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.

What is more of a question is if you don't care about high end audio, why are you in a thread for it?

Maybe you should get one m15 to pair wit the existing m12. Both being monoliths, I guess it should be good
That's no bueno, difficult to balance.
Yes, they have a different driver size, different frequency range.
Any thoughts in that case on whether I should stick with a 12 inch or move to a 15 inch for a 2000 cu ft room. Do I get more advantage than just loudness? I hear some folks saying 15 inch monolith is not as taut as 12. No plans for duals right now
"Thank you for patiently waiting. I sincerely apologize but I have confirmed that both products can definitely be paired in the same room even though their loudness and response will be different at the same frequenceies. but they will pair fine as duals in a room."
Maybe this means they are not technically as good as SVS folks?

You can pair any sub you want, if you want a proper setup you'll want them at the same size at least, esp if you use automated calibration devices.
I agree. I currently have the Monolith 15 in addition to a 12" alpine I repurposed from my car audio days. I have one up front and one in back rather than both in the same plane. I feel this works reasonably well. Measurements are required for proper placement. Get a good mic, REW and some time/patience to get the most even/flat response. Also play with phase control.
Received mine a few weeks ago. I bought as open box. Got it dialed in with my kilpsch 12rd and loving it. Hope you are enjoying yours. Didn't see my FedEx guy bring it down but yeah it was massive lol
Look up Adire Audio. The original ownership. Best engineered drivers of the day. They even had a product ready to market called the Parthenon. It will make the Monoprice feel like child's play.
Returning 15 inch and keeping my 12 inch(not because of this, but because of the cosmetics). Please understand my opinion is as it behaves OOB without any dialling in.
Gain: +5 DB, Extended on. Even without any adjustments, I was honestly expecting the 15 to be as tight as the 12 inch one(which it is OOB), but turned out to be boomier than I liked.
Maybe will order another 12 inch in the future and convert to duals.
So far my preliminary conclusion agrees with what I read in forums on the tightness. I will try room correction again next week before it gets picked up and report if it makes me feel any different.
