Hopefully more manufacturers will be willing to send me subs to check out, there are only a handful that I'm interested in. I generally need a little longer because I give about a month to allow for break in alone. This is one case where the extra time would have allowed me to sort out the weird anomaly with the response curve. It really bothers me that I couldn't sort it out for certain for this review.
I'm pretty sure the curve would have been corrected had I run room correction again. The only other thing I could think of is MAYBE Low Frequency Containment "LFC" was on, which reduces the low end response, but from past experience, I would expect it to be more of a dramatic change. LFC cuts a LOT of bass off, even on the lowest setting.
*Update* I'm fairly certain now that I did have LFC engaged in the lowest setting (LFC 1) based on taking graphs with the current subs. Very similar taper. I must have turned it on trying to cut down the infrasonic bass late at night and just forgotten.
None of that really matters though, this sub did great! The depth of presentation was ideal, both before and after room correction. The anomaly has no impact on my opinion, aside from the infrasonic issue. With more time, I probably could have figured out a hack to reduce the infrasonics, but maybe next time.
Another question to ponder, is my sensitivity to sealed subs actually a sensitivity to infrasonic bass? I will be exploring that, so subscribe, hit the notification bell, and stay tuned!
All in all, I welcome the Monolith 15 to "The List". It's well executed, and my only suggestion would be an infrasonic filter, which should be pretty inexpensive to incorporate into the Monolith 15's design. I want to check out the Monolith 10 at some point too.

I have the Monolith 15 (got it from Amazon when they made a mistake on the price and sold it for about the same as the Monolith 12). This sub brings a whole new level of awesomeness to music and movies and literally shakes the house. Everything sounds much more "full" and "smooth" for lack of better words.
Oh, and it should come with a "Use At Your Own Risk" warning! :D
That's quite a score!! Yeah, it definitely shakes the house, and a lot of relative subsonics. Deep bass subwoofers make EVERYTHING sound better. If you're running a single, grab another. Then you'll realize the true power and what this sub is capable of.
You should definitely check out the PSA subs too. Outstanding stuff & fantastic customer service.
Dude I love your channel and your input there is no other source for me. You’ve helped me so much I his past year. Thanks for your excellent videos.
I have a Sunfire True Subwoofer and that thing is tiny. But every time I fire it up I’m taken aback at how LOW that thing sounds, and the punch it has.
That being said, I’m getting two of these monolith subs for my theater build.
Thanks for the awesome videos! In your opinion, if you had to choose between 2 Monolith 15 vs 2 SVS PB 16 Ultras based on home theater performance for movies, which would you go with? I’m interested in both but what I really care about is that nice deep bass that you can hear and feel and was wondering if one produced that better than the other or were they equal in terms of performance. Thanks again!!!
Full disclosure, I'm an affiliate for both, so following my links can earn a commission. So financially, it's more advantageous to recommend the more expensive sub.
Additionally, SVS has been very supportive, in lending their products and providing expertise when I get stuck on something.
I can't get an email back from Monoprice, which is frustrating because I genuinely like their products and would like to do more reviews. It doesn't affect my opinion, but it's a fair disclosure.
I'm also not sponsored by SVS, so they don't direct my opinion, nor do they have any influence on my content or opinions.
All of that said, the PB-16 Ultras have the most explosiveness. They just kick harder at the same volume.
It's hard to explain, but the difference in power, and how they put that power down is noticable to me. 50% more RMS wattage. 1,000 vs 1,500 watts RMS. The super stiff cone and MASSIVE voice coil hit me harder with the PB-16 Ultras.
The Monolith 15 and the PB-4000 are very close in terms of explosiveness, with a very slight edge to the PB-4000.
I went from the PB-16 Ultras to the PB-4000's, and the difference was noticeable, and since the PB-4000 and Monolith 15 are so close, I don't think it's a stretch to say that the PB-16 Ultras are the most explosive. Just hits deeper in the chest at the same volume.
The Monolith has a definite edge in price, and also easier to move around, but the PB-16 Ultras are just outstanding overall, and the price reflects that. The ability to change the response curve with the SVS App is very useful, it's definitely more premium.
Either sub will knock your socks off. For both subs, I wouldn't plug any ports. Let those babies breathe.
Also, with either sub, you'll be to run a higher gain than most subs. You can see my Top 16 AVR Settings video for an explanation on that.
All of my Bass Hack videos will help you get the most out of whichever you decide to go with.
Let me know if that helps!
Awesome video! Next should be JTR & PSA subs!
Great review, thanks ! Owning a good old SVS Pb13 Ultra, do you think it could be paired with this Monolith, or would it be better to pair it with another SVS like a PB-3000 ?
Thanks for the review. I will probably be purchasing 2 of these subs soon. I was interested in the REW graphs that you posted with smoothing as well as the 10db resolution, I recommend 5db for more accuracy and info on subs performance. Also, do these subs come with port plugs to tune?
Thanks!
I purchased dual SVS PC-4000 subs and can’t wait for them to ship! These SVS subs replace two Velodyne FSR-15s that I purchased back in ‘00. The FSR’s still kick ass, but my wife hates the “big, ugly box!,” buts thinks the SVS “look like a piece of art.” Welcome to my world.
Svs are way too expensive. The monoprice 13" outclasses the pc 4000 and is half the price
Great review as usual thanks for sharing..
Its great to see an equivalent compared to the PB 4000 at a lower price point..
Quick question for you..
Was there any noticeable port chuffing below 20 Hz..???
Thanks!
Slight noise during the opening scene of Edge of Tomorrow, but only in Extended, not the THX EQ.
I don't judge subs too harshly for a little noise from that particular scene. It's just a pure torture scene. I would imagine that with one port plugged, it would be worse, but I didn't try it. Aside from that one scene, no problems.
The PB-16 Ultras have more port noise from that scene in Extended mode, but no noise at all in Standard Mode with all ports open. Still the best bass I've ever heard, and Standard Mode in the PB-16 Ultra sounds deeper anyway.
No noise from the 3000 or 4000.
Always appreciate you stopping by!!
Thanks for your reply..
Please keep sharing..
It's all fascinating.. 🙂🙂🙂
I just purchased the SVS PB1000 because the monolith was unavailable and I'm not really happy with the output of the pb1000 do you think the monolith 10in well be louder? Seeing how they go for the same price im debating returning the SVS.
Ps I watch all your videos keep up the good work..
I've been pretty thrilled with the output, I'd imagine it's a relatively issue.
Try more gain on the subwoofer.
Something you would need to do with the Monolith too.
If you are running duals, set it to between -10 to -13 on the PB-1000, and lower the subwoofer level on the AVR to -11.5 or so.
If you are running a single, set it to -6 to -10, and then order another one as soon as it's feasible.
See my countless videos on why. 😂
Set your crossovers on all of your speakers to at least 80-90, 120-150 hertz for small surrounds. Set them all to "Small".
Then watch all of my Bass Hack videos.
Gain hack, Adjusting subs by ear, Crossover Hack, Distance Hack, and pretty much everything else.
It will make a difference, with changes you won't find in your manuals.
The PB-1000 has plenty of output for 99% of people.
Duals are recommended for ANY subwoofer, and unless you are making it clip or make unhealthy sounds, there's still more in the tank.
This is a very common issues for deep bass subs, and you will encounter this issue with any sub I recommend. It's an easy, and VERY satisfying fix.
You can run more gain before it sounds overdone.
Let me know!
I’ve heard that the svs pb 1000 is louder than the monolith and the monolith sounds better for home theater and the svs sounds a little better for music (just what I’ve heard)
@@Subwoofer101 I have watched almost every single video u put out you do get work. I never got to try all the hacks cause my 5 year old onkyo took its last breath about a week after the Svs arive to my house. I just now bought a Marantz SR7015 I figured I needed to get away form onkyo its all i have bought since the late 90s. It seems like rite around 1999 there stuff just wast the same I even paid $600 in 99 for there frist 6 disk DVD pay and that stop working after 3 years😒 So I hope the marantz lives up to all the good reviews I have read. ANYWAY a guy just messaged me today that he would sell his pb svs for 300 so I'm going to pick that up so I have duals I got my frist 1 from parts experts for $400 but I think u said if I ever want to upgrade in a year I won't be able to because I did by it from svs that kind of sucks but I fig for $700 for 2 pb1000s u can't go wrong now I have to Rewatch all your videos🤪
Ps glad to see your okay alot of people were worried not hearing from u in awhile thanks for all that u do and please keep making videos about subs and home theater!!
@@tommyboy3731 Monolith 10" Thx is definitely better than pb1000 pro. Long term compression is where the main difference is.
@@pulDag I just have the PB1000 not the pro. Do u own the Monolith 10in and have you owned the pb1000? Just want to make the rite choice b4 I sell the PB1000. I lesson to 70 % movies and 30 % music. I'm help I'd appreciate thanks..
I was interested in the monolith 12 sealed! Have you heard them.
Q. Possibly the reason for the review of the Outlaw subs was for your dilike of down fire subs. From your very first few videos you made mention of that multiple times. Now I agree that the SVS and the Monoprice subs are great. I too search for deep. Probably the reason I have held on to my FSR 15 velodyne for so long. Just currious.
Great review!
New speakers do have a break-in period.
As you condition the cone (with some good bass) and the moisture in the cabinet materials slowly evaporates, the resonant frequency of each changes slightly.
Do you think this might explain your test results after a short time with these speakers?
Maybe, it just doesn't make sense based on the typical trend, which is to sort of loosen up the surrounds and spiders, allowing the same power to produce a touch more sound with the same gain.
I think something else happened, I just have no idea what. Seems electronic rather than physical, but I could be wrong. LFC is the most plausible so far, but still a weak guess.
In contrast, over the course of 3-5 months, I had to reduce the PB 16 Ultras by 4 dB, which is quite a bit. Normally it's .5- 2.0 dB. They got considerably louder, over a longer period than usual.
Great stuff as always! Have you heard any rythmik subs... I’ve read great things about their subs
Thank you for your in-depth reviews. I find them very helpful... Are you planning to review MK Sound's X-12 dual cone / push-pull configured subs by any chance? I am owner of an original M&K MX-145 from the early 90's (before they shut the company down and sold it to the Danish). Planning to move to a new house in the next year or so and I started to upgrade my whole AV system in preparation for a higher end setup. I am planning to get a pair of new subs and was wondering how the MK Sound's X-12s compare to the SVS PB-16s or PB-3000s. (MK sound claims the dual 12" cones in their subs are equivalent to a single 18"... which makes sense given the increased surface). I truly hope you cover this brand which was the pioneer of the sub/satellite game...
Hey man, do you think two of these would be good for a ~4600 ft space?
I have the Martin logan motion 40 as my front speakers and the slim xl for the rears.I am thinking about buying the svs sb2000 or the Martin Logan 1100X subwoofer.I am a baby when comes to the theory and practical side of the audio knowledge.Which of the two subs do you think will match up to my speakers.Also, what is the best receiver with an option to add power amp will match up to my speakers.I will appreciate answers to the above questions.Thanks in advance.
Neither would be my first choice, but between the two, the SB-2000. I would also prioritize duals. It might not seem that important, but the difference is transformative.
The two subs I would consider are the PB-1000 and PB-2000 as duals. Once you have those, check out my Bass Hack video series to get the most out of them. It will fill in music and movies.
If you wanted sealed, I would start with dual SB-3000's, since it has more power and the ability to shape the response.
As for AVR's, I like the Denon and Marantz products. The Denon x4500 is a great place to start. Great room correction, good bass balance once optimized (Bass Hacks), plenty of channels, and you can add external amps later.
Check out my subwoofer list for more details on why I have these opinions. The link is in the description of this video. Let me know if that helps!
Subwoofer 101 ,Thank you very much , i really appreciate your opinion.
Dual mono 15s or a single TV18?
Hello 🤗 I'm very happy I found your videos. You DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING 🥇🏆💯 .... I have two Monolith 10" subs. Well and they're Beasts. And a Old Definitive Audio 8000 cube subwoofer. I'm thinking about getting a Monolith 15" and let the old definitive audio subwoofer retire. I'm learning a lot from your channel thanks and keep up the good work Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours and everybody on the channel. ✌️❤️
Which 10 inch sub do you think is best for home theater??? Looking at svs PB 1000 $500, monolith 10inch $500 and klipsch 12 inch $249 bestbuy sale reg 499
personally Jay duals are so rich in sound & balance the room, depending on your budget i would go dual klipsch 12" or the dual svs if your budget allows it
@@clivedickens2817 thanks yes I currently have dual 10 klipsch but wanted more depth. For the price of 2 twelve's klipsch is the same as 1 svs. Lol
hi Jay, i really don't know how much difference the dual 12's will have over the 10's , it's funny i had a 12" klipsch then eventually i got duals which were great. maybe the dual svs pb 1000? i was very fortunate my wife saw my wish list & now i have dual svs pb 16" ultras ! these are in a different world & the depth of sound is truly quite something that i had been missing. subwoofer 101 will be more helpful in helping you choose he knows a lot more about this topic than me . cheers Clive
@@clivedickens2817 nice!!!!! Thanks for the advice. I bet those subs are amazing but my wife ain't having it ever! LOL
I couldn't believe it either! Just make sure your foundations are solid 🤣
Can you mix dual subs? I have a BK monolith plus (500w). Could I add one of these? I cant afford to get two you see!
Yes.
Such a shame they are not available in white. Performance wise, the Monolith THX is my favourite line of subwoofers in the budget price range.
i need help, i have a 10000 cubic foot room (living room, kitchen, and dining area). my theater seating is 20' away from front speakers. i have four klipsch forte II (two in front, two in rear), BIC Acoustech PL-28II Center Speaker. would 2 of these Monolith 15 ultras be enough bass to fill the room to the viewing position, and moderately sufficient for listening to music in the kitchen area? room is 24'W x 43'L x10' T with speakers on the 24' wall and theater seating 20' away.
I would like to know as well
One Monolith 15" is by Audioholics rated for 5000cubic foot, so two would do it. But the most crucial thing is to have them in ideal spots in the room. Easiest with umik+minidsphd
I'd look at dual 16" monoprice
which one do you think is better SVS PB 2000 not the pro or this subwoofer but the 12-in
The 12 of this I've owned the pb2000s and they are great but I have these in 15s and my friend has these in 12s but svs customer service is incredible but honestly for the price of the pb2000 well slightly more you can get dual 15inch hsu subs that walk all over both
Thanks for the honesty. However, I wish you had brought up the fact you don't like Infrasonic base before 6:45 so I could have stopped watching sooner. A subwoofer reviewer that doesn't like low notes. I have now seen it all.
Too much relative infrasonic bass will cause discomfort. It's even been weaponized. It can cause nausea, ringing ears, hearing loss, and a whole range of issues.
Also note that I absolutely enjoy the low notes, built a whole channel about it. But my priority is in the audible bass.
I'm talking about too much "RELATIVE" infrasonic bass. Relative is the important qualifier. More infrasonic bass than audible bass is problematic. You can't hear it, but it can still potentially damage your hearing.
I think if you heard and felt what I did, you would likely agree, but it's the internet, so I expect contrarianism.
Infrasonic bass is fine, so long as there is a decent taper below 20 hertz or so. When you don't have that taper, it can be uncomfortable, getting worse the higher the volume goes.
@@Subwoofer101 True, everyone is different. I prefer a house curve that just goes up the lower you go. Basically the opposite of the graphs you prefer. The graph you showed that shows a flat response in the infrasound range is awful to me. I'd want that range bumped up 10 decibels. I love that 10Hz note that makes you feel ill inside.
Everyone is different, that's for sure. I'm definitely not a fan of feeling ill inside. I get enough of that on a daily basis.
I messed around with the PB-2000's and the Mini DSP 2x4, and created the exact curve you described, and I just didn't care for it. The audible sound was identical, just made me feel uneasy. I'm after pure enjoyment, not punishment.
I appreciate your thoughts on it, it's an interesting perspective.
some people are very sensitive to those extreme low frequencies. i love them for one. that feeling of extreme intensity around you. feeling the air molecules transferring all that sub power and air pressure ringing your ears. God i love being an audiophile :D
I run Dual Pb-12nsds do you think If I replace one of them with a 15 inch Mono would be wrong?
Keep your dual setup. Two subs helps alleviate nulls and peaks.
You can mix them. But you'll need the help of minidsp.
For sure 12nsd+monolity 15 will be better than 2x12nsd
Sorry I missed this. I did the exact same thing with a single PB 16 Ultra and dual PB-2000's.
I honestly turned the PB 16 Ultra off, until I paired it with a HSU VTF 15, but it still wasn't great. (PB-2000's removed)
A few months after getting the first PB 16 Ultra, the second one finally came. That was the "ooohhhh, now I get it!!!" Moment.
So with mixing subwoofers, the further apart they are, the worse it is.
Identical subs are ideal. 2, 3, 4, 8, doesn't matter. I would keep them identical.
I would also go with 2 more powerful subs over 4 less powerful subs.
Getting 4 of the same subwoofers might be a little smoother, but it won't increase impact like a more powerful subwoofer will.
Of course, just because one brand has higher output, or more wattage, doesn't mean it'll be more explosive. You can see my video on loud versus explosive.
The worst mix I've experienced is a 15 inch deep bass subwoofer with a typical 10 inch subwoofer. It was a hot mess. Probably a little better than a single subwoofer, but not much.
Lastly, the weakest subwoofer tends to drag the better subwoofer down.
So if you have an okay subwoofer, and an amazing subwoofer paired together, the sound is going to be closer to the lesser subwoofer. It's a strange phenomenon.
For sure, I would always keep subwoofers identical.
You are going for constructive interference. The more identical the sound waves, the better the constructive interference will be.
Is it better than the klipsh 15?
I would be truly shocked if it wasn't. The Klipsch is a traditional sub, while the Monolith 15 is a more advanced design with DSP. Deeper presentation.
I have a pb4000. Should I buy one more or 2 pb2000. 18x18 living rm 9 windows fireplace and a open hallway 30 feet long open to a kitchen.
A second PB4000 would likely be better for you.

@@bakoe7604 I'm thinking 10 feet apart
Definitely another PB-4000, I wouldn't mix.
Dual pb 1000s or dual Monolith 10s? Someone help me out. Been debating for months
The svs pb 1000 is louder and some what better at music but the monolith is built better and more home theater oriented interims of sound. How I look at is is the monolith is a svs pb 1000 modernized
Hey man you believe its more clear than svs because i heard its little boomy i dont like that pleaseeee little help 🙏
Hey subwoofer 101
I wanna see a review of ologe acoustic Twenty sub, with dual woofers 😀
Have a good Day
Ok, this is a "hands off" and a "bench racing" review, but here you go:
With a factory rated response of 28 hertz, it's just too shallow for serious consideration. There are subs factory rated for 14 hertz that I can't take seriously. A factory rating above 21 hertz is a non-starter because most subs start getting quieter before the rated response.
Lots of subs factory rated under 20 hertz start getting quieter around 30-40 hertz, which is unacceptable to me.
28 hertz from the factory will almost certainly be shallow sounding. Nearly impossible that it would have a response curve that I could get excited about.
With a wattage of 80 watts, high current or otherwise, there's just not enough power, especially considering the price.
With a cost of $8,500 USD, it has broken my "no friggin way" meter.
It has an interesting look, no denying that. It appears to be more art than audio. Just not something I would ever be able to recommend.
I really don't like to be so abrupt about equipment. I'm sure they put a lot of effort into it, and I hate to be dismissive. Just doesn't align at all with the things that I find important.
I really hope you don't have one sitting in your living room. I feel bad enough already...
The subs on my list, even the lowest priced $500 subs, would dominate in terms of depth and realism. Certainly, much better bang for the buck.

Thank you so much for you answer.
I live in sweden
I started a company, with the goal to sell ologe acoustic products, i dident get any retailers as customors, so I closed my company, but I still have some Speakers , stored.
Not using any right now.
OLOGE ACOUSTIC is. Coming out with their v2 of every model of their speakers.
I am confused between pb4000, pb3000 and monolith thx15..
My room size is 13x15 heigh is 10ft.
This would be my first sub my first home theatre. Need some advise
For that room, dual pb2000 is fine. Much better dual pb2000 than single 3000/4000.
I will be doing a comparison soon. For sure, duals are important, so it would be better to get dual PB-2000's rather than any of those as a single.
Dual PB2000 = 1 PB4000
I run dual pb 2000s in a room almost that exact size and it's perfect. I would start there and see how you like it
Mr. Subwoofer 101, all of this techno jargon doesn't do anything but give me a giant headache. I'm sixty four years old and analogue. I'm not digital like the rest of the world. Matter of fact, I bought the pb-2000 over the pro model because of the app. All I need is an LFE crossover, phase setting and gain knob. everything else is useless to me. I mean.... what else do you really need to control a subwoofer?
Maby the surrounds being stiffer when new pushed the wattage up making the frequency response different? That's not an answer from any experience or special knowledge that's a shot in the dark guess...
It's definitely a mystery to me. I'm highly annoyed that the review had that issue. Not that it happened, but that I wasn't able to get to the bottom of it. It left a question mark on the review.
Great review. Thanks for sharing

Well you put two 15 inches in a space that is made for a soundbar, no offense I get you can room correct it. But you also overcompensate on the size subs in that space guaranteed. Did you try to test just 1, and get those results?! OR even go for the 12inch or even 10inch..i always see setups in videos like this, where its far from ideal set up... I don't get that.
Two big myths right there. A single is NOT better for a small room, nor does it matter how big the subs are. I'm not guessing, I've tried it in a MUCH smaller space.
Small Room huge subs:

please let me know which one you would buy I'm looking for a deep subwoofer that will give me a heart attack lol
I’m surprised you had so many issues getting a review unit since you are a mono price affiliate. That must’ve been a little frustrating
Being an affiliate isn't always a personal relationship. You do a quick application process, so it's not like there was any communication to begin with. Like Amazon. But yeah, still.

Mono 15 or PB-3000?
Trying to start a fire lol
The Monolith 15 goes down to 10 Hz at an impressive dB and will trounce the PB-3000 in terms of sheer performance, if house-breaking bass is your goal. But if you're not overly concerned with subsonic performance (say under 17 Hz) and care more about the footprint or the ability to tweak settings with a phone app, then the PB-3000 might be the one for you.
I will be doing this comparison. Stay tuned...
Why are you so butt hurt about them not spending their money to help youre TH-cam channel? As a company I wouldnt even read the email of someone with 19k followers. Until you have 500k plus dont expect people to give you shit for free
He is a affiliate for monoprice tho
Il take the million,im not rich
Got 2 of these bad boys and they are perfect best bang for your buck sub and premium sound
Hoping I can ask for settings info? I know everyone’s is different. Just got one expected for bang. Mine are crossover thx(off) since I’m letting AVR run that part. Extended on and level knob on db to +5
@@mexisp2 I got each on 75 percent and my avr is on + 3db on extended
@@lordnasty32 level knob at 75 or crossover at 75? Sorry for asking much just trying to bring this beast alive. Also had my lfe cable came a bit loose when moving back a bit once it clicked made a big difference
@@mexisp2 it's cool bro lol but I have the gain level on sub at 75 or at +6 on the back of the sub n the crossover on the sub off no THX and the avr is +3 on sub gain
@@lordnasty32 thanks appreciate bro
I generally like your reviews but this one felt a little whiney in the beginning. You couldn't get them for free to review? There are a lot of TH-camrs that have to pay, Technodad being one that I can think of on the top of my head.
I can see that. A quick return email to explain that I needed to buy it a year or two ago would have been FAR less frustrating. Not so much that I had to buy it, that's fine, it was the lack of communication.
Secondly, I think it frames my opinion to make a point. If I ever had motivation to do an unfair negative review, THIS would be the time.
The sound is what's important. It's a good sub. That's all that really matters.
If you want to keep your channel afloat, get to the point, waffle waffle waffle. Over sharing and unnecessary detail
He does like to hear himself talk.
Let's be honest, PB4000 is a better buy.
Umm idk about that
Lol I sure hope a $2300 sub is better than a $1200 sub.
