This stylish and reliable subwoofer, encased in durable ebony vinyl, is a testament to Klipsch's reputation for producing top-tier audio equipment.
Experience the groundbreaking acoustic technology that makes this subwoofer one of the best in Klipsch's illustrious line. The Reference Premiere subwoofers are designed to strike the perfect balance between amplifier power, driver capability, and cabinet volume, ensuring maximum output, intricate detail, and extended frequency range.
The redesigned Cerametallic woofers are a marvel of engineering, offering superior power and efficiency that outshines the competition. The high-efficiency Class D amplifier, complete with an analog preamp design, maintains the original signal path for a cleaner, true-to-source reproduction, while the Class D output stage guarantees maximum output, detail, and low-frequency power.
The Reference Premiere subwoofer features a front-firing driver, allowing for flexible placement without compromising on sound quality. The proprietary internal geometry, coupled with a new Aerofoil front slot port, minimizes turbulence for crisp, tight bass.
The subwoofer comes with easy-to-use controls, including a low-pass crossover and variable phase, enabling you to tune your subwoofer to your Klipsch speakers for the ideal level of bass. Exceptional efficiency on and off reduces your energy costs, while the ability to use both RCA and wireless inputs simultaneously offers the flexibility to use a single subwoofer with multiple systems.
The Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately) offers high-resolution wireless connectivity for easy placement anywhere in your room. Conne |

Also, the rubber klipsch blades already seem like they dampen quite a bit. You already have a down vote so I'm not the only skeptical one.

I run dual UM18-22's with a NX6000 amp sending 1300w/ea in small sealed enclosures and I can hit 95decibels flat to 10hz in a massive 40x15 room, which is good enough for me.
I always recommend two or more subwoofers and a MiniDSP to tune them. DSP with mutliple subs will make the most difference. You can't get even sound with just one sub. It's almost impossible.
For the price, dual 16 inch klipsch is very tempting. But I prefer the flexibility of DIY. I can always swap mine to ported enclosures if I want to destroy the house.
If you're just buying one, go with the Klipsch. It's easier and will perform better with just one. If you plan to sell, you'll also get your money back.

Here's one of mine:

This is a serious sub... it's not a "get for your apartment" sub. I have this in my basement theater room and I'm quite certain my neighbors can feel it despite the fact that I only have it on 6 or 7.
(Also, you're generalizing a LOT with what the human body can and cannot do. Plenty of people can hear down to 12 hz [wikipedia.org] and higher than 20 Khz... but apparently not in your world.)
klipsch warranty is shorter than HSU. klipsch is 2 years (Electronics) / 5 years on driver. HSU warranty is longer with 2 years (Electronics) / 7 years on the driver. customer service is also much better with HSU.
as far as frequency response they are right about the same. klipsch goes down to 14Hz (+/- 3dB, while the HSU is rated at 17Hz (+/- 2dB) so a tighter range.
looks wise that is a personal preference, but the HSU wins on form factor with a much more compact case (Width and depth). HSU are great subs for the money.
