KlipschSub-12HG Synergy Series 12-Inch 300-Watt Subwoofer with High Gloss Trim (Black)

Growing up I have always been into home theater sound and loud music. I started it out with some off brand speakers given to me. Klipsch in my opinion is an awesome brand. Their products are solid, reputable and sound great. Before this Klipsch subwoofer I was using an Infinity system. Before I ever considered buying Klipsch or any other brand of speakers, at the time I only knew Infinity and I thought that was awesome. I still have the Infinity Total Speaker Solution (TSS-1200) speaker package, It sounds good and the subwoofer was deep and clean. I took a jump and went with Klipsch after I was sold a 5.0 Klipsch Quintet III speaker package. Not knowing much about Klipsch, I pulled these speakers (Quintet) for $150 brand new in the box from craigslist. I hooked up them up to my receiver a Harman Kardon AVR 1600 and they sounded awesome. At the time I left my Infinity subwoofer and still sounded very decent. After researching, checking on forums and reviews I knew I wanted more Klipsch speakers because of my experience using them. I knew I wanted to buy a Klipsch brand sub to pair the quintet system. Being a hard working guy, sometimes I could not justify wanting to spend 250-300 on just one item, like a subwoofer. But the day came, I kept checking on Slickdeals to see if any Klipsch subs would be on sale. I purchased this Klipsch Sub-12HG Synergy Series 12-Inch on sale for $200 with free shipping. Man you cannot beat that, knowing what I know now!!! Excited like a little kid on Christmas morning, when the box arrived I could not wait to hear the bass on this sub. I was surprised on the size of it, this is one bulky monster. Nevertheless, it did not disappoint!!!! The bass on this woofer is amazing, it will literally make the walls rattle. I live in an apartment, I have the bass level on negatives on my receiver, and still this subwoofer hits clean and deep. I mean just very awesome sounds on lows and on point bass. I sampled a couple songs and I heard some lows that my other woofer would have never sounded or picked up. This is an amazing subwoofer, considering my circumstances and what I paid for it. Don't get me wrong, as I really mean this...this subwoofer is worth 300-400 dollars easy. If you ever get a chance to buy under $250 its a deal, anything under $200 its a steal for this sub. If you're looking for mid range price subwoofer I very much recommend this one. Of course there are higher end subs that can go to the 500+ price range. I myself have not made it up that latter, so I will stick to what I know. Consider yourself warned, bass that will shake any form of room made with drywall, this is a bulky item!!!! lol

As an audiophile and avid home theatre buff, I will admit that I have champagne taste on a beer budget. I am also a married Father of 4 kids, so if something is an inexpensive good buy, I will find it. Usually, if you are fortunate enough to find one of these on Amazon, feel confident in your purchase. Yes, since KLIPSCH has discontinued this subwoofer, in most cases, it will not be returnable. But, you can trust KLIPSCH. I have purchased two of these from Amazon within the last six months. There are certain brands that I have found are "IN MY OPINION" are the best brands to stick with. For receivers, I will always turn to Onkyo. Clear High Current with that Trademark Onkyo sound. Currently, I have a TXNR636 that has been firmware updated to accommodate Dolby Atmos. For subwoofers, it is obvious that I turn to KLIPSCH. For 4K Televisions, my eyes always prefer a Samsung 60 inch, as I sit eleven feet from the screen, however, I hope to move-up to a 65 or 70 inch SUHD and SUHD Blu-Ray player in the next year. For Blu-Ray players, I also prefer, Samsung. For clean, stable, 120 electric, I prefer Monster Cable, and for speakers, my wife insisted that I do ceiling speakers. I needed a great HD speaker with great power handling so I went with (7) Acoustic Audio HD-8Pr 8 inch Round 2 Way Kevlar Speakers (White) from Amazon in the 12 foot high ceiling. I could not have made a better choice. They have crystal clear highs and well rounded bass thanks to the 8 inch Kevlar cones and they sound great at high volumes with any movie from Classic Westerns to new movies like "Risen". With these two KLIPSCH Sub-12HG Synergy Series 12-Inch 300-Watt subwoofers, both the earthquake scene , as well as, the stone being rolled into place in front of the tomb of Jesus completely, blew me away. Both Subs are set the same. Gain is set at 12 "O" Clock and Low Pass is set ar 12 "O" Clock. Phase is set at 0. Auto is selected. And the input I am using LEFT/LFE. Both inputs on the subwoofers are supplied directly, from the Onkyo receivers 7.2 (2) SUB OUTS through Monster Cable MSB850SW-8M (26FT) Subwoofer Cables also, from Amazon. Since I had bathed all my trim in Ralph Lauren River Rock, I used Frog Tape and gave the KLIPSCH Sub-12HG's a bath in 3 coats of Ralph Lauren River Rock paint sold at Home Depot. Now the typical black box sub look is gone and they blend in nicely with the other decor. I do not mind the bright blue LED that is constant when the subs are on, and the bright red LED when no signal is received after a small amount of time. The bass is tight, strong, and powerful, but never exaggerated. I am so happy with my purchases from Amazon. The Bass is "PHENOMENAL".
