what type of coax cable is required for this subwoofer?
A shopper
on Jan 20, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Coax is for digital signals. There is no digital input on this subwoofer. There are only line level inputs with standard RCA connectors, or high level from the speaker level out puts of your amplifier. Just use standard line level RCA to hook it up.

Assuming your receiver has a dedicated "Sub Out", It uses a basic RCA cable. I use one that is made for a subwoofer and it is shielded against interference. You can use the left or right input on the subwoofer, it's a mono signal.

Unfortunately, I can't give you a "for sure" answer. If find an adapter that can allow you to use a standard subwoofer connection/RCA plug, you can make it work. The unit is self powered so all you have to do is get the signal to the sub. I use it with a sound bar which has a dedicated subwoofer plug. It is a great sub, a good as you can get without moving up to a real big time expense.

Yes it's just a mono lfe input, I bought this to replace my JBL that died on me and for the price it's a great bang for the buck and services it's worth. Not as loud as my JBL but that was a 500 watt beast. This does have nice tight well rounded bass.

A shopper

BEST ANSWER: Yes, you can wire straight from your amplifier output and pass the signal thru to your standard passive full-range speakers. The sub will internally take the signal drop it to line level, run thru the crossover and provide warm bass for your system.

I do not have the Premium 5.1 channel sub but i do have the 150 watt Powered sub. I really like it. It has a crossover knob that lets you adjust which frequencies are coming out of it. (effectively a High pass filter). obviously at 150 watts Its not the loudest thing in the world, but for my home system its perfect.

My audio receiver only has a single monaural audio output. This subwoofer has separate line in L and R inputs. Will this work well with my receiver? Or is an adapter of some kind needed so both L and R inputs are filled in? From what I understand, and I may be mistaken, there's no L/R difference with the audio sent to a subwoofer.

Another respondent said not to use a "Y-Cable" as it will put the subwoofer out-of-phase. Having serviced both consumer and professional recording studio electronic equipment, that is not true! These circuits are generic in design and the first amplifier stage "sums" the Left and Right channels together into a mono signal so it doesn't matter if only the Left and/or the Right RCA inputs are fed from the single subwoofer output of your surround receiver. I would also recommend that if your surround receiver has DSP processing and filtering that delivers audio to its Subwoofer output then use that higher quality design and set the Crossover control of this subwoofer to the highest frequency. This will minimize phase shift in the subwoofer band.

For anyone interested in the answer: "If you are using an amplifier with a single mono subwoofer line level output, simply use an RCA "Y" cable to split the output and send it to the two line level inputs on the subwoofer. "

Can this connect to YAS 107 Soundbar?
A shopper
on Sep 22, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes it can.
The YAS 107 has a subwoofer outlet for just that purpose. You just need an RCA "Y" connector 1 male to 2 males. The length of the "Y" connector depends how far your place your sub from the YAS 107.
(The Monoprice instruction manual shows a diagram connection of the Monoprice, both Left and Right "in" jacks.
However I have used only a single RCA jack ,left or right, and it still works.) I've read the only reason to use a "Y" is if the sub has an Auto-off and this sub does. The stronger signal using both sub "in" jacks keeps the sub form powering down if the signal is too weak, like when playing at low volume. I've been using subs for over 25 years and never had this problem, but just adding this for your info.
Monoprice has this sub's manual link on its site. Arrow down, almost to bottom on the page where this sub is advertised. Link is on the left.
The YAS 107 reviews also show pictures if you don't already own this. One is avforums, Dec 31, 2017.

Look up the specs on your ssoundbar at Yamaha. It states there is a "sub-out" so the answer to your question is "YES".
"While the YAS-107 comes with built-in subwoofers, it also has a output that allows for the connection of an optional powered subwoofer if desired. Adding another subwoofer provides even deeper, fuller and more impactful bass to enhance your movies, music and games. Yamaha offers a line of powered subwoofers or you use one that you already own."
You will need an RCA (subwoofer) cable and a "Y" splitter to connect it. Monoprice sells both.

Everyone? I have (2) of these units - no hum, whatsoever. I use top-quality Monoprice single RCA cables for my subwoofers. Make sure they are tight to your sub(s) and receiver/pre-amp and that the receiver has proper settings. If the hum persists, consider that 30-cycle hums are usually the fault of a defective amplifier.

It depends on the kid of output you can deliver to the input on the subs amplifier. This unit is a bit harder to connect the input signal to it. It is easy if you have a preamp with an extra output on it. Look at the owners manual that shows you how you can connect into it. Hope this helps.p

I have mine connected to an amp/receiver which has an unpowered jack, since the sub has it's own power. I think the same would be true for a sound bar, if it has an unpowered jack for a sub. Somehow, this sub seems way bigger than most soundbars--I would look for something smaller.

Hi, I just received this subwoofer. Unpacked and installed with my pioneer 5.2 receiver. However, I am noticing 2 very strange things - the moment I switch it on (switch at the back) there is a very loud pop. Second, there is considerable humming without even being connected to a receiver. After connecting and playing some music, the humming is getting louder. Even at low levels I can hear the humming. Has some else also faced this problem? And what is the solution to this?

I had the same issue as you with this Monoprice 12" sub: it would hum loudly even with no inputs connected. However, I found a fix. This reply might be a bit late for you, but in case anyone else has this issue, here's what I did. Note: this fix involves opening the subwoofer amplifier, which could void the warranty, and exposes the user to live 120V electrical circuits. Only do this if you know what you're doing in a safe way. What I did was open the amplifier and re-position some of the cables. There are 3 small cables that run between the two circuits boards in this amplifier, and their physical placement affects how much RF interference they pick up, and thus how much hum/noise can be heard from the sub when it's turned on. In particular, the cable labeled "BASS" is very susceptible to picking up noise (it is the audio signal cable). I found that if it was close to the large transformer for the amplifier's power supply, and if it were at a particular angle, it picked up a lot of noise. So, I moved it around until I found a spot with minimal noise (I had to do this with the sub powered, so I could hear the hum change), then I hot-glued the cable to keep it there. Note: the 3 cables in my sub were tied together with a ty-rap, so I had to cut this so I could move each cable independently. One of the other cables, labeled "V+ V- GND" (which supplies power to one of the circuit boards), also required re-positioning to minimize noise. Note that when I moved/re-positioned the cables, I didn't unplug them: I only had to push them around a little bit to change the level of noise/hum significantly. There is a third cable connected between the two circuit boards in this amp, but I found that its physical position did not affect noise at all. My sub used to have a hum so loud it could be clearly heard from 20'+ away. Now, it's barely audible 3' away directly in front of it. As I said before though, opening this amplifier to do the fix I did can be dangerous, so be careful!

I can't seem to respond directly to the question, so I'll respond here. I had the same issue as you with this Monoprice 12" sub: it would hum loudly even with no inputs connected. Plugging it in to different outlets didn't fix it, nor did adjusting the volume. However, I did find a fix. This reply might be a bit late for you, but in case anyone else has this issue, here's what I did. Note: this fix involves opening the subwoofer amplifier, which could void the warranty, and exposes the user to live 120V electrical circuits. Only do this if you know what you're doing in a safe way. What I did was open the amplifier and re-position some of the cables. There are 3 small cables that run between the two circuits boards in this amplifier, and their physical placement affects how much RF interference they pick up, and thus how much hum/noise can be heard from the sub when it's turned on. In particular, the cable labeled "BASS" is very suceptible to picking up noise (it is the audio signal cable). I found that if it was close to the large transformer for the amplifier's power supply, and if it were at a particular angle, it picked up a lot of noise. So, I moved it around until I found a spot with minimal noise, then I hot-glued the cable to keep it there. Note: the 3 cables in my sub were tied together with a ty-rap. I had to cut this first so I could move each cable independently. One of the other cables, labeled "V+ V- GND" (which supplies power to one of the circuit boards), also required re-positioning to minimize noise. Note that when I moved/re-positioned the cables, I didn't unplug them: I only had to push them around a little bit to change the level of noise/hum significantly.

Can you remove the Monoprice logo cleanly?
A shopper
on Jan 26, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I have purchased over 20 of the 12" powered subs and have not yet been asked to remove the logo plate. That said, because Monoprice chooses to print their name on everything from master cartons, inner cartons and bags, as well as the items themselves, is my biggest challenge with using their products.
If they would give resellers the option to choose between standard or sanitized packaging and products, they would significantly increase sales. In my case by over 50%. But they are owned and administrated by Asians, who while very astute at production, do not think like Americans when it comes to sales. They have a lot of pride and love to see their name on everything. I have several businesses and it is the same when purchasing from Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and other Asian manufacturers.
To answer your question, I believe you can remove the logo plate, either with the careful use of a heat gun or solvent, applied to the grill cloth from behind the logo. I hope that makes sense. Good luck.

Sorry for the late reply. The logo is a small piece of embossed painted plastic that appears glued onto the acoustic grill cloth. The logo does not slide around so i suspect that the glue has penetrated the cloth and adheres to the grill frame underneath. I have not tried to remove it, but I suspect that if you tried to peel it off the cloth will likely tear or get stretched out. It's relatively small and innocuous however, so perhaps try painting over the letters or covering it with electrical tape if it bothers you.

The back of the Monoprice looks identical to the Acoustic Audio HD-SUB 12. You can find photos on the internet. This isn't evidence that Acoustic Audio builds the subs for Monoprice. It could be the case that they both buy the same back plate from the same supplier so they don't have to design their own, or another company builds amps fpr both Monoprice & Acoustic Audio. Either way, this sub is fantastic. I own two and love them.

BEST ANSWER: There really isn't enough information here to allow a qualified answer. Are these speakers powered and if so what kind of input do they have? Do the speakers themselves have an output or just an input? Does your sound card have an analog output? Monoprice sells analog conversion cables, 3.5 mm to rca to a y splitter twice I suppose.

I would try connecting the port on your computer to the line in on the subwoofer, then connect the line out on the subwoofer to your two speakers. Depending on the jacks you've got on either end, you might need an adapter or two. I'm guessing you would at least need a headphone jack to dual RCA splitter to connect the computer to the subwoofer, since most computers do not have the RCA sockets (red and white).

I can't really compare the two since I only purchased the ssw 10. I can tell you the one I have is a great value as far as sound. Also it doesn't stick out like a shoe thumb. I was able to hide it under a chair. Also If you're using a LFE connection I would suggest you get a Y connector considering the subwoofer doesn't have a LFE connection.

I have one in the closet in the room w/one of my systems as there is no room anywhere else. I just keep the closet door open.

Can a subwoofer cable/Digital Coax Cable be used to connect this subwoofer to a receiver?
Hasumi M
on Jun 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, that type of cable would be best to connect this subwoofer to a receiver. However, since the receiver will only have one RCA port for the Digital Coaxial output and the Subwoofer will require both RCA ports on the input to be in use, it will require an RCA Y adapter. Which will be PID 6261.

Monoprice 6in RCA Female to 2x RCA Male Digital Coaxial Splitter Adapter
This may not always be the case, however. Many of these LFE subwoofers merely sum the L & R Line Inputs (i.e. RCA connectors) together internally via a summing amplifier stage. This would make sense since there is only a single channel power amplifier driving a single subwoofer speaker driver. As with the RCA/Line Inputs, the HIgh-Level Speaker Inputs have a built-in resistor voltage divider (i.e. attenuator) to lower this signal voltage down to a level better suited for the RCA Line Level Inputs. So, short answer long, you don't necessarily need the Y-splitter, internally this subwoofer's circuitry is already combining the signals from either L or R inputs.

I see that this item (12in 150-Watt Powered Subwoofer) has both a line level input and line level output. What signal goes to the line level out? Is it "pre" or "post" crossover? In other words, if the crossover point is set to 50Hz, is the line out the "post" crossover signal above 50Hz or is the line out a full range "pre" crossover pass through? I can't seem to find that info in my reading here.

The LINE IN and the LINE OUT are just a "pass through" method of getting a signal into and out of the subwoofer. If you have a multimeter, set it to the OHMS function and I would venture to say that you will read continuity (i.e. ZERO OHMS) from the RCA's center pin of one channel's LINE IN to the center pin of the RCA's LINE OUT within the same channel. It is just a convenience in the event that you are feeding the sub from the output of a preamplifer and have to continue the signal flow on to your power amplifier instead of using a "Y-splitter" cable adapter.

Can’t beat this Subwoofer for the price!
Nice sounding Subwoofer, replacing 12 year old Klipsch, for the money I do not think you can beat it. Is nice looking, but bigger then I expected. I should have measured first, but very happy with it

It’s not the loudest subwoofer, but definitely an upgrade over the one that comes with the Premium 5.1 speaker set. And for the price it is a great sounding speaker, it definitely will shake smaller rooms.

Sounds good but the auto on/off function does not work
Overall happy with my purchase. Sounds good especially for under $100.
My only complaint is the auto on/off function does not work.
Have it hooked up to a Sony receiver and sounds good with my Klipsch speakers

Outstanding value!
Even though this sub was highly rated, I wasn't convinced of how good it supposedly was..... Until I received it, that is.
First off, the sub comes VERY well packaged in a sturdy double box. Once unpacked, I noticed that the vinyl wrap has a fairly convincing wood-grain texture that almost exactly matches my Elac speakers, with no visible flaws. I wanted to get a good baseline before break in, so I hooked it up to my office audio system and listened to several tracks of base heavy music. then I moved the sub up in my garage, hooked it up to a laptop and broke it in for about 24 hours using a 45hz signal. After break in, I hooked it back up in my office and listened to the same track that I had earlier. This sub DEFINITELY hits harder after break in.
I have used the sub now for about a month, and am VERY pleased with how it sounds. Foe under $100 I was expecting it to have a rather muddy sound and a weak amp. Happily, this proved to not be the case. During strong base passages it hits surprisingly hard, and has much more clarity than I expected. It's not going to rival an SVS 3000 series sub, but at one tenth of the price it performs VERY well.
