SVS PB-1000 300 Watt DSP Controlled 10" Powered Subwoofer (Premium Black Ash)

I wanted to break these in for a while before I gave an honest review of them. In my opinion, you really need two subwoofers to really tell how good they are, not because of added loudness, but for a more even distribution of bass throughout your room. You will always have peaks and nulls in your room if you only have one subwoofer, it doesn't matter how big or good it is.Now on to the actual review, these subwoofers are amazing for their size and cost. I have never heard a 10in subwoofer capable of doing what this can, and so smoothly (it's better than most 12 inchers on the market). Most subwoofers that I am more used to have peaks and then fall off a cliff starting around 30hz, this goes flat down to 20hz before starting to fall off around 17-18hz. While the original 1000 series may have been replaced by the new 1000pro series, I believe these are a better value since SVS has decided to increase the pricing on their other models by about $200-300. While $500 may sound a bit steep, just buy them, you're essentially getting audiophile bass that you just won't find in the $200-400 range (infact, there are still subwoofer that cost more than this one that aren't as good). If I could say one caveat, I do believe that this subwoofer and the SB1000 could be $100 less given that the old PB12-nsd and SB12-nsd were the same price and lower, and were between these units and the original 2000 series. They sound great with both music and movies and they definitely come alive when the source calls for it without being overpowering. I could run them much hotter than I currently have them but I'd be worried about things falling off the walls or damaging something. I haven't really noticed any port noise coming from them, which is a plus because that can really take you out of what you're trying to watch or listen to (something that plagues lower end subs). The sub is articulate enough to work with most genres of music, but the sealed SB1000 maybe the better option for those that listen to music more than watching movies. I think that these subs are fantastic and would be a great addition to anyone that wants to get into having great sound (just remember to buy atleast two).

What you don't know won't hurt you. So don't try this Sub unless your ready to buy!! i thought my HT sound system was good, till i got this sub and realized how much it wasn't.this thing will upgrade yr movies and music to a whole new level. crisp cleean bass. (paired with Polk T-series towers,center,and surrounds.)my only negative is its size...in a 12×14 room its huge..but after listening and gaming/movies with it...imma keepn this baby. i thought about switching to the smaller svs sb-1000...but i know a ported box is best! with lower Hz and louder punch. (the resson i choose this one in first place)...i might maybe switch if svs puts the sb-1000 PRO on sale for holidays...(only cuz its lower hz, smaller size n more power)so ya..size matters( what she said) but its how you use it!!lol😝 for me, a box that takes more room with less placement options sucks..but worth it for great sound...maybe the sb-1000 sounds as good, idk as dont have the means to compare...but ive used sealed and ported subs in my vehicles and ported always did better. Also ive researched and read many of reviews and this one seems best for my ears and use..the one with lower hz will always be better.svs pb-1000...19 hzsvs sb-1000...24 hz ....enough said.

I bought this sub as a much-needed upgrade from my polk psw108 that i got a few years ago. I have been upgrading my sound system slowly and it was high time to get a good subwoofer. I did a lot of research and many people pointed to the SVS subs.I do a mix of movie watching and music listening with my sound system. The first thing I did after hooking the sub up and calibrating it was listen to some music. I tried a few bass-filled songs. They sounded great on this sub! They were nice and clear and filled the room well. Not muddy at all.After listening to music I decided to run a subwoofer test. This test ran a bunch of frequencies through the sub to test its response. When it started playing it felt like someone was grabbing my head and shaking it. This sub can hit low and hit it hard.I haven't had much chance to watch any loud action movies with it yet, but I have no doubt it should be able to handle it. I definitely like the sub so far, and will most likely order a second one in time.EDIT:I bought a second subwoofer, and it sounds fantastic! It's kinda funny because at one point I updated the firmware in my receiver and it messed up my settings without me realizing it until I tried to watch movie and the sub sounded awful. So in my attempt to determine the problem I turned my subs way up and all the windows in my house shook. These subs are fantastic and definitely worth it.
