got rice Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hello, I'm new to the forum and in the market for a new SW, however its been a while since I made my last purchase. SW-10 (circa 1993) From what I've been reading these are the two that I have narrowed it down to fit my budget. The Best Buy, Circuit City's etc in my area have the SUB- 10,but not the RW-10d.So I have no idea what the RW-10d sounds like. I an leaning to the RW-10d for the IR feature which allows the user to change the settings for movies and music. BTW Acoustic Designs have the RW-10d NIB for $419.00 shipped. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 None of the above mentioned. Get the Sub12. Should be around the same as the RW10d, if not cheaper. If you're completely sold on a 10", get the RW10d.............. But I say go with the Sub12. It's hard to get more sub than that for that price!

Rich_Guy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have the RW-12d and love the IR feature. It's great to be able to use my remote to control the sub and I use my remotes macro to automatically change settings when I switch between home theater or listening to music. I use a URC MX-850 remote. My next sub will probably be an RSW-10d or RSW-12d, I definitely love the IR capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got rice Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 The media room this is going in is carpeted, with the SUB-12 it was my understanding this was a down firing sub and the sound would get muffled. Am i correct in this assumption. I certainly wouln't mind spending the extra $50.00 to $100.00 if it was going to make a signifigant difference in the overall sound quality/product. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got rice Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Rich_guy Do you know if theURC MX-850 is compatible with a Yamaha Rx-v 3800 receiver. That is something I definitley would like to do with the IR function. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 The Sub 12 would do fine on a carpeted floor. Also, the RW10D isn't down firing, but it is ported towards the ground. I recommended Sub12 because sound/thump wise it's a far superior sub to the RW10D. But on the other hand, if you're wanting the IR function, then get the 10. But if you want more bass, get the Sub 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have a RW10d for sale if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something I definitley would like to do with the IR function. Thanks It should be able to, the Yamaha IR codes needed are probably already in the remotes data base if there are any codes which are not I am sure they could be learned. BTW, I contacted Klipsch to get the IR codes to control the sub, they sent me an email with the codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got rice Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Man, now I'm on the fence.Tommyboy you really got me going back and forth. I can appreciate your opinion since you own both. On one hand I like the IR feature, on the other hand I know me. Me like BASS. Will anyone else help me with this decision? Any other thoughts or Opinions?

nezff Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I like the RW10d because of the digital readout and the IR functions. You cant go wrong with it, plus its cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

got rice Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I just placed my order for the SUB-12 with Acoustic Sound Design for $399.99 out the door. I appreciate all the responses, really helped me in my decision. P.S. CECCAA850- That sub brought back memories of the Bazooka tube I had in the back of my golf GTI cruisin the strip when I was a teenager. Those were the days. The Klipsch brand has been really good to me over the years, so I am fully committed to their success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
