Klipsch RSW10D 10" black 500W Reference Series subwoofer

This mouse roars

Even the smallest subwoofer in the Klipsch Reference Series hurls out enough seismic power to shake the foundation. With its high-end materials and superb design, the RSW10D perfectly anchors a home theater, or two-channel stereo music system. The RSW10D gets its hard-hitting intensity courtesy of dual ultra high-output 10-inch Cerametallic drivers (one front-firing passive radiator, one rear-firing woofer) and a 500-watt RMS amplifier. For quick and easy adjustment of all functions, the RSW10D features the DCS digital user-interface that includes three equalization modes (flat, depth, and punch) and three user-adjustable presets (music, movie, and night) to create specific listening preferences. Available either in black ash or cherry (special order) woodgrain vinyl finish, the RSW10D also comes with an IR sensor for operation from any learning remote or control system.

This lion can whisper, too

The name Klipsch is synonymous with big, big sound, and the RSW10D subwoofer would make its daddies proud. An improvement on previous designs in a less obtrusive shell, this comparably dainty box delivers sound loud enough to knock down your house. Thanks to its Digitally Controlled Subwoofer (DCS) Technology it also has a sensitive side, allowing you to adjust its three equalization modes (flat, depth, and punch) and its three presets (music, movie, and night) with any learning remote. This subwoofer listens and responds when you communicate with it. Take the "Night" preset, for instance, which softens the blow of loud noises so you can listen to music or watch movies way past everyone else's bedtime without waking them up. This is a kinder, gentler subwoofer (with a real beast lurking within).

Built to last and last and last

Klipsch build-quality is legendary. Behind the matte black facade of the RSW10D lies some of the finest materials and electronic components available today. From the high-density fiber-board used to construct the actual cabinet to the 500-watt RMS amplifier, you can expect your Klipsch product to keep you satisfied for a lifetime. The 10" Cerametallic Cone Bass Driver delivers unrivaled clarity, efficiency, power handling, freedom from distortion, and reliability that sets new standards for a subwoofer working in a home speaker system. High-quality internal wiring is used to ensure superior connection to all the essential components. The RSW10D is a subwoofer that truly lets you hear through to the original performance, to experience every detail and feel all the emotion.
