Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Synergy Series SUB-12 subwoofer speaker delivers enough power and bass extension to shake foundations. It uses high-quality materials and the most reliable components to create a rock-solid impact that makes your movies and music come alive. In addition to its ability to play louder and go deeper than anything else in its class, the SUB-10 subwoofer features a newly refined, but aggressive, industrial design. Available in a black finish with titanium accents, this outstanding subwoofer matches the entire Synergy Series lineup in style—and in performance.

The Synergy Series SUB-12 subwoofer speaker gets its room-shaking intensity from a 12" down-firing driver, coupled to a highly efficient BASH(R) amplifier that creates 300 watts of continuous power and 650 watts of dynamic power. A phase control integrates the subwoofer with the other speakers in the system for consistent audio quality. An "auto power" feature enables the subwoofer to turn itself on and off (standby) automatically; a color LED display on the front of the subwoofer indicates whether the unit is "on" or in "standby" mode. Wrapping technical superiority and eye-catching cosmetics into one affordable package, the SUB-12 subwoofer perfectly anchors any home theater or two-channel system.

Product Description

A masterpiece of sound and design, the Synergy Series SUB-12 subwoofer shakes things up with its rock-solid performances. Its extraordinary power adds a dose of "reality" to movie explosions and other special effects, as well as reveals commonly elusive lower musical tones. The SUB-10 reaches deeper and hits harder thanks to a 12" down-firing driver coupled to a highly efficient BASH amplifier that creates 300 watts of continuous power and 650 watts of dynamic power. The subwoofer's built-in, steep-slope low-pass crossover is continuously adjustable from 40 to 120Hz. An "auto power" feature enables the subwoofer to turn itself on and off (standby) automatically, based on the presence or absence of an audio signal. A blue/red dual color LED display on the front of the subwoofer indicates whether the unit is on or in standby mode. In addition to delivering a bass impact that's beyond restraint, the SUB-12 features a new industrial design that is refined and aggressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Sub!, May 15, 2008

This review is from: Klipsch Synergy SUB-12 Subwoofer Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)

I recently replaced a Polk Audio PSW-12 with the Synergy. This is an amazing upgrade. It mixes well with the Polk RTi-8 Fronts, and CSi-3 Center, R15 surround and Infinity Primus 250 Back Surround. All of these speakers are powered by an Onkyo 803.

The previous sub had good bass response, but was very directional. What I mean by that is I could hear the bass coming from the sub. It did not fill the room. The Synergy fills the room, and actually makes the bass sound like it is coming from the individual speakers. If you increase the gain, it will shake the house.

Installation was very simple. I used the LFE connection, and plugged it in to power. It also has an automatic power save mode, and a light on the front to let you know what mode it is in. Over all, a great value!

3.0 out of 5 stars Klipsch Sub 12, March 6, 2009

This review is from: Klipsch Synergy SUB-12 Subwoofer Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)

This sub is really loud and deep bass. You can set the crossover up to 120 and even if you set the gain (volume) to half it would fill up the room. Mine is 1000 sq ft with 12 ft ceiling.

The only issue I have is the materials used was cheap mdf and its HUGE but not too heavy. The amp broke after 1 month, good thing I bought it from an authorized dealer close to mine and got replaced.

Beware of those internet authorized dealer, apparently warranty for Klipsch does not include home service. You basically have to ship it to them at your own expense with the original box (oouch !!!).
