I picked this up via online order for $699. As soon as I placed my order and sent back to the page where it is listed and it was immediately $899 which is the going sale price on this unit everywhere currently. I didn't see anyhwere that said it was a open box, etc. So, hopefully, when received it is all good. Great price for sure!

It's a slickdeals promotion. Adorama and SD does it often where clicking through the link is cheaper than what's listed on the website when searched.

I see the monolith 15" is on sale for 1,099 now. What's a better option this klipsch or the monolith? I also have a courtesy 15% discount with monoprice so it would come out to $935.

Room is 18X12, the mono has 1000 watt amp, Klipsch has 500 watt. Also the mono weights around 50lbs more.

Quote from Waygzh :
ELI5 why? Especially vs what is supposed to be a much better sub?

I'm looking at setting up my own home theater in a 16x30 room with a 160" screen and a 4K projector and while the screen and projector aren't too difficult to choose, the whole audio setup is exceptionally complicated. Especially with a large room where we're using half for a chilling area/theater and the other for like ping pong and a bar.

5.1.2, 7.1.4, 9.2.4, etc. It's all getting to be a lot I'm about to just do a 5.1.2 with some upfiring floors and a big woofer, especially since I'm probably just going to run conduit on a wall so I don't kill myself running wiring, lol
Two subwoofers will provide more even bass distribution throughout the room. If you play a test tone on a subwoofer, let's say at 35hz, and walk around a room, you will notice areas that have a lot of bass (peak) and areas that have very little bass (null). This is due to the room and cancellations that happen with reflections.

Having two subwoofers helps evens this out. Again proper placement will be key, but the hope is the second subwoofer can fill the gaps in the spot there is a null because the second subwoofer is in a different location with different cancellations/reflections.

Adding a second subwoofer spaced apart adds +3db of output. Adding a second subwoofer right next to the first subwoofer (side by side or stacked) will add +6db of output. So while you gain some output by adding a second subwoofer, the main point of spacing them out is to even out the bass in a room .

If you have one spot in your room where you want good bass, or your single subwoofer setup provides good bass coverage to your listening positions, you don't need dual subwoofers. If you have differences in bass between your listening positions or have a wide area that you would like to cover evenly, then dual subwoofers may be the better option for you.

Calibrating, picking locations, and setting up dual subwoofers is more challenging than a single subwoofer, but there is some information online about picking the right location.

1x rp1400sw destroys 2x spl120? Currently have 2x spl20s, thinking is it worth to upgrade to this.

Well, I was planning on ordering the PB1000 pro, but now I have this coming. Comments made it seem like a no brainer to spend a little more here; was I correct?

Can anyone speak to how this performs compared to a monolith 12 v2?

Would it be advisable to pair this with a monolith 12 or is it better to have 2 subs that are the same brand and model

What do I need to drive this monster?

I'm woefully uneducated in the audio dept. I have some cheap Yamaha receiver (rx-v385)and a pair of Jamo Concert C93 Series 2 speakers which it seems my receiver can hardly drive.

I'm assuming I'll need to open my wallet a bit after dropping $700 on a sub.

Can you throw this in the trunk of a car? I'm having a mid-life crisis and want to be a middle-aged guy bumping some trap-music through my suburban neighborhood, hopefully embarrassing my sons in the process.

I mainly want it for my home.

I'm not rich but I'm at a point where I'm thinking of purchasing a $700 sub and upping my audio game. If anyone has suggestions on a bare-bones setup that doesn't come with some asburb audio snob cost, I'd appreciate it.

Same... makes sense to go dual while you can at this price else you'll get yourself stuck. If you end up downsizing it's an easy sell-off at cost.
