Usually the left line in acts as the LFE port if theres not a dedicated one. Cant wait for impressions!

Yes, that's what I meant. My HT lingo is rusty.

I guess you can use the L as the input like it was said above but seems wasteful with the connections..

MikeCL · 09-10-2011, 10:05 AM

Or how about this?

That amplifier is identical to my Acoustic Audio HD-SUB12 that i bought a year ago. The AA is listed as a 400watts rms amp though. Monoprice sub looks good, really curious how it sounds.

why couldn't you use an rca splitter (y cable) to plug a single rca cable into the left/right inputs on the back of the sub?

when i had my infinity 12" sub it had a left/right input. i just used a y cable to connect it to the rca from the receiver. although i used a much higher quality one than the one i posted; i just did that for a pic reference.

I could not find any on the monoprice site :-/

they're basically the same thing anyway.

the one i posted just has cables where the one you posted doesn't.

they both do the same job.

I also have an AA HD-SUB12 that I bought about a year ago. It does look very similar to mine, but mine has a phase switch, and the speaker level inputs are near the bottom, instead of on the top left.

I used my AA sub for a few days just running direct to the left input. When I added a splitter, I didn't think it would really make much of a difference, but it did. I don't really know why, but it gave it a much hotter input signal. I had to turn it down quite a bit, which is a good thing.

I would really like to hear a review of that 12" Monoprice sub. For that amazing price, it's a very nice looking sub!

MikeCL · 09-10-2011, 05:02 PM

I rather it hang down then stick out and get broken or something.

Yeah, but my amp looks identical, no joke! here's a picture of the back of my hd-sub12.

And again the Monoprice subs back for comparison..

No big secret though that most things are made at a single location/factory. People buy brands. Strong marketing can do wonders.

Zombienietzsche · 09-11-2011, 03:09 AM

Holy Crap, I am going to buy two and total cost with shipping is only $208. So Awesome.

StalkerVette · 09-11-2011, 05:47 PM

For the price, when I get back from Thailand I'm going to order one for the office system.

Yep this has been going on for awhile.

jsr · 09-13-2011, 04:28 AM

That's just stupid cheap. The 12 in actually looks quite nice. Those prices are cheaper than most enclosures alone.
Anyone have one yet? I'm curious to know wall thickness and such.

JimShaw · 09-13-2011, 04:41 AM

I find this thread very interesting and wanted to make a post to make sure I kept up with the info.

MikeCL · 09-13-2011, 03:50 PM

2 reviews are up on the monoprice site

aimless · 09-13-2011, 06:35 PM

I wish the 12 came in a darker finish.
