Overview
A home theater owner who wants deep low-frequency output gets a big driver in a boxy cabinet with a textured vinyl wrap, set on the floor and fed by a wired link.
Klipsch pairs a large driver with a healthy power figure in a cabinet that is square on its footprint. The listing gives no frequency range or input list, and its weight entry is an obvious placeholder.
Who it's for
Rooms with a free floor corner and a receiver that offers a subwoofer output suit this sub. Small apartments, or buyers who need a compact box, should look at a smaller model.
Pros and cons
- Large driver for deep bass
- Brushed black vinyl finish
- Wired, no pairing step
- Weight entry is implausible
- Input types not listed
- Large footprint needs floor space
Performance notes
Low-frequency output rises with driver size and amplifier power, and the cabinet volume shapes how low the response reaches. Corners add output while open walls reduce it. A wired link also avoids the delay that a wireless connection can add.
