I used a RT12 that i borrowed for some time, and it was already broken in, and it took a beating with no problems,Like the ear mentioned you have a problem some wheres.

Dont listen to the SVS pushers,Many are just trolls on here,There are plenty of subs on the market that kill ,and whip the svs subs up side down.Now if we know what you want to spend that would help.I have heard plenty of svs subs that people purchased and got sucked in to buying one or 2,and ended up selling them off cheap.I tried out a few including the ultra and double fart box and thought they were a big joke! Now the klipsch rts are nice subs,But they need a little work setting up.

For your air leaks ,#1 Take one of your grills off,Now your grills are held on with pegs that go into rubber grommets in several locations,#2 Pull one rubber plug out with your fingers,most are just loose,#3 Place one hand to the rear, and push in and out on the passive rad,Place your big face in front of the little hole you see where you removed the grommet,BINGO-- see the air that you lost,Really the cabinet is not sealed properly because the air will just escape around the rubber plugs when you play the fortes.Klipsch should off thought about this for the passive to work better,The purpose of a passive is to have a good sealed box,Now this is a good fix so you really hear the low end from the passive ,remove the front 12" driver.get some silcone (clear) (or the yellow construction glue for the inside only),For each hole put a good amount on the end of your finger,go into the cabinet and cover each hole,make sure you look in the hole on the outside to make sure you did,Now, the plug will not go all the way to the end on the inside when you insert it,now for each plug put a little silicone around each one and push them in.take your time and you will do a nice job so you dont have silcone squeezing out,Let dry for 24 and you will have a properly sealed cabinet,that is if your seals are ok behind the tweeters and drivers.Now your passive will truly work better with the front woofer.After this is done you can hear a noticable difference in low end performance.

Why do you want them removable?,Stick them to the bottom,Bull dog construction glue.You want the bottom to be as firm as it can be.Go around the inner with glue as well using your finger,If you want to know about more mods for forte let me know.any thing from solving air leaks to tweets.klipsch forgot many things when building these.

A good fit and even better driver is this one http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=290-456

Ok ,I will trade you for my JL.,Well maybe LOL

98_1LE_2 I like the little Asus laptop better,Just kidding,Enjoy the sub !!

Any fancy package ,people will get hooked,Kills me all the garbage they even write on the package,just use your home made cable.Yes i have a big buck sub and a home made cable[]

Congrats ballenone on your sub,Yes,like the end of shopping for a sub for your room.Not ownly will it take your breath away,It rattles your teeth and takes them to.[]

I have my sub so i can drown out the front speakers,This way i have something to complain about to the wife ,to get new front speakers.[]

I will bring over my sub and see if you hear any pops,LOL.Your sub maybe setup on the hot side,turn her down.

Do you save Egg cartons at all ?,they do wonders,Glue them weldbond-- to a board behind the sub and place the board about 12" away from the driver where you are placing the sub.

Exactly, I tried to give the guy a chance.I dont see the Ear or any one else fighting with me.

7 th grader went out to buy a 11G + tax Gotham,Nice to see Jay cant sleep at night knowing some one has something better than him.Do I see you are a touch jealious,What does it matter if i show you or not? You must eat your meat and grow up buddy ! Then we can feed you your pudding.

Oh Mr penis head, Jay481985 I think i got you all upset about having a Gotham,You mention penis quite often i notice.You must have many moments playing with your Penis ,LOL.And for spelling corrections,You may correct them for me,Please ask if the Ear would like his posts error corrected as well,I do notice mistakes in many posts from others also,But I dont go and make a fool of a member,As for the Ear ,Thank you for educating the fabrication and quality in JL audio.Jay I can see has no knowledge in this product or other audio.
