What's great about it:?Great for movies and rap with huge bass What's not so great:?not as good for rock "When i first got this sub hooked up to my system i played my subwoofer test song... Lets just say that i do not turn the sub up past 60% of its own volume and i have not turned up my receiver past -10 Db. This is the best sub i have ever heard. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Great Bass, Great Great Value, What's not so great:?Lacks hitting high notes "I received this subwoofer for Christmas in 2007. I love it. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?The power and price "The klipsch sub12 is an extraordinary subwoofer. The bass from this sub can make the whole house shake. from Bestbuy.com At first I thought there was a problem with the sub as I didn't really notice much of any difference with it on compared to without it. I adjusted the gain and low-pass filters on the sub and had to have the sub at well over 1/2 gain (actually closer to 2/3) in order for it to be noticed over my mains (Klipsch KLF-20's). I really thought that with 300w RMS on tap and a 12" passive driver being pushed by a 10" powered driver that there would be a lot more bass response from this speaker, especially after reading so many positive reviews of the sub-12 on this site as well as on Klipsch.com. I played around with better locations for the speaker including placing it in a corner with the tuned port facing the wall with no success. from Bestbuy.com Bring the house down. This sub provides the theater like experience....thats if you have good speakers as well. My system: Klipsch Quintet III speaker system with Klipsch sub-12 all powered by the Yamaha receiver model 663. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?GREAT value for price What's not so great:?Nothing "If you are buying a subwoofer, and you're not shopping at Magnolia - this really should be the only one you consider. I don't think I can praise the quality of the Sub-12 enough. It will rock your entire neighborhood if you want it to. from Bestbuy.com None---I repeat---not one single subwoofer, can satisfy me for both music and movies at the same time. To meet my needs, I had to have a dual subwoofer system. I am using the Klipsch Sub-12 in conjunction with a Definitive Technology SuperCube II 8 inch subwoofer. The SuperCube II has very tight accurate bass which is great for music, but it lacks 'punch' in the 40Hz and lower frequencies for earth shaking bass in movies. from Bestbuy.com I'm not sure if the sub-10 would be better, but you would be giving up some power. I will probably have to get a front firing 8" subwoofer to get a full range of sound. So just be aware of that depending on what speaker system you match the sub-12 up with. Regardless, it is an awesome subwoofer and I'm sure my neighbors don't like me anymore. from Bestbuy.com I spent months researching the internet and reading reviews on many subwoofers. I went to Best Buy and listened to most of the subwoofers in the Magnolia showroom. Based upon the many positive reviews of the Sub-12, I asked the salesperson if he could bring it into the showroom so I could compare it to others. The Sub-12 blew away every other subwoofer! from Bestbuy.com Pros: awesome sound/feel, tight bass Cons: none - don't use in an apartment though "I just upgraded my whole system from a 3 year old Onkyo HTIB with it's default speakers & subwoofer, to a setup considting of Polk RTI-12s, CXi-A4 and FXI-A4s, driven by a Denon AVR-4802R. If you go to the Klipsh website you'll see the RMS rating of this Sub-12 is "only" 250W. So I was a little skeptical since I'd been using an Oknyo subwoofer rated at 230W - which also gets high ratings. from Bestbuy.com

Description

ITB Silver markII sub-12 is the perfect subwoofer for medium to large home theaters or listening rooms. A 150 watt amp, long-throw front firing 12" driver, and dual rear ports produce impressively deep and powerful bass. Since the ports are rear-mounted and feature a flared design, air turbulence at high listening levels is minimized for the cleanest sound. The amplifier features high and low level inputs, filtered high and low level outputs, phase switch, volume control, auto on/off (activated by an input signal) and a variable 12dB/octave electronic low pass filter. This subwoofer reproduces serious low-frequency bass that will rival the performance of much more expensive subwoofers.
