Community Reviews

Klipsch's RP-1600 is a large, high-output subwoofer aimed at home theater impact, with comments calling its bass effortless, wall-shaking, and especially strong for movies. The 16 inch driver and big cabinet are repeatedly framed as the main draw, and the sub is praised for delivering serious performance at a lower price than some competing options. The main cautions are price, since past sales around $1,000 are still the benchmark, and size, since proper placement can be tricky. Shipping damage and an amp failure after two months also raise durability concerns.

Common Questions (5)

  • The refurb RP-1600 has been listed around $1,119, but it comes with a 90-day warranty and returns can require you to pay shipping. Ground shipping can be free at checkout, yet the refurb price is close enough to new-deal pricing that many would rather buy new.

  • A return to the $1,000 price is possible but not something to count on soon. The sub was $1,000 multiple times last year, but recent comments note the older $900 sales are unlikely and that RP subs have been backordered with fewer exclusive sales lately.

  • The RP-1600 is the bigger, ported theater-style option, while the SB3000 Revolution is a sealed sub with Bluetooth control and auto EQ. For movie watching and maximum output, the Klipsch is favored for sheer driver size and impact; for a smaller footprint and more tuning features, the SVS is the alternative.

  • There are reports of damaged boxes on arrival and at least one amp failure after about two months, with a long wait for a replacement amp. It is worth inspecting the carton on delivery and being prepared for possible warranty follow-up.

  • Yes. Owners describe the sub as effortlessly powerful, with two 16-inch units said to "crack your walls," and one user said a single unit was enough for a living room that opens into a kitchen.

Bit the bullet and decided to buy it. Been wanting this sub for a while. I know it's been cheaper but just been wanting it so whatever. Well it's been three weeks, finally arrives and it's all damaged. Didn't even bother taking it off the truck.
That sucks. Mine shipped from only a 4 hour drive away. Arrived in great shape.

Feel like I need to update. I played mine for 2 months and was very happy with it. But then the amp failed. One of the speaker terminals on the board burned off.

Klipsch is going to send a replacement amp, and I've been waiting for 2 months for that to arrive while the sub sits silently. Now I cant get them to respond to my emails.

Im not able to call during their regular hours because I work then. I think I'll contact my credit card and see what they say.

Interesting, I have usually seen good reports about Klipsch customer service with these subwoofer failures. Maybe they are having supply chain issues. But the 1600 is the one RP model others have reported amp problems with.
