Klipsch RP-1600SW 16" High Excursion Subwoofer

Overview

The Klipsch RP-1600SW is the flagship of the Reference Premiere subwoofer line, built around a 16-inch Ultra Long Throw Cerametallic woofer driven by a high-efficiency Class D amplifier rated at 800 watts RMS and 1600 watts peak. Its front-firing driver and Aerofoil slot port let it deliver deep, controlled bass down to 14.5Hz while giving you full freedom of placement.

Why This Model Matters

When Klipsch says a subwoofer is worthy of the Reference Premiere name, the RP-1600SW is what they mean. It strikes an aggressive balance between amplifier power, driver excursion, and cabinet volume for reference-grade output that anchors large home theaters and full-range music systems. The analog preamp design keeps the signal path clean while the Class D output stage supplies effortless headroom.
