Klipsch Subwoofer 12

Review by HT_amateur : Bang, literally, for the buck

I purchased one of these from Amazon about 9 months ago, to replace an old Polk 150w sub. Even though this was a smaller size driver/cone, it significantly out-performed the Polk it replaced. I liked it so much, that I wanted a second one to have a less "directional" bass. In my house, I can't position the bass where it's location audibly isn't obvious. So I waited for another 'sale', and added a second one. This rounded out the room, and the positional nature of the bass source(s), is no longer apparent. It simply rounds-out the room. The directional nature of the bass, is not a subwoofer issue -- it's a placement issue.For the price vs. performance, for my 7.1 Home Theater environment, this was a wonderful addition.I will note, that both units sit on hardwood floors, and even with the rubber pads (that come with it) underneath the smallish feet, it will 'walk' a bit if you really crank it up -- especially for music, etc... Hasn't bothered me enough to figure out a better solution -- will probably see if adding some additional rubber pads (like the ones that go under sofas) will solve the 'walk'. I docked 1 star (4 out of 5) because of the walk and the design issue that leads to it.Again, I'm not an audiophile -- so those who want to spend 3-4 times as much, to get that "little bit more" out of a subwoofer, sonically speaking, then that's great. I'm a cost-conservative person, and this - on sale - really fit the bill, twice ;)Also, one of my requirements was downward firing -- I have cats, and anything with a face grill would not survive. This also works well for those with that 'unique' situation.

Review by happywife : bass you can feel

This is awesome. If you want to feel your bass - get this. You will not be disappointed.

Review by Ronald Merkal "RSM" : Klipsch woofer speaker performance

The Klipsch woofer speaker works great! All I had to do was make the hardware connections, and then adjust the volume and the band pass filter to the levels that suited me. I should have bought one years ago.

Review by toya20 "dog/cat caretaker" : Gift for music lover.

My husband wanted this. Great online reviews. He has used it and is very pleased with sound and performance.

Review by S. Davis : Very happy!

Deeper base than my old Bose 321 system. For an 8 inch speaker makes a deep base sound. I have heard better but from larger, more expensive subwoofers.
