Please keep us updated on this one. I’ve been looking at these but am now concerned. Also trying to stay budget and the rest of my system is Klipsch. Thanks and great job on the videos!
Klipsch has always had issues with the plate amps they use. It's very annoying because the drivers are fine, they just seem to think it wont hurt their reputation, which they would be wrong about. IMO, uf you have the 16" with a bad amp and you like it, bypass the plate amo and power it with a class amp. VTV and others make some great monoblock amps that can easily power the 16" driver and the reduced vibration/better ventilation will make it a reliable setup.
@@e4superflyyeah that sucks that depending on what country you live in that you can only get certain brands. They should make it where they can ship any brand around the world . The shipping would b high, but atleast u would have the option.
I purchased the RP1200 in August this year. In this category of subwoofers, it’s the only brand with a reasonable price-at least here in Brazil, and that’s if you import it through Paraguay, haha. So far, I haven’t had any issues. I watched your review of the RP1200 and RP1600. I’m sorry to hear you had problems with the RP1600. Did you experience any issues with the RP1200? Thanks!
I have 2 of the SPL 15 inch subs, both have blown amps, and now the actual speaker is broken, very disappointing and I can no way afford SVS of anything like that, so I turned the other sub off, and I shall have a sub less home theatre
Read from alot of people SVS has superb customer service with their products, but alot of people have also said SvS limits the output performance from their subs to stay within safe operational limits. That way they would only have to honor minimal warranty returns. Its like putting a governor on the car to top out at 65mph when its capable of going way more then that. I want to purchase the svs pb2000 pro instead of the RP1200 due to its amp concerns. But hearing what svs does, im looking at the HSU vtf2 mk5 . Reviews from that say it blows SvS out of the water.
I recentlly grabbed 2 RP-1400's. I hope the plate amp issues on the 1600's are not present on the 1400's. Best bang for the buck here in the US are made by RSL. Fantastic build quality, customer service, and performance/features.... Ive read RSL (Rodgers Sound Labs) been around for decades in California and have not seen a single bad review of any of their offerings. The reason I went with the rp-1400s is because they are on sale right now for 50% off on slickdeals. Anyway...RSL makes the 12s speedwoofer for $799 which hits subsonic frequencies with ease They have a 10s for $499 And a 10e for $299. The 10e is just 100w less output and no wireless reciever built in. I would say its the bang for the buck king here in the US as all of the speedwoofers from RSL perform like a sub one size bigger from most other manufacturers.

Klipsch has had problems with the sub amps for for decades now..
@@BeyondResolution yes and the RP range was suppose to remedy it all.
@ yeah, heard that before 😂 they lost their ways after the RW series. Both in design and quality.
And the sw308 was quite good too.
No issue with my RP 1400… It slaps quite well😂
@@Oneshawdog89 keep us posted if it stays that way👍
@@homecinemaking397 If it does crap out, I’ll go svs 16” next round! 😂
Cannot go wrong with HSU Subs. HSU TN 1. Had a HSU sub since 1995
@@calvincurry8496 ill look into them, but not something available in our country.

Great video my friend, but do you prefer the SVS or the 16-Klipsch who got better low end plz
@@Jay-y1s6g SVS all the way👍
So are you gonna go into any detail as to what is happening?
@@mattcrazy7070 its not 100% clear but something is up and i would avoid them unless you feel like risking it.
RSL (RodgerSound Lab) Speedwoofer 12S for the win when it comes to bang-for-buck (and this includes service, reliability and, obviously, performance).
Can you get Miller and Kreisel in SF ? I have been using a M&K V-125 for 30 years and it gets worked out very day. Goes down to 20hz in room.
@@shaunrichards744 i love MK but not really bang for buck.
I wish we had rhythmik, HSU and RSL in south africa
@@e4superfly yes we really need more of these brands. I know some new stuff is coming in the new year, but i cant talk about them yet 😉
I live in the US and run SvS Subs.
Have you ever tried any of the ToneWinner suds? There piece is perry resemble?
@ SVS is just that reliable brand👍 we dont get ToneWinner in SA unfortunately.
@tommyboy3737 I've seen alot of good reviews on tonewinner but no one is importing them

Difficult for us in SA as all brand sub's are a premium price
In 2022 i buy a spl-120, one month after the end of warranty the same problem as you, plate amp dead, so now i have an pb1000 pro from svs
