radchad3 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi everyone, first post!! Anyways, wanted to get an opinion on subs. I have a 12X16 foot room, 9 foot ceilings, listen to 80/20 HT vs music. I really want a sub that I can FEEL!! Anyways, I have heard VERY good things about the LFM-1 and I can get one for 525 shipped. Now, I can also get the RSW-12 for about 850 total. Is the RSW THAT much better. Several people I have talked to have said that the LFM-1 would hang with or beat the RSW in a head to head cometition. I was hoping someone would be able to shed some light on these two subs!! Thanks all for your time!! Chad OOOOPS sorry, this goes in the subwoofers section.....sorry about that!!!

SteelerFan Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 With you being so biased toward HT over music I'd guess the LFM-1 might be the way to go for you, especially in light of the fact the Outlaw is $325 cheaper. Take my advice with a grain of salt, I don't own either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Welcome RadChad, If you want to be bad, the RSW needs to be had, to shake the nads' and be obscenely Rad. Just my opinion. I have the RSW-12 and it is a thumper. I don't know anything about the Outlaw you are referring. Good luck in your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivadselim Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 like steeler fan speculated, they are different subs. each one is probably really adept at what it does best. the rsw will most likely have better thump for music, but the lfm1 will dig deeper for those really visceral movie scenes.

Zen Traveler Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 It appears that the Outlaw lfm-1 is a down firing sub that uses a 325 watt Bash amp with 1300 watt peaks. The RS12 uses a 625 watt Bash amp with 2400 watts of dynamic power. {edit: The RSW is rear Firing}Both have variable crossovers from 40 to 120. The stated bandwidth of the Klipsch Rsw-12 is 22 Hz-120 Hz. I couldn't find those numbers for the Outlaw. From Personal experience the RSW-12 sounds excellent for music and movies. Not only does it thump for movies--It is also tight for music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I have the RSW 12 and it does great with both music and movies. Just saw Master and Commander and it is a excellent soundtrack to give a sub some action. Cannot comment on the other sub. Xman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malechi Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I have the LFM-1 and I like it a lot. I never had the RSW-12. I only heard it in the store. I think they are both comparable. In response to the other guys post, Frequency Response of the LFM-1: 25Hz. - 180Hz. +/- 2 dB. You can always order the LFM-1 and try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
