Same family: the Klipsch RP-1000SW (smaller subwoofer, rated 3.6/5), the Klipsch RP-1200SW (smaller subwoofer, rated 3.8/5) and the Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-1400SW (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, estimated 4/5).

Pros: A 16 inch ported subwoofer with deep, strong bass for large home theaters, still sold new. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 112.5 dB at 20 Hz and 120.4 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, front enclosure with 16” (406mm) driver has the headroom for demanding film bass in a large room.

Cons: The 594.1H x 596.9W x 694.7D mm cabinet and 50.3 kg mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment. Ported output does not solve room modes, so careful placement and calibration remain essential.
