About the Klipsch RW5802
Out-of-sight bass from an in-wall Klipsch sub
Out-of-sight bass from an in-wall Klipsch sub
This in-wall subwoofer produces deep, hard-hitting bass for your custom-installed audio system, thanks to a pair of 8" long-throw Ceremetalic™ woofers in a solidly built sealed enclosure. You can paint the grille and bezel to match your decor for a nearly invisible installation. This sub has no built-in amplification, but it's designed to work beautifully with Klipsch's RSA-500 subwoofer amp (sold separately).

Features
In-Wall Passive Sub: The Klipsch RW-5802 is a passive in-wall subwoofer which features dual 8" Cerametallic woofer in a sealed integrated enclosure. The Klipsch RW-5802 offers hard-hitting bass, high power handling, and installation flexibility. The RW-5802 requires the Klipsch RSA-500 amplifier (714RSA500, sold separately).
Note: While the RW-5802 in-wall subwoofer and RSA-500 subwoofer amplifier are sold separately, they must be used in conjunction with one another.
Dual 8" Long-Throw Woofers: The RW-5802 gets its deep-driving bass courtesy of dual 8" long-throw woofers. These exclusive drivers feature stiff, well-damped Cerametallic cones, a specially treated aluminum that has been anodized, or electrochemically transformed into ceramic on both outer surfaces. Second only to diamond in strength, this ceramic compound allows the woofers to move at high speeds without blurring the sound like conventional designs.
Sealed Enclosure: Because it features an MDF baffle with a reinforced composite sealed enclosure, this high-powered, passive module subwoofer provides guaranteed performance and minimizes sound transfer into adjacent rooms.
Spring-Post Terminals: The Klipsch RW-5802 in-wall subwoofer features two spring-post terminals which will accept bare speaker wire (18AWG minimum), pin-connectors, or banana plugs (single/dual). The spring-post speaker terminals are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.
Installation: Fitting standard 2" x 4" construction, the easy-to-install RW-5802 can accommodate any new or existing structure with a minimum 0.5-inch dry wall surface. It requires a cutout of 10.125" (w) x 19.125" (h), with a mounting depth of 3.75". A cardboard template is included to assist you in making the cutout. For new construction, purchase of the IK-502-W installation kit (sold separately) is highly recommended.
Note: Do not mount in ceiling.
Paintable: The RW-5802's rustproof aluminum grille and composite bezel are paintable, so you can match any decor.
