BIC America F12 review

This subwoofer with a 12-inch driver size has a reasonably high peak power value (475 W). It has a phase switch. Thereby you can synchronize the movement of the speaker diffuser and subwoofer for better sound quality. BIC America F12 has an LED power detector vs Klipsch R-120SW hasn’t. This function is very convenient, it is always clear whether the subwoofer is connected to an outlet.

BIC F12 is large and heavy, it is made in a minimalist style. Subwoofer control is located on the back panel. At the bottom of the case are four low cylindrical legs.
