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.

Did anyone not get a cancellation? I ordered pretty early when there were only 3-4 pages/8pm CDT.

I was excited all morning, now I'm bummed and have no sub to look forward to. Wondering if anyone got in on it.
I ordered pretty late but didn't get a cancellation or shipping confirmation

I've had my order canceled for a single unit 13 times in a little over the last two weeks (pre-sale price), so I'm not holding my breath that they actually ship any this time....

In for 1 before they sell out. Hard to pass up for $644 after tax. Was originally planning to go with an RSL Speedwoofer 12s for $800 but I'll give the Monolith a shot at this price. Already have 2 of the Monolith 10 in front which sound great but always wished they had more depth. Planning to put the 13 behind the theater seats facing sideways.
My order got cancelled at 10:33am PST. I ordered at ~3am when still 'in stock'. Oh well. Might actually be blessing then with the amp issues and CS Support pains I've been reading about here.

Thanks! Why all the thumbs down? Your feedback was quite helpful (:

Still juggling between "enough" performance, longativity (aka amps won't die), and cost.

The Bowers and Wilkins ASW610 @ half off and for $450 is so attractive, but this for $200 more has literally 10x power. And then SB-3000 for $750 is great too, heard so many great things about SVS but never owned a piece. I have the ASW610 in box but leaning toward returning it...
You should give a google to Sweetchaos's subwoofer comparison sheet. There's some huge differences between the B&W ASW610 and SVS-3000, and pretty big differences between the SVS-3000 and this Monolith. Some other top brands are HSU and RythmikAudio, RSL's Speedwoofer is pretty great for the price point. The best subwoofer for you is subjective though, as everyone has different opinions of what they want from a sub. Also consider room size. The 13" Monolith hits harder than the 15" Monolith and is plenty to fill a 5000sqft room. The SB-3000 will struggle to fill a 2000sqft room and has a much weaker 20hz output so you won't feel that impact (movies), but it should sound just fine for music.
As for longevity all of these tend to fail for electronics first - the amplifiers fry. Monoprice's big negative has always been their RMA process does not allow just RMAing the amplifier - however the 13" and 16" DO allow RMAing just the amplifier.

There's also some pretty solid DIY kits that are the best bang for the buck (assuming there's no dream deals like this $1100 discount)

Happy thumping Smilie

Second order just got canceled, too. One was placed yesterday before they went on sale with over 200+ units still in inventory.

Thanks for the report anyway! They either made a mistake, have abysmal inventory count, or never had any to begin with.

Now I don't have to move the 150lb SVS sub upstairs. Saving $$ for the large panel OLED sales this month, I suppose!

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
Surprise surprise. Cancelled again

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
You should ask the same rep what's up with the cancellations?
