It uses a front-firing 12-inch spun-copper injection-molded graphite woofer, a rear-firing port, and an internal amplifier rated at 200 watts continuous and 400 watts peak.

help Klipsch R-120SW FAQ

Does the Klipsch R-120SW require a separate amplifier?

No, the Klipsch R-120SW is an active, powered subwoofer featuring a built-in 200-watt amplifier. This means it connects directly to your AV receiver's subwoofer output without needing an external power amp.

What is the frequency response of the Klipsch R-120SW?

This 12-inch Reference series subwoofer is designed to deliver deep bass reproduction with a frequency response that reaches down to around 29Hz. This low-end extension makes it ideal for home theater applications where you need to feel movie explosions.

Where should I place the Klipsch R-120SW in my room?

Corner placement is generally recommended for ported subwoofers like the R-120SW to maximize bass output and reinforce the low frequencies. However, you should experiment with placement to avoid 'dead spots' or overwhelming the room with boomy bass.

Can I use the Klipsch R-120SW with bookshelf speakers?

Yes, the R-120SW pairs excellently with bookshelf speakers to create a full-range 2.1 channel system. As long as your AV receiver has an active subwoofer crossover, the 12-inch driver will seamlessly handle the low frequencies that bookshelf speakers cannot reproduce.
