Strength:

Powerful bass response, very tight. Downfiring design is fantastic on hardwood floors

Weakness:

none

Excellent sub for the money. Very tight, deep bass. Really shakes the place. Great for a home theater setup. Pretty damn good for music as well. Sounded better with music than I had originally expected. I'd give it an "A" for a rating.

Strength:

great sound

Weakness:

none really

this is a follow up on an earlier post.
I finally got around to hooking up the Monster Cable Sub interconnect; it really improved the sound. it is definitely worth the $30-$40. maybe similar products work as well and cost a bit less, but as far as I'm told, Monster has the only such THX certified cable?
instead of my earlier 4 stars, I would now like to give this product 5 stars. great sound- I'm really enjoying my music and movies lately.

Strength:

amplifier, low pass, easy connectivity, easy setup, EXCELLENT BASS REPRODUCTION

Weakness:

None, Zero, Zilch

Recently purchased my Home Theatre System in seperates. Final piece was a sub. Shopped around. Auditioned everything. NOTHING compares to this sub. It ROCKS! I live in an
apartment (probably not for long!) so I have it down real low and it still shakes our couch! Of course I'll let it loose
now and again....and when I do....it is UNBELIEVABLE. Got it
from VANNS.COM. These guys are GREAT.
You can't go wrong with Klipsch and Vanns.com.
Highly recommended.

Strength:

sounds good when it is working

Weakness:

keeps blowing out fuses

This sub sounds good for the money but I am very dissappointed in it. I have not had this sub very long and it has already blown out two fuses. I would recommend looking somewhere else for a sub if you are currently shopping for one. I might have got a defective model but i have heard that other people have this problem. If you want to take the risk of having to continously replace fuses just to get the performance of this sub go ahead, but i would not recommend it. That is why i have to give this sub two stars.

Strength:

Solid performance good looks good price

Weakness:

none as of yet

First bought a jbl psw 12. piece of junk blew the fuse the first time I turned it on. See my review under that model.
The Klipsch 12 inch is one of the best I have heard for the money. It is quality from the components used on the amp. to the cabinet itself. Good response and recovery under the hardest use.
Got a great deal from vanns.com 324.00 w/sh. I don't think they are offering that price anymore but it is a great outfit to deal with. they are rated five star by biz.com

Strength:

Sound,Value,size,easy to add on to any system.

Weakness:

Over 70 htz is starts to sound imperfect,but not a problem unless you have really small satellites ect.

The value is unbeatable, its sturdy, goes very low and can get pretty loud. Compared to the other subs I have had and listened too this one never gets boomy, always sounds in control and is enjoyable, not annoying. If you want good sound without going into debt its a great buy, I only wish this would have been my 1st sub ,until it blows up it will be my last.Oh yea, I got for 299.00

Just got mine in the other day. Wheeee!!! Right now, I have it hooked to my POS Phillips mini-system, but the rest of my new stuff should be here. Soon. Still, it is amazing what this sub will do hooked up to this thing w/ the cheapo Radio Shack cables. Real nice, seems like my little speakers got a HUGE bass boost. (Plus it's the coolest piece of furniture in my room.)

Strength:

The sound is amazing and I would recommend this system to anybody.

Weakness:

None Found

I finally got an upgrade on my stereo system from the junk system I was using. The new system is a killer audio package from www.acousticsounddesign.com. I picked up Klipsch RF-3 Towers, a Klipsch RC-3 center, RS-3 rear surrounds, a new KSW-12 " subwoofer, and a kickin'
Denon Avr-3801AM-FM Audio video receiver for $2459. Just thought you all might be looking for a good price.

Strength:

Crystal clear, powerful bass

Weakness:

A bit boomy

I'm really impressed with the product and feel that you'd have a hard time finding anything better for the price. Fills my living room with deep rich bass for music, and with DVDs, it can shake the entire house. With careful level modulation, you can minimize the boominess which seems fairly common with larger diameter subs. Again, this thing sounds fantastic, especially with my Klipsch Quintet mains and surrounds.
