description Monoprice A8 Subwoofer Overview
The Monoprice A8 is a standout in the budget category. It provides significant volume and deep bass for its price point, making it an ideal choice for those building their first home theater system.
The ported design allows it to move enough air to fill medium rooms effectively. While it lacks the refinement of high-end brands, its sheer power-to-price ratio is hard to beat.
help Monoprice A8 Subwoofer FAQ
What size driver does the Monoprice A8 subwoofer have?
As the name implies, it's built around an 8-inch woofer in a ported cabinet. That ported design is what lets it move enough air to pressurize a room at its price.
Is the Monoprice A8 a powered or passive subwoofer?
Monoprice's budget subs are typically active designs with a built-in amplifier, and this class is no exception. That means you only need a line-level RCA cable from your receiver — no external amp.
What room size is the Monoprice A8 good for?
Medium rooms of roughly 150-250 square feet are the sweet spot. In larger spaces you'll hear it run out of low-end headroom before a 10- or 12-inch sub would.
How do I connect the Monoprice A8 to my AV receiver?
Run a single RCA cable from your receiver's dedicated subwoofer output to the sub's line/LFE input. Then set the receiver's crossover (commonly 80Hz) and let the sub's amp handle the rest.
