You need eq capabilites and its far from perfect. But for the price it makes compromises in the exact right places if you value just nice, clean, tight, light and powerful bass its very good. And it looks great too!

The R-121SW 12" 400W Powered Subwoofer gives you a true movie going experience. Sounds phenomenal and looks elegant. You can't go wrong with with this one.

Bought this sub to supplement my R-40PM's. I'm still playing with the gain/crossover configuration, but the base travels and has a great punch. This will certainly shake your kitchen glassware and knock you out if you turn it up! I got the y-splitter cable to connect the sub to the speakers because I guess you can get better (double?) output..from one novice audiophile to another.

A deep bass that fills the entire room. You can feel the crisp and clear sound in your ears and chest. Great speaker.

I bought a refurb subwoofer May of 2023. The amp went bad around September 2023 so I contacted support. Initially they told me they would refund me because they didn't have a replacement product. Then they came back and said the warranty was only 90 days (really fine print) and there was nothing they could do. Really disappointing to throw away money on a product that only lasted 4 months and I never pushed it pass half volume. I inquired again to see if they had replacement parts as all I wanted was the amp so I could replace it myself. The responded with the following: "Hello, Thank you for contacting Klipsch! We no longer carry the original R-12SW amplifiers, but an amp from the newer R-120SW is functionally identical and can be used as a direct replacement. Part number and pricing below. 1066491 R-120SW Replacement Amp Kit NA/EUA/AUS (With Black Screws) - $170.20/ea If you wish to order, you can contact us at 800-554-7724, Option 1, between 8A.M.-5P.M.

The bass is fantastic, it sounds great with music, movies and gaming. It blends well with my two R-820F towers, R-34C center and the pair of RP-502S speakers.

I wanted the 10 inch for tight sound, to my surprise the 12's are great.

Received very quickly and in great shape. Hooked it up and Wow! We have been w/out a Subwoofer for years and the R-121 delivered in a big way. Great sound and there has been some heavy bass put through it. Also appreciated that this product is made in the USA ???? Very happy with purchase.

Very pleased with the subwoofer. Strongly considering getting a second one. Rattles my basement and it's not past halfway up on the gain.

The addition of the woofer really enhances the sound. It makes the system complete.

No doubt a very fine subwoofer. It adds bass where I needed it. A small problem of finding the correct setting to prevent low frequency vibrations at times when little bass is needed.

I have been very impressed with the performance of this subwoofer in the short time that I've had it already. Very clear, powerful bass that can fill the entire 2k sqft house with sound at only half power if desired, but it still pairs very well with the R50M bookshelf speakers without overpowering them.

First big purchase I've made for a subwoofer and I'm floored by the oomph it gives to my music. Paired with some reference bookshelves, it gets the job, and more, done! I absolute love it.

Added so much dimension to my existing system, can't believe I waited so long to order this. It's paired with 2 x R-605FAs, an R-30C, and a pair of R-40PMs.

I bought a certified factory refurbished subwoofer in May 2023. The amplifier went out October 2023 and Klipsch is telling me they do not have a replacement and the refund date has passed. I have purchased many Klipsch products over the years so their response is really disappointing.

Bought this on sale, with the RP-500M2's. It fills in the bottom nicely, without overpowering the 500's. It shakes my entire living room. The 500's are paired an Emotiva BasX 2 and it helped to really bring the 500's forward. Very happy with the sub, overall. Absolutely worth what I paid for it.

I always wanting to update my home theater system and the Klipsch brand has been a brand that I trust and know they have great products. This R-121SW subwoofer has been a nice upgrade from my previous one. We have it with a projector that we use as a home theater and it really brings out the bass nicely for movies, tv shows, music, etc. I would recommend to have high quality speakers to match this subwoofer to get the most out of it. It was easy to get up and going and overall have enjoyed it...
