About the R-8SW
The Klipsch R-8SW is a compact powered subwoofer designed for small to medium rooms, using an 8-inch down-firing copper IMG (injection-molded graphite) woofer in a bass-reflex cabinet. It is built to deliver deep bass while remaining easy to place, with line/LFE inputs, variable low-pass crossover, phase control, and auto power on/off. It is also sold under the Jensen (Klipsch) naming in some listings, but the product itself is the Klipsch Reference R-8SW subwoofer.
