Subwoofers may not be the first thing that come to mind during these mid-summer days (I’m thinking more along the lines of poolside speakers like Soundcore’s Boom 2 party box) but that hasn’t stopped the likes of Klipsch and Starke Sound from offering great deals on some of their bass boxes.

Starke Sound is selling its impressive Top Pick-designated SW15 powered subwoofer for $499 (almost 30% off its usual retail price of $699), which means you can buy two for a cool grand. The 5-star performer mates a menacing, DSP-controlled 15-inch glass-fiber woofer with a 450-watt (RMS) amplifier in a pedestrian matt-black cabinet with a removable fabric-mesh grille that measures roughly 17 x 16.5 x 19 inches — about as small as you can get with a 15-inch driver. The SW15 offers only basic controls — sorry, no app — but it can play loud and deep. Click here for more on this deal.

Klipsch is also running a summer subwoofer sale offering 20 to 40% off its subwoofer lineup. Best deal is the R-120SW, which is now selling for $299, as 40% discount off the regular price of $499. The RP-1600SW, one of our Top Picks in 2023, has been marked down to $1,499, almost 20% off its $1,799 list price. As the top model in the Reference Premier series, the RP-1600SW is a highly capable bulldog of a subwoofer that will wow you with its over-the-top build quality and ability to deliver earth-shaking bass from a 16-inch woofer with 800 watts of RMS at its disposal.

No word on when these discounts will end, so if a subwoofer is in the cards and these fit the bill, don’t wait too long.
