window rattler
terry from Saucier on 1/1/2022
Rated 5 out of 5 stars window rattler. Verified Purchase | Posted 4 days ago. Owned for 1 month when reviewed. all i would like to is WOW!!! what a big sound improvement this makes if you want to rock and rattle picture frames on the walls and windows like you are in the movie scene it self this one will do it. i live in a house on a solid foundation and it puts you in the scene with the power of theater sound with out going there . but now i do have to say i keep my old sub to so i have two subs hooked up to my system but even with the old sub turned off this one rocks it all enough so much enjoyment .

Good Subwoofer for bass
Crutchfield customer from Humboldt, TN on 12/12/2021

This is my second Klipsch sub. This one is next to my main speakers, while my other Klipsch is on the side towards the rear. This is an awesome sub, and both together just shakes my living room with clear heart pounding bass. Thanks Crutchfield, you guys are great with service and knowledge

Absolutely amazing
Crutchfield customer from Mission, TX on 4/2/2021
This subwoofer is just amazing. I use this subwoofer in a small 11x8 office, and for this application this speaker is absolute overkill, but boy is it fun. This thing is huge and barely fits under my desk, but the size shows its value in its performance. I use it mainly for music and I just absolutely love the amount of bass it is capable of. I also like the controls to adjust the levels of bass for when you don't want to have the windows raddle. Have nothing negative to say about this subwoofer and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for something in this price range.
Pros: Great built quality Aesthetically pleasing Amazing sound
Cons: Nothing

A whole new dimension of sound
Crutchfield customer from Columbia, MD on 3/25/2021
I've never had a subwoofer before this one. I always thought my old Infinity RS6000s handles base pretty well, and they do, but when I got a new pre-amp that had a sub output, I became curious, and then I caught this model on sale. Getting it set up and tuned to my system and environment was a snap, and I've been blown away by the additional dimension this sub adds to the music. I have the filter set at about 75Hz, and that provides just the right base complement for the Infinity's low end. I like the auto on/off mode. This is a great subwoofer.

Hudson from ELKTON, MD on 1/20/2021
So far so good. These subwoofers are very efficient so be sure to set your speaker to match the balance setting on your surround amp or receiver. You may find you have to reduce the subwoofer volume first before you balance the system using a speaker auto-calibration.

Big boy
Nick from Tulsa, OK on 1/7/2021
The average rating for this is 5 so that ought to tell you something. I have a small living room so I was pretty worried about how big it was (I like bass so not THAT worried.) When I got it set up it didn't sound like I expected. I went on for a couple days playing music and such never sounding perfect it finally happened. After the break in period this thing bangs. If you're reading this wondering if if you need this...just pull the trigger. This sub rocks. I have a crawl space house and when I crank it I can feel my floor vibrate.

Nice for the price
Crutchfield customer from New Smyrna, FL on 1/4/2021
The only reason for the four star is because right out of the box, one of the subs had a bad amp. I bought two of these, one was perfect and the other had that issue. Now don't get me wrong, I contacted Crutchfield and they sent a new amp under warranty, easy plug and play swap, sent the old one in and no charges on my end. The subs hit very well, especially within their price point. For their price, I think the subs are awesome. In the future I will be upgrading to the premier subs as the quality is much better, obviously with a much higher price tag. But for now, these are great.
Pros: Nice for my configuration Hit well, pretty solid
Cons: Just that amp, but corrected by Crutchfield

Bob from Sarasota, FL on 12/18/2020
Once hooked up, broken in, and adjusted, my oh my! This sub goes deep and will shake the window panes and the very house itself if you let it. I have the phase at 0, the crossover at about 50, and the gain at less than half. There's plenty left. If you need big sound bass, I can highly recommend the R-120SW.

Nice Sub
Crutchfield customer from West Chester, PA on 12/15/2020
Nice sub at the right price. Replaces an old Infinity sub that the amp failed after 12 years. Bass is tight and well defined. Played different types of music and some action movies to fine tune to my preferences. Happy with the sub and as always Crutchfield is a pleasure to do business with.
Pros: Getting it from Crutchfield! Others had it for a little less but, Critchfield's lifetime support makes all the difference. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Love this sub-woofer. Very responsive and sounds terrific! Would buy again.
Pros: Love it. Nothing bad to say about it.
Cons: I was led to believe that this was a 50% off product. After I purchased I found it at several other places for less cost that Crutchfield. Please don't say that something is 50% off, when it is everyone else's regular price. I went ahead and bought from you anyway due to the recommendation time spent with the salesman, who was very good.

Unbelievable sound
Crutchfield customer from Arlington, VA on 12/10/2020
I already had the 15" big brother of this sub when I bought this. So I knew the sound quality would be fantastic (and that it was massive overkill for where I was putting it; but it was such a good sale at the time that it was only a few dollars more than the sub I'd seen suggested for what I needed). Anyway, it has considerably exceeded my expectations for sound. My only problem is how physically big it is, but that was my own stupidity, as I knew the space where I wanted it wasn't huge. So I have no reservations about recommending it.

Lots of boom for the buck
Crutchfield customer from Wayne, NJ on 12/6/2020
I bought this as a "scratch and dent" , but this is in perfect shape. I love klipsch speakers, and this sub is no exception. Very easy to hook up to my sonos amp that was also purchased from Crutchfield. I added this to give my B&W speakers a little boost; and oh my , does it ever. I have the gain set very low so as not to interfere with the music as you don't want the bass to overpower your listening experience. This klipsch sounds terrific , adding the extra punch to your music. And with 2 day shipping, I couldn't be happier. By the way , Crutchfield was voted the # one retailer on consumers reports ( I do not work for crutchfield ) just a happy customer.
Pros: Klipsch quality and sound
Cons: None that come to mind

Phenomenal!!!
Crutchfield customer from Flower Mound, TX on 12/2/2020
This powered sub by Klipsch is just what my 5.1 system was missing. I have a medium sized living room set up, and this sub is most definitely more than enough. It is hooked up through an Onkyo TX-NR686, paired up with Polk TAi400 front mains, a Polk CS10 center channel and Polk Atrium 5 surrounds. The Kilpsch sub will overpower the rest unless turned down. Be certain to secure any small items or picture frames that may rattle in use, or things may start jumping off of shelves. I highly recommend this sub. It makes movies come to life. Lightning on screen and explosions in a movie really come to life. Pop in your favorite movie and sit back with some popcorn and a few of your friends. No reason to ever leave the house to brave the theater again. Stream a flick and kick back in your comfy pjs!
Pros: Heavy bass you can feel in your soul. This thing seriously thumps, and you can dial in the settings to match your set up. Great addition to a surround set up and compliments your favorite music as well.
Cons: Might upset your wife if you crank it up too late! ??

Low notes are musical. Tried others and this Klipsch compares to subs costing hundreds more. A small green light on the front lets you know when it's active. No more searching in back to see if it's on! The light is small and is not intrusive, even in a dark home theatre.

Crutchfield staff was once again extremely knowledgeable, professional & friendly. I made the purchase with total confidence. The R-120SW arrived in 2 days, as promised, in perfect condition. The setup was simple...ran the RCA cable from my Klipsch Fives, adjusted the settings as suggested, made a couple adjustments after listening to a variety of music & a movie....simple! The sub-woofer made a significant difference listening to music & movies alike. My Fives are in bookcases & are placed a little higher than I would have liked, but, I didn't have any other option. The sub balances the sound, making it seems more natural & easily fills a fairly large space...open floorplan including living room, kitchen, dining room & foyer! This sub could easily handle a larger space! Completely satisfied!
Pros: Powerful, well built
Cons: None

Great addition to my home theater
Richard from KANNAPOLIS, NC on 11/28/2020
This was a great addition to really boost my home theater system to a level I was looking for. TV shows and music all sound great and very natural. Action movies will rock the house and I love it!! It took me a couple of months to get it tuned in where it wasn't over bearing as it has a lot of power. I still occasionally have to tune it down a little bit as some movie tracks are a little much but easy enough to do. I have a Yamaha RX-V673 receiver and Polk Audio speakers and this Subwoofer paired seamlessly with them.
Pros: Easy to hook Great low end
Cons: None so far

Sublime!
Crutchfield customer from Lumberport, WV on 11/26/2020
My personal perspective is that this speaker fulfills my needs. It is the heartbeat of my Heresy iii speakers. I'm not an audiophile but I do appreciate good sound and the sub works just fine when properly set up and compliments the Heresy speakers really well. I deliberated between sealed or ported and have no regrets about my decision. I like the sub very much. My musical tastes run from Weather Report to Lucinda Williams and the sub does not disappoint.

Outstanding bass and quality for price
Crutchfield customer from Glen Ellyn, IL on 11/24/2020
Great subwoofer and hard to beat for the price. Not necessarily high on features but if you are looking to pump up bass on movies and have the open space room to accommodate big bass this is an excellent choice. Klipsch rarely disappoints and this is a nice compliment to any mid level system. I would not recommend for music in a small space, but if you are accustomed to big booming bass delivered in todays headphones and car audio, you will like the added depth in your music. Controls allow you to dial up and down output to what sounds good for you, but without automatic calibration in your system, it will take some playing with. Not a bad thing if you like to tweak your sound. Exceeded my expectation.

After taping the doors shut on my desk and removing everything that rattled, it performs better than I expected. I would recommend this speaker for a home small/medium size home theater.
Pros: Just Awesome performance!

Klipsch Reference R-120SW
Crutchfield customer from Albuquerque, NM on 9/16/2020
Paired the R-120SW with my Klipsch R-51PMs and it took the already brilliant sound to a new level! This was my first "open box" purchase from Crutchfield, and could not even tell if the sub had been removed from the plastic bag underneath the styrofoam packaging inserts. Comes with only the power cord; requires separate purchase of subwoofer cable.
Pros: Incredible sound, well built.
Cons: No subwoofer cable

Clean Bass at All Volumes
Crutchfield customer from Des Moines, IA on 9/6/2020
The cabinet is beefy and it looks great paired with the rest of my RP series speakers. Gain seems pretty linear, so it works well at the lower volumes that I use a lot, and when I push the volume it keeps a consistent clean sound that I find more than adequate for anything in this price range.
Pros: Simple, Standard Setup and Operation. Works Well at All Volumes.
Cons:

Tom
Crutchfield customer from South Portland, ME on 8/30/2020
This Bass will blow the pictures off the wall if you need the volume. Bass is a nice sound not to thump but a smooth bass sound. Good adjustments for matching other speakers in my system. Can be controlled by my Receiver Sony 1080. In movies it adds that low rumble missing from tower speakers. Has rubber legs to keep off floor. Ported so can place in different locations in room to get best sound.
Pros: High volume output but great sound at low levels. Can control with Receiver. Clean bass sound. Light on face to show its on. Has Auto setting.
Cons: Powerful so best in large room may only needed 10" in my set up

Great performing and looking sub
Crutchfield customer from Richmond, KY on 8/15/2020
Terrific sub. Not the lowest or most powerful, but very clean with great thump within its capability. Have this paired with a set of Kanto YU6 bookshelf speakers in the master bedroom. An excellent setup for this space, and sounds WAY better than any 2.1 soundbar I've heard. Fantastic for movies/TV, and even better with music. And this sub is simply gorgeous to look at with the grill off. Crutchfield customer service is top notch.

Excellent Product
Crutchfield customer from Dayton, OH on 8/1/2020
This is the final piece in my 4 piece set up. Replaced a 20 year Polk sub and man what a difference. Matched up with RP-5000F towers and a RP-500F center channel the sound and transition of bass from tower to sub are seamless. Very pleased with my Klipsch setup. As always Crutchfield and their staff are the best to work with. Thank you!
Pros: Great sound enhancement
Cons: none

Bass for your home theater
Crutchfield customer from Fresno, CA on 7/26/2020
I use this subwoofer in my mini home theater. This is a multi sub room I have BIC F12 and a monoprice 8" with these subs my room has earth shaking bass. This sub does requires break in and during the break in keep the bass to minimum. I would recommend this budget priced sub.
Pros: Beatiful looking good low frequency response.
Cons: No LFE channel.

Not for music
Yoram from Greenville, MI on 7/20/2020
We bought this in an attempt to "complete" our stereo system which consists of 2 pairs of Paradigm Atom bookshelf speakers and a Yamaha RS700 receiver, used primarily for streaming contemporary Jazz, rock, soul and classical from Pandora and Spotify Premium. This setup sounds quite nice but needed help in the lower ranges to balance the sound quality. This subwoofer did a very poor job and is being sent back. The bass can be powerful and reach very low frequencies but is muddy, distorted and not tight, more reminiscent of what you hear when a thumping car or truck pulls up alongside you at the lights and vibrates your windows and seat. Spent several hours trying to systematically tune it to our room, system and music -- adjusting gain, crossover frequency and phase, varying the location and orientation in the room, and going through a wide selection of our bass "yardstick" tracks. Nothing worked -- this sub is not suitable for quality music reproduction. There was absolutely no way to get it to blend seamlessly with the rest of the system to achieve the natural sound of very good full range speakers. It may be fine for dramatic sound effects in a home theater system but that is not what we need. However, the good folks at Crutchfield helped us replace it with an SVS PB-1000 which was an absolute revelation and transformation -- incredible sound quality and natural blending with our system at the same list price.
Pros:
Cons: High distortion, not tight, poor music fidelity. Not able to use in non-powered mode (which could be a potential improvement since I suspect the amp is the culprit more than the speaker).

Crutchfield customer from Thomasville, GA on 5/26/2020
WOW, Just finished purchasing new theater speaker package and planned to use 20 year old Sub "thinking" it was still adequate. After installation I was disappointed with speaker selection and conversed with Eddie about exchanging the package.He suggested that I try a new Sub as Crutchfield's records indicated that the Sub was purchased in 1998. What a difference! This unit is fantastic.

Scott from Lehi, UT on 5/5/2020
Great subwoofer. I put this in our just finished basement and paired it with a bunch of Polk in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and I'm loving it. This fills the room with bass, looks sharp and hits hard. The first time one of the kids was playing an FPS game I couldn't believe how solid and sharp it made the shots sound. Movies and music sound great as well and the amount of bass is awesome. The controls are good, nice flexibility.
Pros: Great sound, tight bass, nice looks.
Cons: None so far.

Klipsch R-120
Patrick from HERTFORD, NC on 4/23/2020
Bought this sub with the Klipsch 8" tower speakers, center channel, and rear surround sound speakers with an Onkyo receiver. At first i was a little disappointed with the quality and volume of the sub. I moved my system from that large room to a smaller room and purchased a second sub in the process. THAT was a "mistake". I discovered that during my initial setup with my receiver I had it on an incorrect setting resulting in poor sound quality in the sub. MAN,when I reinstalled everything and got it right, the sound quality is a night and difference. Then with the second sub its actually ridiculous and I've been into audio systems since I was 14 (I'm 46 now). I have to leave both subs volumes on 2 (out of 10). Sometimes I'll turn it up a little but I'll always end up turning it back down. It's just too much for everyday listening. Certain blue-ray movies I may bump it up like, for example, the last Godzilla movie. It just sounded incredible. So, if you're in the market for a sub, this is the ONE to get (because you probably don't need two).
Pros: Deep Bass Loud
Cons: None

Good sub
Jonathan from Martinsville on 4/23/2020
Love the sub, I wanted some low end and this does the trick! I don't have the greatest acoustic room but it still adds that much wanted bass and it's accurate not muddy or sloppy . For the price I don't think you can go wrong! The sub is pretty big, and it seems very solid. I am a fan of klipsch, I have this and the speakers on an Onkyo 747 think it's discontinued. Crutchfield is awesome, were willing to help and the shipping was here in about 2 days. They answered all my questions and were very nice. Thanks Crutchfield!!

solid sub for a good price
Crutchfield customer from Aston, PA on 4/13/2020
I've only had this installed a week but so far I love it. Currently I have definitive technology 9020 towers with center and tops for atmos. Powered by a denon receiver. Install was simple and it shook the house from the first thing I played. Now I'm working on adjusting the levels to be just right. Would recommend to anybody looking to improve their home theater system without breaking the bank.

3 minute thump
Crutchfield customer from Shippensburg, PA on 3/18/2020
Full disclosre, I am a Klipsch fan and the powered 12 inch subwoofer complimented my system greatly. Easy to hookup in 3 minutes and my house was thumping! I recommend spending the extra to get the no frills powered amp
Pros: Adjustable gain button on back for easy adjusting to your existing speakers
Cons: Instructions could have been written a bit simpler for dummies on adjusting gain and phase.

Nice little sub
Crutchfield customer from Fallbrook, CA on 2/11/2020
Great amp for the money. Simple to set-up and use. I bought mine to replace a 12" Velodyne Sub that decided to quit after about 18 years. Plenty of bottom end for the entire garage (about 600 sq ft) to compliment four Def Tech in-walls. Not too big, not too heavy. The cabinet finish isn't quite as stellar as my SVS subs in the house but it's not bad for what it is (basically a matte wood grain). Overall I'm very happy with the sub and recommend it to those looking for a good 12" sub with plenty of power that doesn't break the bank.
Pros: Not too big, not too heavy, plenty of power, easy set-up, not overly expensive
Cons: A trigger input (in addition to the existing auto-on) would be a nice feature

Crutchfield customer from Oakland, MD on 1/26/2020
I bought this to replace a failed polk pro down facing powered. I had two Klipsch Heresy speakers so I thought I stay in the quality that I've come expect from them. I've only had them set up for about two weeks. The quality of the cabinet is solid. I'm happy with the purchase. Obviously the powered SW adds a lot. I still have very enjoyable music without it. However, when you start getting into "bass-heavy" music or any movies with a lot of bass register, that is when you really appreciate it. My go-to test movie is Master and Commander. When the broadsides are fired and you develop shell-shock, then you know the SW is adding a lot.

Paired perfectly with my Polk TSi300 fronts and Polk CSi A4 center speakers. I was nervous how it would color the low end rolloff with the Polk Audio components. No worries here at all anymore. Its transparent when it needs to and front and center when it's supposed to. Couldnt be more happier with the purchase. Located in a corner firing left to right.
Pros: Love the auto power feature. Also love that there is only a volume and low pass control. 2 controls - that it!

I've had this for about 6 months and have it paired with Klipsch RP8000F, 404c center and 4 BA In wall surround Speakers. 800 square foot room with 20 ft vaulted ceilings and it sounds great! We have a lot of parties with dance music up loud and everyone comments on it. We also have a sound town karaoke system connected and love the way that sounds too. I used the audessy set up on my Denon avr2400H which sounded great for movies, but was not enough base for music. I recommend using the manual settings on your receiver and on the sub to get it just right. Very happy with my Klipsch purchases (especially if you pick them up on the periodic specials they run. Can't beat Crutchfield for service and support as well. I love that I can call and just ask for advice from knowledgeable friendly people without being pressured to purchase something.

Klipsch Varieties of Wireless of Connections
Crutchfield customer from Evans, GA on 12/16/2019
Probably a good product since I already have 2 other Klipsch subs. I have a 112 and a 10. All of them have different capabilities to connect to the amp wirelessly.One has $130 add on box, one came with a box and built in on the sub, and the last I just got has nothing. I didn't see this in the advertising. Good thing Christmas allows lower prices to clean old tech out of the warehouse.
Pros: Good sound, I hope when it is connected.
Cons: I should have called and asked questions rather than just ordering online.

Lots of bass
Crutchfield customer from Phoenix, AZ on 12/15/2019
I have to preface this review that I have only had Velodyne subs in the past. With that said this sub is for a workout room. It has plenty of low end bass but seems to have mostly a one note sound. It also is quite huge when compared to my Velodyne. Again it got a lot of low end bass.
Pros: Great value, almost all of the option of high end subs.
Cons: Size & no remote.

Cuando me llegó lo he estado probando con diferentes películas que producen mucho sonido como: Air Force One, Angel Has Fallen, Rambo: Last Blood, The Irishman, entre otros. Y conciertos de buena música. Y de todo lo que he escuchado estoy satisfecho con el sonido. Así que en mi inicio con la marca Kirsch en la selección del subwoofer R-120SW mi clasificación es 5.Veremos qué sucede con el tiempo.

Klipsch Reference R-120SW
Ron from Fresno CA on 11/24/2019
This is a great value for $250. The cabinet faux vinyl finish isn't the best, but is good enough to look nice from 5ft away. It has surprisingly good bass output sound once you find your best position for it in you room and run your room correction DSP in your home theater receiver. The weight of the subwoofer makes it fairly easy to move around. That's a plus since I purchased this for a friend with knee problems, and it fit into her budget well.
Pros: Price (on sale), good output and decent bass extension, and it's light weight for a 12" subwoofer.
Cons: The vinyl finish could be better, but it's acceptable. No wireless transmitter hook up.

This is my second Klipsch R-120SW!!
Crutchfield customer from N Chesterfld, VA on 11/20/2019
This is actually my second Klipsch R-120SW in my home theater system. I bought one earlier this year when they were on sale. I was blown away with how much solid, low end that it added to my system. I'm a typical guy who loves action flicks and I love to hear that thunderous low rumble that comes with those kinds of soundtracks. When I hooked the first one up to my nearly new AV receiver, I couldn't help but notice that I had two subwoofer outputs. As the months went by, that second unused subwoofer output kept beckoning to me and whispering in my ear "it would sound twice as good with a second subwoofer in the system". So, earlier this month, they put the R-120SW on sale again........so, I snatched up another one. With two of these incredible subwoofers in my home theater system, the sound is truly magnificent.......at least to me. All of my speakers are Klipsch and I am always impressed with the quality of their speakers. These things are tight and low. You can feel it right in your chest. I'm very happy with my purchase.

My second Klipsch R-120SW
JOHN from SAINT JAMES, NY on 11/17/2019
Perfect. Surprising what you miss with 1 sub. Calibrating 2 individual subs improves large and subtle booms from pounds and the other way around. As always - NO RETAILER -NONE- offer the level of support as Crutchfield
Pros: Quality, and performance at amazing value
Cons: non

There's a reason the amp only has a two year warranty
Bob from Los Angeles on 9/1/2019
These subs are priced decently and sound very good. But the amps dependably fail. Dependably. Look at the warranty - five years on the driver but only two years on the amp. If you're happy with buying a sub that lasts two years, Klipsch is the manufacturer for you. Note that a lot of the five star reviews here are from satisfied customers but who have owned the sub for a relatively short time. After several failures, I've learned my lesson.
Pros: Works well, sounds great as long as the amp doesn't fail
Cons: The amp fails. All Klipsch subwoofer amps fail, usually shortly after the warranty is over. Search the Internet, find thousands of examples of this.

More boom for the buck
Crutchfield customer from Normandy Park, WA on 5/9/2019
When I assembled my system, I kind of overkilled it for the room size, so I dialed it back a notch on everything except the subwoofers. I'd read that this was the one to get, and for only $10 more, it was a no-brainer. Plenty of power for a midsize room. Superb quality at the perfect price point. I should have done this many years ago.
Pros: All the bass you need for only $10 more than the next smaller speaker.
Cons: Slightly confusing that it has two inputs.

Extremely powerful sub
Crutchfield customer from San Antonio, TX on 4/8/2019
Extremely powerful sub. Has a good punch and not muddy sound like my Polk PSW110. My room is 20 feet x 30 feet upstairs. You feel the floor vibrate at about 1/3rd power. I think I over did it with this piece of equipment. Should I return it for their smaller 10" wireless sub? ...nah.
Pros: Plenty of reserve power, attractive without grill on, good solid punch on bass notes, if you want to rattle the walls of your room this is your sub
Cons: Could be too strong for your needs...on some music I have to turn down gain to below 1/8th so not to drown out the music.

Awesome sub
Paul from ELIZABETH CITY, NC on 3/22/2019
Just received today and love it. Connected to existing Polk home theater 650w 5.1 that was missing the .1 system. What a difference. Love the deep, hard hitting base.
Pros: Awesome, hard hitting base. Self powered 400w, adjustable on rear of speaker
Cons: Only power cable included...?

Didn't know what I was missing....
Roger from California on 3/4/2019
All I can say is "WOW!" I added this sub woofer to my system ( I already have a 10" Klipsch sub. ) It's a night and day difference. Thanks to the great team at Crutchfield who answered my questions and concerns to adding a different size sub woofer. Movies are crazy good and it now fills the void when playing music, you can really hear the bass! Love, love it, love it! Did I say I loved it?
Pros: What a difference adding a second sub woofer makes! Crutchfield customer service - Excellent! Klipsch speakers - Great value, great sound!
Cons: Should have done this a long time ago!

Too boomy for music, but serviceable for movies.
Crutchfield customer from Charleston, WV on 3/2/2019
If you're looking for tight, punchy bass for your music then you might want to look elsewhere. Explosions and other low frequency effects are powerful and boomy, though. But since I primarily listen to music, the overly buzzy sound detracts from the listening experience. The bass is not as tight or clean as even the entry level JL Audio 10" sub in my truck. One additional thing that I will add is that I bought it when it was nearly 50% off. I don't think that I would have been happy to pay full retail.

Klipsch Reference R-120SW
Matthew from Canton, ME on 2/15/2019
I've had this sub installed for two months now and know I've got my money's worth. Im setup with a Denon X2400H, Klipsch G_28 speakers mains and Klipsch CDT-2650 surrounds. I bought the R-120sw on special to stay in budget and it will rattle your core. It creates a massive rumble and presence to fill the low end in any movie. Push it loud and it can vibrate anything off a shelf. It's not without flaws. Real punchy bass sequences in music can leave you wanting. This sub has a noticeable dropoff in volume on ultra low frequencies too. For the money though, I can't complain. I think I would have to spend 3-4X more on a sub to fill in what I'm missing in tightness and lowest end.
Pros: Huge value and volume
Cons: Could hit harder and cleaner with music.

Great Option
Crutchfield customer from Vicksburg, MS on 2/14/2019
I bought this to compliment by new Klipsch RP-600M bookshelf speakers because I felt that they lacked the proper amount of bass to provide a balance sound in my room of choice. For the price it is a great buy! I gave it 4 stars because the responsiveness and depth isn't the best, but again for the price this will be hard to beat.
Pros: Price Setup
Cons: Lacks punchy responsiveness.

Klipsch R-120SW
Crutchfield customer from Rigby, ID on 2/2/2019
I have been a long time Klipsch follower and needed an upgrade from my Def-Tech sub (13 years old). I thought I would give this sub a try based on customer reviews and price. I have this in a home theatre setting paired with ELAC Debut 2.0 6.2 front speakers, Klipsch RC-42 surround speakers and RC-25 center speaker. The reviews were right on target. This thing is amazing with deep lows (not to muddy) and lots of punch for those action packed movies. Also, it pairs well with the ELAC's in a 2.1 setting listening to about any music type. I was happy I went to crutchfield for my purchase, it was nice talking to a real person who understands the hi-fi business. They answered all of my questions and made the purchase seamless. Don't hesitate to purchase this sub, you will not be disappointed.

Deep, room filling, and powerful!
Crutchfield customer from Winter Garden, FL on 1/29/2019
This subwoofer is phenomenal! It produces deep room filling bass. It also has the punch needed to create that 4th dimension in a home theater. If you want bass you can feel from a quality manufacturer at a great price, this is the one!

Matthew from Bend, OR on 1/27/2019
A little bigger than I imagined it would be, and WOW the sound is impressive. Holy cow. Great subwoofer, and purchased for a good price at Crutchfield.
Pros: Has the potential to shake the neighbor's house
Cons: The actual size of the subwoofer is little big for my living room. Worth it, though.

Great clean bass
Crutchfield customer from Faribault, MN on 1/27/2019
I bought this subwoofer for my main system as a second 12 inch subwoofer I have had another make that was doing a good job. However, this Klipsch is much cleaner, and really can deliver the bass! I can crank it up a bit and it vibrates my recliner, and the floor! This is my second Klipsch subwoofer, I have a 10 inch along with a pair of 160m bookshelf speakers in the bedroom. Of course Crutchfield gave me 2 day shipping and I have bought several items from them, with very good service. Highly recommended!
Pros: powerful and clean sound
Cons: none so far

Far exceede my expectations!
Russell from Cleveland, OH on 1/19/2019
You know, I've been waiting to get a Klipsch subwoofer to complete my Klipsch system. My biggest fear was getting a 12 inch that wouldn't overpower everything. So often, these larger woofers have rumble, but not that well defined bass I've been looking for. When I hooked up this woofer, was I in for a pleasant surprise! It is everything I've been looking for and more! Well defined bass, without distortion, with enough [power to bring down the house if you want. You can tailor the volume to suit your musical tastes be it rock, jazz or symphony. Your music will take on a whole new sound when you add this sub. I love the adjustability of the cutoff frequencies. Found 80hrz to be my sweet spot! But where it really shines are the movies. I didn't know what I was missing with my older off brand sub. The bass goes right through you at any listening level! It's what I've been looking for. No slop whatsoever! Just clean, punctuating Bass. Thanks to my advisor Peyton for all his help. GET THIS BASS! You won't be sorry.
Pros: Well defined, solid bass sound! Durable, and well constructed.
Cons: A bit Heavy

Powerful but clear
denes from Germantown, NY on 1/16/2019
Awesome series Klipsch made. I was leary of buying speakers from these guys. I thought this was their cheap money makers to fill the bank up while they focus more fancier speakers. I was wrong. I got this sub, with a pair of R820F, and R51M desktops. I play classic rock/ 80's metal and this makes the low bass guitar and drums come up with the vocals. I used to not like heavy subwoofer before I got this one! She doesn't like to idle though at moderate levels. I have to go and adjust the levels from time to time. Wish my amplifier had tunable subwoofer outs, so I ould do it from a remote. Love the adjustable cutoff feature. I keep it about 1/3 from all the way counter clockwise.
Pros: Great sound without the sloppy thud.....
Cons: Big motors want to run hard.....

Full Sound everywhere
George Avery from Edmond, OK on 1/7/2019
I have a 60x60 building to house my motor coach and hobby shop. I am finishing the interior myself so having a sound system now is nice. Eight JBC Control 65 speakers hang from the ceiling. I added two Klipsch R-120W subwoofers; one on the north wall and one on the east wall. No matter where you walk in the building you can't tell where the sound and bass is coming from. I don't need a lot of volume to get a full sound. Outstanding!
Pros: Look and sound great. Takes a little time to make the final adjustments but for my situation the bass is perfect.
Cons: None

Klipsch Reference R-120SW
Guy from Muskego, WI on 1/4/2019
After 20 years of listening to Infinity Kappa 8's I have spent the last year replacing everything. New Bryston A2 speakers, Emotive XPA Gen 3 amp, NAD 165bee pre-amp, NAD 546bee CD player, and my trusty Thorens TD160 turntable. The sound is fantastic but none of that body slamming base. This 12" beast came today, 15 minute hook up with dialing it in. Room acoustics is a major issue but I was lucky. Already had my spot for the sub picked out and no problem. This is my basement, carpeted concrete and plenty of stuff on the walls to make it work. Used the sub woofer out on the pre amp. Easy to set up perfectly. Room is 24 x 24, speakers 10' apart, couch 10' back.
Pros: Everything

Jason from Norristown, PA on 12/26/2018
I upgraded an old Kenwood 8" sub to this unit, to pair with my Onkyo RZ-620 receiver. I originally considered the Klipsch R-10SW, but this 12" sub was on sale for a song so I figured, what the heck - I'll spend the extra $70 and get another 2 inches. This unit is incredibly powerful for my 15 x 18 foot family room (which opens up to the kitchen, so effectively double that square footage). In fact, it is so powerful that I've had to set it down to slightly less than half volume. The bass is full and much deeper than the 8" Kenwood was capable of achieving. Highly recommended! I've set the older Kenwood sub in another corner of the room and I'm approaching that true cinema experience.

Pleasing room filling base
Jeff from Dubois, WY on 12/26/2018
I can not believe what a difference this Klipsch R-210SW did for my sound system. A night and day differnce from my Polk PSW-111 which actually came free with my polk system. This added room filling clean base and depth to both music and movies. My partner hates the base on the old Polk that thumped like a boom box. This speaker is added value to an already great system. This was the missing link to my system! I may be a Klipsch fan after this one.
Pros: Rich in sound quality Easy set up
Cons: None
