I always tell everyone, if you are looking for a sub that won't break the bank account and has great quality, it will be Klipsch, the same goes for their speakers too
In regards to speakers, couldn’t agree more. For subs, I’ve had two prior models and have always felt that they were always noticeably more muddy/boomy compared to similarly priced subs from competitors. I’m VERY interested in this new RP line, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them.
The Klipsch are totally off the chain. During music,. The low end you can actually feel through your body, lol. And we actually have to back them down for home theater and Atmos. Insane value never heard nothing like it.!
I love my SPL-150s BUT!! In the short time I’ve had them BOTH needed their amps replaced. I will say that Klipsch customer service was great, exchanged was smooth with no problems.
Same I replaced the amp for my SPL-150 and the new amp blew up again for the second time. And it is out of warranty this time. Their quality control is not great when it comes to subs.
Hello, I’ve connected both my Klipsch subs to my Onkyo receiver, but the subs only come on when I manually turn them on, not when I power in the receiver. What could be causing this? Thanks
You probably have them set to be audio triggered. They probably come on when they see a signal from the receiver. If you purchased your gear from Audio Advice please reach out to our tech help for more advice.
I normally am not big on Klipsch subs, but I admit this video has me taking a deeper look. A ton of flexibility with these, and the finishes are sleek! Literally a sub for any type of system.
I have a 12' 500 watt down firing Klipsch subwoofer I bought 18 years ago for like $500 on sale and I do not regret it in fact I went and bought one more lol but I had to stick in storage and the circuit board melted from the heat so one was lost but 18 years later that mofo is still rattling stuff of the walls. Instantly sold on their products and was a major major major upgrade from the stereo kits sold in walmart. Maybe not the best Klipsch subwoofer since it isn't shiney with that copper bling bling today's model has but 18 years still going like new no complaints whatsoever here.
It will actually depend on a few things. We recommend talking with our expert at audioadvice.com. You can call or chat and they will help you pick the best option for your system.
@@aspjake123 they're SENSATIONAL! deep meaningful bass that is extremely linear. They're amazing for music and movies. And they pair beautifully with my THX system from Klipsch. Highly recommend
We have a 12 inch sub on each side of the towers, Dolby, Atmos, also, side speakers and rear speakers. Denon receiver everything as far as audio stack is in a separate room behind the wall. I’ve never heard such low in bass from that size of subwoofers! I literally have to turn them down because the neighbors across the street can hear it through their house. Lol.
I have 110hz speakers and my avr only has 100hz or 120hz selections is it ok to set avr to 100hz for my 110hz speakers or is it best to keep them at 120hz? Any help would be appreciated thank you....
I wonder how these compare to SVS pb-1000 pro. Have a full Reference Premiere speaker setup but I used SVS for the subs because i always heard they were better quality than the existing klipsch subs.
Yep. Klipsch had good SW in 2006… then gone cheapo… then improoved a bit with the spl models and now are finally back to the game with the RP line of affordable high performance sw, i hope
currently run a pb1k pro and spl150. they are pretty similar in performance. the rp 1400sw should according to specs nearly double the spl150 in peak performance. so id imagine the rp1400 could nearly double the pb1k pro. ill know tomorrow how much the rp1600 compares to the them once it arrives
Curious. Could you add this to the r-50pm??? I want a basic Bluetooth kinda set up with clean and heavy bass for living room cranking music while we cook dinner etc. thx.
Been waiting on reviews for these as I'm in the market now. Eyes are on the 1600 but I need some comparisons on how they sound compared to the svs 16ultras. Apparently Klipsch is working on a "Monster" sub more powerful than the 1600. Would love for a tease of this at least and estimate release date.
@@AudioAdvice check out Youthman's - Klipsch Isn't Playing! / NEW REFERENCE PREMIERE SUBWOOFERS video. Starting at 3:19 he talks about Klibsch's statement on their "Beast" Sub in the works and Klipsch Pod Cast with Youthman, Klipsch confirmed they are working on something unannounced yet.
I want speed. I want my bass to be extremely tight, with precise attack. I’m not into “boom”. Perhaps the 10 is best for me - perhaps even two - instead of a single 12.
Klipsch keepin up with the joness huh? Price point needs to be lower to get these things out there but the performance seems like its up there with svs rythmik etc. thenksfor video
Yes, 3dB is twice the acoustic pressure so if using 2 or more subs without individual controls you need to consider that when measuring, but yes, the ear perceives 10 dB twice the volume. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice 1 decibel = 10 logarithm of (A/B) where A and B are the acoustic intensities of 2 sounds. If you want to double your acoustic pressure then A = 2B. Inserting in the formula we get 10 log (2B/B) = 10 log (2) which equals to 3.01 db
holy! moly! 10 years awesome that was Klipsch. my 2 Klipsch powered bass speakers have failed amps 1 in 6 months 1 in 8 months at 850.00 you would expect 10 years life expectancy but Klipsch was sold to a Chinese company and now it is all Chinese parts. literally 1000s have experienced this. tried multiple times to contact Klipsch with no results. and no replacement parts we can find so i no longer recommend Powered Klipsch,, also latest technical look at what they are pumping out is not good. i have 12 passive klipsch, not the best sound through the scale but at least they are not $850.00 bricks
One of my Klipsch THX Ultra II Subs farted while watching this video. Not really but it's really sad 😢. When is the giveaway? I'll pay the shipping on the 16" when I win 😂.
@@darryltaylor2438 Really thats great & bad at the same time. Im glad mine are better but its not good they cant build a better sub than one from the early 2000's. Did they mean the dual THX subs are better than the new 16" or just the new 12"? I figured the 16" would blow my dual THX twelves away. Love having a stand alone sub amp though!
Nope, this amplifiers are not the most powerfull they ever released in the past… my old 10inch rsw-10d klipsch sw had 500 RMS… when klipsh used to make them small and powerfull with so much musicality. Then they gone a bad cheap sw route for years until they got a little bit better with the spl range and finnaly this new revamped series of ported but highly sensitive sw line that may start to sound good with music too beside moovies…

It should be close, but no wireless connection is an exact match to wired. Thanks for watching

Thanks! Glad you like them
They are absolutely beautiful! Of course, being a man I took all the covers off, so you can see the speakers🤣🤣

Swapping a single PB-1000pro for the RP-1200sw. I have all Klipsch RP speakers. Is this an upgrade in performance or kind of the same thing?
Unless you can sell your SVS for a lot, its probably more of a lateral move, they both go down to almost exactly the same point. Thanks for watching
dumb question but if I have an old receiver, would that work with it?
Yes as long as it has a subwoofer out connection!

Klipsch has always made great subwoofers.
Agreed!
lol
Lol!😂
Not true. This is coming from someone that has mostly klipsch speakers.. My sub sounds muddy.. Which is why I'm looking to upgrade
I heard these were on the horizon. I can't wait to hear these! Are they available for audition in your Raleigh showroom?
They sound great! We will have the 10", 12" and 14" in the Raleigh showroom for you to demo. Come on by!
Hey :)
Could I connect one of these subs to the Klipsch Cinema 1200? 🤔
Yes. The 1200 was great in that you can add a second wired sub to it.

I think the 1600 qualifies as a monster. It destroys a pb16 ultra.
@@reese373 Probably an 18inch model, 2k watt power.... Just a guess

The old Klipsch RSW 15 subwoofer amplifier can produce 650 watts RMS and 2400-watt dynamic power.
Yes, that was a nice one
A sound must be increased by 10 dB to be perceived as twice as loud.
You are right. Our mistake. 3 dB louder is twice the power, not the loudness. Thanks for sharing!
Thank God for this reply for a moment I thought all I knew about spl was wrong
When "The Beast"?
Great question, still nothing we have heard of. Thanks for watching
