Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What amplifier works best with this subwoofer?
A: This is an active (powered) subwoofer with built-in amplification. Simply connect it to your AV receiver or preamplifier's subwoofer output (LFE) using an RCA cable.
Q: What room size is ideal?
A: The RP-1200SW is suitable for medium to large rooms (15-40㎡). The 12-inch driver and powerful built-in amplifier deliver deep, impactful bass for home theater and music.
Q: Do I need two subwoofers?
A: For most home theaters, one RP-1200SW provides excellent bass. For larger rooms (30+㎡) or dedicated theater rooms, dual subwoofers can provide more even bass distribution.
Q: What is the Klipsch subwoofer sound signature?
A: Klipsch subwoofers deliver tight, powerful bass with excellent transient response. They feature ceramic metallic woofers and Class-D amplification for dynamic, cinema-quality low frequencies.
Q: Can I use this for both movies and music?
A: Absolutely! The RP-1200SW excels at both explosive movie soundtracks and detailed musical bass. Adjustable crossover and phase controls let you optimize for your specific setup.
Q: How does this compare to other brands?
A: Klipsch subwoofers offer exceptional value with American-made quality, high-efficiency designs, and powerful Class-D amplifiers that deliver more output than competitors in the same price range.
Q: Where should I place the subwoofer?
A: Corner placement typically provides the most bass output. For best results, use the "subwoofer crawl" method: place the sub at your listening position, walk around the room to find the spot with best bass, then move the sub there.
Q: Does it require break-in?
A: Yes, we recommend 50-100 hours of playtime for the woofer suspension to loosen up. The bass will become deeper and more responsive over time.
