GREAT BASS if that is what you’re looking for. I will probably get another one to match this one.

1st of all my product arrived damaged it was just the metal screen cover but when I contacted Best Buy they basically told me to take a hike. They wouldn’t provide me with any help to get a replacement. So I’ll no longer be making large purchases from them. The sub is decent, I was expecting more of power from it based on its price point.

Great sub for the money. Packs a lot of punch for it's size.

First, this is definitely in a category in its own that justifies stepping up from the cheapy entry-level subwoofers on the market, and one quick sign straight away is that it kicks on more often when calibrated properly because it extends into lower frequencies that it's entry-level market counterparts, and it's outrageously powerful, punchy, deep, and doesn't seem to let up its lower-end integrity or might anywhere. But to address my title/summary, I had a roughly equivalent sealed SVS Ultra 13 for quite a while before this ported version, and I went that route because it was supposed to be more "musical." Well as far as I am concerned, this is just as musical, and is now my clear preference over the sealed version, and I think a lot of it has to do with feeling just way more powerful, like it's free to handle outrageous bass with no chains on while still feeling punchy and musical. I am happy to recommend this over the sealed unless you don't ever need more volume. This is outrageously overkill for most needs I would argue.

Wow is all that I can say about this sub. Paired with a Klipsch Dolby Atmos towers, surrounds and center channel, along with a Denon receiver and 85" Sony LED TV and I have the theater of my dreams. This sub punches low and hard. I haven't even scratched the surface of this subs potential, and plan to tinker with the app features to fine-tune even further. To be clear, this isn't just obnoxious bass for the sake of bass. For movies it brings actions scenes to life, and even handles music without "boominess" and drowning out mid and high details from the towers. Ported subs can often sound muddy to my ears, but this sub checks off almost all of my boxes. The only downfall (and frankly unavoidable) is the size; this thing is massive. If you have the space and want one of the best all-around subs on the market, this is it.

This SVS sub is unbelievable. It replaced a REL Storm III sub that was great for music but not so great with blu-ray video. Right away I could hear and feel a difference in sound quality. The SVS phone app makes it easy to tweak settings and comes with default settings for music and movies. I also got the foam inserts from SVS that plug the two ports. They make some subtle difference for music. I do recommend tuning your system if you have something like Audyssey. You will be happy with this sub.

This makes move night extremely enjoyable. I can't get over how low and clean this thing plays. When I play music I find myself cranking up the volume and get to hear bass I have never heard.

This sub shakes my entire house! It is what I’ve been looking for in a sub. I use the LFE connection and let the receiver send the low frequencies only to it. It works really well with the RZ-50.

Beast! Dial it in using the app and this sub performs flawlessly with movies in my home theater and with music on my Marantz integrated amp. I added the SVS isolation feet to handle vibration and sometimes use port plugs for music listening mainly to tighten up the sound of some types of music like jazz fusion. It’s pretty heavy 82lbs but ships at 97lb so something to consider when bringing it home. There are very few better subs than SVS at any price. I got ported because I use for movies and music. I went to YouTube and ran every bass test I could find. Apparently those tests are not accurate but they give any sub a workout and this SVS beast performed perfectly. I did have to dial it in a few times at high volume (over 90db). ONCE I LEARNED HOW TO USE THE APP nothing rattled it. If I was only concerned with music I wouldn’t have gotten ported. That’s why I use port plugs and although not a perfect solution at 60 yrs. Old I doubt I can tell the difference. The app works great and I suggest going to YouTube and watch some SVS videos on how best to dial it in. You can also call SVS directly. They are one of the best companies I’ve come across as far as return policy, customer service, audio advice and access. They actually pick up the phone and walk you through what ever issue you have.

Extremely versatile and powerful. Performs perfect at movies and music

This sub sound great for music and hits unbelievably hard for movies. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the port plugs were included in the box and I didn't have to do a request from SVS. I thought I would hate the metal front cover but I ended up really liking it. It looks better in person than any pictures I've seen. I have cement floors with a large open room so I needed something that has some real oomph. The bass just fills the room and feels so thick that would could cut it with a knife. If you want to do movies get the ported version. The app is really well done. It's nice to be able to make changes without getting up from my seat.

One of the best subwoofers at $1000-$2000! This sub does not disappoint and it is top quality built. I have had this for a year now and it shakes the house. This one added sounds even better making my setup dual subs. It hits hard and is great for my home theater setup. I recommend this sub to anyone that loves bass.

I purchased this to replace a failed Klipsch I had for 11 years. This big SVS is another level! Big room filling bass that will go right through you! The mobile app is great for tweaking. I also have a big Denon receiver with room correction! Highly recommended!!!

Awesome addition to the home theater in the basement. This subwoofer helps bring a better experience. Worth the money

Great product for the $$. Getting another one bc i liked this one so much

Nice really nice i tried the pb1000 then the pb3000 which is great..I swaped for the pb400 because my hiuse is large and its a pure beast..

I have Klipsch high end surround sound system that unfortunately over powered my dual RW-12ds. I originally wanted dual PB ultras, but I just didn’t have the space for them. I went with 2 PB-3000s and got to say I’m glad I did. Very clean and clear Bass that you’ll feel in your bones. One issue I have is that both subs came with very small amount of damage on the back due to poor packaging. If you spend $1400 On a sub it should be packaged better.

One great subwoofer. I tested the speaker with two of my test disc's: The 1812 Overture on a Telarc CD and Apocalypse Now (when they dropped the napalm bombs). I was not disappointed. It rocked the room. The speaker is very heavy so once it is in place that is where it's going to stay. But, no problem, because through the magic of Bluetooth and my cell phone using the SVS app there was no need to move the speaker to get to the controls. What I am not sure of is whether using two SVS 2000 or two SVS 1000 speakers would have given the same results. In my case I really had no choice because of the lack of room.

AWESOME---- this subwoofer I would definitely recommend to anyone.

It will surprise you. It hits hard. Im very pleased.
