Klipsch R-12SW 12" subwoofer

My subwoofer was supposed to be a used unit, but based upon the packing, literature, and condition of the speaker.... I really believe I received a BRAND NEW speaker! To say I am satisfied by the speedy shipping and excellent subwoofer, I am totally happy. Thank you. Bill Liedtke

Well worth the investment......

These sound totally awesome and I would definitely recommend them for anyone who doesn't have a subwoofer in the sound system setup or who may only have one 10" subwoofer. I've had one 10" subwoofer for 30 years and oh what a great difference it is. Since the new receiver I purchased came with two subwoofer outputs I felt obligated to use them (lol).....

Even Better Than Expected

I bought a pair of these to replace a 12 year old Klipsch RW-12d. I was expecting similar performance and sound, but was blown away by how much tighter and cleaner these are in comparison. Adorama had them to me in the middle of nowhere in 3 days. Absolutely happy with my purchase.

Great speakers for the price

For the price this setup is amazing, I was doing alot of online research on what would be the best theater system and klipsch was constantly being shown. The subwoofer really packs a mean punch and if you want even more the reciever allows you to hook another one up for a bass that your ancestors would feel. Just know that the remote and cables didn't come with it, so just fyi

Great subwoofer

Love this speaker. It's an "older" model but looking online they don't change very much between the years. And I guess subwoofers have long model lifespans. Works great. Lots of Ooomph. Way better then 150W vintage RCA subwoofer speaker I replaced. Bigger then I expected but that's on me for not measuring lol.

A great purchase

Both the Center Channel and the 450 watt Subwoofer are excellent. The subwoofer has excellent musical range over the smaller subwoofers which can be turned down to a lower volume if needed. The Center Channel is a big improvement over the smaller Definitive Technology subwoofer allowing us to hear voice production with more clarity. A great purchase!

Very good quality at a great price

Replaced my stock 8" sub that came with my surround system and this thing exceeded the high expectations I had of it. I just got it today but it completely absolutely blows my original sub out of the water. Loud clear deep bass without distortion. It is very worth what they sell for. Also this is my first adorama purchase also and I'm a little surprised with how great this transaction was. I got it very fast and in perfect condition!

Great Buy and Great Sound

By Joe B.

I've had a 5.0 system for a while, opting not to have a sub-woofer while I lived in a condo, but now that I have a house, I decided to complete my sound system with this sub-woofer, and I now know what I've been missing. This speaker completes the home theater experience for me and provides a complete range a bass sounds, and it's probably more sub-woofer than I need but I'll take it. Very satisfied with the purchase, and a great price too. I saw this on sale at Best Buy for the same price bu...

Pairing the R-12SW with a set of older speakers

By ponchok2002

Even though I paired this sub-woofer to a set of older speakers, this sound is amazing. This is my 2nd R-12SW.

It features a low pass crossover and phase control, allowing you to seamlessly blend the subwoofer's low-frequency tones with other Klipsch speakers and establish the ideal level of bass for your audio setup.

Housed in a durable MDF cabinet with a stylish brushed black polymer veneer finish, the R-12SW is designed to integrate seamlessly into any decor. The front-mounted LED power indicator provides a clear signal when the system is powered on or off, while the strong, flexible, removable grille adds a refined look that is acoustically transparent.
