Get the Dayton CS1200 (improved legendary Sub-1200) for a little more and you have something that both sounds good and where you have a much higher chance of finding a replacement plate amp if it ever fails than with this disposable China sub. Nothing against mono as a company and I have some of their THX speakers which are awesome.

Wow great reviews saying great room shaking sound, Butterworth approved all for $180!

Now that sounds like a great price-to-performance winner!!!

You could almost get two for the price of the popular RSL 10e!!!

People often say two is better than one & this is bigger & 12" not a 10" like the 10e!!!

The Dayton only has 200 watts vs. 400 for the Monoprice, the Dayton uses spring clips instead of binding posts for speaker level connections, and is also made in China. The reviews on Monoprice don't mention a single amp failure, so I'm not seeing the benefit of the Dayton.

Good points.
IF the Dayton was a better choice "for a little more", that's around $60(on sale).

"For a little more" the RSL 10e might be the better choice.

If I recall, the RSL 10e is made in China also.

For subs honestly what I found for theater at least you need a 15". Plus low end extension cheap subs like this just won't do. Max db output imo don't matter as much as low range and box tuning for 17Hz.

Well that's a whole other rabbit hole question/topic!

You're gonna get a vast difference of opinions on that question, especially taking into account the cost of the performance difference!
