Deal Details
Monoprice has a number of open box subwoofers at very attractive prices

Some of them are

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38201
10" ported V1 $429.00 > $429.99
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38202
12" ported V1 $679.00 > $679.99
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38203
15" ported V1 $999.00 > $999.99
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=44577
16" ported $1495.00
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=42579
Dual 15" ported $1799
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=40951
15" sealed $999
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=39693
12" sealed $680.00

I suspect that some of these that are discontinued such as the V1 10,12 and 15 are new units and just left over stock
30 day returns and 5 year warranty

You have to pay shipping costs on returns for non defective merchandise

They will not exchange an open box product with a " new" one should you have performance or shipping damage issues at delivery. You will have to return and rebuy a "new" one. They will exchange if they have another open box unit in stock

For those that have concerns about amp failures. They will ship out an new amp for warranty purposes. That has been confirmed many times on AVS forum and a couple of times for buyers here on slick deals as well
Their sales manager regularly participates in conversations on AVS forum

I have three Monolith subs in my main theater listening area and I have been consistently impressed with their performance over the 2-3 years I have owned them

If you can accommodate it..the 15" V1, at this price is amazing.
The 12" and up are very heavy and large
Do yourself a favor and measure your space and be prepared to have help if you need to accommodate stairs

Looks like a lot of returns from previous sales.

Great subs, I have 2 15"s and just got a 16" from a local seller for $1,200.

Killer setup! Been a long time since a lot of these(v1) were for sale, let alone on sale.

I noticed some of these "open box deals" in the 12, 15, 16, a while back. Excluding the 16", surprised they were priced higher than a new M-12 V2 I purchased a few months ago in a sale. I guess the recent 20% off didn't work on these? Their codes lack sense on how they will randomly apply. A full priced, in stock sub, meeting all requirements, will not work with code yet one on sale will work and end up a slick deal. Also random, I have no idea how I never knew these sealed versions ever existed.

Yeah, their coupon codes all over the place. I think a lot of the times they work by mistake.

Now just need the HTP-1 to come back into stock.

The HTP-1 was in stock last week...for a couple of days any way
I had been watching that as well a while back but ended up going with an Arcam pre/pro

The V1 Monolith 10 was subject to their 20% code last week, $344 total. I grabbed 2 of those at that price.

I had also previously grabbed a third Monolith 16 for a different 7.1 setup when they had the $200 off coupon. $1514 all in delivered.

Keep in mind that many of their open box subs and speakers DON'T have free shipping which might kill the deal.

The 16, sealed models and many speakers are subject to shipping charges.

Also, the Monolith 15 V2 can be had quite regularly for $1099 on Amazon so just a consideration for those looking.

yes, the Monolith 15 V2 can be had quite regularly for $1099 on Amazon so just a consideration for those looking. It is on heavy side on its weight.

Lot of quality control issues with subwoofers - some of them are dead on arrival and some needs plate amp replacement on brand new subwoofers.

HTP-1 had similar issues and it was pulled off from the website.

Anyone interested read AVS forum for more info or join one of the Facebook Monoprice group.

I hope they come back quickly with quality control because they are the best when it comes to price to performance.

I thought the open box subs don't qualify for free shipping.

not with those shipping prices, especially since you assume all the risk if you buy open box pay shipping to send back that's like potentially 500 for me

I didn't realize they had issues with their processors.

Regardless, if you read AVS Forum you'd believe every monolith sub is DOA. The reality is they probably sell 30-1 compared to some of the ID companies so they'll definitely have more people posting their issues.

Maybe I've been lucky but I have had several Monolith subs over the past few years and all have been trouble free.

If it's DOA they're paying return shipping. Otherwise they're covered under their 5 year warranty so if they can't fix it or send parts they'll have to send a new sub.

I'm guessing even one of these would be massive overkill for my TV room. 12*15 so only 180 sq ft?

How did the open box v1 Monolith 10 look like. Any damages or anything?
