I've tried just about everything, and couldn't make them not boomy, including putting it in the exact space where the R-120SW was, setting them to invert, and calibrating them.. the R-12SW was just boomy no matter the positioning or setup of it.

I'm pretty familiar with home theaters and running a large setup (7 surround, 3 subs, 4 atmos ceiling and 4 bass shakers) so I ended up keeping them just to add a bit more punch to the room before getting the bass shakers.. they'll definitely make it shake, but they don't have the same tight punch the R-120's will get you, and both of them behaved the exact same way no matter what I did
I hear bad things about the wireless unit and amp in these lower end Klipsch subs.
That being said, Ive been running the wired version of this sub, the R12SW with my RP 600Ms for over a year now. Its a very boomy sub, not exactly clear bass but itll shake your house (to each their own, the GF loves it). I have mine set at 30% and it still rattles the walls.

Same experience here. Picked up 2x of the R-12SW after loving the R-120SW (newer model). The 120 is much tighter bass while the 12 is mostly just boomy. It'll shake the walls, it'll make the couch and floors rumble in movies, but it's not too enjoyable. I also keep mine around 30%

The R-120SW goes on sale a couple times a year for $200. It doesn't have wireless, but the bass is much better than the 12.

I have the wired and wireless. (I'm running 7.2) and they both work great

Boomy sound has to do with sub not properly set to room.

I got this 2 weeks ago for around $250. Sounds great, had ordered a 15 foot sub wire but the wireless is great so I returned it. I use this with Klipsch Fives.

No sound bar. I have a Center channel speaker, front L/R, back L/R , surround L/R and two subs. I also have two additional speakers connected to my front l/r firing up for Atmos. 11 total speakers.
