Reference Premiere RP-1000SW 10" High Excursion Subwoofer

I recently purchased the Klipsch RP-1000 SW subwoofer to complement my Klipsch RP-8000F II tower speakers for my home theater system and music setup. I couldn't be happier with how well they work together. Sound Performance: The crossover between the RP-1000 SW and the RP-8000F II speakers is perfectly balanced, delivering a dynamic and immersive experience. The bass response is impressive, adding the low-end punch needed for movies—particularly for action scenes where the bass really rattles the walls. It also performs wonderfully for music, providing depth and warmth without being overwhelming or muddy. Whether you're watching a film or listening to music, the sub's bass is clean and powerful, making it an essential part of my home theater setup. Build Quality: The cabinet is made with furniture-grade walnut laminate that looks fantastic. The dark wood grain finish blends nicely with my living room decor, and it feels solid and well-constructed. This sub is built to last, and the attention to detail in its design is evident. One thing to note is the size of the cabinet—this is a 10-inch subwoofer housed in an oversized enclosure. While this is great for performance, it also means the sub is not the most compact option available. If you have limited space, be aware that it sticks out about 8 inches beyond my entertainment center. For those with more room, however, it’s a perfect fit for delivering deep, rich bass. Controls: A nice touch on the back of the sub is the dual controls, which have magnifiers on top of the dials, making them easy to adjust and see from above. The knobs feel solid and are well-engineered, adding to the overall premium feel of the subwoofer. Final Thoughts: While the RP-1000 SW is the smallest in the RP line of subs, it delivers fantastic performance for small to medium-sized rooms. If you have the space and your receiver supports dual subwoofers, you could even purchase a second one for a truly immersive experience. For the price point, Klipsch offers top-notch quality, and this subwoofer is a perfect match for anyone looking to complete their Klipsch home theater system. If you’re aiming for that Klipsch theater sound, this sub is an excellent choice. Highly recommend it!

I’m blown away by this sub and it pairs well with the Klipsch the Sevens. I almost purchased the Klipsch 12” sub (RP-1200SW) but glad I didn’t. My listening room is about 15x15 and with the amount of bass this sub puts out the 12” would have been way overkill. I plan on moving this sub around the room to figure out the best position for it. I purchased a high quality 15’ shielded cable to run from my Sevens to the sub but I may need a little longer. Make sure you buy the appropriate cables for your amp or powered speakers. This sub is HUGE as well so plan on measuring in advance to make sure it’s fits your space. This sub absolutely sounds amazing and puts a huge smile on my face every time I hear it.

Good for listening to music. It brings out the depth in songs on the lower end. It doesn't over whealm you. The bass is tight and precise. Good for different music types.

My first Klipsch Sub was awesome so I had to have that sound again. I love Bass in my music and this Sub delivers. Klipsch is the only brand I own for all of my audio needs. You pay for the name but it's worth every cent. While it took a little time to get the sound right with my Denon receiver and it's automatic calibration of the speakers, I got it right. The sound is freaking awesome, powerful, and massive for only 10', this speaker knocks! Listening to Jazz, R&B, to Hip Hop, it can handle it all with ease. My BF thought it was a piece of luggage lol. Even at casual listening levels the bass is always present and their is no distortion at higher levels with the correct settings. My package came is a big box, on time. I've had it for less than a week and I couldn't be happier.

With this I upgraded from the Regular Reference 12 inch sub to this. Both sound great but the rumble of this feels a bit more intent and precise. I’m not an audiophile so I just go off my gut and my gut tells me that this cost a lot more than my last sub and that means it’s a lot better. The sub is HUGE though for a 10” woofer. It’s 24” deep with the grill on. Luckily I was able to remove the bottom shelf from my stand and it fit. Great sounding sub. The finish is also a lot nicer than the regular reference sub.

Hasn’t been fully functional yet

Always the best from Klipsch. I still have a 12 " down firing subwoofer still kicking since 2005. I recommend this new style extrusion cabinet and the speaker itself. You want real deep long term , long lasting subwoofer,, Klipsch is your trusted company. Paul Kiipsch, is and will remain a leader in speaker development. Best for the money. Take it from a former DJ, from the late70s, to the early90s. It works for the home like a professional would expect from Klipsch. Since 1947 Paul Klipsch, never let us down. Most Sincerely, JG.

Awesome subwoofer shakes my office! Take the time to dial in the settings with the sub and your speakers / receiver. Made a big difference once it’s dialed in correctly.

Tive alguns sub como fran(kkk),pionner(sw8-mk2) muito bom E um sunfire de 200wats RMS porém esse RP da klipsch é sensacional treme até a espinha sem distorce.Espero que dure (pelo ele tem tem 5 anos de garantia).

After two weeks of testing, the upgrade from the Klipsch R-100SW to the RP-1000SW has proven to be well worth it. The bass presentation shifted from boomy to tight, accurate, and well-controlled, with noticeably better detail and impact.

I bought this to replace the R10 SW I purchased in 2014. Klipsch never had an RP line sub until 2022 and the accuracy and overall tone for their subs was good but not great. This RP line changed that to now being great. Definitely goes down to 20 hrtz or a bit lower, so great for high impact explosions in HT movie watching, and very accurate and tight for music listening on all channel stereo. Actually, for music, these beat the SVS subs in the same price range… More accurate bass. For HT, SVS may go a bit lower (to 14 hrtz), but who cares? Dunno. As far as overall spectrum accuracy of bass, and musicality, this sub wins.
