Review on πŸ”Š Monoprice Aria Series 10-Inch Passive Subwoofer - 200W Max - In-Wall Speaker (Single) for Immersive Audio Experience by Jennifer Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

When installed with the appropriate housing, the sound quality is mediocre.

I installed these speakers in an insulated ceiling. To keep dirt from getting on the speaker cones, I also bought and installed matching enclosures. Accordingly, the sound quality is average. The speakers have a "hanging" sound that emphasizes the bass and makes the sound unbalanced. If you like heavy bass, these speakers could be perfect for you. However, if you want a more natural, more open sound, you should either avoid these speakers or install them without a housing at all. For comparison, I also installed a pair of Monoprice "Caliber" built-in speakers in an insulated wall. Since I wasn't worried about dirt falling on the speaker cones, I installed them without a case. You sound very good. I'm amazed that I can get such good sound out of a pair of speakers that cost $33.

Pros
  • The MIT-1000s in-wall bridge speaker turns your small two-way in-wall or satellite speakers into full-range monitors.
Cons
  • Weight
