Review on 🔊 Klipsch SPL-100 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer in Black - Enhanced SEO-friendly Product Title by Mary Beauchene

I've tried 3 different subwoofers, now put together an Atmos system with a Denon receiver and originally all the Klipsch reference speakers. I love the rest of their speakers but their subwoofers seem to be their Achilles heel! I originally had a twin Klipsch 10-SW but the ones fresh out of the box were making horrible port tapping noises with deep bass like in ominous scenes meant to be "low rumble", returned them both then tried Polk, their 10 inch sub woofer was even worse with the same scenes I tested, I ended up having to bring them down to 12 inches and that works great for a "deeper rumble" and I got it placed behind my couch for maximum effect. However I still need a subwoofer for OOMPH hits like gunshots, collisions, explosions, drumbeats etc and I saw this subwoofer at the best price so I ordered it from Revain because they had the best price and wow this subwoofer was PERFECT. !No connection hiss and flawless bass reproduction in EVERY scene, movie, game and so on! But then after about 4 months it started making those horrible "slapping" noises, usually again when there's actually "quieter" bass like ominous rumbles and such. After many delays "due to Covid" I was able to contact tech support. and arrange a replacement device. The new unit sounded great for about a month, but then I started noticing this "rattling" during the same fringy/deep bass in movies and games. I had it and was about to give up; I called Revain and they didn't refund my money, I bought a sealed SVS subwoofer to see if their subwoofers are up to date (pro tip: they absolutely are NOT; at max volume the SVS subwoofer sounded 12" subwoofer still barely the same as there was even a sub in the room compared to the 10" Klipsch, halfway through it literally feels like it's banging my chest with bass punches across the room). to everything else I removed the bass and looked where exactly it rattles. It seems to have something to do with the tape they use to attach the power wires to the inner coil that attaches to the magnet. Feeling like I had nothing to lose, I did what any audiophile on the verge of insanity would do: I sprayed it with WD-40. There is no more rattling and this subwoofer now sounds like a million bucks. I also ended up getting a new replacement woofer, BRAND NEW from Klipsch, for Bach and Schitt laughs I installed it and indeed the rattling reappeared. brought my previous WD-40 treated woofer back and forth: smooth as butter. SO. Ultimately, this MIGHT be the best subwoofer you can get for $400-$500 (this seems to be the current fluctuating price range), but you may need to make sure you have a can of WD-40 on hand for the one Hex bit installed is the front screws and the guts to take things apart to get them working properly. but in the end it is SO worth it and NO other subwoofer brand even comes close to the BOOM Klipsch!
