Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've owned many subs. In fact, this sub replaced my 10" Klipsch SW-450. I have to say, this sub does not disappoint! It sounds extremely deep for its size & wattage. It rumbles deep, doesn't have any hardware rattles or vibrations, but most importantly, it really compliments my other Klipsch Reference speakers. It also looks fantastic!

I ordered 2 of these on black Friday for 1/2 price with free shipping. Can't get any better. For their size they have DEEP bass and sound great and not muddy. Klipsch says to tell the neighbors "Hi" ad with 2 of these I can definitely do that. LOL

In order to put it all together you got to have a Kilpsch Subwoofer. While watching a movie or listening to music this thing will turn heads to wonderland. This subwoofer will bring out sounds that you've never knew existed. POWER!!

I got a second one for the sake of symmetry (and to have something to plug into my sub 2 connection) but my living room is relatively small so now instead of one with the gain halfway, I’ve got 2 with the gain at about 1/3. Definitely a problem I like having. Oh and the gain goes up to 11, nice touch.

I wasn't sure what to expect for performance when I purchased this sub-woofer, after all it is only a 10" driver, but it's from a name recognized in the speaker industry as building outstanding speakers. I was not disappointed. This sub-woofer can push out enough bass to drive you out of the room without any distortion. I have this running with a pair of R-26F's, an R-25C, a pair of R-14M's and a pair of Jensen bookshelf speakers for a 7.2 surround sound setup. WOW...absolutely amazing sound from the whole setup. I highly recommend the Klipsch speaker brand.

Great sub, small an loud. Can feel the bass without the rattle and distortion like other cheaper brand subs do.

I was torn between the 12" and this 10", but at this price, I could get two 10"s if I wanted to. I have just one so far, and I am quite satisfied.

I have enjoyed every moment with this piece of equipment. My surround sound is off the charts. And it’s still kickin.

I needed to replace our 10" powered sub that stopped working. After doing a lot of research I found for the price point that the Klipsch Reference R-10SW subwoofer was a really good deal. I was debating between the Klipsch R-10SW or maybe going to their 12" sub. The day I went to purchase the sub they (R-10SW) happen to be on sale for half price, so I got two of them. I'm love how low and responsive these 10's sound. In the pics you might see where I added a piece of black felt material on the top of each the sub boxes to prevent any reflection from movie screen glaring on the tops.

Connect it to onkyo receiver and Klipsch 5 speaker satellite in my home theater room. Worth the extra $ for theater like sound . Awesome sounds for the price.

This Klipsch Sub is awesome for a ten inch. I have Klipsch Chorus for my mains and they are 15 inch three way. I am amazed how the 300w ten inch compliments their big brothers.. Love it!!

I mated this ten inch sub with the Klipsch twelve inch in my Man Cave Extension. This subwoofer is a nice, but it cannot go really low. All in all a welcomed addition.

Had been looking at replacing my entertainment center sub recently. Got a "5.1 system in a box" several years ago and have slowly replaced each component one at a time. New receiver. New front L/R channels. New center channel. Moved old front L/R to the rear surround positions. Now the old sub had always worked fine. Hit the lows, slightly rumbled the couch, did the job but nothing special. Doing some Christmas shopping on black Friday with other things in mind and BOOM...here this thing is half priced from regular. So of course did some research, read maybe 30-40 reviews, visited multiple sites to check price. Couldn't have gotten the thing cheaper anywhere and never saw anything under a 4 out of 5 review(rare) so I pulled the trigger. Kept the old sub for comparison and in case I received a faulty unit. Turned on the old YouTube, searched for "bass test" and let her rip. Old sub performed as expected; turned way up it rumbled and slightly vibrated the couch. Awesome. Then I plugged the new Klipsch in. Thought to myself "considering all the other great reviews, maybe we'll start at half speed." Turn dial to 4 (of 11) and restarted the test video. OMFG, does this thing BUMP!!!!!!! Deep, beautiful, rattling bass that blew the old sub out of the water...at LESS THAN HALF POWER!!! Whole couch rumbled, coasters floated, walls trembled, glass shattered, pets ran, ears started bleeding....no, only joking, but you get the point. This thing is awesome. Had I known what I was missing I would have replaced the old sub a while ago and would have bought this at full price if I'd heard a demo in a store!!! What I'm trying to say is the thing is amazing, don't be afraid of spending some of your hard earned $$ bc you will NOT regret this purchase. Movies take on a whole new life. Video games make you FEEL the action. Music rocks and...it's still only on 4. Maybe when I get some courage and money to fix the drywall I'll turn the dial up some more.

This review is for Klipsch 12 600W. (The 10 300W was good, but I wanted a little more oomph. Best Buy was good about letting me exchange for the larger unit after one week.) Needed some adjustment of the frequency response and gain dials, but once that was done, the sound blended perfectly with my system. I'm keeping both at about the "11 o'clock" position. Physical size is just right, and I really like the automatic on/off feature. I replaced the feet with good quality castors which makes movement of the unit easy. Played Ina-Gada-Da-Vida off the internet the first night. Blew me away!

Klipsch makes excellent products. I have Klipsch speakers all around for 5.2 surround. I use a 12in Klipsch R-12SW in front with right, left, and center Reference speakers, and a 10in R-10SW in the back with my towers. Amazing sound quality that is sonically musical as opposed to thud thud, boom boom. I have this system connected to an Onkyo TX-NR 636 Receiver, and my screen is a Samsung UN65 HU8700 4K UHD 3D TV. My living room is now amazing!!!!!!! The clarity for music and movies is outstanding. The bass comes on and can rattle the whole house. Now I need Klipsch to make Atmos speakers.

Im totally blown away by the sound and power of this Klipsch 10 sub. Live in an apartment, More than enough power. Have a large living room it booms. Can really get the neighbors upset with this little powerhouse. Love my new Sub woofer puts the boom in my movies and cd's. Bought it on sale. Love my Best Buy.

Got this for Christmas this year (the old one died and we'd been without for the better part of 24 months). WOW, is all that I can say. I live in a standalone house and I don't think the house (let alone the neighbors) could tolerate the max capacity of this thing. It is FANTASTIC for the size/price combination. Absolute must have.

In my den I have a audio/video system that has a combination of powered speakers (front, left/right Mackie 825 Studio Monitors, back left/right Acoustic Research bi-amped two way systems; and speakers powered by three 900 watt receivers, 1 Yamaha, 2 Oynkio, Center Channel 2 JBL speakers, Presence 2 Yamaha 2 way speaker cabinets, and Subwoofer a Yamaha 12 inch passive sub. The receiver powering the sub began to have difficulties, so I started to search for a powered sub to replace the Sub system. After extensive listening I decided on this Klipsch 10" active sub. I remember Klipsch from the Hersey and the K-Horn days and at first was skeptical the the product offering was currently of anywhere near the same quality. Well this Subwoofer system blew my mind from the first moment. It is a perfect compliment to the rest of my system, Once everything was balanced I found the sound reproduction very near live for symphonic classical and jazz club jazz. This sub performs well with classic rock, pop, world and alternative as well. Just awesome.

For the past few weeks, I've been looking to upgrade the sound system in my man-cave after getting my wife her Sony x900f TV and Z9F soundbar with rears. They sound amazing. In my room, I had a Yamaha YAS-207 soundbar that is less than a year old. I wanted something else that we could build a small theater room with later. I went to a local Best Buy and came across an open-box Onkyo TX -NR676 for $260. When I saw it, my prayers were answered. I bought the receiver and thought about what speaker will I add to it. I went back and forth with Sony and Klipsch. I knew the sound I got from the Sony speakers at home but I have always been interested in Klipsch. I sat and listened to both and read numerous reviews - customers and experts. I eventually settled for the Klipsch. The sale price helped the decision. At 50% off, they were cheaper than the Sony speakers. I bought the two R-26F towers and this 10" sub. I also did the banana plugs - not a fan of bare wires. Once I got everything together and calibrated the speakers, I was blown away! The sound was amazing! I streamed a couple movies and I enjoyed it so much. I streamed some music (70's soul music) from Pandora and was extremely happy. I played a few games of Madden and I have no complaints. I did have to turned down the sub because my daughters bedroom is on the other side wall from where I sit. She is going to kill me in my sleep if I kept it where it was. I later bought the center channel from Amazon because it was way cheaper. In the near future, I will be buying the bookshelfs and Atmos speakers. I don't have the full effect of what my wife has yet and I think that will put me there. I had been looking a Klipsch for awhile but I could not justify the cost. At 50% off, I could not pass it up.

This is a great compact sub that pumps out a nice clean amount of bass for movie watching and has the power to keep up with what you'd want when listening to music on quality speakers.
