Was a Nice Father's Day Gift!

I started building my Klipsch speaker system about two years ago. In May 2013 purchased two F30 towers, a C-20 center speaker, and two S-10 surrounds. I already had an older Kenwood sub from a past system. All of these speakers were connected to a Denon AVR-1913 (7.1), also purchased in May 2013, and calibrated via Audyssey. The system sounded good but was obviously missing in the sub area. In December 2014 I added two additional S-10 surrounds and reconfigured the system adding two "front high" speakers. Sounded better but was still missing in the sub area. After months of hint dropping, I received the Klipsch R-12SW sub for Father's Day from my wife. Setup in less than ten minutes, re-calibrated again with Audyssey, and WOW! What I had been searching for had been found! This system is in my man-cave connected to my network, three tvs, a cable dvr, a Roku3, a Sony Blu-Ray, a Playstation3, and a dvd recorder. I never thought internet radio could sound so stinking good! And movies literally kick some major butt! My only disappointment is waiting two years before acquiring this sub....it rocks!
Pros: A Boomer, Attractive, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had this sub 5-7 years now and been very pleased with it.. but today it started to shut off when i give it some power??? I know its not the speaker cause when i unplug the power and plug it back on all works for about 10-15sec and it shuts off again?? If i turn it all the way Down.. it keeps playing but if i turn up the just a quarter if just shuts Down!!! Anyone with the same problem????

Quality Subwoofer for sure

I own several Klipsch subwoofers, this 12" is a great medium sized unit with excellent sound. I also own the 10" model which is very impressive for the size if space is an issue.
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio

Great when it works

I have had this sub for about 3 years. Recently the power plug has gotten loose and now my sub will not power up at all. I have even changed the plug hoping that would fix it. Still doesn't work. I love the sound and power of bass this thing puts out, I just wish the plug was a more solid design.

Goed geluid, minder kwalitatieve bouw

intussen heb ik de sub 8 jaar en het geluid ben ik zeer tevreden over. Echter na 4 jaar ging de sub stuk, nieuwe voeding nodig.4 jaar later weer stuk, nu niet meer te repareren. Bouwkwaliteit is dus niet zo goed. Ik ben ook niet de enige.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
