What customers say about "Size & Weight"

SVS PB-2000 12" 500-watt Powered Subwoofer (Single)

Nice looking, heavy and big - the real deal.
This subwoofer is a monster in sound and in size (it's HUGE) and I can't say enough wonderful things about it.
This thing is huge! Too big considering its performance.
The only downside may be its size, but with ported subwoofers, size matters.

SVS PB-1000 300 Watt DSP Controlled 10" Ported Subwoofer (Black Ash)

Great medium sized sub for a small room
Powerful and smooth. Rather large but I have enjoyed it very much.
Check the specs to make sure its physical size won't dominate your room
Really, its huge. The sound quality is very crisp, but the size really limited the placement options in my room.

What customers say about "Audio"

SVS PB-2000 12" 500-watt Powered Subwoofer (Single)

This sub woofer is amazing, i listen to a lot of bass heavy music so the upgrade from my 8 inch 100 watt Yamaha to this was much needed. this sub woofer can pump out super low frequencies with ease.
Its ability to switch frequencies on the fly is what differentiates it from other sub woofers on the market. when listening to heavy bass EDM such as G Jones, Tipper, or Bassnectar it performs wonderfully and can create massive sound pressure in my room with no problem
Good sub that delivers solid low frequencies.
Punchy, tight and accurate sound down to about 60hz, Significantly worse from there down.
The low frequency sound gets very muddy and sloppy at times with certain music. Especially with hip hop/trap/trance/deep house

SVS PB-1000 300 Watt DSP Controlled 10" Ported Subwoofer (Black Ash)

It delivers as much low frequency punch as I will ever need in my (1,500 cubic-foot) home theater room, and the detail is superb.
Nice detailed sound for a ported woofer and is very powerful. Perfect for a small to mid size theater.
The lower frequencies never sounded more natural in my 25X50 living room, and yes, powerful enough to be felt when called for
The low frequencies from it just did not cut it, I hate to say it but the lowly BIC actually did sound better and fuller.
Not the most powerful sub out there but for the budget it's really impressive.

What customers say about "Features"

SVS PB-2000 12" 500-watt Powered Subwoofer (Single)

Very articulate bass with excellent control and dynamics.
The oak finish also looks fantastic, so if aesthetics are a concern do not worry.
RCA input quit working after a few weeks.
The veneer finish is a little cheap, moderately easy to peel at the edges. Knicked the corner when carrying the sub into another room and it peeled back.

SVS PB-1000 300 Watt DSP Controlled 10" Ported Subwoofer (Black Ash)

The finish is beautiful! Well constructed and will look great anywhere.
For $500, I don't think you will find a sub-woofer with all the features this one offers. Take a look and see for yourself. This was more money that I had originally budgeted, but I am sooo happy that I went with SVS!
