SVS - 12" 550W Powered Subwoofer - Premium Black Ash

This sub really shines with music and is very competent at home theater. My room is small 22x16 so the 2000 pro is perfect. Sounds great watching all the 4K trailers on Apple TV. Especially the Transformer movies, MI movies and Gardians & X-men movies. My room rumbles distortion free. Blows away the Bose Lifestyle top of line. In fact different universe. As a musician I have very specific musical tastes. Here’s where 2000 Pro shines bright. Very clear powerful and precise. Diana Krall vocals never sound so deep and rich. King Crimson 3 drummer setup sounds like the drummers are in my living room and the clarity of Stanley Clarks bass on Romantic Warrior is stunning. Oh can’t forget the richness of John Myung bass and the power of Portnoys drums. To wrap this up if you listen to music absolutely get non ported sub for clarity punch and crispness if you love movies as well the pro 2000 is perfect , if you have a big space get the 3000 or 4000. If you watch MORE movies than music I’d probably get the SP version (ported). One thing for sure SVS subs are built incredibly well and sound amazing. I haven’t mentioned the APP which is seamless and works perfectly. If the app doesn’t connect for some reason just delete it and reinstall it works great and you adjust the settings from your listening position rather than getting up all the time to make adjustments. This sub really pound for pound beats subs costing twice as much! Also customer service is insane ! They engage they respond and stick by their products unconditionally!

This is the first SVS subwoofer that I’ve heard or owned. Initially I wanted to buy the sb3000 but it breaks the $1k price point and size I was looking for in my space. Decided to go with this one in piano gloss finish. Upon delivery and setup, I was very impressed with the finish and look of the subwoofer. I hooked it up and initially was NOT impressed with its sound...very underwhelming. I went through all the setting and played with them to see how it effected the sound to my liking..reversing polarity made a huge difference, lower crossover to 60hz and backing the db to -20 made it disappear within my stereo. Once I got it dialed in...I started hearing bass in music I didn’t even know was there. A good demo is Bad Blood by Taylor Swift, has some of the deepest bass and transitions I’ve heard, you can feel the bass and rippling effect of the low frequencies without any bloating or boom, it’s awesome. I really like the app control for quick tweaks to accommodate the material being played. What makes this model so great to me is the size, the price just under $1k and app control. If I was a movie buff I’d go with the ported version, but since I am strictly playing music, I wanted the tightest, quickest response, this sub delivers.

Received an old SVS 1000 sub with scratches all over it. I don’t understand how this even happens if there is ANY quality control. I’ve been a long time customer of Best Buy but they have really gone down hill lately and I’m not sure I can continue giving them my business. Now- trying to return this product they tell me I have to wait three days just to get a call from someone to see what they can do and from there it may take 2 weeks to get my money back! I was told not to take it to store because they’d turn me away? Really????

I bought 3 of these, a pair for my audio system (connected to the sub outputs on my integrated amp and using the subs' low-pass filters) and one for my 2.1 channel TV system (letting the receiver control the filtering). They provide quite a punch for the money. The app-based controls work well. I'm glad I waited until they trickled down to this level in the SVS lineup.

To give some background on my application of this sub. I wanted it to go with my two channel system. Basically my turntable/cd system which is only for listening to music. I liked the idea of the phone app that allows you to control the subwoofer parameters from your listening seat. No more sitting, listening, then getting up and making changes and repeat. Now you can listen and make changes on the fly. Very easy to use. App hooks up to the sub via bluetooth, no issues. So in all honesty I contacted SVS to discuss options with them, and based on my room and equipment(13x14 with 15 ft high vaulted ceilings) etc. they actually suggested this sub over the 3000. So i had some reward points that would cover a bit of this purchase and decided to give it a try. First day, i thought maybe this wasn't going to work. I was replacing a SONY sub with much less power, and this felt like maybe too much power to control and blend in with my system. I decided I was a bit tired and would try it out the next day. I did, and made a few adjustments with the app, and lo and behold this thing really started to floor me. Know that this sub has a ton of power and is really good at producing an even, non boomy, sub bass down to 18hz. So i don't use this like I'm running a night club. I use it to provide those frequencies my floor speakers can't and provide dimension and presence to the music I'm listening to. But make no mistake, even with this sub being used at those levels, it can rattle your house with the right frequencies. So i can only imagine if you turned it up how much bass you would get. I would say i have the volume/gain set on the presets to either -14, or -12 for the most part. I would say this was one of the best purchases I have made in terms of supplementing my audiophile itch, and it has been an amazing addition to my system. Whole heartedly recommend you add this to your system. I have a theater system as well and this will be an addition that will be made to that system in the future. I can only imagine how amazing it sounds using the LFE channel with my theater system. Five stars all the way.

had an older Velodyne which failed and when searching for replacement a lot of people suggested svs. I went with it and wow it performed better than the Velodyne in everyday. you will not regret buying it

This thing is pretty compact(for a home theater subwoofer, its narrower than my old Polk PSW10) but sounds amazing! Listening to Spider Man into the Spiderverse was a real treat, the sub-base was punchy and well defined. Highly recommended!

As good as all the reviews say it is. Gets low and the app is great for making adjustments on the fly.
