jjworleyeoe Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 My current Klipsch speaker config is: KSB-3.1 fronts KSF-C5 center KSF-S5 surrounds I'm looking to add a powered subwoofer as I near completion of my dedicated home theater with a 106" screen. My required placement will be front-left, and I like the RW Series with the forward firing woofer. The room is located in my basement, is well insulated, has one 36" door and two 36 pocket doors that can be closed, and has a ceiling height of 8'9". A reasonalbe amount of accoustic absorbing treatment will be added to the dry walls. I've heard great things about the RW Series subwoofers, but I'm not sure if the 8 will be too small or the 10 too large. The price difference really isn't an issue. I've never owned a power subwoofer before, so I have no idea how to logically decide between the two sizes. Thanks! -jworley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougdrake Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 If you can swing it, I'd go for the 12". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard the 8, but demo'ed the 10 and 12, and, well the RW-12 is the choice! My room is 17' x 23' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om13934 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I own the RW12 and demoed both the 10 and 12 while trying to decide on which to get. There is definately a performance increase in the 12 over the 10. I wouldn't even consider the 8. If possible, go for the 12, if not take the 10.

Andre_Roy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hey My vote....the RW-12 , Great sub at a great price, If you realy want to rumble, check out the RSW-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rphjls Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Go with RW-12 ... I have a room of similar size but with a 20' ceiling. I demoed the 10 - it was good - but based on all of reviews -- I said what the hell and ordered the 12. Should have it in about a week. Check out the post on RW10 or 12 vs Polk PSW12.
