Klipsch KSW-12 Synergy Series 12'' 440Watt Home Theater Subwoofer

Klipsch KSW-12 Synergy Series 12'' 440Watt Home Theater Subwoofer

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Synergy Series KSW-12 subwoofer packs a powerful punch. It uses high-quality materials and the most reliable components to deliver deep, driving bass that intimidates competing designs. Available in 120 or 230 volt versions, this high performance subwoofer perfectly anchors a home theater or two-channel music system. The KSW-12 couples a 12-inch driver to the floor for optimal performance. Its 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. This subwoofer accepts LFE, line-level and speaker level inputs. The classic jet ash vinyl veneer finish creates a deceivingly subtle exterior for its room-rocking capabilities. The KSW-12 ensures that you hear every roar or explosion with the clarity and impact that are the hallmarks of the Klipsch sound.

Darryl Wilkinson, Home Theater, November 2001

Power handling: FTC Rated Power: 105 watts continuous, 22-100Hz @ = 1% THD Dynamic Power*: 440 watts @ = 1% THD

*Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the woofer under normal operating conditions. While the FTC power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis, subwoofers do not rely on that type of power. Instead, the amplifier is called upon to deliver large, short-term peaks of power to be able to support the wide dynamics required by today's digital music and movie formats. In addition to the required FTC power rating, we've provided the dynamic power rating as a better indication of the product's true performance.

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.

Excellent Product.......2007-06-08

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.

Awesome...........2007-04-04

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!

Superior subwoofer for the money.......2007-01-24

Replaced an old Onkyo sub with the Klipsch KSW-12 to mach the rest of the Klipsch speakers i have. A night and day difference compared to the Onkyo,i mostly use it for watching movies and it has more than enough power,shakes the couch from 15 feet away with more power to spare. Awesome sub,A++++++

Great Sound for Home Theater.......2006-12-22

I see some of the ratings talking about the music sound quality compared to less expensive units.

First of all, read the title of the item. It says Home Theater. I love the thundering response on this unit when I'm watching movies.

Second, once you get the settings right on the subwoofer and your amplifier, the sound it great for music too.

Decent and average!.......2006-03-13

I bought this sub based on the reputation of the company; BIG MISTAKE! Yes, the sub gives decent movie bass but it is almost useless with music. The bass produced by this sub is one note, slow and, although it hits fairly hard, it just doesn't hit you in the gut like it should, it is also somewhat boomy and the crossover is very loose. Overall: I PAID TOO MUCH FOR THIS THING and I am stuck with it. Again: it is decent, but that is all!
