I'm not sure I'd use the term audiophile but I definitely dabble, and i would not "snub my nose" at this. Used appropriately and with proper expectations this could add much needed low end to your living room movie night. Very easy to get $50 worth of "utility" out of something like this if you treat it with care, in my opinion.
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.
No, this will be fine for what you want. Another nice 8" sub which is no longer made is the Mirage Omni S8. Check your local CL or FBM. For $75 or so, very hard to beat. The S10 is even better, but very hard to find.
Ordered this to pair with my 1280DBs's I just picked up. I plan on using them for my PC. Am I better off trying to get a used sub 10" or more? I wont be turning it up that loud since I am right in front of my PC so I figured 60w should be plenty.
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.
I've been searching for a budget soundbar with sub-out and ARC (to control volume through TV remote), but those Yamaha's are just a little out of reach. Any recommendations for soundbars that support this subwoofer?

You might want to consider the JBL 550p on sale for $200 right now. It's a sealed sub so is very tight and great for music. I have one myself and I love it. The next step up from there is going to be $400-500 for a speedwoofer, one of the SVS models, or similar.
Would you rather have this or the Sony SACS9 10 in for $140 in like New condition?
Get the Sony. Or the Elac.
I realize this is cheaper, but the sound/bass response is cheap as well. Could work for someone who's on a very, very tight budget. Had it, didn't like it. Replaced it with the 10" Elac for $40-50 more and couldn't be happier (for a budget sub).

I added this to a pair of 1280s with a Chromecast audio. Pretty happy with it in a small office.
i have a concern/questions if someone can help answer. i have an old vizio soundbar. it has red&white/R&L, optical, and aux. input and one rca purple sub out line. how can i connect this subwoofer to that soundbar to have it work? i dont see this subwoofer have a 1 line sub input. do i need to get an RCA 1 male to 2rca cable? (to plug into soundbar output)?

Would this work with Edifier R1280DBs? They're active speakers, no audio video receiver. They have an input in back of the speaker to connect a subwoofer, but not sure if it has to be a passive or active one.

According to Q&A on Monoprice.com product web site…should be good going single RCA to single RCA
