Which one should I get?

Might be helpful to use the onboard dsp in a sub, but I'd rather have external dsp/control and capable of multiple subs. Overall I'd still rather have the higher performing sub myself, so another vote for the Monolith.

Your just throwing changes out there and you don't even know if anything even hit the board
