What powered sub is the best match

[cmenomore]

I just bought the Rf82 and I am picking up the Rc62 on Sat. What would the best match for a 12" sub?

That question is the proverbial "can of worms".

I got my sub last year after a few months of research....... I am still completely satified with my purchase.

You need to figure out many things:

1. How big is your room?

2. What will you be doing (HT or Music or 50/50?)

3. What kind of design do you prefer? (Sealed; ported; baffle; folded horn; in wall/ infinite baffle, etc?)

4. How big do you want the sub to be?

5. Price point?

6. Is there a significant other that may influence your decision?

Start by checking out Epik; SVS; Hsu, Emotiva, Elemental Designs, Parts Express (Their DIY subs are a great value).

Klipsch subs are good too (The really expensive ones); but my opinion is there is more bang for buck out there to be had.....

Good Luck

Your question is to vague need to know your budget before can really give an opinion.

Room specs are much more important than speaker make/model for subwoofers. Budget is also huge (can go from $100.00 used to an obscene amount for a 12 inch sub). That said, Klipsch does recommend the RW-12d for it's RF-82 surround system. I have the RF-82s and got two RW-12ds. I am very satisfied with that!!! The reason for two was due to the 24 foot depth of my room. I wanted more sub for carrying the sound, though that isn't necessarily a requirement. The RW-12d retails around $900.00. It isn't uncommon to find them listed for about $500.00 per on-line, but I bought mine (one new and one used) for $350.00 and $250.00 respectively. I would think for "bang-for-your-buck" you need to be at or below $500.00 for that sub, otherwise there are better subs to be had at that price point.

FYI, dual RW-12ds do look really cool on the front sound stage with the RF-82s!
