thxsubwoofers Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hey I just got my RW-12 and I have notice that the new Klipsch Synergy subwoofer is running 300 rms and a total of 600 watts. The RW-12 subwoofer is running 340 rms and 600 total watts. I was woundering which is a better buy. Also I have one more question for the Sub-12 model what is the woofer cone made out of.

DrWho Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=930&s=specs http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=654&s=specs It looks like the Sub-12 has more output (117dB versus 113dB). At least I highly doubt the RW-12 has a sensitivity of 113dB (perhaps it is a mislabeled spec). I know of no 12" driver in the world that can boast something like that. If the spec is true, then klipsch is claiming 140dB with the RW-12 (which again is "impossible"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deon Bearden Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The page is being corrected - it is NOT a 'sensitivity' spec. It's peak continuous output capabillity, 1/8'th space 1 meter. Thanks for catching the typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sub-12 undermines the rw-12 a bit, but I'm not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
