I purchased two of these for a small theater room (12x14) that does not have any acoustic treatment. I am using Audyssey XT32 for setup.

Pros:
- Plenty of output for this room size
- Responsive down to 20hz
- Simple controls on the amp make it easy to interface with or without a receiver.

Neutral
- Seems somewhat heavy/bulky for a 10" sub

Cons:
- Significant port noise at 25hz. I ended up having to run these sealed as the port noise is so bad. This seems like a straightforward engineering exercise to address and is a big con to these subs if you're doing HT
- High background noise in the amplifiers. On one of the subs, if I turned the volume up all the way (with no signal cable connected) I could hear a sort of "whooshing" sound as far as 10ft away. In the other, if I did this, the whooshing sound was only audible if you were about 1ft away. Noise seems relatively high on these amps. Does not appear to be power related as the effect was consistent between subs and rooms

All I can say is WOW!! This sub really outperforms my REL subs. I really like how ow it can get, that being said it's rather large so I put it on a furniture dolly to move it around till I find the sweet spot!! If you're on the fence about getting it. Lear's just say it brings action movies to life!!!!!

The plots and the rave are true, this sub is great. I bought one, liked it so much that I bought another one for the living room. I have driven them pretty hard already in testing and didn't reach distortion, clipping or shutdowns.

Do notice that a good sub is only half of the experience, placement and room shape are equally important. I spent several hours trying different locations to find the optimal spot and this is time well spent IMO. I recommend REW + UMIK-1 mic for measuring the room response.

Hope my poor house endures the bass shakes now.

No joke the best sub I've ever heard in a home theater. The quality and shear omnipresence of the bass is completely insane at that price. Absolutely in love with it and can't recommend it enough. I will say... it is pretty darn big, so make sure you have the space for it.

Love these subs! Came carefully packaged and protected. Easy to set up and get dialed in. Provides deep, clear and responsive bottom end. I'm running two of these subs with vintage Klipsch Cornwalls, and these Monoliths sound magnificent!

Sono un perito in elettronica e telecomunicazioni, nonché audiofilo! Volevo inserire un Subwoofer, nel mio impianto, non tanto per la musica, quanto per migliorare la risposta in frequenza, l'estensione e l'impatto durante la visione di film.
Ho creato quindi un impianto 2.1 all'inizio credevo che 500 Watt rms fossero veramente troppi; invece, il suono di questo animale è uno spettacolo assoluto!!
Scende in frequenza con una facilità impressionante, grandissimo impatto e realismo durante le scene più spettacolari!!
L'amplificatore integrato con DSP fa un lavoro eccellente, ottimo il controllo, non si avvertono code o rimbombi, la qualità audio è altissima!!
Completissima la sezione dei controlli e delle possibilità di collegamento!! La costruzione è veramente di alto livello, il peso di 33Kg la dice lunga sulla qualità dei materiali impiegati!! Consigliatissimo!! Non fatevelo scappare!!

I was looking for a budget solution for my living room which I primarily use for 2 channel music listening. Was doing some research online and saw rave reviews for monoprice subs. Had already listened to their THX speaker lineup, decided to pull the trigger on this one. Proved to be a wise decision.

Packs a lot of punch with 500W amp and has a linear frequency response with the lows. It is built like a tank using higher quality materials than some of my existing subs. Thoroughly enjoyable.

The only con is it's a bit clunky, not easy to move this thing around.

Would definitely recommend to anyone..

Works really well in my medium size living room

Pretty Big Chonker of a 10" woofer. This thing is solid, big, heavy. Packaging was intense, the unit arrived with no defects or issues. The response is tight, all-in-all a huge step up from both soundbar subwoofers and even other 10" stuff like my old Polks (which sound disappointingly muddy now in comparison). I have it paired with some KEF Q150s for stereo listening. It is a big woofer for the room and my wife was initially fairly upset at just how much space it occupied, but she has since come around because of how much nicer the lower frequency stuff sounds. I don't go in much for audiophile hokum but this was a genuine and noticeable improvement.

I upgraded from an 8?, 250w sub that constantly bottomed out. I must say, 1 hell of an upgrade. This 10?, 500 watt doesn?t come close to bottoming out, even during a crazy explosion, fight scenes in movies! Very happy with this sub!! Can only imagine what a 15? sub does. If you?re on the fence, don?t worry, you won?t go wrong!
