For long term, is a pair of tens as good as the twelves at normal listening levels? Main application music. And what is the trade off in sealed mode vs using an actual high quality sealed subwoofer? And how accurate musically is vented mode vs sealed?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: All the Monolith subwoofers are very musical, and I think you will find them to be tight, even in ported mode. The main trade off in sealed vs ported is output down low.

Under the "Full Specs" section the the frequency response is listed as 31-200Hz sealed with THX EQ, however in the manual it is stated as 20-200Hz for the same configuration. Which is correct?

For a 20x20 room, would two 10” or one 12” be better?
A shopper
on Feb 6, 2018
BEST ANSWER: As a general rule for subwoofer coverage, its better to have 2 subs providing coverage than just one. Two subs will help provide more even coverage at the listening position and provide a wider listening position. Also, with two subs, any modes or standing waves can be dealt with a lot easier with 2 subs than just one. Subs are generally non-directional: your ear cannot tell where sound below 40 hz is coming from. Placing 2 gives you better chances of great sound.

Two is generally better than one if you have subwoofer placement flexibility. You will get more even bass coverage in your room, and you will be able to deal with any nulls or room modes more efficiently.

The Monolith subwoofers do not have any type of DSP built into their amplifiers so no remote is needed. They are very easy to get dialed in by using your amp or receivers room correction setup microphone.

Why 2 RCA jacks? Is that for a 7.2 ?
A shopper
on Nov 16, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It’s for the case thst your preamp lacks a dedicated subwoofer output. You can use strero mains as input and high frequency content can be filtered out. There is a pass-through for diasy-chaining subs, although signal is tied so the subwoofers wouldn’t be independently driven.

I would recommend a single 12" subwoofer over the 10" for that size room. You could also look at utilizing 2 10" subwoofers as well.

Hobie,
I believe A Shopper misspelled two with a "to". I think he wants to know whether a single 12" or dual 10" subs would work best in his 3000 cu/ft room.

Superb
I am very impressed by the quality of build and the quality of sound from the sub. I was a bit surprised (for the better) by the size of the sub. I expected something smaller. Paired with a Denon receiver I use my setup for movies, games, streaming music as well as vinyl.The sub performs well for all of these.

Much better than my old Sony dual cone 10” sub, which pretty much gave up under 30 hz, and much cleaner than a new BIC 12 inch I also have. Great product, but not awesome. Advertising says response is “well under 20 hz.” I put a signal generator on mine, starts rolling off under 30, still very usable down to 25, but at 20 all you get is port noise from cone flutter, no usable frequency reproduction.

I would check out your subwoofer positioning in your room and re-measure. This 10" sub has good output at 20Hz, over 100dB @ 2m.

I think you sent me the same subwoofer as a replacement. The only way to get rid of the constant 'gurglinjg' sound' is to turn off the 'THX' switch.

A newer piece of furniture
Well, I'm glad I didn't get the bigger one(s). I picked this to match the THX speakers I have already, but needed a sub since the control was on the previous one. I didn't realize how big this "small" sub was. Once I got it unpacked and in place, hooked up the way I wanted it. I fiddled with the settings to get it as close to how I liked the sound, then turned it up, slightly.....And there was the sound I had hoped for. I swear, if I turned it up, really turned it up, it'd have shaken the place off the foundation. I like it.

A 10" Monster!
Got the 10" Monolith to replace my old monoprice 12" that my kids punched a hole through. The Monolith series is legit and worth every penny. The 10" is a beast (size and sound-wise) and should satisfy most people's setups. Monoprice for the win on quality home theater equipment again!
