Is all seriousness, 50 watts just isn't enough.

I had this sub with the Energy Take Classic knockoffs that Monoprice sold and got in trouble with. It was for our living room.
The family room had a massive Polk RTi and SVS Plus 2 sub.
I just wanted something better than a soundbar for the front room.
That little system rocked. And that 8" sub corner loaded always amazed me.
I highly recommend this sub. For music and movies. It did a fantastic job. You won't feel it, but you will hear it. Nice compact size, too.
If your tv doesn't have an RCA or headphone jack out, you'll need a receiver. Most soundbars allow you to hook up a subwoofer as well.
Use the RCA and not the speaker wire inputs. You'll get much better control of the output with an RCA. Add a y adapter if your amp doesn't have a specific sub output.

Most soundbars do not natively support a regular subwoofer. Some will have a manufacturer made "subwoofer module" (for example: Bose Solo soundbars only support the "Bose bass module" which is a custom made subwoofer add on)

You can't just fork the RCA "line in" cables to go to both the soundbar and the subwoofer. You need to have only the low frequencies go to the subwoofer. They sell in-line "mixers" that will split the frequencies so that low go to sub and rest go to soundbar, but sound quality will be reduced and by the time you're done buying the extra equipment and setting it up, you're better off buying a new soundbar (or better still, getting a cheap used AV receiver and doing a low-end 2.1 speaker setup)

If you have a receiver, then a sub like will plug right in, no fuss.

I feel like this could pair well with my JBL 104 desktop reference monitor speakers. Audiophiles: Would this work well for that situation? If so, what type of interface do I use to pair the two together? Thanks!

There is no need for a "mixer." The sub has a crossover. Whatever frequencies are fed to it, the sub will not reproduce any greater than what is set via the freq control (max of 150 Hz on this sub.)

I bought this sub in a previous sale at this price. I pair it with my Insignia powered bookshelf speakers and my Audio Technica LP60XBT turntable. It added the right amount of bass that I needed for my modest setup in the living room. Great price for what it is.

Is the "premium" 8 in offering from Monoprice much better? I don't mind spending up to $120 or so. I would be using in a small to medium room with Edifier 1700bts. I prefer tight, solid bass moreso than big boomy rumbles.

You are going to have to pay a lot more money that what you have budgeted if you are looking for tight, punchy bass. Probably way better off looking on used markets.
