Has anyone compared this sub to a Klipsch Sub-12HG Synergy Series 12-Inch 300-Watt Subwoofer?

I haven't heard the Klipsch sub-woofer you are referring to, but at any rate I would expect the Klipsch to cost at least twice as much. This Yamaha Sub is designed for music listening. If you are looking for a sub with punch for a Home Theater, check Out the Definitive Technology ProSub 1000, which you can get at crutchfield.com. You can also better compare the subs at crutchfiled.com.

I agree with the Klipsch SW-350. It's a good subwoofer for the price. I also recommend looking into the SVS subwoofers, with SVS you get the most bang for your buck IMO. If you call SVS they will advise you on which sub to get to best match your budget, room and speakers. Congratulations on you Quintet speakers!

Yes, the SUB1200 is by far the best value sub in the $150 or less range. You get more power and a deeper range, which gets you much closer to that true movie theater bass.

I have 1 in a standard sealed enclosure and it is AMAZING. Very clean crisp bass with plenty of power. The shop I had it installed at actually started carrying these subs to sell after hearing the power this sub had in a small enclosure with only 800w pushing. I would make the switch IF crisp bass is what your after (I listen to all kinds of music and need it to compliment rap/rock/pop/dub step). If shaking the vehicle next to you is your only goal go ported.

For the same price as the Klipsch SW-350 have a look at this sub's review at http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/speaker-subwoofer-reviews/87625-bic-acoustech-h-100ii-subwoofer-review.html.

I am using a Polk Audio RM-7 "8 inch powered sub woofer. My room is only 12X15 and my wife hates it! She is not a fan of a lot of bass. But when she's not around, and I turn it up, it is more than enough. The Yamaha, it seems to me, has less bass output in its normal configuration than my old Onkyo system, but you can adjust it easier with the Yamaha. I would think any good name Sub would do fine.

Don't be concerned with the max watts but instead with the rms. I have a 300 watt rms rated amp on this sub in my ranger and it sounds great

I got the Klipsch 10 inch subway it's great. They had two different series but I got the one that cost more. The 12 inch sub you will need a huge room or cut the volume down

Definitely a better speaker than the Infinity and Klipsch. I would not but Klipsch because their speakers tend to miss out on mid-range. The Polks will work better with higher end receivers and will shine with separate amplifiers.

None is better than the other. Both units will rattle anything in its sonic path. I would recommend anti-vibration pads on any decor that is vertical. At his price range, you can't go wrong with either. I know from experience that Polk customer service is top notch. I haven't dealt with Klipsch customer service so far.

Are you asking if these are OK to use with a 130 watt amp as the only speakers, without a Sub or a center channel? My answer would be "yes" but you don't want to crank it up all the way. However, because Klipsch speakers tend to be more efficient, you probably wouldn't want to pump the maximum watts into these speakers because it would be too loud, unless you are into REALLY load music. I wouldn't worry so much about the amp rating, I would be more worried about the balanced sound output. I would find a subwoofer of some type to add to these for a balanced sound. They are great down to about 100 Hz, below that they fall off pretty fast. But, if you're not into bass, then they will do fine alone.

I think the sub system is 200watts. I have not tried the others. This one sounds really good and the sub is not huge if space is an issue.

Just search google klipsch sub 12hg manual it will come up from a few different places to download.

For what it's worth, I have not heard the Klipsh system but recently purchased the Energy Take Classic 5.1 system. The speakers are quite small and I'm sure you get better sound than the Micro system. Unless you really have a confined set-up arrangement I would go with the Take Classic's. Combined it with the Yamaha RX-V371 single zone receiver which produces 100w per side and plenty of inputs/outputs and options. Together they sound very clear with enough low end for my taste. All in the system cost $700 including additional cables. BTW, Energy is owned by Klipsch, so you probably will not go wrong with either system. Detailed audiophiles might disagree with my assessment, but everyone has their own take. Good luck and good listening.

I was disappointed in the Klipschs due to a thumpy bass sound. Both speakers have a pronounced peak at 70Hz with the bass turned up. Turning down the bass on the Logitechs eliminates this peak while turning it down on the Klipschs doesn't. Otherwise the frequency responses are very similar except that the Logitechs also have a another peak around 40Hz with the bass turned up. While I haven't heard the Logitechs, the specs suggest that one should be able to get a flatter bass response by adjusting the control.
