Are they Bluetooth?
New User U
on Mar 21, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No, they are not Bluetooth. Also note that this is not a powered system. It has a powered Sub, and 5 speakers that would attach directly to your home theatre receiver or 5.1 amp. Aside from that limitation, they perform great and sound very nice for a system at this price point.

I have the same setup.
One RCA out from the amp and 2 inputs to the sub.
I got a small Y adapter from Amazon (or maybe MP - do not recall) that has one female end and two male ends.
I ran a single RCA patch cord from the amp to the Y adapter and then plugged the male ends of the Y adapter into the sub. Seems to work fine (about a year now).

Hello there! Honestly, any type of wall mounts should works with these as the screw going into the bracket is pretty standard. I ended up using different ones I got from my brother-in-law on my Rear Speakers because they seemed ti be a little sturdier (still generic brand though).

I see that you have to buy your own wire for the speaker and see that the sub needs a splitter if I'm correct to plug in so if I'm right then the sub already comes wired?

BEST ANSWER: the subwoofer does not come wired.. if you have a subwoofer input jack on the back of your receiver then i would suggest you get https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10236&cs_id=1023603&p_id=21679&seq=1&format=2
hopefully that helps..
if you have to use wire to connect the subwoofer then i would simply insure that you get a speaker wire that is able to support a dolby surround sound (usually these type of wires are thick)
Finally, gotta say I LOVE this product.. both the speakers and the subwoofer cable!!

What amp do i use for it?
A shopper
on May 25, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I'll try to answer your questions as direct as possible.
Usually the amp that you would use is inside of the receiver that you would be using for your surround system, and any receiver will work that is for a 5.1 set up or greater. If you are using a separate amp, any amp will work, but ultimately you will still be running it through a receiver.
I will also ad that this Monoprice surround system sounds great, good quality and amazing price.

You need a 5.1 Channel amplifier with surround to take full advantage of the "5" channels: Right, Left, Center, Right back, Left Back and the "1" for the Sub Woofer for deep bass. Any brand will do, Sony, Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon, and others. A system with up to 125 watts of power should do nicely.

BEST ANSWER: Some subwoofers will have the single RCA input but there are also some subwoofers that will require the single RCA to be split into 2 RCA inputs.

Most powered subwoofers 'sum' the LEFT and RIGHT channels together anyway for purposes of filtering the low frequencies. I would try plugging your cable into the LEFT and then the RIGHT to be sure that either one or both produce the low frequency bass you are looking for. If not then go with a 'Y' adapter to feed both LEFT and RIGHT input of this subwoofer.

What type of speaker wire should I use with these speakers?
Jeff B
on Jun 18, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I like using 16 gauge copper stranded wire like you can buy at most home center stores, hardware stores or online retailers; like Monoprice.
22 gauge wires may attenuate your audio signal strength. This being a 5.1 sound system means at least some of your wires should be more than 10 feet long. Thicker wiring than 16 gauge is probably unnecessary. 18 gauge may be thick enough. 20 and 22 gauge take your bragging rights down and may sound noticeably weaker.
It is your choice in the end. You may, or may not hear the difference. There are too many factors that all work together to determine how satisfying your installation will be to your ears.

I used these speakers to replace 20 year old speakers. - same wiring. The woofer and front speakers have regular electrical zip cord, and the rear speakers( 25 ft away) use a very small gauge type of wire because I wanted to make the wiring as invisible as possible. The new mono price speaker system has exceeded my expectations and so seems to be not that sensitive to types of wire.

what would i need to do to connect this to use as my computer's speaker set up?
Colt G
on Oct 21, 2018
BEST ANSWER: My guess would be an amp with an aux port with a aux in for a cable to go from your PC speaker out to the aux in of the amp. These speakers don't have any power drivers and would need that to come from the amp. I bought this same speaker system for my home theater and I needed an amp since my TV could not drive the speakers.

Only the sub is amplified. You would need a 5.1 channel amplifier, and probably one with an HDMI input and output assuming your computer has HDMI out. There are other options out there for amplified 5.1 systems - but they would likely cost comparable to buying these speakers and a decent Onkyo 5.1 amplifier/tuner.

Is the subwoofer auto on and off?
A shopper
on Apr 21, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, the sub has a switch to turn on/off the auto power feature. When turned on the sub will enter standby if no audio is present for more than 5 min. When audio is discovered the sub will immediately turn back on.

Can I add to a 5.1 to make it 10.1?
A shopper
on Nov 29, 2019
BEST ANSWER: It all depends on your receiver or what you are trying to accomplish. If you added this to an existing 5.1 and doubled the speakers and sub you would end up with a 10.2. I don’t know why you would want to do that. This speaker array is a good value. I don’t know if you doubled up the speaker load it might sound worse.

The impedance of this system is 8 ohms, which meets the minimum of 6 ohms required by the Yamaha system. To be sure though, I would ask a specialist at Crutchfield of the definite compatibility, they are very helpful. I have a Sony Sony STR-DH590 with same 6 ohm minimum requirements and this system works great with it.

Can this sub woofer connecetd to power sockets of 220 - 240 volt ....????? for india standards
A shopper
on Nov 23, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Looking at the picture, it specifically says 120V AC and there is no detachable power plug, only an American plug. I would say you cannot plug this in to a 220V socket without a transformer.

BEST ANSWER: That rating applies to the 110v AC power from the wall. It has nothing to do with the sound wave frequency rating of these speakers. Two totally different and unrelated things.

Does anyone know how the sound quality of this speaker set compares to the monoprice Premium 5.1 Speaker Set?
A shopper
on Aug 27, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I haven't heard the premium speaker set, but this set is awesome for the money. It far exceeds what I expected. It is very clear watching tv and loud if you want it to be. I replaced a Pioneer speaker set ( which cost 4 times more) and these sound way better. I think anyone would be happy with this speaker set unless your a really serious audiophile. Highly recommend.

Garbage Subwoofer
This subwoofer was designed to fail, which it did. The power transformer is mounted at the bottom of the plate, subjecting all of the electronics to excessive direct heat. Now all it does is hum.
