good to see what's inside, thanks

Awesome video, well spoken and the deep unboxing is a plus! Kudos looks like a nice built sub.

Can you please provide cea-2010 measurement. The review is almost pointless without knowing that to see how it stacks up to other subwoofers... :/

How does the RP-1200SW perform with music? Because it's ported, not sealed.

[madcrabber]

Wish these had at least rca outputs and speaker inputs to make them easier for me to use in my room that has several different systems. A cherry veneer or vinyl option would also be nice.

How big is the box that it is shipped in? I'm worried it won't fit through the door. Thanks.

I'm waiting for the RP-800SW (small room...)

Is it ok to use 2 brands of subwoofers for a 7.2 set up ? I've got a Paradigm 12 inch sub model X12 and hoping to pair it with the Klipsch RP 1200 sw?

Great, is Klipsch RP 1200 match with Dali Speakears? I have Oberon 3 Dali .Thanx..(Also Denon 900 Amp)

I felt sadness inside when he took it apart

Por fuera parece un subwoofer monolith y por dentro le copiaron el diseño a svs..

[Quietprofessional]

My entire home theater is Klipsch except for my subwoofer which is an RSL speedwoofer 12S.
It cost $800 and it will eat this subwoofer's lunch. 500w rms 1, 550 peak power. Comes with a DSP remote too.
