    Default Monoprice subwoofers

    What do you guys think about these $84 12-inch 150W powered subwoofers from monoprice?

    They look kind of like the EMP/RBH subwoofers?

    I think, you can't even get a quality 12" subwoofer DRIVER with demodulating circuits and meaningful excursion for $84 unless it's for a car

    But it might not be bad. Dunno. Without measurements it's a crapshoot. Subjective reviews are rarely helpful with subs.

    Most of us love monoprice cables and stuffs.

    But have you ever even heard of a 12-inch 150WPC Powered Subwoofer that actually looks kind of decent that sells for $84????

    That's just CRAZY!

    BTW, DenPureSound (retired electrical engineer who mows his lawn every week) pointed that monoprice subwoofer out to me.

    Yep, this would certainly needs to be tested. How can one go wrong for this price though? You can buy 4 for next to nothing and may have a very good effect.
    Hard to know how they can do it for this $: driver, amp, box, etc.

    I really want to see an in depth review of these. For $85 you really can't complain, but I imagine they won't go deep and will only be suitable for small music systems.

    I think you, Highfigh, and InTheIndustry should try these out and let us know.

    I heartily agree

    p.s: Box looks similar, but totally different driver:

    Emp:
    TV: TC-P55ST30 , AVR: TX-SR805. The Speaker Company 2x TST2, TC2, 2x TSB , Premier Acoustic PA-120 Sub, Netgear NeoTV 550, Harmony 880 URC RFS200, PC->Toslink-> Audioengine D1->JBL LSR2325P
    When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

    The monoprice box seems to have larger dimensions.
