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 for large sized rooms, up to 3,000 cubic feet in size, with a 10 12 foot viewing distance from the screen.
15" Woofer: The Monolith 15" driver was developed from the ground up, with a design focus on achieving output, accuracy, dynamics, and linearity, while minimizing distortion. Enclosed in a cabinet made from HDF material, massive internal bracing, and outfitted with three ports that can utilize foam plugs to run the subwoofer in a sealed mode.
1000 Watt Amplifier: The 1000W RMS amplifier 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 6 years. The amplifier has vast reserves of power for highly
Cabinet and Internal Bracing: HDF (High Density Fiberboard), not MDF, was utilized resulting in a sonically inert cabinet. Internal bracing has been strategically placed to increase overall cabinet strength and limit unwanted panel vibrations that would cause discoloration and distortion. The strong cabinet and bracing combine to ensure you hear massive amounts of bass, not cabinet resonances.
All Amp'd Up: The Monolith subwoofer amplifier has an extraordinarily high power output of 1000 watts RMS (1800 watts peak), which can deliver massive amounts of power when needed. Each Class D amplifier is built around a Texas Instruments 48 bit data path (with 28 bit filter coefficients) DSP engine, allowing virtually unlimited design flexibility with the assurance of no signal degradation.

This subwoofer would be great if it wasn't open box. They only cover one year with it
No. Monolith open box has same warranty as new one. Be wary of open box ones though, they Don't do proper testing on returned ones. I bought one and it had the infamous amp problem, where it keeps blinking red. Test thoroughly if you buy

If this is the case you could just have them ship you new one right? This might be a solid buy then at this price.

Description on their site says "This Open Box product comes with a 90-day Limited Product Warranty."
Just wanted to post a heads up for anyone considering these.
Price seems great but if you end up getting faulty ones, it becomes a huge hassle. In my case, both subs had issues. On one the amp was making the water/air sound, it's a common issue. On the other one, the driver was bad. Monoprice support did pay for return shipping so that was good but still shipping back almost 300 lbs on a pallet is not trivial by any means. Just food for thought
Ah the good ol' Monolith subwoofer fiasco. Can't support a business that cancels customers orders.
Lost me as a customer when they pulled their last prank, happily bought dual klipsch 1400sw. Plus 5 year warranty on the whole sub. Probably dodged a bullet due to Monoprice faulty amps.

They won't exchange open box for new ones. Either refund or exchange to another open box

That's there always. You can contact monoprice support to confirm what I mentioned
