Product Details:
  • THX® Certified Ultra: THX® engineers completed hundreds of different scientific tests to ensure the highest audio performance possible. The tests ensure the speaker can reach the high volumes necessary to achieve THX Reference Level, without creating audible distortion or artifacts. THX® Certified Ultra products are designed for large rooms, up to 3,000 cubic feet in size, with a 10~12 foot viewing distance from the screen.
  • 13" Woofer: The Monolithâ„¢ 13" driver was developed from the ground up, with a design focus on achieving output, accuracy, dynamics, and linearity, while minimizing distortion. It is enclosed in a cabinet made from HDF material, with massive internal bracing, and outfitted with three ports that can use foam plugs to run the subwoofer in sealed, semi‑sealed, or ported mode, as you see fit.
  • 2000 Watt Amplifier: The 2000‑watt (RMS) amplifier (3800+‑watt peak) is built around a Texas Instruments® 48‑bit data path, with 28‑bit filter coefficients, and DSP engine. Each amplifier's transfer function, power output limiting, and thermal protection are monitored to the millisecond and are customized for each individual driver. The high efficiency Class D amplifier modules are based on a proven topology that has been continuously refined over the past 8 years. The amplifier has vast reserves of power for highly accurate, deep bass for your home theater or music system.

My friend that works at monoprice told me about this deal and has confirmed that most of the subs on this sale are in fact new items. Monoprice are simply trying to meet sale quotas before the end of year. That explains why so many in stock!
I wish they would sell out so I could stop considering these.
As someone whose Monolith 12 v2 amp died after 15 months and is currently going through an RMA process, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. If it had the full 5 year warranty, it would be tempting.

Insane deal $585 for a $1,700 subwoofer. Talked with a monoprice representative and said they had over 200 in stock at around 1pm. Ordered 2, now just have to work overtime to recover money.

*fyi these do have a 90 warranty instead of the 5 year

I've had this open-box order (for the 13 inch) canceled on me twice in the past couple months. Hoping the third time is the charm

This or two smaller much less powerful subs.... People talk a lot about dual being cleaner/smoother.

I agree. Unless they simply want to move some inventory that they felt wouldn't move and are selling it at cost to sure up some financials. Simply relabeling it.

Only free return if the item is defective or damaged in shipment.

Update: I gave in. I pulled the trigger

Update to my Update: One of the first to order and still got cancelled.

I'm also interested as to why there are quite a bit of these available for open box.

I'm guessing this is a massive bump in output from my SVS PB2000?

I thought monoprice said even open box comes with 5 yr warranty. so tempted but got a single 15" monoprice (which to be honest is enough). makes more sense to save for new avr that will have dirac art license option (rumored to be coming to other manufacturers). either dirac art will magically smooth out 1 sub or make me realize I need a 2nd sub...

edit: hmm...funny how the 2 reviewers bought 15" previously then bought the 13". I guess it's not to bad pairing 13" and 15" since they perform about the same. just 13" has more impact due to 2000 watts.

People probably get them, realize how big and heavy they are, and send them back.

Killer deal. In for 1. Already have the 15", but did not buy the 13" because of the price difference.
