True that.

(4) subs + shipping is $518.64 to my door, which makes it ~$129 per sub shipped.

You've got four on order? That was quick.  :)

I'm in NY... shipping for one Monoprice 12" sub is $44 and change. Not negligible.

Other thing I noticed: No phase switch at all? Is that potentially a problem for a swarm application?

Interestingly, entering a NY zipcode shows the $44 "Standard 3-5 Business Days" shipping as the lowest cost method, but when I enter my AZ zipcode, I not only get the "Standard 3-5 business days" shipping rate of $37, but additionally a "Monoprice 1-2 Business Days" option of just $17.

Apparently customers in California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico can take advantage of Monoprice's GSO (Golden State Overnight) shipping rates.

I would think not only might a phase switch be useful, but a variable phase control (instead of a 0° - 180° switch) would be even better.

No. I just did a sample test. I've got enough projects lined up, don't need another one!

 :lol: Pretty soon you guys are going to be asking for all the fancy controls on a Rythmik plate amp! We should rename this circle as "Cheap and Stingy"!

Seriously though, using a Minidsp 2X4(or Minidsp 2X4HD) + 2,3, or 4 of these subs would be a possible way around the problem. Gotta watch the budget though.
