Product Description
Both audiophiles and videophiles agree, to get the most from today's digital soundtracks and music recordings, you need a quality powered subwoofer to accurately reproduce the low bass information.

For these reasons, Klipsch is the brand of choice among true music and movie lovers. Ground-shaking bass, soul-stirring performance, new design and new features provide a subwoofer guaranteed to please the most demanding listener. If you're looking for room-shaking bass, this is definitely the ticket!

Amazon.com Product Description
REVIEW: Complete a powerful home theater system with the deep, driving bass of the Klipsch KSW-12 powered subwoofer--perfect for combing with high-performance Klipsch Synergy Series surround sound configurations. It couples a 12-inch driver to the floor for optimal performance. This subwoofer's high-output, down-firing design "grips" the air and fills a room with low frequency energy that's heard and felt with undetectable distortion. The built-in discrete MOSFET amplifier and 12-inch fiber-composite woofer are as efficient as they are reliable. It provides 105 watts of FTC-rated continuous power, and it has a dynamic power rating of 440 watts. (Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the woofer under normal operating conditions.)

The woofer is composed of a Santoprene rubber surround with a fiber composite cone which enables Klipsch subwoofers to deliver on their promise of extended bass response and maximum reliability. This subwoofer accepts LFE, line-level, and speaker level inputs, making it easy to add to the Quintet Microsystem, the Synergy System 6, or any other Klipsch inspired arrangement. The KSW-12's jet ash veneer vinyl finish creates a deceivingly subtle exterior for its earthshaking sound capabilities.

5 out of 5 stars Border line high end sub for the penny penching consumer.   August 3, 2008
I purchased two of these home subwoofers and they deliver bass that beats many other subs on the market at this price. For $300 dollars you can be assured that you are definitely getting more than you have paid for. Klipsh has always delivered a high quality of sound for their customers and now myself. I watch many movies, play many video games and listen to vast amounts of music. By my experience with this product it is definitely a good investment to impress your family, visitors, and most importantly, yourself. I have never had a problem with the off beat of music. The bass has hit everytime it should have. I would recommend this product to anyone who can afford the very low $300 price.


4 out of 5 stars Know what you are buying   February 6, 2008
This model is a few years old. The current model is the SUB-12 which is priced quite a bit higher. Klipsch calls this model a Classic Synergy. I bought this one and saved the money and it is meeting my needs perfectly, but you should know what you are buying before you order one.


2 out of 5 stars subwoofer died on me   January 4, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased this sub 2 years ago. It was a very large investment (nearly $500 at the time) for a subwoofer. Approx 2 months ago, it died. Now i'm back to using the old sub that i was using prior to buying this and not really missing this $500 sub as much as I though I would. I don't think I would invest this much in a sub again as the cheaper subs sound reasonable for a mid-fi system.

I have Klipsch surround speakers in my family room and since it is a large room, I wanted a 12" subwoofer. I looked at and listened to several that were quite a bit more expensive. I am no audiophile, but to me the Klipsch sounded just as good as the more expensive ones. It made a tremendous difference in my sound. The only issue I have had is the size. It is so large I can't hide it in a cabinet or anything. But I would have had that problem with any 12" unit.

If anything I wish this didn't work so well. My husband loves to turn it up and make our house vibrate. I can't believe something so small makes such a BIG sound!
