Bring some bass to your place
The Sub-12 reaches deeper and hits harder thanks to a 12", down-firing driver coupled to a highly efficient BASH amplifier that creates 300 watts of continuous power and 650 watts of dynamic power. With its charged presence and room-rocking abilities, the Sub-12 delivers an adrenaline rush of sound that will impress your friends and provide years of high-quality audio entertainment.
Powerful bass technology
The subwoofer's built-in, steep-slope (24dB/octave) low-pass crossover is continuously adjustable from 40 to 120Hz. A phase control facilitates acoustical integration of the subwoofer with the other speakers in the system. An "auto power" feature enables the subwoofer to turn itself on and off (standby) automatically, based on the presence or absence of an audio signal. A blue/red dual color LED display on the front of the subwoofer indicates whether the unit is on or in standby mode.
Synergy for your eyes, too
In addition to delivering a bass impact that's beyond restraint, the Sub-12 features a new industrial design that is refined and aggressive. Available in a black finish with titanium accents, this extraordinary subwoofer matches the entire Synergy Series lineup in both style and performance.

My previous Cambridge Sound Works subwoofer died and I wanted a very good subwoofer. I thought the unit I had was very good, but Id soon find out it was no match for the Klipsch. I thought about another CSW or a Polk, but after doing some online research and reading reviews I decided to step up to the Klipsch Sub-12. All I can say is oh my goodness! This unit thumps far greater than I imagined. I like the blue led that tells you it is on and it lights orange when in standby. This unit fills my 16 x 18 den. To me this unit was worth spending an extra $100 over a Polk or CSW.

Received this last night and so far I am very impressed with it. Bass is very strong and low but does not feel overdone in movies or music once set up properly. Blue light on the front is a bit bright, as others have mentioned, but it matches the power light on my Pioneer Elite receiver, so my complaint is minimal. Others may have a bigger issue with it. Enclosure matches well with the rest of the Synergy series and is sleek and attractive.

Klipsch sub-12 it is an outstanding quality and performance that make any other brand to go back to the drawing board.
The reviews of the Synergy sub-12, convinced me to go for it, it is so good, That the first Movie I playedAlien Vs, Predator All the decorations and pictture frame on the back wall fell down were broken.
The Sound is so clear, and powerfull, that really all the movies comes alive.
If you are looking for a Sub... dont settle for less than a Klipsch Synergy.Sub-12
And of course... The best Price... at VANNS.

What an awesome subwoofer. I strictly use it for listening to music on my computer. I have a Sony STR-DG520 receiver, which powers my old school Acculab 440s, plus the new subwoofer.
I picked this subwoofer, because I wanted to feel my music. I listened to it at the local electronics store, since I do not have a Vanns here in the region. My friend has one as well, so I knew what I was buying and what to expect.
It is a great sub, lots of power, almost too much, but if you set it right, it sounds great. If you are looking to buy a great sub, for the money this is a great sub. You cant beat it! It blows all other subs out of the water in my opinion, in this price range.
The only downside, that I did not like, since it is a down firing sub, the sub is exposed on the bottom of the box. I think I would feel better if there were some sort of grill on it, because I have to be careful when I move it around to make sure nothing pokes it. Also, since it is a 12 inch sub, the box is large, and you need to find a place to put it.
The color and design are great, you can put it anywhere, as long as its fits. It really is a great product, and I am glad I bought it, and you will be too.
Vanns is a great company, very informative on their products. The free shipping is great, you cant beat that, especially on a 45lb box like the sub comes in.
I would definitely buy from Vanns again in the future.
