  • if you are looking for a 12 incher with awesome bass for Movies AND Music
Color: Black Style: Subwoofer only
In short, if you are looking for a 12 incher with awesome bass for Movies AND Music, this one will not disappoint. It digs deep, and sounds disciplined and punchy. BUT placement is also key - if you can't run 2 subwoofers, you'll want to experiment. On its own in a corner, I struggled to render out some of the "boominess" in the very low notes (probably 40 hz or lower). That would be true of any single subwoofer in this location. That is also less of an issue if you have a receiver that can help EQ your "room modes". Also this is less of an issue if can place it closer to the center of a wall - the sweet spot is along that wall somewhere but my central location isn't available. I am running mine alongside a Pioneer 8 inch, 50 watt subwoofer in the opposing corner - this helps tremendously in smoothing out the response overall to one I am very satisfied with so far. When it comes to subwoofers, there is no replacement for displacement - bigger is usually better. But you've got to consider room size, and placement as well as that can make all the difference. I would likely not have purchased this sub if not for a favorable review of the 15 inch model in this line that I read online. It sounds like, and probably is, capable of "flat" response down to at least 24 hz as advertised and also capable of high SPL relative to competing products. As far as 12-inch subwoofers go, I am not sure you can really do a heckuva lot better than this for the $519 I paid. Not to knock the obvious reply - which is that "Internet Direct" companies are better and offer more performance per dollar, but when I attempted to buy from an "Internet Direct" maker of subwoofers it fell through for truly dumb reasons - making me wonder about the professionalism and customer-friendliness of some of these companies. I realized that giving up a few decibels and saving over $100 on a Klipsch was fine as even with a few less features and less max volume I'd still likely have more power than I needed. Also, this thing is BIG. Subwoofers like the Klipsch that can play back 114 dB near-field won't struggle to give you very loud levels of bass at relatively long distance, and particularly if you sit close to a wall. You can always place the sub near your seat, by the way, which I might try sometime. That's something you might not realize shopping Internet-Direct companies - they get some of that performance edge so often noted through sheer size - and though I measured my space before hand, I wasn't prepared for the big box that eventually showed up. In hindsight I am glad the Internet-Direct company turned out to be, for lack of a better term - incompetent. When I first placed the sub, the 50-lb weight didn't seem particularly burdensome, but I was surprised that it did not come with spikes for carpet, and had rubber pads instead of "feet". I could slide it around easily on carpet. It doesn't seem to "walk" across the floor when I crank it however. The box is attractive with its rounded corners and metal-like finish. The bottom seems to be metal. The driver has a serious look as well - a thick rubber surround, a metallic cone, and a large slot-vent. It seems to be a solid enclosure but I think I've personally built heavier enclosures with smaller drivers, so I assume that this is 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch mdf type wood - possibly not braced internally. I doubt the driver is the absolutely "beastly" type you find at the $1,000 to $1,500 range. I'd take the thing apart for curiosities sake - but maybe AFTER the warranty expires. In short, it is overall nicely finished an expensive looking, unlike my generic looking Pioneers (which nevertheless sound absolutely gorgeous for the money). I did not like its lack of speaker-level inputs as I have setup that I would need them for, but then again I had a solution for that I will employ later. In short, there are no fancy features here or "auto eq" to help you along, nor any built in EQ features, but for the $519 I paid, this is perhaps the norm, and those features are redundant given some of today's AV receivers. It was somewhat hard to "dial in" at first, but I eventually settled for reverse-phase (the 180 switch), and set the volume below half and crossover to what I thought was about 100 hz. I used my receiver to cut the sub level to -10 dB (max is "0 dB"), so I could turn the bass up if needed as I switched between sources. Listening to it on its own, it sounded deep, aggressive, tight, and fantastic. At first, that slowish "ported sound" with "too-much-overhang" was there on music tracks that dug ultra-deep. It was hard to get a good blend - then again it has tended to be hard to blend with my speakers in general. But the floor and wall shaking sound was there when I demoed a movie - to a level that was truly awesome. The Klipsch had that great "effortless" sound, like I couldn't push it past its limits even when I watched the cone flop back and forth during a movie "sine sweep" (a loud high bass down to something sub-sonic). It was cool. BUT, unable to place it any better, the boominess was a bit distracting / disappointing. As a next step, I turned on my other sub, the 50 watt, 8 inch pioneer I'd been living with (set in the opposing corner), and played around with levels and crossovers again. The Pioneer is in many ways an excellent subwoofer, not "inferior" in any obvious way except in raw output and extension - the sound quality is still there. It does music a lot of justice but can't touch the Klipsch on movie performance. Much to my surprise, playing both subwoofers vastly "tamed" the boominess I had heard and the overall sound seemed to tighten up considerably. I don't think this was from "cancellation", as I re-demoed some movies and music and all the deep bass was still there. Sure, its silly to run 2 subwoofers of very different capability side by side, but it works, and works great in my room, so I am doing it. I highly recommend running 2 subwoofers if you can afford it (even if they aren't 100% the same) - other than adding a little headroom, it is sort of like an active "room correction" if you feel your sound is too boomy. Based on my time with the Klipsch so far, I would absolutely purchase two if I could afford it and not worry about the fact that some competing products in this price range are "better" - they would be better in a way that is probably hard to detect on most occasions. Furthermore, I doubt there is a single subwoofer out there that would truly ace two of these high quality subs working together, for less than $1,000. Buy with confidence! ... show more

  • Lives up to the name on the front
Color: Black Style: Subwoofer only
This sub was ordered to replace an old Infinity sub that dated from perhaps 2002. It had always done quite well. It didn't it the very lowest transients, but it was generally pretty musical and only fell prey to port chuffing and other untoward noises at the very outer edge of the volume/bass matrix it was required to reproduce (Like Hans Zimmer falling asleep and stepping on all the organ pedals at once during Interstellar). That said, I was getting a new pair of (much higher up-market) speakers, and I didn't want to stint on the sub and have that bring the system quality down. Here's a rundown. 1) The sub came in an almost pristine box. No dents, no gouges, no evidence that it had been dragged several miles down a gravel logging trail behind a pickup truck. 2) This is a large-ish sub, but I wouldn't characterize it as a monster. It didn't seem unduly heavy, nor did it take up much more room than the 10" Infinity it replaced. 3) The fit and finish are quite good. No obvious flaws. I am a sucker for the copper colored driver. (It's actually anodized aluminum with a ceramic element, not copper, as Klipsch will often call it.) The tint of the new generation of ceramitallic drivers is a good bit darker than the old ones. I have a pair of RB-600s and those drivers are far more burnished gold than copper in color, whereas this one definitely has a higher red component. 4) The setup is undramatic, if you've dealt with subs before. Gain, crossover, phase, on/off...neither more or less difficult than expected. 5) This certainly hits much lower than the Infinity, which was said to be -3 at 34 Hz. I have no reason to doubt Klipsch's claim of 24 Hz as a -3db point. In room, it plumbs the depths of the bass hits on my bass tester disks, and does so with absolutely no strain. 6) To put a finer point on what I alluded to above, this subwoofer gets a TON of bass out of a fairly minuscule amount of woofer movement. At just about the maximum comfortable volume level for my room, it was absolutely shivering my timbers with only a modest amount of peak-to-peak movement. No port sounds at all were audible. 7) A word about the port -- I don't think it's completely clear from the pictures how large the slot port of this sub is. It's fairly immense. You could reach your arm in this thing, well up to the wrist, and it goes all the way across the front of the enclosure. It would have to be pushing air like a hair dryer before it made a sound, I think. 8) There's nothing loose or sloppy here. If you get the phase set correctly, this sub should be able to keep up with most main speakers. If you're having booming or sloppy sound issues, it may well be a placement problem, not a problem inherent to this sub. I was really on the fence on whether to get this sub, or the SVS S2000. Both where similar in price, with the SVS being sealed, smaller, and, to me, not quite as pretty. Being a bit of a Klipsch fan, and having two subs already by that company (both solid), I went with this one. No regrets. The R-112SW is a fine sub. It stays out of the way with music, providing just the nuances of bass fundamental tones as necessary, without being destructive to the overall sound. On movies, it laughs in the face of the monster LFE effects and reproduces them with palpable, kinetic slam. I regret only that I sat on my hands and missed the sales that were going a few months ago. Still, even at Klipsch's MSRP, I don't think it's a bad bargain. I had initially been sad that I couldn't make space for the larger brother to this unit, but I think that would have been overkill for my room. This thing throws down all the bass that I could wish for, and does it without breaking a sweat. ... show more
