Hutch1814 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm not a newbie when it comes to home theater but I am when it comes to klipsch. Love my system but I'm lacking in the sub side. I currently have the icon series. KF-28's and the KC-25 for the front and a KS-14's for surrounds. My room is 11X21 and I currently have a PDR-10 that just isn't giving me that "holy crap" feel during explosions and intense movie moments. My sitting spot is about 16 feet from the front with the rears mounted behind me. I'm currently looking at the SW-450 due to how impressed with klipsch I've been. I was wondering if this would would be a good fit or is there something else I should look at? My floors are hardwood so I don't know if that helps or hurts a down firing sub. Looks like from what I've read it's a 50/50 with sub types. Any help would be awesome! And thanks in advance, glad I found this forum! Helped me understand so much already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The SW-450 is a nice sub with clean deep bass. The SW-450 is a 10 in sub, consider a 12 or 15 in. for more extension. It sounds like you have a fairly large room. How large is it and what is you budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch1814 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Exact measurements are 11 1/2 ft wide by 21 1/2 ft long. Obiviously I sitting long ways. The sub currently sits in the front left corner bit I also have a 4-5 ft space in the back behind the sofa where I was considering putting the sub I have. Money is tight. After buying everything in about 2 months time the boss (wife) isn't to thrilled to begin with. That's why I was thinking the 450 as well. I'm not much of a music listener unless I'm cleaning around the house but even then it's not very loud. More HT then anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hutch, Where are you located? Don't hesitate to look for used subwoofers on your local craigslist. I was able to find a $3300.00 Revel B15 located less than an hour away for $450.00. To this day, the best bang for the buck purchase I have ever made.

K5SS Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We have your room size, now what's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch1814 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm located in Gas City Indiana. 450-550 was what I was expecting to spend. What's every bodies take on subs? Front or down firing? Having the semi-large room the long room has to have a better option of one or the other, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 up your budget by 50 bucks and go for dual rw-12d's from new egg when they are on sale! you will be in heaven. and duals are just awesome!!! 600 well spent...NEXT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrinh9 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That is what I am going to run two rw-12d for my ht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 A couple of PA 150 and you would be good to go. The Premier Acoustic PA 150 is a monster as far as overall output. Excellent sound quality for HT or music. I have this paired with my Epik Legend and they make awesome duo. You would have to go over the $700-800 range for a better sub IMO.

Hutch1814 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wish I could, I'd hate to see what you even want for that beast! Jealous, yes! Unfortantly wifey has me on a leash as she wants a new privacy fence for our backyard (2 city lots) and it won't be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddog359 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The offer still stands. If you can hold out and save a little. I am not actively selling it so I will have it for a while, its just sitting packed up in its box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
