For her 2023 Xmas, I bought my wife a $2700 sound system with a Denon theater amp and 9 Klipsch speakers including two12 inch subs for her little 12' X 12' privacy room. The bass is more than impressive with the subwoofers set at 35%. It makes the whole room shake, even at lower volumes. This system has a great well-balanced sound, and it can get louder than we will ever need it to get. My hats off to Klipsch for designing some great equipment. I have 5 theater surround systems in our house, and have no trouble with the wife.

[@dougg1075]

[@Lamber5]

RP14000SW is a beast! I love this subwoofer, so much better than 2x SPL-120s that I was running previously. You will not be disappointed, unless your room setup REQUIRES DSP to fix some major bass boost issues. With all the sales recently... this is incredible value.

For the unsightly tabs on the front of the enclosure... buy a cheap variety pack of rubber automotive vacuum tube caps and DIY. All sorts of lengths and diameters.

10" is perfect for music

[@Punisher9419]

@@m4nc1n1 Yea I like it, I'm just strugglig to tune it to where I like it. I think the biggest problem I have is that some music seems to need more boost to bass and others less bass. On my amp I've increased it just a tad which seems to work well enough at the volume I normally have my amp at. Fairly happy with the actual settings on the sub though, placement could be better but I go between 3 places in my room so it's difficult to get the placement right and work for all those 3 places perfectly. Unless I buy 3 subs anyway :)

Hot take. There is no such thing as a "fast" and "slow" sub.

[@mitchy5994]

To the average person, this is true. They can't tell a difference. If you listen to enough subs, you'll start to train your ears and hear the differences between them.

[@Ry-lx2kl]

I'd say tight and loose dictated by the woofer suspension, magnet structure, and dampening factor on the amp. Given that most subs in the same series use the same amp, same magnet structure, and have the same Xmax, a smaller diameter sub in that series can likely stop the previous bass note faster as there is less moving mass. This is not the same as saying a 12" is automatically a tighter sub than an 18". If the 18" has a lower xmax and a higher BL, it can likely be more controlled than a smaller woofer with a lower bl and bigger xmax.

[@boterhammetpindakaashagelslag]

Also. The idea that smaller subs are faster, is nonsense.

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

@@mitchy5994 There are differences but the terms fast and slow make no sense. If it's moving slower than it's playing a lower frequency. The terminology is wrong. You can say that it sounds tighter or punchier. But slow and fast make no sense.
