inMotionGraphics Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Looks like a real beast! The single 15 inch reviewed well from what I saw, so I can just imagine the damage that this bad boy can do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minor jostle from the sub righted his wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats3of4 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 They arent cheap. Very nice subs. Cant help but think they get crossed off some people’s short list due to the seller. “Monoprice just sells cables!” I think all the Monolith subs are quite nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it work ? Yes, but not as well as it could. 2 subwoofer drivers such as this should be opposed if used in the same cabinet. For $1000, maybe a good buy but for the asking price its just a poor design to reel in the dummy's who don't know any better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed + Opposed / Cone to Magnet or PPSL config I'm guessing that aesthetics / marketing / need to keep size / shipping costs as low as possible came into play Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, did you have the head engineer from Klipsch come over and dial it in like he did your current sub? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was a Spud I meant to say that but forgot to type it. I originally planned to build a second one but the 1502 is much better. The Spud goes deep but not the best for musical bass by far. 3 hours ago, CECAA850 said: To be fair, did you have the head engineer from Klipsch come over and dial it in like he did your current sub? Well what he did was change the crossover points, I think it's 80 Hz now and there are no DSP's set in the Crown XTI 1002 which surprised me. He told me to get the Crown XTI 1002, I was thinking because it can be set with DSP's and that's what Roy wanted. After I asked what DSP's were set and he said none, I asked well why did you tell me to get that amp ? He said cause I like it !
