How much better will this be than our R-121-SW II? We got it at Best Buy for around the current Black Fri-Yay price (299.99) and loving it.

This or the RSL Speedwoofer 12S? Both get to 16Hz.

Your current sub only goes down to 28hz at -3dB. The RP-1400SW goes down to 16hz at -3dB. You are paying the extra money to hit down into subsonic frequencies.
What did you meant at -3DB? My receiver volume goes down negative from -32 all the way to zero as I increase the volume. Does your -3DB measure relate to that?

Lol, everyone was jumping on that open box Monoprice 13 a few weeks ago for cancellation emails. This is actually a good deal.
Monoprice ended up cancelling the orders? I recall there was elaborate thread of discussions..

It is in reference to frequency response. The -3db point is the point in frequency response where the output starts to roll off. Example, the rp1400 will have a flat response of output down to 16hz where the r121 will play flat only to 28hz.

When someone references -3db, it is basically just the point where the low frequencies start to roll off.
Human hearing range is 20hz to 20000Hz. Anything below 20 hz is felt rather than heard.

DB is for Decibels, loosely relates to volume, basically the lower the value, the quieter it is.

He was comparing the subwoofers frequencies. Not related to your receiver. The subwoofer from this post hits 16 hz (the frequency) at -3 db. Your subwoofer does 28 hz at - 3db. which in very basic terms means your subwoofer cant produce the lower frequencies at any reasonable volume that this one can.

Ordered the 12" version from Amazon last week for $650. Was going to send it back until I realized that would cost an additional $75.

Our over decade old polk505 finally died and was about to grab the 1200sw when I saw the price went back to 650. For 50 more, I think this is a much better deal, thanks op

To add the next level of specificity:
-3dB means 1/2 the volume of 'normal' so yes, starting to drop off. Next point is usually -6dB, so 1/2 volume (again). 'Tis a log scale.

Since no one asked, here are some specs:
83lbs
21" x 20" x 26"
500 watt rms class D amplifier
5 year warranty

Not sure why they didn't use a standard 15" driver. When this goes out of warranty, and if the driver fails, a 14" will be very hard to source.
