Tower Speakers x4
Klipsch R-41M Bookshelf Speakers x2
Klipsch R-52C Center Channel Speaker
Emotiva BasX 7 amplifier
Denon AVR-X3700H receiver
For a good laugh, check out our Canadian prices up here in Canada for audio equipment. I guess the world wants us to listen to tinny, cheap crap seeing as how some things in audio cost more than a car, or installing aluminum siding on your home, or investing for retirement. It's just a disgraceful scam up here. See for yourselves.
Still worth buying?
i just got 2 new on amazon for 189 each
I currently have the R-112sw and the ProMedia 2.1 sub as 2 subs for a home theater. The 112 is solid smooth and refined down to 25 Hz and really SHAKES the couch and my entire room, and the ProMedia slams really hard. Together, they're the best of both kinds of bass, and this R-12 model may replace the ProMedia if the amp overheating becomes a problem, which the more nearer field placement should help take care of. IMO, 2 matching models of really any sub can only cover so many kinds of bass by themselves. When the budget allows, I might add an SVS PC 2000 pro to extend the response down to the infrasonics, while still keeping the punchiness of the Klipsches to enhance the lower midbass with the SVS together👍
Klipsch theater pack can be had for 269 and this sub 149 r51m bookshelf 179. Bad ass atmos system with a 8 and 12 in the sw department
I'm new to the home theater scene. How does this sub hook up? Do i need a receiver or can just hook it up to my sound bar? Thanks for your time
Same how does it hook up.
It has its own internal amplifier with a low pass crossover, so a receiver is not necessary. Does your sound bar have a subwoofer output? Or any kind of output at all?
Thanks for chiming in!
Yes, does your soundbar have a subwoofer or LFE output? If it does, you should be good to go.
The problem is that some soundbars use proprietary sub connections or wireless, so you’ll need to check your manual.
Just bought one at Costco cuz I need the Ap out of it. 149 on sale
That Costco sale is nuts. Congratulations on the new addition!
@@blazermdx thanks. Hooking it up now to see if I like it as is other wise my custom sub needs a new amp.
The quadraflex fried on of the resistors on the board and killed it.
If this one can handel it for a couple days of music I’ll leave it alone and actually buy an amp for the other
Man you deserve more subscribers, thank you very much for such a detail and clear review. I got this subwoofer, not big fan of its switches it feels flimsy, other than that is really good. I got it at $320 in Mexico where its MSRP is above $400.
Thanks! I’m really happy with the channel growth, after the first 9 months or so.It’s been a ton of work but it’s kept me occupied, during these strange times.
This is a nice subwoofer for the money, no doubt about it. I’m very impressed with what they were able to do, at this price point.
Thank you for the kind words!
hello dustin. sen here. is this r12sw good for my r41m speakers please???
Does it Distorted at high volume I want to get one but just don’t know because I’m a basshead and love bass
this is a very good subwoofer it has very good bass i like the way it sounds.
Question
I just purchased the klipsch sixes.
Apparently, the klipsch fives automatically send the lower frequency to a paired sub.
But the sixes don't.
So should I pair a sub to my klipsch sixes?
Great review..i got the Klipsch Cinema 600 soundbar...it has a sub out..so wanted to get a better sub then what came with it...for $150 new on Amazon..i got 2...i got a much better sub for my HT...so this should be good...
Yeah, this sub is definitely a few steps up from the included sub with the soundbar. Running two of these, vs. the included sub will make movies and video games MUCH more fun:)
Let me know what you think, once you get them set up. I bet you’ll be a happy camper!
@@blazermdx TY..yeah i gotta mess with them..i got em stacked atm as i hotta move stuff around to put them up front in the corners, but as of now they sound boomy and off to my ears...but i think it might be the phase, as when i had these 2 and the one that came with the soundbar on, the bass was way less, so i assune the one that came with the sound bar is out of phase 180..so maybe the sound bar is also.
I got a brand new one with a warranty from Newegg today for $149
I believe it's closer to 240w RMS, sticker top right' power consumption 240w.
Just bought one for $105 on offerup open box. It really booms.
That’s a great deal! Congratulations on the new sub!
@@blazermdx thank you.
I'm ordering 1 tomorrow and another one tax time. Then I'm gonna put two Kicker Comp drivers in both! That's the key to a Klipsch. Change out the driver. And turn them off when done. Not standby because the capacitors are just cooking for no reason. I will say no more. You can lead a h I horse to water...
Costco has these for $149 this month.
True and going off the comments here, they are selling a ton of them!
Pretty hard to beat this deal so I can definitely understand why folks are snatching them up.
$169 at Costco right now (3/17/21).
To compere that with Jamo c912 which one is better?
Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with that Jamo sub so I’m not sure how it would stack up to this Klipsch.
Looking at the specs, it looks like the Jamo should have a slight edge but it’s close.
Sorry that I couldn’t be of more help!
Hiya,
I purchased the reference series 12" R120SW 400W sub for $190 sounds great to me.
Anytime you can get a sub of that caliber under $200, you are doing quite well.
Congratulations on the new sub and thank you very much for taking the time to comment!
How low can this sub go like for real? Of course the cone will move even with 5HZ but how low can i actually hear bass with this sub? I like really like 30HZ :) 40-50HZ is too "boomy" for me, too high..
How to hookup my subwoofer to my receiver.
What do you think about Infinity sub R12 ?? thanks
Thats a great sub
Yes, it’s an excellent sub for the money. Especially when it’s on sale, like it is now, for $199:)
@@blazermdx Went back up..i pulled the trigger on the Klipsch for 170shipped from amazon
Costco now has this on sell for $149 in my area right now.
Just got one
Congratulations!
Have you hooked it up yet?
@@blazermdx yeah, it sounds really good with my pc setup😂
James Gordon i got 2 for same price you must be from Washington
$149.00 at Costco right now.
Which will it match better? 51M or 600M?
This sub would go fine with either options, in most rooms. Speaking of rooms, how large is the room this system would be going in?
Do you have a webpage where you list all the subs you have reviewed, or all the other equipment. I am looking for a new sub and would love to see all the comparisons you have done to help narrow down
im listening to thin on my promedia 2.1 and the r12sw i play them both at the same time using a jack splitter! :)
Hi. Can this accept 220v? It says on the back 110 -240 but i cant find any manual or spec sheet that will confirm this. Will appreciate if anyone can confirm this. Thanks
I am no electrician but from what I’ve read, you shouldn’t have any problems using a 240V product, with a 220V socket.
Again, I am no expert so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me, can chime in with a more definitive answer.
Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to ask the question!
I like my Bose 700 , small bass module and way way louder than the sonos which I bought aswell and returned next day ended up buying another Bose 700 for my room and now am looking for a klipsch subwoofer for my back yard patio but size is alitle too big so I wll go for a 10” instead
If you are planning on putting the sub outside, I would go larger vs smaller, since you are losing any potential room gain. That’s if you have the room, obviously:)
Outdoor subwoofers are next level, haha!
hi me again ..should I go with this sub ..are the bic America F12..can't decided ....
Well, I don’t have any experience with that BIC subwoofer just yet so I’m not quite sure which is better.
The good news is that I actually grabbed a BIC F12 last week and I’ll be testing it out either this coming week or the next.
Stay tuned, my friend!
did i need amplifier for this subwoofer ?
This subwoofer is powered, meaning that it has an amplifier built in that will power the woofer only. You will need to connect it to a receiver or a soundbar, preferably something with a sub out connection.
Most people connect home subwoofers to receivers.
I like klipsch speakers but can’t say the same about their subwoofers. I have the 2018 RP line but paired it with 2 svs pb2000s instead
I’m with you there! Klipsch does a decent job in the entry-level sub lineup but they haven’t been a contender in the higher end subs, for a long time.
Klipsch RP and SVS, a recipe for success:)
what u think.about the Bic America 12 F12 over this sub..... thanks ...
Got two at Costco for $150 each
I've read tons of bad reviews on these. Evidently, klipsch is not a good home theater brand. These are $150 everywhere now. After reading about their reputation, I purchased an SVS Pb1000 Pro.
Yea I thought about getting it until i read multiple reviews about a low hum whenever it's powered on. That and it says the item is Non-returnable so its not a risk im willing to take, im gonna get a Polk psw10
