When I bought mine it did. Mine was a store model also, so I had the same question.

Yes, it comes with the custom tuned Polk enclosure. Very well built, still 0 regret in buying this setup!

Yes, it comes with the sub built in. I've wondered if it (the sub that is built in) can be replaced, actually...

I've had this speaker and box for awhile now, I even went and bought the matching door speakers because I liked the sub so much. Amazing sound comes from this one 12" sub. And even when you wanna crank it up the bass does not distort at all it stays clean and crisp. BTW I'm running a 1200 watt amp on it about halfway up so about 600 watts.

Lol I had the same question in the beginning! And yes you get the sub and box. I just blew my sub, but 110% my fault, overpowered it.. Other than that! Great sub!!

Are you talking to install it with a stock head unit? You do not need a converter box. This amplifier has a line/speaker level input that allows you to connect the speakers wires from your rear component speakers directly to the amplifier (you do not need RCA cables), you can splice into the rear speaker line on your stock system so you can keep the stock rear speakers and add the subs. You can then adjust the frequency filter on the amplifier for low frequency output to the subwoofer. Let me know if you have any more questions about this as this is exactly how I have this hooked up with my stock head unit running a Kicker L7 15" Solo Baric subwoofer, it pounds pretty good!

The Klipsch website doesn't offer much in the way of user manuals. The plate amplifier that's installed on the sub I believe is manufactured by "Bash". They have user manuals but aside from technical specifications they don't provide much in the way of setup and operation. If that is the information you are looking for go to youtube and find what you are looking for explained in a video about subwoofers. Setup for subs is simple and similar regardless of the brand, and making sound adjustments (phase, gain, frequency, crossover) based on sub location, etc. is also quite simple.

Since Amazon.com, like other retailers, fail to clearly disclose the information you seek I would recommend you post an e-mail to customer service requesting clarification before you place an order. In some cases it is clearly disclosed that the asking price is for a pair or each. It doesn't help when the retailer shows a photo image of TWO (2) speaker enclosures yet the asking price is for only ONE (1) speaker enclosure.

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

I am hesitant about purchasing this item because the technical description does not say that it comes with the transducer. AND it says that that most people who purchase this also purchase a transducer. But the model number that is given DOES usually come with everything in package so it would be very misleading to list that model number and leave something out of the package.

yes, it comes with everything else. I was very impressed. Make sure to get 2ohm speakers and NOT 4ohm.

I purchased a separate subwoofer to compliment the speaker. I am totally satisfied with this system; the sound is amazing! I recommend this system without reservation.

It comes w/a sub and only has audio in/out.In the real world it's like an old 150 watt Pioneer,Kenwood system was like.You couldn't drive a big pair of Kilpsch speakers w/ this.I hope this was helpful

I bought this and it works well. You will need to by an amplifier for this subwoofer if your receiver does not have one specifically for a subwoofer. I bought the Bash 300S Digital Subwoofer Plate Amplifier 300W RMS from Parts Express. I works very well with my surround sound. Be sure to secure the speaker grate. The putty they send you does not work so well. I used silicone to hold the grate in. It will vibrate loose if you do not.Hope this helps

I have a ported enclosure. BUT....regardless of how you use it, be prepared for your organs to vibrate! Professional installers have said to me, "WHOA!!! That sucker kicks! What's the company?" After telling them the brand, they say, "I've heard about them!"

Speakers DO NOT come with covers and no provisions to put covers on unless they sell a cover that snaps over the whole face of the speaker. The subwoofer is covered with a mesh, but that is all. They say that the cones are made with a type of Kevlar or something like it to resist cuts.

you need a 2 ohm Dual voice coil to make 1 ohm or 4 ohm connection. Do no under power this sub. I've been blasting 3000w+ for almost 2 years and it loves it. I bought a 2000w fosgate amp and the amp wasn't enough. protection mode way too early. I went back to my old 3500w mono refurbed amp and no issues again. Shouldn't have fixed what wasnt broken. Best sub around for the $$$.. I promise.

If you are careful, you can remove the speaker from the new enclosure (four screws) and mount it in the old enclosure. You will also have to securely reposition the crossover circuit. I epoxied the mounting tabs from the new enclosure in the old enclosure to mount the crossover circuit. I did this and it worked fine.

You can use your own..I did anyways. Just so you know I only had my subwoofer for 2 days. Its been months now and its not fixed. The sub is really crappy. It broke twice. I just bought a energy sub and the system now rocks. Just thought you would like to know.

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.

The speaker "bar/enclosure" is comprised of 3 separate sets of speakers which are capable of being used as is or taken apart. the 3 parts are: Left channel, Center channel, and Right channel. To answer your question - Yes.
