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.

  • The subwoofer can deliver very high impact when using dual 16-inch units for home theater listening.

  • The SVS SB3000 alternative offers wireless dialing and auto EQ features, which can be a practical benchmark for setup convenience.

  • The Klipsch RP-1600 can play effortlessly and meet movie-focused needs in a living room that opens into a kitchen.

  • The Klipsch RP-1600 can be a strong option when a receiver already provides bass management for subwoofer integration.

  • Refurbished RP-1600 purchases carry a 90-day warranty and require the buyer to pay shipping for returns.

  • Shipping handling can result in a damaged subwoofer on arrival, including cases where the box is badly impacted.

  • The $1299.99 price can be inflated versus prior $1000 sales, making the deal less attractive for inflation-adjusted comparisons.

  • An amp failure can occur after about two months, and replacement support can take weeks while the sub remains unusable.

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.
