Nice review. I didn't plan on picking up one of these guys initially but SVS had these in their outlet with the full warranty, trial, etc. for $400 shipped and I couldn't pass it up. I got an RSL Speedwoofer 10s a few months back and love how it sounds but I love the idea of running both of these to take advantage of each other's strengths and weaknesses and comparing them.
Just picked one up for my bedroom and oh man it's amazing in there! Just ordered a second one and am like a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa!
I'm researching acoustic paneling options/bass traps/moving blankets for shared walls. Something to think about. Currently just have some M3-8's for a stereo setup (overlooked but amazing), just missing that below 35hz, but, like you, looking to do so in the most respectful way to the neighbors. I think if you own, there are companies that can do foam injection between the shared walls, not sure of the cost, but also something to consider. Too bad the construction on most homes is garbage given the inflated costs.
It starts with a solid foundation. I use 1in thick yoga mats to protect my hard wood floor. Then i use concrete blocks. With a yoga mat on top to protect my subwoofer. It may look a bit tacky. Results will vary. But its not a bad option for the money.
It's a BEAST !!!!! I got one about 7 months ago and it STILL blows me away. Only turned up a little past half way up. It goes lower than 19hz.. I believe it does ... Check specs, but I believe its 18 or 16 hz I maybe wrong tho. I use isolation pads to lift off floor , even on carpet , it's SHAKE your house etc apart.
That sounds so good. I am considering buying 2 of them to replace my Klipsch R-100SW woofers. However they are currently about €549,- each... Which is a tad expensive to my liking. I think I might wait for a second hand deal or something like that. €400,- is the max I can affort for them!
Since you emphasized the $500 pricepoint, those who are buying the PB1000 should consider the PB12NSD. It's offered every Thanksgiving, and the PB12NSD is more powerful and could hit lower notes at louder levels. If you save now, you could buy two by late November. The metal grill on the PB12NSD does not draw attention to itself. I prefer it over the cloth grill.
SVS gives you a little discount when you buy two. And I agree two is the way to go. For my small room two is more than enough. I really like the sound.
Hi@@willardboatman3660 . I went all Prime series. I have the Center, Pinnacles, Elevations, Satellites, & I ended up going with the PB-2000 Pro. It’s a 5.1.2 set up
@@Jedi_Order81 okay Dark Knight thanks for the reply. I guess I went the opposite direction on my SVS build. I have bookshelves with the pb-1000. I used the bulk of my initial funds for my AVR. I'm embarrassed to say my height channels are made up of four older prologic speakers LOL! I can't wait to hear the prime elevations. But I think I'm going for the Pinnacles first. Can you give me an idea how they sound in 2-channel audio?
@@willardboatman3660 - I am very impressed with the Pinnacles when I switch to two channel. The sound is so clear, precise, & not fatiguing. I’ve never owned such realistic sounding speakers. They get compliments from everyone I’ve shown the system to. Money well spent in my opinion. I’m currently saving up for the Anthem MRX 740. I’ve heard great things about Anthem & from what I’ve read they will make the SVS’ sound even better The Elevations are fantastic Atmos speakers. All in all I am thrilled with the sound produced from all the different SVS speakers
Great review. I have a pair of these myself, the PB-1000 in black ash... I really like them, and they do deliver. When I first bought them, they sat on the floor. They would rattle the windows, not what I wanted. I bought the SVS iso feet, those tamed them quite a bit... Then something happened... I built a new AV stand, Steam Punk, 1.5" Birch butcher block and some black iron pipe... During that build my neighbor came over and pointed out a thing or two. One thing he said was it would look cool if the SVS subs were the same level as the new stand... I took his advise, as he was correct. Now the SVS PB-1000's are on stands, sitting roughly 5.5 inches off the floor. Hmmm... This made a huge difference in sound. totally decoupled from the house. I am still tuning in, getting them off the floor made a huge difference in my room. I was looking at getting a pair of PB-3000's, but I don't think I need them. I'm getting some really good sound out of these elevated PB-1000's. Don't dismiss these little guys, especially if you are on a budget. I would only own these PB-1000's in a pair, you are wasting your money with just a single sub. These blend in very nicely with anything you throw at it, balanced is a good word for these, in pairs. And they do go deep. Even off the floor, the dishes in the kitchen still rattle.
Interesting... stands for your subwoofers, I think I like it? Do you have a video of your setup on UA-cam? If so send me a link I’d like to check them out. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks alot for the info. I liked the idea of the iso feet to get away from the kitchen rattle and now I'm thinking I would try elevating even higher. Glad to hear it works!
@@finisherjess3863 It does work, mine are on 1.5" Birch slabs, I bought a 4' Birch butcher block counter top at Home Depot, $95. I went to plumbing and bought eight 4" x 3/4" black iron (steel) pipe nipple and sixteen 3/4" Floor Flanges for the feet and to attach to the bottom of the slabs. It took 3 cuts on the slab to get to size, I used a circular saw and a straight edge, hit them with the palm sander, attached the floor flanges to the underside, stained, sealed and waxed. Came out very nice. The rattle is out of the sound, like rattling dishes and windows, just clean bass. I used #10 1" flat head #2 Phillips wood screws to attach the flanges to the bases. I drilled pilot holes first, I think I used a 1/8" drill bit, you do not want to snap off a screw.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Another thing I am messing with is the way I am attaching the subs... Yesterday, I unhooked the LFE inputs and attached two 8 foot long speaker cables from my Emotiva XPA-2 to the High Level speaker inputs on the back of both SVS PB-1000 subs. R went to SVS R speaker, L went to SVS Left speaker line level inputs. I used only one input on the back of both subs, as it is a dual setup. I'm still dialing this in, but I really like the sound that I am getting. I took the Denon out of the picture in regards to the subs, now using the SVS crossover and fade along with a Schiit Audio Loki to shape the sound. So far I am really impressed, especially with music. The Ultra bookshelf speakers really sound better if that is possible, as the bass is really blending in with them vs the old LFE. I need to work with the phase control along with the crossovers, but so far I am really liking the sound. As far as how it will sound with movies, that is something else I need to tackle. I think this is going to work out quite well.
That's interesting! I like that you're trying a non standard configuration. From the photos I saw it looks like the Schiit only does stereo inputs how are you going to tackle multi channel movies? Or do you watch them in stereo?
Fantastic review, I like your style. You said the RSL Speedwooder 10s was the most fun you've had with a sub, would you recommend it over the PB-1000, or do you think if you already have the PB-1000 (I do) that it wouldn't make sense to swap? If it really has that punchy mid bass, I would think it would be more fun for Big Beat music and games/movies.
Thank you! In an either/or situation I would recommend the pb1000 over the speedwoofer. But to answer the question, would the speedwoofer be a nice accompaniment to the Pb1000? Yes I think so. I haven’t tried them together but I do think they would work well together.
Yeah I use those on mine PLUS one of those carpeted fiberboard isoloaters with foam on the bottom that it stands on. Only issue is my bedroom (yes really) probably doesn't have enough space to actually make this sub work as good as it should, but I try!
You should do a video on how to setup a new subwoofer into your system. The 'crawl around the room' technique has some details people might want to see (like disconnecting your other speakers). If you do not have Audissey, you have to tell your receiver you have a subwoofer. Should you crank the volume knob on the sub before running Audissey? Where should you set the crossover? What about RCA cables vs a 'Subwoofer' cable? What about 60 hz hum? Lots of content/questions people might have.
What do you mean with more mid-bass subwoofer than ultra low bass sub if you get what i mean. The port is tuned to 22 Hz and it does 15 Hz. Never heard the monolith 10 or RLS speedwoofer but i would think it would be the exact same as the Monolith 10, both have a -3dB at 18 (somebody measured 18 Hz instead of 19 which is what SVS specs says). The Monolith has a crazy big surround, does it produce a lot of port noise at ultra low frequencies? 26 - 18 Hz. You should break the sub in then you'll get pretty amazed, i get around 100 dB at 20 Hz in my room with the door open. Thanks for this review, definitely the best review of this subwoofer. Take care man.
I really wanna hear those HSUs - I bet they sound really nice. I had two PB1000s but sent them back and replaced them with two Polk HTS12s. I compared them side by side before sending the PB1000s back and found the Polks to be much better balanced and provided far more output than the PB1000s. The Polks aren't rated as low as the PB1000s but they actually get lower than rated. I get decent output at 20hz. I have some sound samples on my channel.
Great review - on dual PB-1000: I would be placing them up front, equal distance left or right of TV ... I cannot move all over and have one here and one there - so it would be esthetically pleasing up front. My question is would I get good base output going with the in a dual configuration or would a single PB-2000 Pro give me more perceived output? Thanks for any thoughts!
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the sb1000 so I have to say the Pb1000. Since it’s a ported design it will play deeper than the sb and that is bored out in the specs.
I have an option to go with PB 10 ISD for half price of the PB 1000! You seem to be the most knowledgeable reviewer on UA-cam ! What do you think should I spend double the amount to buy PB 1000 or pay less and get PB 10 ISD ( old model) apparently they are the same as per discussion forums ? Thank you
Thanks for the compliment! I haven't heard the PB 10 ISD but if the forums you've read say they are the same, I say give it a try. If you like it then you've saved some money! 😁
Hi Sir, good job. I am a great fan of you. I wanted to buy the subs for my Q Acoustics speaker family. Which one would be better? SVS PB1000 or QB12? I am little bit towards the bass. QB12 price is less than the SVS. I need your help on this.
hey mate, I've got a pair of active studio monitors (behringer ms40's) and they only have red and white inputs at the back. they are a weird set of speakers, because one is active which has rca inputs, and just has a passive wire which connects to the passive speaker. i am currently running an aux to red and white wire from my aux output on the laptop to the back of the speakers. how would i go about integrating this subwoofer? could i get this sub, run an aux to red and white from the laptop to the sub inputs, and then run a red and white wire from the sub outputs to the studio monitors? will the crossover from the sub affect what i hear from the monitors? cheers, great video, dropped a like and sub. :)
HT Hobbyist I am saving up to buy a new subwoofer for my home theater setup, I own a Polk Audio PSW505 but I'm not happy with it so I have the RSL Speedwoofer 10s & the SVS PB1000 on my bucket list. Which one is better? is the extra $100 worth it for the PB1000?
I own and listened to a PSW 110 for a few years myself. Based on my experience I say go with the PB1000. The speedwoofer 10s is a great and I mean great sub but the 1000 is better and I think it'll be a more noticeable upgrade vs the 10s. Hopefully this helps, let me know what you decide and how you like it.
Very fair review! I think svs has the best service based upon reading many reviews, upgrade option within 12 months, and replacements parts rather than the need to return the entire sub (monoprice). Have any of you done any acoustic panels/bass traps to enhance/even out sub performance? it's something I don't see in any sub reviews.
Thanks! Yes, I've added some acoustic treatment to my room and like the response. I found that it yields a cleaner more even response. I also tried a bass trap and found that it does work but I need to add more to get the full affect.
It would be an upgrade if you want to go deeper in the 20's. Your subs including mine does 30's. I'm also thinking about upgrading to a SVS subwoofer. I'm thinking dual pb 2000 or pb 3000
@@MrSuperman258401 To be honest I'm leaning towards a ported sub. I want the extra low bass. I know 2 pb 2000 will do the job but it's nice to have pb 3000 for future proofing for a larger room.
@@retroforce6919 I get it , just offering other suggestions. Pb3000 is bigger the sb4000 for height and depth . Current have the pb1000, and test the sb3000 and pb3000. I get better lower end in my room with sb3000 over the pb3000 so far. Still working on best placement as they don't move easy lol. Still have to mess with pb3000 in sealed mode yet too. But svs app support of the 3000 over 2000 line is worth it.
This or the SB1000? I can't hear them before buying and never heard a sealed one before so it's so hard for me to make an ideea of how sealed sounds versus the ported ones.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist im into both so its hard to choose but i heard that the SB1000 is kinda weak and underwhelming, cant afford the SB2000 so probably ill go with a ported.
Since you’re into both, I’d probably choose the pb but I’m also a home theater guy so I’m probably a little bias 😁. On another note, I’m hoping to get a sb1000 in for testing in a few months and but there are zero guarantees that I’ll get it. So don’t wait for that video if you’re looking to get it soon.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist makes sense. Such a pain having to run room correction with each new component. Test tones send my wife crazy. Thanks for the reply.
Hey! I'm currently looking for an upgrade to my logitech z623 and i'm not sure if this will be much louder. I've seen reviews and idk ppl say it isn't really loud? do you think it's worth the money?
The PB-1000 is a solid sub. I've tested quite a few 10inch ported subs and in my opinion it's the "Best All Around". Meaning it'll play well in the middle of the bass range and also deep. Here's a playlist of my other 10inch sub reviews. They include audio samples to give you some idea of how each sub sounds. ua-cam.com/play/PL0qBT6tP91WA_9PKCCiE4WpmPgAyWHNtv.html
My room is a little big at just about 4560 cubic ft. The room is very quiet, and tight, and does not have any echo. My SB1000 sounds good, but I know I’m not getting what I should for a room that size. I’m thinking of buying another one, but was wondering if I should buy the PB 1000 to go with it instead. I don’t know if I should go bigger on the second one because I don’t want to drown out the SB. Any thoughts?
Adding an additional sub will give you more output and balance (more even bass response throughout the room). If you’re happy with the sb1000 and just want more output/balance get a 2nd sb. If you want a little more low end bass with an increase in output get a pb1000. I haven’t listened to the sb 1000 but that’s the difference I expect.
Home Theater Hobbyist I’m returning the SB 1000, just ordered 2 PB 1000’s. My room is a little over 5000 cubic ft. SVS told me I should love the performance! Can’t wait
Thanks for the reviews! This review influenced me to purchase a PB1000. I do feel that the sub performs much better for movies compared to music though. I have 2 units, and the punch and frequency waves are crazy good with movies (6 underground is a new favorite, check that one out). But for music (my music source being master quality with Tidal), the punch is lacking quite a bit for all genres. I'm not sure if it's the way I have everything set up, but I did run MCACC pro on my Pioneer receiver, and increased the gain on the sub even after tuning. All in all, I simply feel the need to manually boost the gain with music compared to movies. I'd appreciate any feedback, and again thank you for your content!
I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it. I agree it's better for movies than music. The SB1000 is more for music, I actually compare the two here: ua-cam.com/video/13XhymcBeK8/v-deo.html.
Great review hobbyist I was actually waiting for it because I have the monolith 10 and was wondering how it compared to the glorious svs and based on how house shattering it's low frequency extension was I was pretty interesting to hear if the svs would out do it which I highly doubted so my nerves are now settled I got a powerful center and towers so I don't need it's mid bass but I did test it and saw it's absence I guess it's a trade off well respected one
It should work but a pb-2000 may provide better output for a room that size. You could also consider purchasing 2 pb-1000s for more output and better bass balance. Hope this helps
I gave it a solid 4 out of 5 overall. For what you get at 500 USD. Actually the cabinet has quite a bit of resonates. Not as solid as it should be. I believe thats where SVS cheaped out. For me at high volume. I notice some mechanical noice from the sub itself. Maybe even some clipping from the amplifier. Didn't really like the flimsy cheap power cable. So i upgraded to something from Audioquest. I mainly use powered subwoofers in my hi-fi stereo. So i prefer powered subwoofers that have the 5 way binding post, banana high level inputs. This and its sealed brother are the only ones that have them from SVS. Since most people use LFE outputs from their home theater receivers. Its not as popular of an input. So my options were limited. Unfortunately i can only use one sub instead of dual. So i was hoping for at least a 12. Rather then a 10.
Interesting review. Thank you. I am going to hold off and wait to see if I can find the RSL Speedwoofer 10s that digs low too. I don’t know what sub out there does what the RSL can do and what the SVS can do at the lower frequencies. It seems there are compromises when it comes to subs. At least from what I have experienced so far. But I owned the PC-2000 and the low energy frequency is amazing but lacks the RSL’s lightning fast response, accuracy and chest hitting bass. I have been dialing in my dual RSL’s all weekend and my gosh. I have never heard a sub like it. I put on some dual kick drum bass songs today from some pretty heavy hard metal bands and the RSL’s had no problems keeping up. It’s as if they are servo controlled subs. There is nooooo way on earth that the PC2000 could have handled those tracks with the same detail and nimbleness that the RSL’s did. Now I am thinking that the L-22 from Rythmik might just be the best of both worlds. Just from looking at the specs. It seems like the sealed dual 12’s can be just as fast but also go deep. I don’t know though. I keep trying to convince you to get one to review. I will be VERY interested to hear your opinion if you ever went that route. Would also love to see a review of the Powersound Audio 18 inch sub. That thing is a beast! IMO, there are 5 powerhouse subwoofer companies out there and this is complete speculation but from just looking at specs and reading reviews. Rythmik would be number 1 with PSA number 2, HSU 3rd, Monoprice 4th and SVS 5th. RSL is kind of in their own class and category as I have yet to find a sub like it. I am holding on to those until I do! But.......... Joe at RSL tells me there is a new sub in the works. Hummmmmmm......
😁😁😁😁 You seem like a cool guy Jeff, I like you. Yes the RSL is amazing and I’m looking forward to trying out a Rhythmic, hopefully soon. I really want to hear how the servo controlled sub sounds. I probably won’t go the sealed route because I prefer ported and I can more easily compare my previous experience.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist I am not that cool but thanks. LOL I like you too! Keep up the great work! I have thought about starting my own channel. I have been into audio since I was a little kid. I have a lot of experience but by no means do I call myself a pro or anything. Just a normal guy with a passion for audio. I even used to compete in car audio comps. I am just not that great when it comes to speaking in front of people or a camera. LOL Anyway, I hope you get a chance with one of those Rhythmik's soon. Sealed, ported, it doesn't matter, I just want to see how it compares to the RSL. I will be watching your channel closely. No pressure. LOL
A guy I have been talking to on Audiokarma.com was going to buy the PB-1000 and I suggested RSL, He had never heard of them before but he went with my suggestion. He got it yesterday as pm’d me saying thank you. That he loves it! Best sub he has ever had. The RSL is LEGIT!
question...I have the PB1000 with Denon 3600 mu Sub is always on, i see the blue light even when my AVR is off? is this normal shouldn't i see a red light showing its powered down?
I haven't tried the SPL-12 but I did try the SPL-100 and thought it was an excellent sub. I do think the PB-1000 is more balanced so between those two I choose the PB-1000 but the Klipsch SPL-100 is a great sub. Here's a link to my review: ua-cam.com/video/nWLfZSOvOZ0/v-deo.html
wow now that's a choice! I'd say pb-1000 if you want a little more balanced bass but monolith 10 if you want deep deep bass! 😆 Let me know what you decide and how you like it.
I haven't heard that sub in my room but I did a comparison with the Klipsch SPL-100 and PB1000 here: ua-cam.com/video/nWLfZSOvOZ0/v-deo.html. The video includes audio samples so you should check it out to here the differences between those two.
Just bought one pb-1000 and I'm really satisfied but it doens't shake the room at 20 hz. I can't even hear anything at 20 hz, it drops off at like 26 hz witch is kind of a bummer.
I haven't tried the R-112sw but I did compare the PB1000 to the SPL-100. So this may give you some idea of the differences. ua-cam.com/video/nWLfZSOvOZ0/v-deo.html
Is this too much for me? I live in an apartment and obviously don't want to anger the neighbors. So if I only use it for low volume am I paying too much and should just get a klipsch?
I live in a quad plex apartment, sharing walls with 2 other neighbors. I'm running dual PB 1000s and haven't had any complaint yet, .. I am pretty easy on the volume levels because I like my neighbors, but I still turn it up enough to pressurize the whole apartment and get that bass in the chest feeling. Sometimes I do run it LOUD, but I let my neighbors know ahead of time if I'm going to into basshead mode ;-)
Hi, I’m here in the UK.. it’s time to upgrade my sub, I’m coming from 1 x Q Acoustics 3070S🤣 I only have a Denon AVRX-2200, do you reckon this sub will be a massive upgrade? Whatever I get has to be white
Yes I think the pb1000 will be a really good upgrade. Also check out the q acoustics qb12 they have a white version. I reviewed it here: m.ua-cam.com/video/ZzGB8A16Ehg/v-deo.html
Home Theater Hobbyist yeah I’ve seen this sub... but at 220 watts I feel, isn’t enough and it doesn’t go low enough at 28hz... want something with a bit more guys and nicer sounding bass (not woolly)
Different countries have different voltage. Eg 240 for most of the world and 110v for America. Or the other way around idk ? I know america has there own power voltage because they need to be special lol.
I haven’t tried the 3000 but it will play deeper and with more output than the 1000 so if you room is relatively large pairing that with the 1000 should work well. But if your room is medium size or smaller dual 1000s should do the trick. Hopefully this helps!
4:20 "let's take a quick break and listen to a couple of sound samples so you can hear how it sounds" you forgot this is a youtube video and not a live in-person presentation
Maybe?? That's a pretty extreme case but if you need 100% volume I would choose a different sub maybe the pb3000 or something bigger. Since this is an extreme case contact svs and discuss your needs with them they maybe able to suggest a good fit for your needs.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist I mean, I won't do that all the time, but I wanted just to know if it has problems playing at that level. On what volume do u usually run It?
O ok, I thought maybe you were running a night club or something 😁. I typically run it around 35% volume which equates to 77db at my main listening position. I find this setting has a nice balance between bass and the other frequencies. I've run it at 65% while testing but when watching movies or listening to music the bass notes would really over power everything else in the track which I don't care for. Now, if you have a really big space (let's say greater than 700 square feet) and sit far from the sub you may need to turn the volume up a bit to get the right balance. In this case a bigger sub would probably work better like the Pb2000 but the 1000 will handle a normal size room just fine.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist My room is about 200 square feet, I don't got the sub yet tho, going to get one during the same :D, so I think it would be more than enough for this space. I was thinking of saving a little bit more and buying the PB2000, but I think it will be maybe too much.
Ok you should be great with the 1000. I was doing some testing with my 1000 last night and it was rattling my windows at 50% volume (I was measuring 86db at my listening position). My room is L shaped but it's around 280 Sq feet.
The design is nice and they do play very low which is excellent but I was able to get very good music playback through my dsp settings. Great all around, and easier on wallet than svs subs even though I love the svs subs.
Se anda para comprar va ha maquisom oiça e vera que tras logo isto oelhor ja tive muitos mas este vai morrer comigo amoooo e demais peça la ao sr luis u sr antonio para ligalo ok. Boa compra
I’m sorry to hear that. Have you thought about a more compact sub like an 8inch? You may need two to get better output but that would give you some low end.
I didn’t enjoy those sound samples the SVS sound is terrible this SVS must have bass boost cuz I saw the scene of Jurassic park on UA-cam and the bass is very different you should make sure the bass is correct before making a sound sample
I've had 2 of these now and I can tell you from personal experience that they are absolute rubbish. I hear good things about the bigger subs from svs but the 10 inch is crap
I just brought the PB1000 sold my old Yamaha Sub - the SVS is amazing - I'm blown away literally!!

I'm researching acoustic paneling options/bass traps/moving blankets for shared walls. Something to think about. Currently just have some M3-8's for a stereo setup (overlooked but amazing), just missing that below 35hz, but, like you, looking to do so in the most respectful way to the neighbors. I think if you own, there are companies that can do foam injection between the shared walls, not sure of the cost, but also something to consider. Too bad the construction on most homes is garbage given the inflated costs.
@@07wrxtr1 foam? You need mass to stop bass, I doubt foam would make any noticeable difference
It starts with a solid foundation. I use 1in thick yoga mats to protect my hard wood floor. Then i use concrete blocks. With a yoga mat on top to protect my subwoofer. It may look a bit tacky. Results will vary. But its not a bad option for the money.
It's a BEAST !!!!! I got one about 7 months ago and it STILL blows me away.
Only turned up a little past half way up.
It goes lower than 19hz.. I believe it does ... Check specs, but I believe its 18 or 16 hz I maybe wrong tho.
I use isolation pads to lift off floor , even on carpet , it's SHAKE your house etc apart.
😁
That sounds so good. I am considering buying 2 of them to replace my Klipsch R-100SW woofers.
However they are currently about €549,- each... Which is a tad expensive to my liking. I think I might wait for a second hand deal or something like that. €400,- is the max I can affort for them!
Since you emphasized the $500 pricepoint, those who are buying the PB1000 should consider the PB12NSD. It's offered every Thanksgiving, and the PB12NSD is more powerful and could hit lower notes at louder levels. If you save now, you could buy two by late November. The metal grill on the PB12NSD does not draw attention to itself. I prefer it over the cloth grill.
Thanks for the advice!
SVS gives you a little discount when you buy two. And I agree two is the way to go. For my small room two is more than enough. I really like the sound.
If you dont mind me asking what size is your room I have a small room also about 10x10
16x13
@@MrSOTARTS so 2 of these will do me great
Yes two would be a great investment
Thanks for the review. I look forward to adding the PB-1000 to my SVS system
Any time!
What does your SVS system consist of?
Hi@@willardboatman3660 . I went all Prime series. I have the Center, Pinnacles, Elevations, Satellites, & I ended up going with the PB-2000 Pro. It’s a 5.1.2 set up
@@Jedi_Order81 okay Dark Knight thanks for the reply. I guess I went the opposite direction on my SVS build. I have bookshelves with the pb-1000. I used the bulk of my initial funds for my AVR. I'm embarrassed to say my height channels are made up of four older prologic speakers LOL! I can't wait to hear the prime elevations. But I think I'm going for the Pinnacles first. Can you give me an idea how they sound in 2-channel audio?
@@willardboatman3660 - I am very impressed with the Pinnacles when I switch to two channel. The sound is so clear, precise, & not fatiguing. I’ve never owned such realistic sounding speakers. They get compliments from everyone I’ve shown the system to. Money well spent in my opinion.
I’m currently saving up for the Anthem MRX 740. I’ve heard great things about Anthem & from what I’ve read they will make the SVS’ sound even better
The Elevations are fantastic Atmos speakers. All in all I am thrilled with the sound produced from all the different SVS speakers
I was waiting for this video !! good job :)
Thank you! Hopefully it answered at least some of your questions
Great review.
I have a pair of these myself, the PB-1000 in black ash... I really like them, and they do deliver. When I first bought them, they sat on the floor. They would rattle the windows, not what I wanted. I bought the SVS iso feet, those tamed them quite a bit... Then something happened...
I built a new AV stand, Steam Punk, 1.5" Birch butcher block and some black iron pipe... During that build my neighbor came over and pointed out a thing or two. One thing he said was it would look cool if the SVS subs were the same level as the new stand... I took his advise, as he was correct.
Now the SVS PB-1000's are on stands, sitting roughly 5.5 inches off the floor. Hmmm... This made a huge difference in sound. totally decoupled from the house. I am still tuning in, getting them off the floor made a huge difference in my room. I was looking at getting a pair of PB-3000's, but I don't think I need them. I'm getting some really good sound out of these elevated PB-1000's.
Don't dismiss these little guys, especially if you are on a budget. I would only own these PB-1000's in a pair, you are wasting your money with just a single sub. These blend in very nicely with anything you throw at it, balanced is a good word for these, in pairs. And they do go deep. Even off the floor, the dishes in the kitchen still rattle.
Interesting... stands for your subwoofers, I think I like it? Do you have a video of your setup on UA-cam? If so send me a link I’d like to check them out. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks alot for the info. I liked the idea of the iso feet to get away from the kitchen rattle and now I'm thinking I would try elevating even higher. Glad to hear it works!
@@finisherjess3863 It does work, mine are on 1.5" Birch slabs, I bought a 4' Birch butcher block counter top at Home Depot, $95. I went to plumbing and bought eight 4" x 3/4" black iron (steel) pipe nipple and sixteen 3/4" Floor Flanges for the feet and to attach to the bottom of the slabs. It took 3 cuts on the slab to get to size, I used a circular saw and a straight edge, hit them with the palm sander, attached the floor flanges to the underside, stained, sealed and waxed. Came out very nice. The rattle is out of the sound, like rattling dishes and windows, just clean bass.
I used #10 1" flat head #2 Phillips wood screws to attach the flanges to the bases. I drilled pilot holes first, I think I used a 1/8" drill bit, you do not want to snap off a screw.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Another thing I am messing with is the way I am attaching the subs... Yesterday, I unhooked the LFE inputs and attached two 8 foot long speaker cables from my Emotiva XPA-2 to the High Level speaker inputs on the back of both SVS PB-1000 subs. R went to SVS R speaker, L went to SVS Left speaker line level inputs. I used only one input on the back of both subs, as it is a dual setup.
I'm still dialing this in, but I really like the sound that I am getting. I took the Denon out of the picture in regards to the subs, now using the SVS crossover and fade along with a Schiit Audio Loki to shape the sound. So far I am really impressed, especially with music. The Ultra bookshelf speakers really sound better if that is possible, as the bass is really blending in with them vs the old LFE.
I need to work with the phase control along with the crossovers, but so far I am really liking the sound. As far as how it will sound with movies, that is something else I need to tackle. I think this is going to work out quite well.
That's interesting! I like that you're trying a non standard configuration. From the photos I saw it looks like the Schiit only does stereo inputs how are you going to tackle multi channel movies? Or do you watch them in stereo?
Really helpful! Thanks do much for comparing with svs 2000
I own 3 and love them. Paired with a mini dsp you can’t miss.
This. I can't recommend the miniDSP enough!
when I go for sub woofer 12 inch is all i love, they sound great, and unreasonably balanced !
Fantastic review, I like your style. You said the RSL Speedwooder 10s was the most fun you've had with a sub, would you recommend it over the PB-1000, or do you think if you already have the PB-1000 (I do) that it wouldn't make sense to swap?
If it really has that punchy mid bass, I would think it would be more fun for Big Beat music and games/movies.
Thank you! In an either/or situation I would recommend the pb1000 over the speedwoofer. But to answer the question, would the speedwoofer be a nice accompaniment to the Pb1000? Yes I think so. I haven’t tried them together but I do think they would work well together.
Get the soundpath feet from svs 50 bucks and it tightened up the bass on this beautiful pb1000.
Yeah I use those on mine PLUS one of those carpeted fiberboard isoloaters with foam on the bottom that it stands on. Only issue is my bedroom (yes really) probably doesn't have enough space to actually make this sub work as good as it should, but I try!
You should do a video on how to setup a new subwoofer into your system. The 'crawl around the room' technique has some details people might want to see (like disconnecting your other speakers). If you do not have Audissey, you have to tell your receiver you have a subwoofer. Should you crank the volume knob on the sub before running Audissey? Where should you set the crossover? What about RCA cables vs a 'Subwoofer' cable? What about 60 hz hum? Lots of content/questions people might have.
Great topic, thanks!
What do you mean with more mid-bass subwoofer than ultra low bass sub if you get what i mean. The port is tuned to 22 Hz and it does 15 Hz. Never heard the monolith 10 or RLS speedwoofer but i would think it would be the exact same as the Monolith 10, both have a -3dB at 18 (somebody measured 18 Hz instead of 19 which is what SVS specs says). The Monolith has a crazy big surround, does it produce a lot of port noise at ultra low frequencies? 26 - 18 Hz. You should break the sub in then you'll get pretty amazed, i get around 100 dB at 20 Hz in my room with the door open. Thanks for this review, definitely the best review of this subwoofer. Take care man.
It’s good to hear from you!
Lots of room gain you got at 20hz
I really wanna hear those HSUs - I bet they sound really nice. I had two PB1000s but sent them back and replaced them with two Polk HTS12s. I compared them side by side before sending the PB1000s back and found the Polks to be much better balanced and provided far more output than the PB1000s. The Polks aren't rated as low as the PB1000s but they actually get lower than rated. I get decent output at 20hz. I have some sound samples on my channel.
Interesting! I’ll check out your channel
SVS simplesmente genial óptima qualidade já ouvi muita coisa mas como SVS não há nada melhor
Great review - on dual PB-1000: I would be placing them up front, equal distance left or right of TV ... I cannot move all over and have one here and one there - so it would be esthetically pleasing up front. My question is would I get good base output going with the in a dual configuration or would a single PB-2000 Pro give me more perceived output? Thanks for any thoughts!
Duals will give you more output even if they are both up front.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist thanks for the reply ... I'm pretty sure that's the route i will go
For home theater only do you recommend this pb 1000 or the svs sb 1000 which is the closed 12 inch???? I like deep bass for home theater
Unfortunately I haven’t tried the sb1000 so I have to say the Pb1000. Since it’s a ported design it will play deeper than the sb and that is bored out in the specs.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist thanks!
I have an option to go with PB 10 ISD for half price of the PB 1000! You seem to be the most knowledgeable reviewer on UA-cam ! What do you think should I spend double the amount to buy PB 1000 or pay less and get PB 10 ISD ( old model) apparently they are the same as per discussion forums ?

Hi Sir, good job. I am a great fan of you. I wanted to buy the subs for my Q Acoustics speaker family. Which one would be better? SVS PB1000 or QB12? I am little bit towards the bass. QB12 price is less than the SVS. I need your help on this.
Hi! I would go Svs because it plays a bit deeper.
Very good review! You really deserve more views!
Thanks! Keep sharing and we'll keep growing. Thanks for your support!
hey mate, I've got a pair of active studio monitors (behringer ms40's) and they only have red and white inputs at the back. they are a weird set of speakers, because one is active which has rca inputs, and just has a passive wire which connects to the passive speaker. i am currently running an aux to red and white wire from my aux output on the laptop to the back of the speakers. how would i go about integrating this subwoofer? could i get this sub, run an aux to red and white from the laptop to the sub inputs, and then run a red and white wire from the sub outputs to the studio monitors? will the crossover from the sub affect what i hear from the monitors? cheers, great video, dropped a like and sub. :)
HT Hobbyist I am saving up to buy a new subwoofer for my home theater setup, I own a Polk Audio PSW505 but I'm not happy with it so I have the RSL Speedwoofer 10s & the SVS PB1000 on my bucket list. Which one is better? is the extra $100 worth it for the PB1000?
I own and listened to a PSW 110 for a few years myself. Based on my experience I say go with the PB1000. The speedwoofer 10s is a great and I mean great sub but the 1000 is better and I think it'll be a more noticeable upgrade vs the 10s. Hopefully this helps, let me know what you decide and how you like it.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Thanks a lot responding, I will get 2 PB1000's for my setup and see how impressive duals are.
Good review, out of curiosity what kind of editing do you use, also it that a pub table you use for your reviews thanks for reading
I use final cut for editing. The table is an old 2 seat breakfast table. 😁
Home Theater Hobbyist thank you I greatly appreciate it
Very fair review! I think svs has the best service based upon reading many reviews, upgrade option within 12 months, and replacements parts rather than the need to return the entire sub (monoprice). Have any of you done any acoustic panels/bass traps to enhance/even out sub performance? it's something I don't see in any sub reviews.
Thanks! Yes, I've added some acoustic treatment to my room and like the response. I found that it yields a cleaner more even response. I also tried a bass trap and found that it does work but I need to add more to get the full affect.
Thank you for this ! Lots of comparisons
Glad it was helpful!
Good review. I currently have 2 klipsch r-10sw. Do you think this is worth the upgrade ?
It would be an upgrade if you want to go deeper in the 20's. Your subs including mine does 30's. I'm also thinking about upgrading to a SVS subwoofer. I'm thinking dual pb 2000 or pb 3000

@@MrSuperman258401 To be honest I'm leaning towards a ported sub. I want the extra low bass. I know 2 pb 2000 will do the job but it's nice to have pb 3000 for future proofing for a larger room.

But svs app support of the 3000 over 2000 line is worth it.
@@MrSuperman258401 👍
This or the SB1000? I can't hear them before buying and never heard a sealed one before so it's so hard for me to make an ideea of how sealed sounds versus the ported ones.
If you’re into movies pb, if you listen mostly to music, sb.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist im into both so its hard to choose but i heard that the SB1000 is kinda weak and underwhelming, cant afford the SB2000 so probably ill go with a ported.
Since you’re into both, I’d probably choose the pb but I’m also a home theater guy so I’m probably a little bias 😁. On another note, I’m hoping to get a sb1000 in for testing in a few months and but there are zero guarantees that I’ll get it. So don’t wait for that video if you’re looking to get it soon.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist ok and thanks for your replies!
When running dual subs should the rca's be the same length to eliminate timing delays in the audio signal to each woofer
No they don’t have to be. The receiver auto calibration software should compensate for timing difference with its distance calculation.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist makes sense. Such a pain having to run room correction with each new component. Test tones send my wife crazy. Thanks for the reply.
Hey! I'm currently looking for an upgrade to my logitech z623 and i'm not sure if this will be much louder. I've seen reviews and idk ppl say it isn't really loud? do you think it's worth the money?
The PB-1000 is a solid sub. I've tested quite a few 10inch ported subs and in my opinion it's the "Best All Around". Meaning it'll play well in the middle of the bass range and also deep. Here's a playlist of my other 10inch sub reviews. They include audio samples to give you some idea of how each sub sounds. ua-cam.com/play/PL0qBT6tP91WA_9PKCCiE4WpmPgAyWHNtv.html
My room is a little big at just about 4560 cubic ft. The room is very quiet, and tight, and does not have any echo. My SB1000 sounds good, but I know I’m not getting what I should for a room that size. I’m thinking of buying another one, but was wondering if I should buy the PB 1000 to go with it instead. I don’t know if I should go bigger on the second one because I don’t want to drown out the SB. Any thoughts?
Adding an additional sub will give you more output and balance (more even bass response throughout the room). If you’re happy with the sb1000 and just want more output/balance get a 2nd sb. If you want a little more low end bass with an increase in output get a pb1000. I haven’t listened to the sb 1000 but that’s the difference I expect.
Home Theater Hobbyist I’m returning the SB 1000, just ordered 2 PB 1000’s. My room is a little over 5000 cubic ft. SVS told me I should love the performance! Can’t wait
Nice! Let me know how you like it.
Thanks for the reviews! This review influenced me to purchase a PB1000. I do feel that the sub performs much better for movies compared to music though. I have 2 units, and the punch and frequency waves are crazy good with movies (6 underground is a new favorite, check that one out). But for music (my music source being master quality with Tidal), the punch is lacking quite a bit for all genres. I'm not sure if it's the way I have everything set up, but I did run MCACC pro on my Pioneer receiver, and increased the gain on the sub even after tuning. All in all, I simply feel the need to manually boost the gain with music compared to movies. I'd appreciate any feedback, and again thank you for your content!
I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it. I agree it's better for movies than music. The SB1000 is more for music, I actually compare the two here: ua-cam.com/video/13XhymcBeK8/v-deo.html.
Great review hobbyist I was actually waiting for it because I have the monolith 10 and was wondering how it compared to the glorious svs and based on how house shattering it's low frequency extension was I was pretty interesting to hear if the svs would out do it which I highly doubted so my nerves are now settled I got a powerful center and towers so I don't need it's mid bass but I did test it and saw it's absence I guess it's a trade off well respected one
Thank you, I’m happy to hear this video was helpful.
I haven't heard an outlaw sub but people say good things
Ok thanks! When are they typically on sale? Around the holidays or do I just need to keep an eye out?
Hello .. I want your suggestion about svs pb-1000. My bedroom is 3115 cubic feet. Is this sub enough for the room size?
It should work but a pb-2000 may provide better output for a room that size. You could also consider purchasing 2 pb-1000s for more output and better bass balance. Hope this helps
Whoa, this is a 10 in her right? That thing is huge. Was expecting a smaller one
Yep it’s a 10inch :)
What's a great sub to be paired with this one not being another svs ?
I like HSU research subwoofers, I gave my long term thoughts on one here: ua-cam.com/video/_fQuCtSyfuo/v-deo.html
I thought you already decided on going with the HSU. Did you get this just to review?
Yes I got it for the review. I still have my HSU, it’s still my main sub 😁 Thanks for asking!
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Oh ok, I thought you switched ship from HSU to this.
Great review sir! You helped me make a decision. Thx
Awesome
I gave it a solid 4 out of 5 overall. For what you get at 500 USD. Actually the cabinet has quite a bit of resonates. Not as solid as it should be. I believe thats where SVS cheaped out. For me at high volume. I notice some mechanical noice from the sub itself. Maybe even some clipping from the amplifier. Didn't really like the flimsy cheap power cable. So i upgraded to something from Audioquest. I mainly use powered subwoofers in my hi-fi stereo. So i prefer powered subwoofers that have the 5 way binding post, banana high level inputs. This and its sealed brother are the only ones that have them from SVS. Since most people use LFE outputs from their home theater receivers. Its not as popular of an input. So my options were limited. Unfortunately i can only use one sub instead of dual. So i was hoping for at least a 12. Rather then a 10.
Interesting review. Thank you. I am going to hold off and wait to see if I can find the RSL Speedwoofer 10s that digs low too. I don’t know what sub out there does what the RSL can do and what the SVS can do at the lower frequencies. It seems there are compromises when it comes to subs. At least from what I have experienced so far. But I owned the PC-2000 and the low energy frequency is amazing but lacks the RSL’s lightning fast response, accuracy and chest hitting bass. I have been dialing in my dual RSL’s all weekend and my gosh. I have never heard a sub like it. I put on some dual kick drum bass songs today from some pretty heavy hard metal bands and the RSL’s had no problems keeping up. It’s as if they are servo controlled subs. There is nooooo way on earth that the PC2000 could have handled those tracks with the same detail and nimbleness that the RSL’s did. Now I am thinking that the L-22 from Rythmik might just be the best of both worlds. Just from looking at the specs. It seems like the sealed dual 12’s can be just as fast but also go deep. I don’t know though. I keep trying to convince you to get one to review. I will be VERY interested to hear your opinion if you ever went that route. Would also love to see a review of the Powersound Audio 18 inch sub. That thing is a beast! IMO, there are 5 powerhouse subwoofer companies out there and this is complete speculation but from just looking at specs and reading reviews. Rythmik would be number 1 with PSA number 2, HSU 3rd, Monoprice 4th and SVS 5th. RSL is kind of in their own class and category as I have yet to find a sub like it. I am holding on to those until I do! But.......... Joe at RSL tells me there is a new sub in the works. Hummmmmmm......
😁😁😁😁 You seem like a cool guy Jeff, I like you. Yes the RSL is amazing and I’m looking forward to trying out a Rhythmic, hopefully soon. I really want to hear how the servo controlled sub sounds. I probably won’t go the sealed route because I prefer ported and I can more easily compare my previous experience.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist I am not that cool but thanks. LOL I like you too! Keep up the great work! I have thought about starting my own channel. I have been into audio since I was a little kid. I have a lot of experience but by no means do I call myself a pro or anything. Just a normal guy with a passion for audio. I even used to compete in car audio comps. I am just not that great when it comes to speaking in front of people or a camera. LOL Anyway, I hope you get a chance with one of those Rhythmik's soon. Sealed, ported, it doesn't matter, I just want to see how it compares to the RSL. I will be watching your channel closely. No pressure. LOL
A guy I have been talking to on Audiokarma.com was going to buy the PB-1000 and I suggested RSL, He had never heard of them before but he went with my suggestion. He got it yesterday as pm’d me saying thank you. That he loves it! Best sub he has ever had. The RSL is LEGIT!

How do you compare a sealed box to a ported box? SVS SB 2000 vs PB 2000? Thanks

Yes, it would work.
question...I have the PB1000 with Denon 3600 mu Sub is always on, i see the blue light even when my
AVR is off? is this normal shouldn't i see a red light showing its powered down?
Make sure the secondary power switch is set to “Auto On”. Then it should power off (red light) after 15 minutes or so without a signal.
Great thx. It worked
How do you think this sub stacks up with the Klipsch SPL-12? I'm trying to decide which sub to go with. Gonna get two regardless of which I choose
I haven't tried the SPL-12 but I did try the SPL-100 and thought it was an excellent sub. I do think the PB-1000 is more balanced so between those two I choose the PB-1000 but the Klipsch SPL-100 is a great sub. Here's a link to my review: ua-cam.com/video/nWLfZSOvOZ0/v-deo.html
Need you help to decide between dual svs pb 1000 or dual monolith 10 ??...
wow now that's a choice! I'd say pb-1000 if you want a little more balanced bass but monolith 10 if you want deep deep bass! 😆 Let me know what you decide and how you like it.
I pick dual pb 1000 and I’m amaze ..lol!!! It’s more what I expected ...thanks for your help!!
Would it be worth upgrading from my Klipsch RW-10D subwoofer? Thanks
I haven't heard that sub in my room but I did a comparison with the Klipsch SPL-100 and PB1000 here: ua-cam.com/video/nWLfZSOvOZ0/v-deo.html. The video includes audio samples so you should check it out to here the differences between those two.
Just bought one pb-1000 and I'm really satisfied but it doens't shake the room at 20 hz. I can't even hear anything at 20 hz, it drops off at like 26 hz witch is kind of a bummer.
You need to find a better spot for it. It goes down to 19hz minimum..find the proper spot..with room gain ..I've seen 16hz at -3db.
Man. On my Klipsch KSW 200 this sound amazing lol
Great review, 2 PB1000 is the best way to go for small or medium rooms.
I agree
Which one is better Svs PB1000 or Klipsch r-112sw ??
I haven't tried the R-112sw but I did compare the PB1000 to the SPL-100. So this may give you some idea of the differences. ua-cam.com/video/nWLfZSOvOZ0/v-deo.html
Thanks for information. I have already purchased the SVS-PB1000 and I am very happy 😀
Is this too much for me? I live in an apartment and obviously don't want to anger the neighbors. So if I only use it for low volume am I paying too much and should just get a klipsch?
I live in a quad plex apartment, sharing walls with 2 other neighbors. I'm running dual PB 1000s and haven't had any complaint yet, .. I am pretty easy on the volume levels because I like my neighbors, but I still turn it up enough to pressurize the whole apartment and get that bass in the chest feeling. Sometimes I do run it LOUD, but I let my neighbors know ahead of time if I'm going to into basshead mode ;-)
2 pb1000s shared aparment wall and no complaints LOL.
Are your neighbours crack heads? Cant imagine somone not complaining about that.
Hi, I’m here in the UK.. it’s time to upgrade my sub, I’m coming from 1 x Q Acoustics 3070S🤣
I only have a Denon AVRX-2200, do you reckon this sub will be a massive upgrade? Whatever I get has to be white
Yes I think the pb1000 will be a really good upgrade. Also check out the q acoustics qb12 they have a white version. I reviewed it here: m.ua-cam.com/video/ZzGB8A16Ehg/v-deo.html

Is it huge for 11 x 11 size foot room??
No, it should be fine but I wouldn't go bigger 😁
Very good preview
Thanks!
how does this compare with polk HTS12?
I haven't tried the PolK so I can't say, sorry.
I use a Martin Logan dynamo 300 that’ sounds good for around $200 I only use one but looking to get another
This can handle 110-220v right?
what do you mean?
Different countries have different voltage.
Eg 240 for most of the world and 110v for America.
Or the other way around idk ? I know america has there own power voltage because they need to be special lol.
congratulations for the videos I need your help add another sv-pb-1000 or buy a pb-3000 I want more bass thanks
I haven’t tried the 3000 but it will play deeper and with more output than the 1000 so if you room is relatively large pairing that with the 1000 should work well. But if your room is medium size or smaller dual 1000s should do the trick. Hopefully this helps!
Whats the actual dimensions . Thanks!
Cabinet Dimensions: 18.9" (H) x 15" (W) x 19.4" (D) (without grille).
Overall Dimensions: 18.9" (H) x 15" (W) x 20" (D) (with grille).

8:11 I did have to turn up the volume up just a nut 🥜 8:19 mut 9:09 comparison
I was actually gonna go with the monolith 10 til they discontinued it and priced their new one 150 dollars more
Is he saying there's no amp? The website says it has a Sledge STA-300D DSP amplifier.
Not saying that at all, I mentioned the power ratings as 300 watts RMS and 700 watts Peak. It is a sledge, I didn't mention that part.
4:20 "let's take a quick break and listen to a couple of sound samples so you can hear how it sounds"
you forgot this is a youtube video and not a live in-person presentation
I agree it's not in person and there is UA-cam compressions etc. but you'd be surprised by how many people ask for longer sound samples. 😁
Can I run this at 100% volume 24/7?
Maybe?? That's a pretty extreme case but if you need 100% volume I would choose a different sub maybe the pb3000 or something bigger. Since this is an extreme case contact svs and discuss your needs with them they maybe able to suggest a good fit for your needs.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist I mean, I won't do that all the time, but I wanted just to know if it has problems playing at that level. On what volume do u usually run It?
O ok, I thought maybe you were running a night club or something 😁. I typically run it around 35% volume which equates to 77db at my main listening position. I find this setting has a nice balance between bass and the other frequencies. I've run it at 65% while testing but when watching movies or listening to music the bass notes would really over power everything else in the track which I don't care for.
Now, if you have a really big space (let's say greater than 700 square feet) and sit far from the sub you may need to turn the volume up a bit to get the right balance. In this case a bigger sub would probably work better like the Pb2000 but the 1000 will handle a normal size room just fine.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist My room is about 200 square feet, I don't got the sub yet tho, going to get one during the same :D, so I think it would be more than enough for this space. I was thinking of saving a little bit more and buying the PB2000, but I think it will be maybe too much.
Ok you should be great with the 1000. I was doing some testing with my 1000 last night and it was rattling my windows at 50% volume (I was measuring 86db at my listening position). My room is L shaped but it's around 280 Sq feet.
Review the PB2000 the 12 Inch
It has a better grill as well
Hes already done that sub, check it out.
Is anyone has any expierience with xtz 10.17 sub?
Amlgos isto mesmo 100000000000 ,de rstrelas maravilha sei muito disto pelo preço porra e dado encanta mesmo
Good review
Thanks
The design is nice and they do play very low which is excellent but I was able to get very good music playback through my dsp settings. Great all around, and easier on wallet than svs subs even though I love the svs subs.
Which sub are you referring to?
I like the monolith subs!
What do you like about them? How deep they play? Design?
Damm bratha"Good advice.You know your speakers.👌
thanks!
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist are you gonna review the pb or sb 2000 pro subwoofers
If I can get a pair in I will
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist ok friend!

Se anda para comprar va ha maquisom oiça e vera que tras logo isto oelhor ja tive muitos mas este vai morrer comigo amoooo e demais peça la ao sr luis u sr antonio para ligalo ok. Boa compra
Ouvir isto so. Ouvindo
I got a asw 300 for $100 ☺️
👍🏾!!
Subwoofers just weigh to much for me now that I’m older.
I’m sorry to hear that. Have you thought about a more compact sub like an 8inch? You may need two to get better output but that would give you some low end.
Only these behemoths.you can get much smaller Rel being a prime example
Wow, when you knocked on the cabinet, it sounded hollow, no thud. I'm not sure on your sturdy comment.
I didn’t enjoy those sound samples the SVS sound is terrible this SVS must have bass boost cuz I saw the scene of Jurassic park on UA-cam and the bass is very different you should make sure the bass is correct before making a sound sample
I've had 2 of these now and I can tell you from personal experience that they are absolute rubbish. I hear good things about the bigger subs from svs but the 10 inch is crap
How well does this sub sound for music?
good subs can play music ..this here is the definition of a good subwoofer ..a good PORTED sub to be specific
