Wolter Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hello fellow Klipsch fans, I need some subwoofer advice from you experienced people. I'm looking at buying the Klipsch RW12 since that's the only subwoofer I can afford. The room size is about 14 by 14 feet and it has a carpet floor, I will mainly use it for music because I dont have the surround speakers for movies yet. I'm going to use it on my Onkyo TX SR 604 receiver and with two floorstanding speakers they stop at about 35 Hz. Will the RW12 keep up in this room size? Will it sound good on a carpet floor? I think I have a few more questions but I forgot at the moment. And BTW this is going to be my first subwoofer. Thanks for the reply's Wolter.

wuzzzer Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 What price can you get the RW12 for? That will help us know what advice to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The RW12 is a fine starter sub,goes quite deep and has good output,carpet or no carpet. Be sure to position it or any sub alongside the front wall(to your sitting)where you have a nice wall,midway.Out of corners,this position works best for many subs.Corner placement creates too many irregularities in response. What price can you get a RW12,if I may ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Do you need a 230 Volt model? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thanks for the reply's, I can get it for less then 400 euro's thats about 400 USD I believe, and normally they cost around 700 euro's here. And yes I need the 230 volt version. Edit: And BTW what does 1/8 space mean? Wolter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 1/8 space refers to room placement at intersection of 2 walls and floor. If you suspend speaker in mid air, it tries to radiate into a complete sphere on floor 1/2 sphere floor/wall boundary 1/4 sphere floor/wall/wall corner 1/8 sphere. The adjacent walls act like horn, and reinforce some frequencies. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thanks again for the reply, So if i understand correctly, "1/8 space" means measured on the floor and in the corner? And for the last question to stop bothering you people:P, 14 by 14 feet isn't to big for the RW12 and I can still play it pretty loud? Thanks again. Wolter.
