Legendary Cerametallic™ Woofer – Engineered for Speed & Clarity
At the heart of the SPL-100 is a 10-inch Cerametallic™ woofer, Klipsch’s signature material that’s ultra-lightweight yet exceptionally rigid. This unique design allows the driver to move rapidly with precision, minimizing cone breakup and reducing distortion across the bass frequency range.
The result? Fast, controlled, musical bass with remarkable detail and accuracy — whether it’s a low cinematic rumble or a tight kick drum.
High-Efficiency Class D Amplification – 200 Watts of Clean Power
The SPL-100 features a highly efficient Class D amplifier that delivers 200 watts RMS (and up to 450 watts peak) of clean, reliable power. This allows the subwoofer to maintain dynamic performance, even during the most demanding scenes.
The Class D design also keeps heat and energy consumption low, ensuring consistent performance whether you’re playing at reference level or background ambiance.
Feel the Sound – 118 dB Max SPL
With a maximum output of 118 dB, the Klipsch SPL-100 delivers reference-level output that can easily fill medium to large rooms with thunderous bass. You won’t just hear explosions, engine roars, or drum hits — you’ll feel them through your chest and walls.
And thanks to the Cerametallic driver and tuned front-firing port, the SPL-100 maintains control even at high volume levels, avoiding the flabbiness or boomy bass often found in cheaper subwoofers.
Front-Firing Slot Port – Tuned for Performance
The SPL-100 uses a front-firing slot port with internal flare geometry, minimizing turbulence and delivering smoother airflow. This helps to reduce port noise (chuffing) and ensures deeper bass extension with better accuracy.
The front port design also allows for flexible room placement, especially in home theater cabinets or media stands where rear-ported subs may struggle.
Seamless Integration with Adjustable Controls
To perfectly match your room and main speakers, the SPL-100 includes user-friendly controls for:
-
Low-Pass Crossover (40Hz–160Hz): Tailor the sub’s output to blend with your mains.
-
Phase Control (0°–180°): Align the timing between subwoofer and speakers for tighter bass.
-
Gain Control: Set the output level according to room size and listener preference.
Whether you’re running full-range floorstanders or compact bookshelf speakers, the SPL-100 integrates seamlessly.
Flexible Connections – LFE & Line In
The back panel features RCA Line Level and LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) inputs, making the SPL-100 compatible with virtually any AV receiver or preamp setup.
If you’re using a home theater receiver, the LFE input bypasses the internal crossover and lets your receiver handle bass management. If you’re connecting to a stereo amp or processor, you can use the line-level input with the built-in crossover.
Go Wireless with WA-2 Compatibility
Hate cable clutter? The SPL-100 is WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit compatible, allowing you to connect wirelessly to any compatible Klipsch speaker or AV receiver. You’ll get all the punch of wired performance with zero signal compression — and no more tripping over cables.
(WA-2 kit sold separately.)
Built to Look as Good as It Sounds
The SPL-100 doesn’t just sound powerful — it looks premium, too. It features a durable brushed black polymer veneer cabinet with copper accents, echoing Klipsch’s Reference Premiere design language. The removable magnetic grille lets you choose between a clean, modern look or a more industrial aesthetic with the copper woofer exposed.
Rubberized feet provide grip and stability on both carpet and hard flooring.
