Overview
A spun-copper polymer cone inside this Klipsch subwoofer stays light and stiff, so it moves fast without breaking up at volume. An all-digital amplifier drives it, and low-pass crossover and phase controls let it blend with your other speakers.
Front firing makes placement easy, since the sub can sit close to a wall or in a corner and still project into the room. It needs a receiver or preamp output, and wireless use is not supported in the specs.
Who it's for
Living room theaters and stereo setups with an AV receiver get deeper bass from a ten-inch driver. Soundbar owners without a sub output need a matched wireless sub.
Pros and cons
- Light, stiff spun-copper cone
- Efficient all-digital amplifier
- Front-firing for flexible placement
- Crossover and phase controls
- Wired connection only per specs
- Heavy to move around
- Large cabinet for small rooms
- No app or remote listed
Performance notes
Placement shapes the result, since corners and walls reinforce low notes and can make bass boomy. Phase control lines the sub up in time with the main speakers, so bass from both arrives together. The crossover sets where the sub takes over, which smooths the handoff with small speakers.
