Klipsch RP-1400SW 14" Subwoofer
Overview
A dedicated home theatre with a genuinely large room needs subwoofer output that most compact subs simply can't provide, and running out of headroom is the fastest way to lose the impact of a demanding soundtrack. The Klipsch RP-1400SW is built for exactly that scale.
The RP-1400SW is a 14" powered subwoofer built around a spun-copper Cerametallic woofer engineered for high excursion and low distortion at reference output levels. A Class D amplifier with an analog preamp design delivers 500W RMS (1000W peak) while keeping the signal path clean and true-to-source.
A front-firing driver with an Aerofoil slot port minimizes turbulence for tight, controlled bass and allows flexible placement in the room. The MDF cabinet is finished in scratch-resistant ebony vinyl with rounded corners, and it's wireless-ready with the Klipsch WA-2 kit (sold separately).
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
If a Central Ontario client is considering adding a second subwoofer to an RP-1400SW system, Klipsch's own guidance is to match it with another RP-1400SW rather than a smaller model — pairing mismatched sizes can produce uneven bass response, so matching output capability matters more than simply adding more subs.

Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Dedicated Theatre Owner: needs reference-level output for a large, purpose-built room.
- The Reference Premiere System Owner: pairs naturally with Klipsch RP-Series tower and bookshelf speakers.
- The Home Theatre Perfectionist: wants headroom to spare for the most demanding low-frequency effects.
How It Compares
The RP-1400SW sits above the RP-1200SW in Klipsch's Reference Premiere subwoofer lineup, stepping up to a 14" driver and 500W amplifier for deeper extension (16Hz vs. 16.5Hz) and more maximum output (124dB vs. 119dB). For most home theatres, the RP-1200SW is plenty; for a dedicated large room or reference-level performance, the RP-1400SW is the stronger choice — and the RP-1600SW is the next step up for those who want even more.
