i have personally seen a lot of amp failures with their previous models. time will tell if they have made improvements in that area.
2 years on the electronics and 5 years on the driver
while the spec says 18Hz that is very misleading because there is no +/- range. in real world usage expect down to about 25Hz (+/- 3dB - typical range for "flat" response). the difference between 18 and 25Hz is significant.
RSL subs are a bit different. they use a compression guide tuning to reduce port noise and improve low end performance. their products can easily outperform subs with larger drivers.
they produce equipment in batches based on demand to keep costs down (no expensive inventory to house). from time to time they will be on backorder but usually within a month they are back in stock. keep an eye out as they also run group buy programs so you can save even more.
bang for the buck RSL subs are hard to beat.

Then again I was even underwhelmed with 2x UM-18's in 10ft3 ported boxes powered with a Nike 6kdsp tuned.
I've had svs, I've had monolith, I've had Klipsch, I've had diy. The laymen knows no difference in sound other than if the output is tremendously different. (Ie: going from a 100w 8" sub to a 1000w 15" sub, the. Obviously it's not a fair fight.
These larger reference subwoofers are genuinely exciting. They're probably the best speakers (not just subwoofers) Klipsch has ever produced, and they're very competitively priced right now.
I have the RP-1600SW and I'm seriously thinking about grabbing this to pair with it. Like others have said, there's seriously nothing close to it at this price.

Thank You.
Thank You.
There is a lot of placebo affect that goes on with stuff like this.
It's like cars. People swear they gain like 50hp with an intake or muffler swap, and sometimes they lose HP, but think they gained because the car is louder.

Again, groundbreaking? People were just as hype on the SPL-150 a couple years ago.
There is always something better for just a couple hundred more at every level.
