ApEx Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I just built a room in my basement that is made for my up comming Home Theater Setup.Something Im still debating about is, what Subwoofer should I get. Im either looking at getting the RW-12 or the Synergy Sub-12. I read some things in other post about how if you are in the basement then the RW-12 sub is better, but I have a full padded and carpeted floor so really it is no different then upstairs. What do you think I should do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scp53 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I personally think there is no drastic difference between down firing and front firing. If possible, Id suggest demoing each in your house. Then take back the one you like the least. If you cant do this or dont want to, Id get the sub12. I think sq is definetly on par with the rw12. The sub 12 also has 4dB more at 30hz over the rw12(according to klipsch specs. klipsch test all sub models the same I beleive...). Thats quite a bit. If nothing else, look at 4dB as more head room= lower distortion. scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApEx Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks for the advice. I think Im going to be going with the Sub-12. It has been the subwoofer Ive been looking at alot anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remotia Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have owned both, the RW-12 is a little deeper and cleaner, also has more features and its certainly prettier to look at, but he Sub-12 has more output and slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a close call, but if i had to choose, i would go with the next generation of the RW-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
