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

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).....

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.

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

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.

House shaking, big room sound! If you need to fill a big room with low range full bass, Klipsch Reference R-12SW is what you need.

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!

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.
The Reference R-12SW subwoofer uncovers what you've been missing in your music, movies and games -- clean chest-thumping bass. The high performance subwoofer provides deep bass and placement flexibility thanks to its front firing driver and all digital amplifier.
That Quiver You Feel Is Love. And Bass.
The R-12SW features a 12-inch copper-spun IMG driver that provides remarkably low frequency response with minimal cone breakup and distortion. The built-in all-digital amplifier delivers ample power with high efficiency and true-to-source accuracy in reproduction. The low pass crossover and phase control allows you to blend the subwoofer's low-frequency tones with other Klipsch speakers as well as establish the ideal level of bass.
The R-12SW is housed in a durable MDF cabinet and finished with a brushed black polymer veneer. The front-mounted LED power indicator lets you know when the system is powered on or off. You've been warned.
Spun Copper IMG Woofer
Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid - providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion.

Front-Firing Driver
