Klipsch RP-1400SW Subwoofer - 14" 1000-watts Subwoofer
Klipsch RP-1400SW 14" High Excursion Subwoofer
The Klipsch RP-1400SW 14" High Excursion Subwoofer is built for listeners who want truly deep, room-shaking bass without sacrificing speed, control, or musical detail. The Klipsch RP-1400SW is part of the Reference Premiere II Series. Its 14-inch ultra long throw Cerametallic™ driver and high-efficiency Class D amplifier with an analog preamp stage deliver clean, hard-hitting low frequencies that bring movie soundtracks to life and give music real weight and texture. A front-firing Aerofoil slot port helps keep bass tight and minimizes turbulence, so you get powerful output with less noise—plus flexible placement in real-world rooms. With simple tuning controls and WA-2 wireless kit capability (sold separately), it’s an easy upgrade for serious home theater and high-performance stereo systems.
What It's Good At:
- Delivering ultra-deep, cinematic bass that you can feel (ideal for home theater)
- Producing high output with clarity for big rooms and demanding listening levels
- Keeping bass tight, fast, and low-distortion for music as well as movies
- Offering placement flexibility thanks to a front-firing driver and front slot port design
- Making integration easy with dual RCA/LFE inputs and tuning controls (low pass/phase)
- Enabling clean installs with WA-2 wireless connectivity support (optional kit sold separately)

Klipsch RP-1400SW Q&A:
- What kind of room is the RP-1400SW best for?
- It’s an excellent fit for medium-to-large rooms where you want deep extension and high output, especially for home theater impact and full-range music listening.
- Can I connect it to an AV receiver using an LFE/Sub Out?
- Yes. Use the receiver’s Subwoofer/LFE output into the RP-1400SW’s L/LFE input for the most common home theater connection.
- Does it work with stereo preamps or receivers without a dedicated sub output?
- Yes. If your system provides left/right pre-outs, you can connect both channels to the subwoofer’s RCA inputs.
- Can I place the subwoofer anywhere in the room?
- The front-firing driver and front slot port make placement more flexible than many rear-ported designs. Corner placement often increases bass output, while mid-wall placement typically reduces it.
- Does the RP-1400SW support a wireless connection?
- It supports wireless operation using the Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately) via the built-in WA-2 port.
- What do the low pass and phase controls do?
- The low pass (crossover) control helps blend the subwoofer with your speakers by setting where bass is handed off to the sub. The phase switch (0°/180°) helps align bass timing for stronger output at your listening position.
- Will it automatically turn on and off?
- Yes. In Auto mode, it turns on when it detects a signal and enters standby after roughly 15–20 minutes without signal.
- Can I use multiple inputs at the same time?
- Yes. The design allows simultaneous use of inputs (for example, one connection for home theater and another for a 2-channel setup), depending on how your system is configured.
