Just wondering if anyone has ever owned, or currently owns a pair of KPT-884-SW subwoofers. I'll be hooking up a pair soon and curious what amps have been used to drive them? Any experimentation out there? Looking for some major PUNCH! I want to feel the bass thump my chest!

I bought these theater subwoofers with the intention of using them for music, and music only. Tired of being disappointed by 12" & 15" so called subwoofers that do not deliver.

Ever been to a concert and you actually feel the tom toms? That point when the bass guitar pushes vibration through you?

This is my final attempt at subwoofers before purchasing Jubilee's or something from another maker.

I’ve used the crown pro amps with them and the kpt-484 subs and they hit hard and work very well with as little as 100 watts from the little Marantz mono blocks
The crown Microtech amps will light them up for you


Dollar for dollar Klipsch has no equals
Name one other speaker company that can build a speaker and keep working like new after 45 plus years of service. Answer NO ONE !!!!!!

If you want good chest thump you need good mains and a stout amp to push them.  It's normally in the 50 to 70 or 80 Hz range where you feel it.
