I am amazed. Sub Arrived quickly from Monoprice. I have read many negatives about this little guy, however I cannot find any issues in the first hour of use. Here are the facts. I own a pioneer AV Receiver, so it of course has a dedicated Sub pre-out like most do. 1. Opened the box (very clean wood smell, black and could still slightly smell the stain. elegant finish) 2. Took the plastic off after the foam inserts. VERY well packaged directly from the manufacturer 3. Plugged in the power, plugged in the y-cable I bought separately to the back of the unit, then to my receiver. 4. Set the volume on 50% same with the crossover knob. it goes from 50HZ to 150HZ and it's around 75-80HZ in the middle. 5. Set my crossover at 100HZ on the receiver and volume for the sub (the receiver's volume) at 0dB 6. I turned on some EDM from Juicy M in just stereo mode (no surround just 2.1) 7. BLOWN AWAY!! The low's are clean, no distortion at high volumes (obviously reasonably high with some vibration in my glass tables in a 14x10 room) beats are punchy, not muddy and very smooth and tight sounding. I own a 2 bedroom apartment. This wasn't to blast the windows off, but I needed something that was small enough (why I got 8" not larger) that I could still hear clean, and punchy bass at low volumes. The driver in this unit performs clean and punchy bass even at the "midnight" setting which takes 80% of the power out of the sub, but it still performs where you can hear the bass and lower-end in even dialogue well For less than $70, I'm seriously blown away by the price, value and performance of this little sub. Thank you, Monoprice! Keep it up! Read full review

I needed a smaller subwoofer for my laptop sound system (which has Bluetooth). I am running a Vizio SB3820 2.0 soundbar with a SUB-OUT. I connected this Monoprice subwoofer to it and set the values to around mid-point. I wasn't expecting much from this subwoofer...but, holy smokes, great open and deep throaty bass. I own several powered subwoofers, my Dayton Audio 15" 150w being the largest. So, I know what good bass is like. I did an online subwoofer test on this 8" Monoprice...got audible bass down to 40 Hz. At that point it really starts to drop off. Not bad! I think the front firing port is an excellent idea...more natural sound with NO port noise or huffing. I leave the "Power ON" all the time. I think what impresses me the most is the amount clean bass down to 40 Hz. As for power output and RMS freaks...more than adequate at 60w and what I need it to do. For an average sized bedroom, den, or small living room theater system...not a bad choice. A larger room or higher volumes will require a second one of these or a larger subwoofer (I recommend the Dayton Audio 12" or 15" for earth shattering bass)...those are solid units at a great price tooRead full review

This item has excellent sound, easy to figure out the adjustments and setup. It was a great price to sense the manufacturer wanted considerably more money for it. It works well with the sound bar I got from viso.

This subwoofer does a terrific job for moderate wattage sound systems. Replaced my old sub in a 5.1 system and the monoprice sub fattened the sound beautifully. Crossover control helps match the existing frequency range and once gain was set, a great blend was created. If gain levels are appropriate, the sub does not distort, even when sudden booming action sequences appear. This is a great value!

Ordered this subwoofer to go along with my pair of Mackie CR3 Studio monitors for my PC. Bass level is amazing while not being overwhelming. It give more of a true bass quality rather than too much bass. Well worth the price.

I was a little worried that this subwoofer was too small and underpowered but it has plenty of bass and power. It has bass to spare. I only keep the bass gain up about half way and I have plenty of boom.

Had a coupon so $50 shipped. Using box with little Micca Origain amp. At low to mid volume this is great. Don’t expect slamming bass at high volume you will be disappointed. Added to my Bose 201’s just what I needed. -c.

This little sub is a nice replacement for the aging Awia it replaced. It's just enough ump to add that bottom to the satellite fron and center.

Well worth the cost. Good quality base for supporting mid range home surround set up. I would recommend to a friend.
