You can spend 3,4,5k or more on a great sub and frankly it depends on size of your space and quality of unit driving the sub. First of all SVS subs blow away just about anything out there regardless of price. I think their top of line is 2500.00. The SB 3000 is about 1000.00. Worth every penny. Built tough as nails this baby comes in at 55lbs. I tested it with YouTube 40hz , 30hz and 20hz sub test tones. Past each test by rattling my bones not the woofer. Cheaper subs have distorted rattles and cannot handle 40hz at decent volume let alone 30 or 20hz. You aren’t even coming close with Polk, pioneer, JBL or countless other store brands SVS SB 3000 is reference quality. I listen to prog metal, jazz fusion, blues and experimental stuff too all very well recorded and played back in SACD and HiRes. The SVS App makes it easy to dial in from the listening position and works flawlessly. They kept it simple so it works every time! SVS customer experience is second to none! I purchased the SB2000 Pro first and Kudos to Best Buy they exchanged it no problem. The 3000 just seemed like it would be better for Blue Ray movies and streaming and I was right. If I had room I’d get the 4000 lol Honestly you cannot go wrong. Play with settings a little and you will find the sweet spot. I didn’t get the ported option because I listen to more music these days and I like the clarity and punch a sealed sub has.............................subterranean!

One of the best sub out there . Very solid . I use it for movies and music , very accurate in frequency response . Blend seamlessly with my full range Klipsch Floor standing front speakers.Incredibly low frequency extension. Well designed and built cabinet. If you can bi amp your floor front speakers it’s even better which I did . They only regret I had was not getting it sooner because of its price but Best Buy hooked me up with the 12 mos no interest financing . It’s a win win. So don’t wait and purchase it at Best Buy today.

I replaced two KEF subs with this one. It blends seamlessly with the other KEF speakers in my home theatre. Deep, satisfying bass with no vibrations customary for cheaper subs. It can literally be felt, especially when watching movies. No regret, except the fact that I didn’t buy two.

Added this SB3000 in addition to 4 Klipsch subs. Watched Edge of Tomorrow again and heard or felt new vibrations. It was like watching a new movie. Now just have to decide on a projector.

Can be better for the price. 16” are better svs subwoofers
