OMG! Thanks so much for posting this! I've been going crazy to make a choice. I will get dual SB-2000. Thank you so much brother!
Not a prob
Trade in for dual sb3000. I am.
@@paulgolub6823 How's the sound?
I know your question is three years old but my little to sense from my experience is that it’s best to get the 4000 by one now and get the other one later
I have two of the 2000s they are nice but the 4000 a much better
I recognize that room. Nice setup look forward to seeing more.
The correct choice is dual sb 4000 lol
off the bat im looking forward to purchasing a SVS SB sub. All i hear are great things about them. What makes me wonder is when you guys talk about sweet spot and sub placement. I understand all that physics but man, one sub from a reputable company , for me, gets the job done. I can hear the sub frequency and i can feel it rattling my what ever room its in. I dont know if you guys are def or just bass junkies. Or could it be your sub or subs are not doin its job. No offense intended , im just curious.
I joined the SBS4000 CLub. Mine will arrive in 1 day. I am currently using an older Velodyne HGS10.
Luis Cardona enjoy
How's the sound?
how does the SB-4000 compare to the old school Velodyne HGS-10?
Great work on the video!
good morning i would like to buy a subwoofer and i am undecided on which model to choose. i have identified the following models svs sb4000 and jl audio 112. I would use it mainly for cinema, which one would you recommend?
Thx for the video
John Lira welcome
Or do 4 PB/SB2000 with a miniDSP and just kill the room for less than a pair of 4000s.
Chris Jennings point is to do what best for your room and seating within your budget
Agreed, i have space to do 4, so my route right now will be to add an additional PB2000s to my 2 existing if I choose to push it anymore. The mini-DSP gives the pb2000 the missing control that he SB4000 would have with its native programming . I have a wide seating arrangement with 4 seats across a front line in a very wide room where additional subs dispersed would have massive improvement in overall coverage. No question the 4000 is a more powerful single unit.
Of course, do I need more than 2 PB 2000s... well hell no, but can I.. hell yeah!!! We will see, but first, moving from prime towers to Ultra Towers to match the Ultra Center I have. Cheers!!! Lets us know your thoughts on the ultras with the Outlaw.
That's what I did.

I'm going DUAL SVS SB-16 Ultra.
What do u think of the pb 4000 against the sb 16 u then?.
I’m in the same boat. Wife definitely likes smaller form factor sb 16 ultra.. But Im afraid loosing the super low bass output
evanwelder You won't lose that low end with a sb4000. Sealed subwoofers should be able to play sub 20hz clear and loud if it's good.
In what way does the sb-4000 outperform the 2 sb-2000's? Is it faster/hits harder, or just in terms of extension?
mcmalden well do it power output, it works effortlessly with some if the content I've thrown at it. It does dig deeper in response giving it more room presence. Then it's ability to tune it and control with app if you know what your doing and can measure room response.
That said dual sb2000 did better at evening room response if you watch my past video on them.
Hey I know your question is four years old but I do want to throw my two cents in there The SB 4000 outperform both of the 2000s in every shape form or fashion
From my experience it’s best buy the 4000 now and buy another one later
Just got my sb2000 a couple of days ago. And am underwhelmed. Tried it hooked up single RCA to LFE, sounds weak. Tried it with Y-connecter, and it sounds better, but not great. How do you have yours hooked up? 🤔🤔🤔
Don't have them anymore, but they were hooked up to just LFE. But placement and time alignment is also key
Good morning I recently bought 1 sennheiser ambeo soundbar which I am really happy with. I would like to add 1 subw model svs sb4000 or svs pb4000 for more bass. I would like to ask you if by inserting one of these two models I can improve the bass sound more or given the high costs of the models described above, I only keep the soundbar? we are talking about € 2399 and € 2899. for this reason I ask you if by adding 1 subw I really gain from listening to both music and movies. Thanks for your answer
All depends on your room an placement. But add either will definitely add to the experience. I prefer sealed subs for my space for movies and music. But dial subs it the better options.
So maybe dual sb2000 pros or sb3000, or even dual of the new svs 3000 micro
I have the 2000s in my game room and I have the SB 4000 in the front room for me the 4000s are just amazing if you want to be punched in the face kicked in the gut get the 4000
The 2000s are nice but once you hear and experience the 4000 you would not want to get the 2000s
If you got the money to buy two of the 2000s don’t do it by one of the 4000 now and then get the other one later
Got dual sb2000 pros at the moment with iso feet
So I have a pair of B&W 805D3’s with a HTM2D3 center, I have two REL t/5i’s right now that they do well with music with the high pass speakon connection but for movies, they rattle off too much. I can only place dual subs right in front of the viewing area one on each side of the component rack. They would be in between the front speakers and the rack, so not on corners. Is dual subs worth it or am I better off with a single “better” sub like the 3000 or 4000. Also my room is rather small, about 11x10.
My room is only 12x12 and yes dual subs are with it. But it's all about placement and tuning.
Best thing is a Umik-1 usb mic and REW (free software) to take some room measure so you see what your sub or subs are doing. Adjust placement and then adjust tuning. Nice thing about the svs subs and the app control. Other mini dsp 2x4HD can help too. Check out home theater gurus UA-cam channel has a great video on this and how to setup multiple subs.
What's your advice on dual SB-2000's vs single SB-3000? I have a 1,400 ft3 room. (12.5 x 14.5 ft) I'll be using them for music and movies. Thanks!
Duals
If you know you can get duals sb3000 at some point work towards that. Otherwise dual sb2000 will do the trick with right placement.
How good is the svs sb 2000’s? I have 2 svs sb 1000 in my 12x12 and am looking to go for 2 sb 2000’s. I love my current subs but at 200$ more i think it’s worth ot. My question is, how much better are they than sb 1000?
They are great, and a big improvement
MrSuperman258401 Thank you so much, will be adding them to my room soon👍
My rooms 12x12 as well. So it all about placement. But they do a great job.
Then sb3000 do a little better, then sb4000 , then sb16 .
Otherwise you could dip in the pb2000 or pb3000.
But my room prefers sealed subs better
MrSuperman258401 Yeah i think sealed is better for my room aswell. There is not alot Of good subwoofer placements in my room and I don’t think a ported sub would make things easier. Also, have you noticed any ”cone flapping” on the sb 2000? I have it on my sb 1000’s and it’s annoying. Not sure if it’s the right term but i’m pretty sure it’s just a little over excursion.
@@bakoe7604 well if you can swing the little extra for sb3000 you'll be golden. Not sure where you're located and where you plan to purchase them
this is exactly my situation, thanks for addressing.
my apt is 12 wide x 30 deep (open living room leading into open kitchen, no walls in between)
currently using kef ls50wireless speakers.
biggest question: is the bass quality much better on the 4000 vs the 2000 (single 4000 vs dual 2000)
1st your welcome, really depends on the content you play on them.
I got better bass response with dual sb2000, with better bass across the range from 80hz and below where I had my speakers crossovers set.
But the sb4000 could handle the bass output better with less effort but was really strong with the 40hz and below. I really needed 2 sb4000 for better response in room over dual sb2000.
Only other thing I would consider would be dual pb2000 if you want it to dig a little deeper.
Also give svs a shout and talk to Ed Mullen, tell him about your room and gear your running , he the one that suggested the dual sb2000 in the 1st place for me.
thanks....despite the kef ls50 wireless only having one sub out, i understand i can use some RCA splitter or something to run the 2nd sub, should i go that route.

Or you can use svs connector.
And if you order from avsellerz.com you get enter to win a pb4000
What settings do you have on the SB2000s? I just picked up two of them but their volume is so low...I have to turn it to almost max volume to get anything
I don't have them anymore, but only had to have them 1/2 way.
Check your audio configurations in your AVR.
Speaker size
Cross overs
Speaker level
LFE setting
@@MrSuperman258401 it helps if I switch speakers to small but then my towers and center sound so bad. What do you recommend? Im using Marantz 7012
@@bobmcmillen5298 then try them large and set bass to LFE+main

@@MrSuperman258401I approve this comment 😂
I have just upgraded to the sb4000 from the sb2000 and its really great but i think the box is way too big from my front room, im thinking about getting the sb3000 instead do you think it will still sound good enough?
Dual sb3000 should definitely work, if can get there over time. I'm currently run one sb3000. Love size. Really similar to the sb2000 foot print.
And dual sb2000 did amazing in my room. Love having the app support on the sb3000 sub too.
Svs has the outlet sale going on right now too.
@@MrSuperman258401 How much better is the sb-3000 if you campare to only one sb-2000?
@@485danne it better sub, can hand more thrown at it. Gives you svs app control and tuning and gets rid of blue power LED on the front of sb2000.
I personally would get the sb3000 over the sb2000.
It the best of both worlds between the 2000 and 4000.
@@MrSuperman258401 Alright. Thanks for your input. It's a pity they don't sell them in gloss white though. :/ I can get two white SB-2000 for the same price of one SB-3000 and that's why I'm asking. The SB-2000 is a bit old but it also got good review from people in my country. The SB-3000 is more unexplored territory but looks good on paper.
@@485danne well if you can get dual 2000s for the price of 1 3000. I'd go that route.
If your not going to benefit from the app and prefer the white. If you don't need the extra response and power as well.
You've heard all sb2000, sb3000, sb4000. some of the reviewer out there told that sb3000 is not a middle ground between sb2000 and sb4000, the sb3000 is so much closer to the sb4000 leaving way behind the sb2000, maybe because of the new design split-wind voice coil. could you confirm that?
Yes it's definitely closer to the sb4000 preformance with the smaller foot print like the sb2000.
Just remember every room reacts different
Just wondering I would like to get a pb2000 as I alwys like ported subs.. but since I got smaller room so I was thinking to get sb2000 which is not ported but atlis it's 12inch driver n 500 watts!! What about if I compare pb1000 with sb2000 with the music playing hip hop n rnb with deep bass which one is better as I'm planning to get one this month! Thanks
I have a pb2000 in a large room. It is incredibly powerful. Only thing I don't like is when playing at high output, it is slightly slow in its response time. If you are very critical about that, it might annoy you. I haven't heard a sb2000 but I hear people say that it doesn't have near the output of the pb.
Baltej Dhillon .. I don't get .. what u mean " doesn't have near the output of pb?? U mean the pb is way better ???
Narcos Season1 Narcos Season1 the pb2000 has much more output cause it's ported, especially in larger rooms. The Sb is still good but needs to be in a smaller room to have a similar effect. It doesn't mean the pb is better, but is definitely louder. The Sb will probably have slightly better sound quality and tightness in the bass. My next subwoofer will definitely need to be larger, probably a pb4000, so I can also run the subwoofer in the sealed mode for better sound quality.
Baltej Dhillon ohhhh ok got it.. thanks for the info...my room isn't that big so I guess that would be great in my room.. thanks again 👍🏻
Btw do u sell ur old sub? Or u jst adding up another subs? Y not get the pb16?? So don't have to get another one ..cos prob u won't get contented after a while 😂
How much more powerful is this than the svs sb2000?
In terms of power? The specs are on svs site.
As far as how it plays, it digs deeper and plays effortlessly with still power in reserve.
You only need one good sub. If you have to get 2 subs , then the subwoofer is not good enough.
no
@@operamatthew I have only one powerful sub and am happy with it
Michael Anyim good for you, that still doesn’t make your previous statement any less wrong.
@@operamatthew it does. Why do you need so many " sweet spots" if its just you? Multiple sub is just marketing. (Buy more) I used to have dual pb1000. It didn't make any difference when I switched one off. Good placement of a single sub is all that is needed.
Michael Anyim for you it seems you only need one sweet spot cause you have no friends. no surprise there.
and if you already have a SB2000?
Kaifa76 that comes down to preference, what your looking to improve.
Kaifa76 if you want better bass response in room get a 2nd sb2000 and iso feet for both.
Kaifa76 if you want deeper and stronger lower bass look at pb2000's or more powerful and deeper sealed like sb4000.
Kaifa76 if your US based safe bet is a 2nd sb2000 since they have 45 day trial. Just for yourself. If still feel your missing something then you need
A. Better sub placement
B. Better sub response and output.
Good luck with your HT improvements
How big is your room..?
Peter J 12'x12'x7'
MrSuperman258401
Would dual pb4000 be to much if you would want Theme..?
Peter J if tuned right for the room they be fine.
They would be to much for my wife and my neighbors.
The dual sb2000's where vibrating stuff on their walls at near reference volume.
But dual pb4000 would dig deeper and more tactile feel. Plus more low frequency to my neighbors.
So it all about tuning and sound proofing and your neighbors
MrSuperman258401
I dont have any nighboirs and have now dual pb2000 in my room ho is 1450 Cubic feet.
But thinking on getting dual pb4000 or dual pb13-ultra. But dont now if it going to be to much for my room. 99% movie watching
Maybe egnofe whit my dual pb2000 and not whort the money..?
What do you Think..?
Peter J have you ever measure your room response?
