Can you use RCA cables or just XLR cables?

on May 31, 2022
BEST ANSWER: Rca cables work just fine, if sub is 20 Or 30 feet away then xlr would be best but still not required.

Can the woofer be turned to the side so its not pointing out to the front? I don't think I'm getting buy in from the wife for something sticking out 2 feet. 17 inches she would probably go for.

Yes indeed, sideways works fine - as mine is. It really is quite large (better than I anticipated) so it really needs to be sideways for most people, I imagine. And being a sub, the sound is non-directional so it sounds great. Actually, this beast sounds amazing! It roasts the Klipsch 12" reference series sub I had, both in thump, but more importantly, in the clarity of the lower registry. It's not just a rumble-maker, it really adds more clear tone to whatever you listen too. I was so impressed, I picked up the 8" reference sub for my office and it's also a stunner. Monoprice is really doing it right, and for a good price.

With proper placement subwoofers or any low frequency speakers are not affected by orientation. Example would be a down firing or passive radiator type.
So to answer no shouldn't matter. I will note this thing is very large I use it as a endtable

You can mount it, hang it, slide it sideways…. Do whatever you want. In the end is down to the acoustics of your room will dictate how it needs to go. This is not a device with a primary function of aesthetics.

As long as you are leaving some clear space in front of the woofer and the ports, I wouldn't hesitate to rotate it to make room for it. I would definitely choose that option over downsizing altogether.

They are front portes so ideally you want the ports facing outward. Also if you turn them to the side you will see the power and RCA cables.

Mostly just louder, they are both large subs the 10 will definitely be smaller in size for a bedroom but its still quite large at 73 pounds. Honestly depending on the size of the room etc I would go with an even smaller one, but that's just me as my bedroom is pretty small.

Yes, the M-12 is significantly louder. That said, even an M-10 will be overkill for a bedroom if the program source is just music. If you have an AV theatre in your bedroom then the M-10 would be an outstanding investment. Highly recommended

M-12 is louder (4db) with dual ports means more room pressure so you feel the base more.
M-13 is recommended for a room upto 3000 sqf.
M-10 is recommended for a room up to 2000 sqf.

I am considering adding/upgrading another sub to my 7.2.4 TX-RZ3100 system. My current front sub is an SVS 2000 Pro (12") and the rear is an older, mismatched Boston Acoustic (10"). They actually sound good together, but I want to add a little more oomph and balance. Will this Monolith 12 V2 give me similar performance and match-up as well as another SVS Pro2000? There is a significant price savings. I will be giving up the SVS's app adjustability but the receiver itself along with the unit should be suffixient.

Never had SVS ones that you have.
Have tried A few Polks Klipsh and Bose… this one is way above all those… but again it’s not a real comparison. Buy the best Monoprice that you can afford and have space for. A friend of mine had twin 15inches and when you entered his house you just started feeling good… you know why… the sweet bass… that moved you and you felt it deep inside

A shopper
on Mar 24, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I have a hardwood floor and used a small piece of carpeting under it. The sub is so massive (100 lbs), and the cabinet so rigid, that there is no vibration that would couple to the floor. The carpet allows you to slide the sub for adjustments, protects the floor, and minimizes any possibility of a buzz.

Does this offer the same performance as the previous design Monolith 12" THX subwoofer? A quick glance at the CEA-2010 SPL measurements suggests its the exact same but would like some confirmation that this product is just a aesthetic re-design and that this subwoofer would work parallel with the previous model if we wanted to pair the two up for dual/triple/etc subwoofer configuration.

BEST ANSWER: Why would it not be recommended to run a THX subwoofer in sealed? They sound fantastic sealed, but as in all sealed designs, there is a significant drop in output compared to running it in ported mode. I think you will find our ported subwoofers sound tighter than even other brands sealed subwoofers, if that's what you are looking for. The subwoofer has output down into 10Hz or better.

Truly monolithic?
?Monolith? is such an appropriate name for these subwoofers. Their size is substantial, yet due to their somewhat spartan design characteristic neither my wife nor myself mind it too much - which was my goal. I bought this subwoofer to replace an SVS PB12-Plus (which is a tall and intruding cylinder sub) that I bought a few years prior. It was a carryover from a previous home and the new, larger room uses less conspicuous in-ceiling speakers, so having something that could still fill the room with sound, yet not stand out quite so much was ideal. Needless to say the Monolith isn?t a small sub, BUT it is far less obnoxious than the one it replaced and the absolutely effortless sound it puts out is next-level. It is able to reach deeper than the SVS ever could and does so at much greater volumes. This sub exceeds all necessary metrics for this room by a decent margin and likely won?t be replaced anytime soon. For the money I can?t imagine anything shy of a DIY build can compete.

Monolith 12
The monolith 12 will completely blow you away with its performance. I would love to have 4 of these bad boys but the wife won?t approve. I have 2 monolith 10s pair with this and it is amazing. Took a little bit to get everything calibrated. I love it. I?m a loyal fan!

Beast
Sound is amazing. Completely changed my theater and music experience. Powerful enough to fill my 3300 ft3 room. I do find it odd that I have to turn the gain knob all the way up but that could be my receiver or the fact that I have it on a 30' cable. Also wish there was a power light on the front. But those are minor quibbles. Vast improvement over the Klipsch SPL-120 that I tried but had to return due to a defect.
Glad it's not bigger!

Great subwoofer for the price point!
I read the reviews before purchase. It's huge, heavy and hits hard. I too noticed all the notes my old subwoofer wasn't hitting. I don't regret the purchase.

After my 20 year old 450 watt rms velodyne subwoofer failed, I did some extensive research. I looked into rytthmic, Svs, and Hsu, and monolith. After reading into all the options it was an easy choice to have the monolith 12? delivered free @ 115 pounds versus half the weight of competitors was a no brainer. Anyone that has experience with speakers knows the heavier the better, hence I bought this beast and don?t regret it at all. Still playing with the ports as that?s new to me. My velodyne was $750 versus $899 plush tax for this delivered to me. It delivers amazing lows with no vibration or distortion. Why wouldn?t you want a sub that?s twice as heavy due to magnet and high density board, it?s only been out since spring and it kicks ass.

Thumper
Excellent Sub at an excellent value. Performance is far superior to my 12" SPL Velodyne.

All of the Calories with none of the Fat
I?ve been using the Klipsch reference series speakers for my 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos home theater setup. The sound quality is excellent, especially since my recent change to using Separates for the Marantz Processor and the Monoprice Monolith 11 channel amp, but the subwoofer frequencies always seemed off and I couldn?t dial them in. I have the Klipsch R-112SW (12? sub) and just added this new Monoprice M-12 V2 12in THX sub. Now that I can hear them essentially side-by-side, I really am amazed at how much ?tighter? the low frequencies are on the Monoprice. Where my Klipsch is adding a lot of low rumbling, the Monoprice is adding clear tones that you feel shake the room, but it doesn?t add all the low rumbling that essentially just fills the space with noise across that low spectrum. So I get the punches that you want in an action movie, without all the mess down in that register. I can?t say I?ve done my due diligence in testing speaker location changes, because this Monoprice is Heavy!

Super nice looking and sounding home theater subwoofer.
I bought this sub to replace my 26 year old Cerwin Vega Ht 15. Huge upgrade for us. The M12-V2 Monolith sub plays much deeper and louder than my old 15" Cerwin Vega. We are so happy with it we are about to buy a second one next month. We could not be anymore happy with our purchase. That being stated. What was suppose to be a 3 day delivery time turned into a 12 day fiasco of no one knowing where the sub was. When it finally arrived the box was beat to heck and back. Luckily the sub was not harmed. This was the inky reason it got a 4 out of 5. Without the problems it is a 5 all the way.
