Monolith 15" 1000W ported subwoofer $1200($240 discount)

These don't go on sale all that often, so here we go with my 1st post.

I have a pair of the 12" little brothers already, or I would be on this! The 12" version is awesome, this is considerably better.

Ah just in time for my new neighbors that moved in next door... let me show them who's the boss...
This is a long read but has pretty good info on how audioholics (one of the trustable and knowledgeable reviewers out there) certify each subwoofer they review https://www.audioholics.com/louds...-room-size if you want to skip all reading, the monolith 15 is extreme certified which means this should easily fill spaces greater than 5000 cu feet. Hope this helps
Picture is only half of the movie.
What is more of a question is if you don't care about high end audio, why are you in a thread for it?

If you have $30,000 and want a setup more befitting the "monolith" name, or you need flat frequency response down to 5 Hz, then perhaps this would fit your living room better:

That is a 12' projector screen for size reference.
Only 12'??? The crap to the left and right are just as big. LOL

I have the SVS PB16 Ultra. It sounds utterly fantastic. I know other subs can go deeper and louder, but it meets my needs well. It also has very low distortion at volume, great looks, great electronics, and excellent software. Also I can pick it up locally. I thought about selling it and getting two 18" subs, but... do I need to shake the building with subsonics and pay with higher distortion in the frequencies I can hear? Meh.

Also audioholics is legit. As is databass.

I researched a lot on subs and finally ended DIY'ing instead of buying pre-build. Best decision ever. 26 inch NSW pro driver in a horn base baltic birch plywood cabinet and a crown xls 2502 amp powering it. 2500 watts of bass heaven for $1100 and 2 weekends of fun build.

I want one of these!!! Or a similar subwoofer!!

When my new house is completed, I'm Giving the ex wife my 5.1 Sonos with Playbar setup. While I think it's a fantastic wireless system, I miss my old wired setup, which I since have set up in my master bedroom. With the Sonos, I "hear" the bass... with my old wired setup with an old Paradigm sub, I "feel" the bass.

Decisions, decisions...

Same reason people pay for luxury cars or any higher end product. At some point you have to comprise between your wallet and "better", this point is just different for everyone.

Patiently waiting on a deal for the Monolith 10...
I had one and quickly returned for an HSU VTF2-MK5 and it was a dramatic difference of higher quality.

Some bassheads like to shake their house AND their neighbors' houses

I picked up 2 of these when they went on sale a couple of weeks (months?) ago. I'm very very happy with their performance so far. Interstellar going into the black hole - freaking amazing. It's a new theater build, so I can't speak to comparisons to other models out there, but I know I'm extremely happy with the 2 I have.

UM18 in a ported enclosure? Of course the 18 will have more output. In a sealed enclosure it will have similar output though the monolith will have the advantage up too port tune, but then the sealed 18 will extend much lower probably at least into the low teens and then some. I have a UM15 in a sealed enclosure and it extends into the teens with room gain and a little eq. If I remember correctly, I'm around 16hz at -3db with shallow slope towards single digits.

I have two Rythmik FV15HPs and a SVS PB12-plus. All of them are great subs. I highly recommend doing duals instead of singles in almost every scenario.
