It isn't a volume knob that subwoofers have its a gain knob. Think of it like this, a volume knob is like a gas peddle and a gain knob is like a break peddle. So whatever you set your gain knob too the actual volume of the sub will know when to start lowering itself or breaking.
Congratulations on the 5000K subscribers I always enjoy your videos you explain all the equipment and its features very well I'm going to be around with you my man as long as you are doing video I'll be there keep up the good work.
Congrats on the 5k subscribers! Your videos are well done, keep it up. I thought you mentioned that you were going to post a playlist of all the music/movies you used to test the subwoofers....I'm interested in see that info so I can match my own sub against it.
would love to see this sub compared to the Monoprice Monolith 12 and 15 models. you can get 2 of the 12" models for the price of one of these and the 15" model is 1299. see if you can get a set of the mono price sub's for review, that would be awesome!
I would say the Monolit 15 is the best "mid-range" subwoofer, when purchased on sale. Here in Canada at regular price the PB3000 is $1849 and the Monolith 15 is $2000, only $150 more. Recently I got the Monolith 15 on sale for $1497 CAD, making it $350 cheaper than the PB3000. Regardless, the Monolith 15 is a significant improvement over the PB3000 and for a very similar price point. As a bonus to us Canadians, they are making the Mono 15 easily accessible by selling it to us through Amazon. Don't get me wrong, I love SVS and currently own 2 PB16's, but credit where credit is due, the Monolith 15 is a much better choice performance wise than the PB3000. Of course you are losing the app functionality, but if performance is the most important to you, get the Monolith 15.
Currently have a SB2000 and wanted to add either the SB or PB3000 to fill up the room with more balanced sound. Any recommendations? Using for both movies and music.
I am curious how you think this subwoofer compares to the new Monoprice 12" THX Ultra. When you get a chance to compare them in the same room, please let us know.
That's a little expensive for a 13" sub. I'm sure it blows the socks off of a 10", but can it stand up to the 15" and 18" monsters? For my money, I'd pay a little more and go with a PSA V1811, or pay a little less and try to snag a monolith 15" sub. I'd really like to see a comparison between these three.
Wife wants to move to new house. Says I can get this subwoofer for the living room and a Hellcat for the garage. Anyone know where I can get moving boxes?
I am torn between sb3000,pb 3000 and the sb4000. I have a large open room that has a kitchen and dining room behind the seating area. i am about 15ft from the tv and subwoofer. Thinking about duels but that would be in the future, 80% movies 20% music. front stage is Monitor Audio Silver 8s
I'm in the same situation and you might want to look into at least a 15" or 18". Check out the PSA V1811 for just a little bit more money, but it's a much more powerful sub.
First of all, youre videos are great. Appreciate the insight and a new subscriber to your channel. I'm new to HT and am trying to decide between the sb3000, pb3000 or dual pb2000 pro's. Room size is 20*14*8 and subs. Would the benefit of the dual subs outweigh the performance of the 3000? Any info would be appreciated.
Hey! Glad I could help. I would certainly recommend 2 smaller subs over a single large one. It combined output will be a lot more and more balanced than a single 3000
@@ThaVillaMan i am considering the same thing as fellow above . I already have a pb 2000pro , however i am reading that this pb 3000 offers a more mid bass chest slam experience. Is this true and if so will dual 2000 pros accomplish such?
1 question. Is there e LOT of difference between the sb and pb? Like. Is it worth the 500$ extra? Cuz i want to go for the pb. But if its not worth the extra $500 voor minimal extras. I might just go for the sb

There’s nothing bad with sealed subs. Totally depends on your room size/listening levels and what kind of content you’ll listen to most (music vs movies) If money and size/footprint are not an issue, getting the largest (15 or 18 inch at least) most powerful sealed subwoofers you can is ideal IMO. The only caveat here is that you MUST buy at least 4 or 6 or even 8 if you can. Sealed subwoofers will never give you port noise (because there is no port). The only true downside to sealed subs is that you just need A LOT of them to be able to play as low and as loud as a ported sub. This is why you’d need 4, 6, or even 8 sealed subs. Having said all of that: getting 4, 6, or 8 sealed subs is just not possible for most people. You need a dedicated room and the physical space in your room to place them. This is where ported subs come into play. 1 ported sub can play so much lower/louder than it’s sealed counter part (1 PB3000 vs 1 SB3000). Regardless you should always have at least 2 subwoofers no matter what they are to get the best bass response. If you like to listen to mostly movies and you like to crank it up to around reference level, you should be looking at ported subs. If you have a dedicated room and $$ and floor space are not an issue, get at least 4 sealed subs (at least 15 inch drivers) and sit back and enjoy. Zero port noise and all the low extension and volume you’ll need
I know I want an SVS Sub but I’m trying to decide between the PB-2000 or PB-3000 price $800 vs $1,400 I don’t know if that $600 difference is worth it.
I can’t say it is for sure, since I’ve never heard the 2000 in person, but the PB3000 is very incredible, and app control/customization make it even better

You’re absolutely right. Not sure why I said volume. Thanks!
Funny to see you celebrate 5k subscribers and now you’re at 61k. You so deserve your success. Love your channel. Thanks.
SVS makes a great sub, love their sealed ones.

Great video man! Great subwoofer. Great work on the review. You are putting out some great useful information for us home theater enthusiasts.

was placement difficult? or was it powerful enough it didn’t really matter? congrats on the 5K!!!
Placement is always important, i just got my first sub and realised why so many people say placement is critical for subs
An excellent review. I really loved your presentation.

Definitely the PB3000 based on what you’re saying. Sounds like you need the output
Definitely PB3000 in a room that large and open.
just ordered it yesterday!!!

You could also get dual pb 2000's for around the price of a single pb 3000.
I’m torn. My pb3000 doesn’t fill the room like I want. But, do I get a second one or a pb4000?

Can you post your setting
Did you review as a single or dual?
Single
what av receiver is suitable for svs pb1000 so that noise is not heard? i just bought it,
Ok total female here and don't know much about subs but what is so bad about a sealed sub vs a non sealed sub?

Great video Review....
Glad you liked it!
I have dual SB-2000s - its phat!
mine didnt come with foam plugs .... they must stop shipping with them
You mentioned that the SB3000 is $100 more, I believe you meant to say *less*, no?
Great video though! Thank you for sharing your honest opinion and thoughts. 😁
Thanks! I did? That must have been a mistake. I was referring to the SB4000
@@ThaVillaMan I knew to what you were referring. 🙂 @ 3:23 is where I heard it.
It just caught me off guard at first.
I know I want an SVS Sub but I’m trying to decide between the PB-2000 or PB-3000 price $800 vs $1,400 I don’t know if that $600 difference is worth it.
I can’t say it is for sure, since I’ve never heard the 2000 in person, but the PB3000 is very incredible, and app control/customization make it even better
How do you call something like this "mid-range"?
In the lineup, it is. What would you call it?
@@ThaVillaMan the spl line are their best subwoofers.
PB3000 or PB4000? Can you really tell a big difference between both of them?
Well the 4000 is better in every way, so it can produce more output at higher levels.
tHa_vilLaMaN thanks for the feedback 👍
Anything over 1k is NOT midrange lol.... atleast for my wallet
4k eats it
For $1,500 I'd rather buy two XTZ 12.17 Edge subwoofers.
I dont like this guy man sound's a bit like my uncle tom lol
Well I can assure you that I’m neither Tom, nor your uncle. Hope that helps!
