Klipsch R-101SW 10 Inch Front-Firing Powered 150W TCP Subwoofer

The Klipsch R-101SW is a compact 10-inch powered subwoofer that adds deep, controlled bass to home theater, music, and gaming systems without overwhelming the room.

If your current speakers sound clean but lack real low-end weight, the Klipsch R-101SW is an easy upgrade that brings more impact and fullness to everyday listening. Its 10-inch spun-copper TCP woofer and 150W all-digital amplifier are built to deliver tight, distortion-free bass, while the front-firing design makes placement more flexible in living rooms, bedrooms, and media spaces. With low-pass crossover, phase control, and Line/LFE inputs, it integrates smoothly with a wide range of AV receivers and stereo systems.
