WOW, those are nice!!!

I am refering to carpet vs. hardwood floor. Also depends on how sturdy the floor is. IMO, carpet does NOT absorb bass. My down-firing subs have side passive radiators.

Happy Birthday Kain.

[quote user="Jakeg123"]I realized that I forgot to mention that the sub will be in a all carpet room. I have heard that a down firing sub that fires right into carpet is bad. Any opinions? Is that another reason to get the RW-12d instead?[/quote] No, I really believe thats a phenomenon, I have down firing subs on carpet and they sound awesome. Creates more feel in the sound too. Its what YOU want though, not what everyone else wants/thinks.

Not on the west coast either but thanks, and Dollar Bill, could ya turn the darn 60Hz down geez.

Not in the same cat. The Klipsch would work better with 40watts as they are more efficient.

Thats too bad Jake, maybe if they wanted to make a sale they should hook them up so someone could listen to it.?.

In my time with both these subs, I found the Sub-12 to have more biff, bang, boom to it than the RW-12. Depending on room layout, placement of sub, etc, the RW-12 might be better suited for you with the front firing woofer and front port, although I heard port noise from the RW-12. The Sub-12 didn't have the port noise, or I didn't hear it as its rear ported.

Yes, get the RW-12d.
