The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Monoprice built a reputation offering functional audio gear at prices well below the major brands, and the 114567 sits firmly in that value-oriented position at $174.99. It weighs in at 9 lbs, which suggests a compact build appropriate for smaller rooms and secondary setups.
Spec information is limited for this model, with no published power rating, driver size, or connectivity type officially listed. That makes objective comparison difficult, but the 4.3-star rating across 158 verified purchases suggests buyers are finding it performs acceptably in real-world small-room use.
For buyers who are assembling an entry-level surround system and simply need a subwoofer in the chain, the 114567 fills that role. It is not a product for those chasing deep, extended bass or high-output performance in larger spaces.

Performance notes
Specific power output, driver diameter, and connectivity type are not publicly listed for the 114567. The 9 lb weight points to a smaller enclosure, likely appropriate for desktop or small-room use. Without confirmed frequency response data, buyers should manage expectations toward filling in bass in compact setups rather than achieving deep extension.
What buyers say
With 158 reviews at 4.3 stars, the 114567 draws generally positive feedback from buyers who prioritize value. The complaints that do appear typically relate to expectations mismatch rather than build quality failures. Buyers who go in knowing this is a budget, compact unit tend to rate it more favorably.

Frequently asked questions
What size room is the Monoprice 114567 suited for?
Given the compact size and weight of 9 lbs, the 114567 is best suited for small rooms, typically under 200 square feet. In a bedroom home theater or desktop setup it can provide useful bass reinforcement. Larger living rooms will likely expose its output limitations at higher volumes.
Does the Monoprice 114567 have wireless connectivity?
Monoprice has not published connectivity specs for this model, so wireless capability cannot be confirmed. Most subwoofers in this price range rely on wired RCA connections.
