The 10-inch woofer still features Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic™ cone but is now made with an anodized aluminum, making it harder and more dent resistant than ever. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surface to ceramic. The result is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate. A giant magnet and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil ensure efficient, reliable operation and, in combination with the mechanical characteristics of the cones, exceptionally low distortion.
The RW-10 gets its intensity from a newly designed amplifier that delivers 260-watts continuously (FTC rated), but more importantly, 575-watts of dynamic power - the punch that makes the subwoofer come to life. A continuously variable phase control facilitates ideal acoustical integration of the subwoofer with the other speakers in the system. This variable phase control is not found on many subwoofers; especially models in this price range, but it will increase bass response when properly adjusted. The easy-to-reach, side-mounted volume control is another unique feature that makes both set-up and on-the-fly adjustments easier than conventional back-panel mounted volume controls.
All of this performance is incorporated into a front-firing, front-ported design that makes installation into custom cabinetry simple. The RW-10 is available in a contemporary black wood grain vinyl or a silver finish with a sculpted front panel and grille that lends an elegant appearance to any home.
