Here is one I found for the RF-62II last week:

I gave away one set, so I have 4 left that I will never use. I can throw them in an envelope and send them your way if you'd like them.

The only time I got a dent in a woofer was when I was building my RW-12d sonosub. I dropped a screw on the dust cap and it got a couple of small dents. Shortly after, I purchased a new driver from Klipsch. It's in a downfiring position and I can't see it, but I still couldn't stand having dents in the woofer. The dust caps seem to dent significantly more easily.

Thank you. It's been working well for 5 years now. Cerimetalic is supposed to be light (and the entire driver is), so I'd imagine it'll keep working. I can always change out the driver. I built the box a little big for that very reason.

My dad taught me how to solder as a kid, and then I re-learned how to solder in an "Electronics Principles" course when I joined the Air Force 15 years ago.

I am interested in the RF-63's. I have always wanted a set (currently have RF-62's). But it looks like you all beat me to it.

Looks like he bought them from an unauthorized retailer.

RF-62 RB-51 RSX-3 (with Logitech sub for my computer) I grew up with my dad owning a set of LaScala's, which got me into Klipsch and he still owns them... I love them, but they are large and do not dig deep enough for my tastes. A sub to keep up would just be too large for me to practically place.

The box on that sub irritated me so much that I ended up making my own box for the driver. Mine creaked and chuffed like mad, and that's without the driver moving a whole lot. I originally had two RW-12d's and replaced them with SVS PC-12NSD's. That inspired me to match them in appearance, and the sub turned out to perform on par with the SVS. It now performs like what I thought it should.

Looking forward to seeing the project take shape.

I was referring to the II's. The guy I previously mentioned is keeping his and buying mine to keep the pair. I have RF-62 I and RF-62 II's... I can't tell a difference in sound.

How much for the center?

I have one that I used a center channel behind a screen and know another individual who did the same. We are both selling our single, black RF-62's in nearly new condition.

If I didn't already have a setup I really liked, I would be looking at those powered bookshelves. If this subwoofer gives up the ghost (since it powers my satellites) I'll likely get those powered monitors.

This all started because someone is selling something, then someone not interested in purchasing contacted them to give them unsolicited "advice"? Seriously? Advice is to be considered, not taken as instruction.

No problem. Good luck with your build. I actually enjoyed building mine and tried to make it look professional. I personally think it looked better than the SVS subs I had. I e-mailed Klipsch about seeing if they had any RT-12d drivers left as I wanted to try one in place of the RW-12d driver. I didn't get a response. I am curious to see what a more robust driver would do in the build. I actually built this on the bigger side in case I wanted or needed to replace with something beefier. I could just buy something from Parts Express, but I kind of like using the Klipsch drivers.

Any picture of the build?

Thank you. I used Loc-Tite PL Premium to glue the end caps into the tube based off recommendations of others who had built Sonosubs. I did end up with a 20 Hz tune, however, I originally spec'd it out to a 22 Hz tune, but the port tube was a little longer than the Sonosub program sized, so I figured I'd try it before cutting. After trying it and testing it, Ed at SVS told me to leave it alone and run it as-is. I used the Sonosub program found here: http://www.subwoofer-builder.com/sonosub.htm I use a PE BASH 300s for the amplifier and it is separate. I plan to make something for it, but looking to move this year and will worry about it after the move.

Old thread, but I just happened to come across it... Back in 2004, I had a Promedia GMX A-2.1 that I really liked and also ended adding their 8" add-on subwoofer. On my current computer setup, I bought a Logitech subwoofer/satellite setup knowing the satellites were crap, but the sub was great. I had an extra set of RSX-3's and replaced the Logitech satellites with those and I am extremely happy with the setup. I've probably been using this setup for 7 years. I do wish I had the black version though.

Thank you. I've been pretty happy with it and I really love the way it looks (and performs). It kinda makes me want to build another... But I have the urge to build a horn sub.

It's taken at seating position in an untreated room. The idea was to see how it compared to the SVS sub I had, which I think shows it holding its own.

About 5 years ago I ended up a with a spare Klipsch driver from an RW-12d and couldn't scratch the itch of wanting to build with it. I hadn't built a sonosub yet at this point and always wanted to try it, so I did. To be honest, I could never stand the RW-12d. I had two of them and they creaked and port chuffed like crazy, even without much woofer movement. That said, when the driver was put in a better box, it really did well. The box is roughly 3.5 cu/ft and tuned to 20hz. I am driving the woofer with a PE BASH 300s. Shortly before beginning this build, I purchased a couple SVS PC12-NSD's to replace the two RW-12d's I had. I tried to make this sub look a lot like them as well match their performance and I think I did well in both areas. It actually exceeded my expectations. I am moving this year and have no desire to have another theater, so I've sold of a few of my theater stuff including the SVS subs. The plan is to use this sub as my only sub in my living room along with a 2-channel of my RF-62's. My theater never got used and I prefer music, so 2-channel + a sub should suit me well. Parts gathered. After some work with a circle jig and router. Test fit and ready for finishing After sanding the overlapping spiral down and many coats of polyurethane inside and out to seal out moisture. Some damping and painting. Starting to look like the SVS. The wife sewed a sock out of velvet and used the same grill that SVS uses, however, I really don't put it on. Base plate coated in DuraTex... I actually just recently did this. For several years, it had an uncoated base plate. Complete! I have had a "Klipsch" emblem from my dad's old La Scala's (he's owned since new in '82) that he took off when he refinished them years ago that I was going to put on the base plate of this, but I seemed to have misplaced it. And some testing...
