Product came damaged and I am still trying to work out a partial refund. Adorama said a couple of days but it's been over two weeks now for an update on the partial refund that I requested.

Damaged While Shipping

When it works, it's phenomenal.  However it is only working about 50% of the time.  Sometimes I have to adjust the gain knob and sometimes I have to adjust the frequency knob....and other times it just doesn't work no matter what I try.  I'm very frustrated with its lack of reliability... But when it works it is a wonderful addition to my living room.

Amazing (when it works)

I have been happy with it so far definitely a deeper house shaking bass than the SPL-120.

Shake the house!

I already have 3 of these in my home theater room so this is the 4th.  6 subs total.  It sounds great.  The box was a bit terrible with holes and tears, so I was surprised the speaker wasn't damaged.  They need to have them labeled fragile and handle with care.  Even the foam inside was broken.

Klipsch nice sun sound

This subwoofer is awesome but if u live in a apartment it's not a good idea but I love it it goes good with my 12in subwoofer by klipsch  I would recommend this and any other products made by klipsch plus thanks adorama for the great deal on that 15 in klipsch subwoofer

Earthquake

Much bigger than expected but amazed at the sound. Klipsch with the win as always

Klipsch with the win

For the price and performance of this subwoofer, its pretty much the best you can get when its on sale. Time will only tell if my amp goes out but honestly that isn't as big a deal, for me at least. Easy enough fix with my skills or just use a sub amp and just use the existing amp plate input with another amp.

Overall dollars per value, I would recommend it, rattle my home.

Good with a few caveats

Dual theater subs

I have always owned Klipsch subs. Still own 2 12 Synergy series subs. But like everything I like to go big , so I purchased the SPL 15 . I'm driving it with a Yamaha receiver and does this sub really make the entire house rattle . I have the gain at 80 percent along with the setting at 75 HZ. It's sitting pretty between my 2 sofas . This sub really moves air.  Love the feeling of bass through the sofas . Happy customer.

SPL 150 is the way to go

Item received almost impossibly quick. 2 days, maybe. It could have been 1 and a handful of hours. I ordered an AVR the same day from a different vendor and it showed up almost 2 weeks later. 

4 or so years ago I purchased the Jamo surround set with the 3 woofer towers, bookshelf, and center speaker/s. It also came with the thin 10" sub that performs way above its class imo.

Adorama is one of those companies that really shines and comes through in a big way if you're patient and shop cautiously. Catching the extreme sales is what makes Adorama the place to buy from if you can stay vigilant. Adorama has saved me thousands of dollars off retail. THOUSANDS!

Highly recommended.

Best deals you'll find for NIB items.

I heard about Klipsch years ago and bought a used 15"sub a pair of R-28 the R-15 m's and thr R-25C. There are very few words to say besides WOW! The difference is night and day. Thing is my old gear wasn't from a thrift store, but I won't throw shade on what brand I had. I highly recommend Klipsch. The speakers just bring movies and music to life so much more than anything I've heard yet.

I'm Blown Away!

Mike from Sound Accoustic Design made me an AWESOME deal.  My package came with the following:
 
Klipsch Ebony RF-7III (x2).
Klipsch RC-64III Center Speaker 
Klipsch RP-250S Surround (x4) 
Klipsch SPL-150 Subwoofer 
Denon AVR-X8500H Receiver (One BADASS Receiver)
I would later complete my theatre room by purchasing:

Klipsch RP-250S Surround (x4) 
Klipsch CDT-5800-C II ceiling speakers (x4)

My subwoofer amp wasn't working. Nick from Klipsch was great in resolving this issue. We are still in the process of fixing this but I feel confident this will be done . Excellent support and customer service.

People- this is some of the best sound equipment I have ever owned. I am a veteran of the military and have been around the world and have heard a lore of great systems.  Klipsch & Denon easily Some Of the best sounding and affordable sound equipment!!!!

Thank you Mike and Nick!!!

Klipsch?. EASILY ONE OF THE BEST!!!!

Got exactly 10 months out of it. Shortly after I purchased it, it for discontinued. 10 months into it the amp died. I was told the amp will eventually fail when I purchased it, but I didn't want to believe it. It worked well prior to dying.

The amp will fail

Bought Spl-150 and it died as soon as i connected to the powerline. After waiting for 5 months for a new one connected and died due to the same reasons after 2 days. Now need to contact the dealer and go thru all the process again, sooooo painfull

Bad components

One powerful subwoofer. This subwoofer really shines when it comes to playing games ans watching movies. Dont get me wrong its also great for movies but its role is for that low frequency response which it is an absolute beast at. The rattle your space will experience will still sound amazing because it is absolutely destinguishable from the bass the sub is pumping out. Takes a little while to break in but once it does its even more amazing.

One powerful sub

I purchased this subwoofer about two years ago to replace a 12? from Polk Audio.  This makes my home theater system a mixture of Polk Audio flagship speakers and Klipsch.  I actually love them both, but am now at a crossroads due my desire to update my system from a 7.2 to a 9.2 system by adding front height presence speakers and replacing my Dolby Atmos speakers (also from Klipsch) to ceiling mounted speakers.  Of all my Polk Audio speakers, the subwoofer was it?s weakest link.  But this Klipsch 15? speaker has certainly resolved that issue and created all new ones.  One, I?m having to put my niknaks back into their places after listening to anything with serious bass in it, as the entire house (along with my neighbors?) shake with the deep lows.  And when it comes to those really deep lows, this subwoofer most definitely delivers.  I can?t imagine having two of them.  I?m already turning the level down on this one as it is.  It literally has shown me all the areas within my home where connections could have been tighter, as I can rumble the entire house with this one subwoofer.  I?m as pleased today with the sound from this speaker as I was when I first bought it.  Incidentally, I shopped numerous different brands of subs before I went with the Klipsch. But the Klipsch simply had the best specifications, especially when it comes to that really LOW frequency response, which is lower than that of which the human ears can even hear.

Great bass, punchy and crystal clear.

Let me first explain, I have 2 of these. These paired with a Marantz offer 400 watts of power. And though these are underpowered, they still provide the lows appropriate for most movies. Honestly, you will need to do the crawl method as you will have dead zones especially in a bigger room. But once you have this sub dialed in, one would be satisfied especially with 2. That being said, I would not buy these right now.  10/14/2022 this subwoofer's retail is 1399. I'm sorry this is double the price of summer 2020 and fall 2019 which were priced at 700 dollars, which should be the price of this subwoofer.  These do sound excellent for the price I bought them, but virtually 1400 is too much, at 400 watts at 15inches. Maybe if this was an 18inch then yes maybe. But, the performance isn't 1400. I would go for a SVS 12 inch. You will get more punch and more power for the same price. Don't get me wrong, I love this subwoofer. But the up mark on the retail is crazy.

5 Stars but I wouldn't buy

I have owned the Reference II and the new SPL 15 inch subwoofers (2) They are junk due to very poor design and/or inferior parts in the amplifiers. I have yet to have one last longer than two years.

Do Not Buy

I bought two SPL-150 subwoofers in June of 2021. Both of them have died in the last 6 months. I have not yet been able to get a hold of customer service

Died within one year

An absolutely amazing sub woofer. I purchased "renewed" from Amazon. Had an issue with the plate amp, which Klipsch made right. Excellent product, excellent customer service. Couldn't ask for more. The plate amp was easy to replace after Klipsch sent a new one. The difference in movies and music with this thing is unreal!

Peels the paint off the walls!!!

All i have to say is wow, powerful clean sound. I continuosly get blown away by it

Best sub ever

Worth every penny! Deep rumbling or hard hitting. Whatever you ask of them, the SPL-150s will provide.

Heart Thumping Bass!

I?ve owned many different top model klipsch 12 inch subs in the past and this 15? sub beats them by a mile. Unbelievable clear sound.

Best Klipsch sub ever!

What a subwoofer!!! Excellent quality. It is exactly the subwoofer that I expected.

Real beast

I bought this as part of a set with the RP6080FA II. This sub gives very nice low tones without being over powering. I know where all the loose fixtures in my house are now too. anything that can rattle this sub will rattle it. It can power through. But the ultimate test to put a sub or sound system through is a high quality copy of DJ Magic Mike's "How Low Can You Go". That will let you know if you have a good sub. This song will test the limits of your sub and mids. I have blown out a few cheap speakers back in the day with this song LOL. (Marantz SR6014 Receiver)

This thing is HUGE and it hits deep ;-p

Nice but not sure it was worth the price. Coming from the R10SW sub, it has deeper bass but the R10SW sounded great and I'm not sure the SPL-150 is worth the high price tag. Also, I have to turn the gain up much higher on the SPL-150 then I ever had to on the R10 to get any bass out of it. On the R10 I barely had to turn the gain to 25% but on the 15 I have it around 50-75% all the time.

Probably not worth the money

Quality sound

I bought two of these beast last yr help get great lows out of my vinyl collection.  but man did I get more than I bargained for!! I've been a Klipsch fan since 1978 so I knew these subs were for real!!
