Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The KLH ASW15-200 subwoofer gives your home theater system a satisfying bass kick and enhanced low-end sound for dynamic, realistic audio reproduction. A 15-inch front-firing fiber-cone woofer driven by a 200-watt amplifier means that even big rooms will be filled with explosive, deep bass sound. The designers at KLH have housed the driver in a ported composite-wood cabinet with a handsome black finish, so it will look good in any room in the house.

Adjustable phase and crossover frequency controls are included to set the subwoofer's output to match your surround speakers, giving greater clarity and stronger response. Additional features include quick-connect and low-level terminals, along with auto shutoff to cut power when no signal is present.

The KLH ASW15-200 comes with a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: KLH ASW15-200 15" 200W Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

Very good for the price. But compared with JBL 10 which is the flagship in this level,it gets 4.5 stars. It only comes 1 year warranty. JBL 5 years save you in the long run. Turn to 50% , you will get good result. Don't expect turn to 100% volume even you can. Sensitivity is not great. Maybe less than 87db. That is why it needs 200w while jbl needs 150w But it is a good entry level sub. It has on/off/auto power switch. JBL dones't(auto only)

This review is from: KLH ASW15-200 15" 200W Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

I have had the 15 inch 200watt sub for a while about 6months now
very impressed with it. I am using it with onkyo products and it seems to give good bass response during movies going down as low as 22hertz. The amp on back reading 335watts if that helps you. Box looks good no complaints thier sure of that. The only thing that you might not like is the neighbors complaining. Well hope this helped you out i think it is a great deal if you are looking for some serious bass.

This review is from: KLH ASW15-200 15" 200W Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

Unfortunately, I was unable to purchase this item from Amazon but got a similar price from another store. Though I was impressed with the power and room shaking bass of this subwoofer, I was not impressed with the boomyness of the sound. It was fine for home theater movies but made my music CD's sound muddy and saturated. I read a review posted in an audio magazine where the owner of the ASW 15200 added some acoustic suspension to improve the sound. I purchased some from Radio Shack for less than [price] and installed it in less than 10 minutes. That was the best [money] I ever spent! Boy what a difference it made in the sound - it made a good value even better. I stapled the acoustic suspension to the top, bottom, and sides of the box. The sound is still a little boomy but the bass is tighter and more defined without sounding so overpowering. If you buy this box and aren't happy with the sound the way it is, I highly recommend the slight modification. Enjoy!

I am writing an addition to my earlier review now that it has been 8 months since I originally bought the KLH unit. I must say that I am just as satisfied today as the day I wrote my original review. The sub continues to perform well. And, contrary to what a previous reviewer wrote about equalization, which is important in your overall sound, this sub definitely needed some modification. I am also going to purchase the Audio Source unit which Amazon sells for about [price]- I can't pass up that deal for what seems to be an identical unit. It looks exactly like the KLH unit with the same size driver and power amp. If you read the reviews for it, just about all of the reviewers recommended some modifications to improve the bass response.
