Woofers in the Closet, and a Salute to Johnny Olson

Daily Photo

This blog serves two purposes today.  The first, to show you the closet where our loudest and most vigorous testing takes place.

The second, to illustrate why I love working here.  When I emailed product manager Jim asking him to explain what is being tested in this picture, this is exactly how he responded:

Emcee: Amy, you could win this…

 

Announcer: It’s the shiny new RW-5101-C 10” Cerametallic™ cone, in-ceiling passive subwoofer. (Applause) The RW-5101-C is the newest member of the Klipsch Reference 5000 Series architectural speakers. This fantastic subwoofer is designed for use only with the RSA-500 amplifier. Add deep bass to your custom installed home theater with the RW-5101-C from Klipsch!!!!

 

Emcee: Ok Amy, you get a chance to win that prize right now. It’s time to play PLINKO!!!!!

 

Happy Friday, everyone!

In-Ceiling subwoofer!  Now that's a Great Idea for rooms with limited floor space especially!

Thanks for showing us this AMY.

Does the subwoofer require an attic (or empty unused room) to be on the other side of the ceiling to work correctly, or can I mount it in the ceiling of my converted basement?  Everyone I know who has a dedicated music / theater room is using a converted basement...

Ray-- It has its own enclosure so the space above the ceiling doesn’t matter. However, it is deep so you want to make sure you have the depth to install it – around 9.1”. That should work in most standard ceilings with 2 x 10 joists and ½” drywall.
