I have three new Monolith 12" sitting in my garage waiting for a new owner :-( ... 15" are way to go.

If you're going to upgrade those PSAs, which really isn't actually going to be a huge upgrade, just contact PSA and buy their newer subwoofers. Or Rythmik. The warranty on these is a joke.

Not much of a difference? I guess on paper what i have vs these looks far inferior. Also, it's been 7 years so very old.

HSU also makes good subwoofers, and the VTF-15H is going to be an upgrade. Maybe not quite to the level of the Monolith, but it's also not made by a trash can of a company where you shouldn't be surprised if they never help you two years down the road.

Tom, the founder and owner of PSA, is an awesome guy and will bend over backwards to help customers. That alone is worth quite a bit to me plus the performance on the new ipals are insane.

10% off MSRP.
Great deal. Down to 14Hz!

I have had 2 since Nov 2020. Not 1 issue.

Just posted by Audioholics: Are sealed subwoofers more musical than ported subs?

LMFAO...the Monolith warranty is a joke and then use HSU as a suggestion and they have a worse warranty?

I have had no issues with the Monolith customer service. I have bought a multichannel amp and two of the Monolith subwoofers
One was missing a power cord and they shipped me one out in 1 day

Yep. HSU VTF 15H is same price. I have one and I'm very happy with it. Last I checked, they weren't in stock though.

Probably much better value then the PSA's will dig deeper and harder. Nothing out there goes to 14Hz at this price point, if you're looking for that sub sonic range and/or large output, nothing comes close to this performance at this price point. The ~$2k Subs from SVS compete with these

Monolith now sends you only amps there is no need to send the whole thing back anymore, these are also with 5 yr warranty which requires other places to pay some more for it. Use a CC with extended warranty to get more like Citi Costco card etc. I've 2 of these and nothing else comes close to this in terms of price performance.
