does it have a built in amp?
A shopper
on Jan 30, 2023
BEST ANSWER: Yes, this is a power sub. I own 2 other 10 inch subs that cost 3 times what I paid for this model. Best bass for the money

Yes, it's amplified. I highly recommend this sub btw. Heaps of low end that you can dial in, great for music and movies.

It has a volume control but it is a subwoofer, a speaker, so I would not expect it to have an amplifier.

What does Monoprice recommend to connect the MM-5 speakers to the SW-10 subwoofer? The MM-5 master speaker has a single RCA jack and the SW-10 subwoofer has a left and right input jack. Thank you.

I use my subwoofer for surroundsound. If you have that option also in the back of your Stereo it will have an option for a single Jack or a left and right Jack. If you want to use a single Jack you can buy from Monoprice an adapter where you plug in the left and right into one end of the adapter and then on the other is the single Jack that you can plug-in.

Connect to the white RCA connection. Only one is needed as SWs are Mono. Enter

Can you pair this with a powered bookshelf speakers with a sub out port?
A shopper
on Feb 17, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I am using it with a pair of Audioengine A2's. The only issue is the level of the subwoofer output from the Audioengines is low for the gain of the subwoofer. I have to almost max out the gain.

You certainly can - but I have found this subwoofer is a real overkill in bass unless you’re streaming videos or high action movies desiring the realistic sound effects

I have wood floors. What are the feet made of? I don't want to mar my floors
Steve D
on Mar 10, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I just looked at mine and found that they are make of a hard wood or plastic (I can’t tell). Each foot comes to a slightly rounded point. If you are worried about it just put some small felt circles under each foot. The felt protectors can be found at any hardware or Walmart store.

What is the input impedance of the RCA jacks? For that matter, what's the impedance of the speaker level terminals?

Is the auto on function working properly? I was going to buy the THX select certified sub but it won’t be available until August so I was looking for something to get me by until then but really wanted a sub with auto on feature.

Great Value Subwoofer.
I highly recommend. Pros: Power, aesthetics/looks, Price to Performance, warmth and blend ability. Cons: fuzzy sounding with detail but not overly detailed bass, large for a 10' sub, auto pause function is terrible, no output via RCA Y splitter.
This is a great value subwoofer with very good sound. The cabinet is beautiful as I prefer a more modern look, as opposed to a wood grain cabinet. Connections on the back are plentiful. Couldn't have been happier on Black Friday, Cyber Monday weekend. You will hear this subwoofer when located in other rooms. Adds that warm bass to a 2.1 system if you blend the sound and use an equalizer. A great buy for someone willing to take the time to optimize for a balanced overall sound.

Super Budget Sub
Great product for the price. No problems with the auto on/off feature. Good bottom for smaller rooms. I totally recommend it.

Hummmm
The sound is good when music is playing through the rest of the system. The problem is there is always a very low level hum coming from the subwoofer.

Great performance- little price
A beautiful subwoofer that really delivers, a great sonic balance with my Monoprice tower and bookshelf speakers. The center channel speaker rounds out the surround sound system that I have built. All of your speakers perform at a level that exceeds their price,signed a happy customer Brady Herring

sounds good but problematic
I am also having the hum/squeal sound and auto on issues others have reported. When it finally does kick auto-on its a very loud thump. There is a noise emitted from the amplifier section when powered on that is audible in low volume sequences of video or audio.
When on the sound quality is decent overall, but I would choose a different model if i were purchasing today.
At the time this review was written there were 4 other reviews. 2 others reported the same problem so this may be widespread for this model.

Delightful and Impressive
"I don't usually write reviews, but when I do you should read 'em"
JUST connected it to my setup yesterday and watched a couple movies. Oh, what a difference it made! Made me feel a little giddy! It really made the "theater setup" complete. HOWEVER, I am working through a couple things and if resolved I'll GLADLY bump this to 5 Stars! Working to figure out the Humming and Auto-on.

I didnt have a sub for a long time after mine died. I bought a sound bar system so I could get a better sound. Because of Monoprices return policy I decided to buy a sub to see if It would sound better before I opened the box of the sound bar system. Im glad I did. It sounds great with my surround system; TV shows,movie,and especially concerts.
So for me its been a five star experience for the money I spent that was under a $150.00. Ive always had great luck with Monoprice in the past.

Overall sound quality is great, especially given the price/value.
The one downside is that I cannot get the Auto-On setting to work (I've tried adjusting settings on my receiver to no avail). It's not that big of an issue leaving it on all of the time, but would be nice to have this function working.
