## Description

Unveil Your Mix’s Low End Do your mixes sound great in your studio, but like mud on large, full-range systems? If so, you need a subwoofer like the Kali Audio WS-12. This powered sub boasts 1,000 watts, a 23Hz–160Hz frequency response, and a 123dB maximum SPL, giving it enough volume to handle any situation and enough low-end extension to faithfully reproduce your mix’s low-frequency content. Plus — like other Kali Audio speakers — the WS-12’s low-noise port tube yields clean, punchy bass. This subwoofer is infinitely versatile, thanks to back-panel dip switches that control its crossover frequency, output level, polarity, and more. Beyond that, a rear-panel jack enables you to use a third-party footswitch to bypass the subwoofer — a must-have for studio applications. The WS-12 is small enough to fit anywhere, yet durable enough to withstand the rigors of the road. Whether you need to mix low-frequency content, or

Review: Hard to beat the bang for the buck - I was considering Adam's A5X. I am happy I tested the Kali IN-5. I am moving my studio to ATMOS mixing. The guys at Dolby Labs agreed the Kali sound great and are a totally acceptable alternative to the more expensive A5X.
Review: Great sub until it stopped working - Sub was working great for a couple of months... until it wasn't. The audio from the sub was cutting in and out for a while when it first showed signs of malfunctioning until it completely stopped making any sound at all. The sub powers on just fine and passes audio thru just fine as well but there's no audio coming from the subwoofer itself. I hope I just got some sort of defective unit and that I'm able to get it repaired or replaced. UPDATE: Although Kali Audio's customer service wasn't the easiest to reach out to and communicate with, they eventually did send out a new unit to me free of cost. Seems like there was a batch of defective units since I saw another review mentioning the exact same issue I had. The new sub they sent works perfectly and hasn't given me any issues so far. It's been about 4-5 months since I got it. Changed 3 star rating to 4 stars since it really is a great product and at a great price, but the inconvenience wasn't exactly pleasant. UPDATE #2: Replacement unit started doing the same thing... cutting in and out momentarily for a second every 20 seconds or so. At this point I just want my money back. Lost my trust in Kali Audio completely.

### ⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know if got a lemon. It was bad until I eventually bought a replacement amp through Kali.
*by D***D on January 28, 2026*

I got this for a great price because I believe it was a closeout but had problems with the unit from the time I got it. I just thought that’s how they worked, until I finally ordered a brand new amp from Kali Audio to replace myself. Now it’s amazing. The problem before was when I turned it on, I had to wait about a minute before I could turn on my tops, otherwise there’s horrible, squealing noise.
