Comments

Edward Gordon: Combined the Klipsch subwoofer with a new pair of Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 bookshelf speakers. Great sound for the money invested and not overpowering in my small living room.

Norm H: Originally had purchased a Polk PS111, but had issues with sound humming and popping. Returned and ordered the Klipsch and what a difference. Bass that sounds like thunder is what I've been looking for. I have the volume set at one quarter on the sub and -15db on the amp. At quarter volume it still pounds. Great sub for the price.

Keith starrs: Sound quality for the price is great. Had one sub already but this sound is so good I may switch out the old one so I have two of these!!!

Ashley Compton: Works great. Just wish we could turn up a little louder without distortion. But for movies it's prefect.

Anthony V. Mumolo: I've been a home theater buff for over 18 years and I've progressively improved my equipment in that time: current equipment is:
65" Samsung KS-8000 4K TV (best display I've ever had btw) Samsung UBD 4K blu ray player; Onkyo TX-NR646 Receiver; Polk CSA6 center speaker; Polk TSi200 fronts; Polk TSi100 surrounds; Polk T15 Height speakers and dual subwoofers Polk PSW110 and now my Klipsch K-100sw. Which has replaced a Polk PSW10. I've never owned elite high end equipment but my stuff has always been rated good to excellent.
The Klipsch K-100sw is without question the best sub I've ever had in my system. It provides the one element I've been missing i.e. a powerful, visceral, muscular base contribution. (it can be a shaker if you want it to be) To give you an idea; when I used my spl meter to match output from my two subs I set the Klipsch Ks-100sw gain control at barley 1/4 but I had to crank up the gain on my PSW110 to almost maximum and the Ks-100 still outperforms it. I'll need to do some additional tweaking to even things out. My disclaimer is that I can't comment on this sub with music since I use it exclusively for movies. That being said I think you'd be hard pressed to...

Tara Casper: Great subwoofer for the price. It is fairly accurate, maybe slightly better than the Polk PSW-10 I had. It plays very loud, I do not know who would need to run the gain all the way up. With that being said, I cannot seem to get it placed without it sounding a little boomy, especially around 40hz it seems to me. It may be my room, it may be the rear firing port, it may be the box tuning, or it may be my ears. Whatever it is, it annoys me slightly. The other thing is during movies with real low notes, the port gets kind of noisy while the sub gets quieter because it struggles to dig real low. This is also slightly annoying. Once again, it's probably as good as you can get for a new sub under $200. It's from a reputable company, it has a good warranty, and it's pretty good. Probably very good for the price, so I would recommend it. Just do not expect perfection, or audiophile grade.

R Peterson: Oh man! I am so happy with this thing. I had purchased a Yamaha home theatre that turned out to be a piece of crap. No part of that system was worth the money, in my opinion. I had been using a "best in class" self-powered 12 inch reference sub, but it finally died after 20 years. Our TV room is now about 2880 cubic feet and I didn't want to blow our new smaller house away, but still wanted powerful bass that I could feel. I like music and effects movies so this is a big deal to me. Delivery was fast and this thing is "balls to the wall" quality. This is my first experience with Klipsch and (at least in this case) I can't recommend it enough. I have only had it a couple of weeks and if I have a problem with it, I'll be back to explain things. But for now -- this well built, powerful, high quality beast is as good as my old Velodine sub. I am HAPPY! Thanks for reading. By the way, this has separate volume and crossover settings which I really appreciate. Even my wife seems happy with this one. It's an animal!

Teutonic Knight: This little subwoofer is perfect for average sized family rooms, but could probably handle big home theater setups just as well. It will shake, rattle, and roll your room with very little effort and with very clean, PUNCHY bass! I love the gain control for matching the sound level to the rest of your speaker setup. Also has an adjustable crossover control. I am running this sub with four satellite Klipsch speakers (from an IFI console) which have very high efficiency, but do not have much low end. So I set the crossover about 150-200 hz to allow the sub to reproduce the lows. And does it deliver those lows!!! Together, this 5.1 setup delivers incredibly clean sound. I am very picky with sound quality in both home and car, and this sub, matched with high-quality speakers, produces almost live-concert sound!

This sub is also front firing, which has an advantage over floor firing. Yes, the lower the frequency, the less directional sound. But when your sub is putting out high power, low frequency sound pressure, you want that Big Wave coming AT you, not dispersed by the floor, especially a floor that is carpeted which will absorb some of the subsonic energy. So a big plus on...
