While there are certainly a plethora of different speakers and subwoofer brands on the audio industry market, none have ever managed to do quite what SVS has done. Even when first coming on the scene, SVS was drawing attention to themselves.
At that time it was primarily due to their crazy and outlandish-looking sub-designs. Some of their first subs came out looking like giant 4ft tall 20-inch diameter tubes that were wrapped in black fabric.
These designs, while certainly “odd”, allowed the company to put almost all of its attention and resources into sound quality as well as each respective sub’s drivers and amps.
As a result, even if they weren’t the prettiest to look at, an SVS subwoofer was able to produce some incredibly deep bass sounds while not forcing the customer to pay nearly as much as the competition.
After they were bought out in 2011, there was a lot of speculation on what direction the company would take.
Would they keep their crazy-looking subwoofer design while also ensuring the quality stayed the same, or would they go a bit more mainstream?
When the dust settled, the new SVS brand managed to successfully thread the needle. Not only did they manage to keep the same value for each of their subs (in many cases expanding out even further), but they also did this in a design that customers were more conventionally used to and accepting of.
Now, SVS has produced over a dozen different designs and models for their subwoofers, ranging in size and scale.
They have some of the more “standard” sub-designs that everyone knows and loves as well as the more high-end designs that are more aligned with their original cylindrical appearance.
Below, we will break down and compare many of SVS’ different best subwoofer types, ranging from those in the one through four-thousand series as well as others, like those apart of the 16 Ultra series.
By the end of this overview, you should not only be a mini expert on all things SVS, but you should have the perfect idea about what will go best for your home theater system, studio workspace, or at your next musical performance.
SVS Subwoofer: Ported Vs Sealed
As you read through the different subs on this list, you’ll note that there are at least two different model types that exist in each series.
While there are a few different options we’ll go over in a bit, the two most prominent are the ported and sealed subwoofers.
Ported subwoofers are subs that have an exit passageway for air to push out of the sub as the driver is moving. This results in a louder sound, though potentially unfocused and at reduced sound quality.
This is even more apparent if you place your sub too close to a wall or enclosure, as the air being pushed out can’t adequately escape, reducing the sound volume and quality greatly.
Sealed subwoofer cabinets, on the other hand, are (as the name implies) completely sealed off and have no ports. Instead, these subs raise the internal temperature of the sub to dissipate the trapped air.
They are much more intensive than the ported option and can provide a bass response that is faster and more tuneful. They can’t get to the same volume level as the ported and generally require more energy to operate.
Still, if you’re a fan of sound quality over sound abundance, you’ll want to keep this distinction in mind as you go over these different models.
Another important distinction is the pricing. You’ll note that ports generally sell for higher than sealed. This is due to their larger cabinet space as well as the fact that they are generally going to be louder in comparison.
Ultimately, it all boils down to what your main speakers are like and deciding how much SPL you can reasonably handle. Sealed subs focus on sound accuracy whereas ported subs focus on giving you the most intensity possible.
1000 Pro-Series Subs
The first of the SVS subwoofer series, the 1000 Pro series is essentially where any new person should at least check out before expanding to any of the other series options later on.
While not quite as robust or feature-packed as the others on this list, the 1000 Pro series acts as a perfect introduction to what SVS has to offer and why their subwoofers are so much more powerful than others on the market.
There are two models here with the 1000 Pro series, the ported and sealed version. Both of these have been given a 12-inch long-throw driver while also hosting a high-precision tuned overhung motor configuration.
The models also come with a Sledge 325W Class-D amp, both capable of putting out 820W of peak power, with 325W of continuous RMS.
They also have rudimentary access to the SVS subwoofer app on the app store. While not as extensive as other models, later on, the app allows users to control the volume as well as set up customized tuning options while also opting for several custom presets optimized for different audio system settings (watching a movie, playing video games, listening to music, etc.).
Size & Appearance
Physically, both subwoofer models are largely cubic, though the SB-1000 is almost exactly a cube (measuring out to be about 13 inches) while the PB-1000 is much larger. This subwoofer is about 15 inches wider while also being 19 inches deeper.
The SB-1000 comes in one of three finished designs. The ash black color is the standard universal look, though it can also be in piano gloss black or white at a $100 upcharge.
Frequency
In terms of the frequency range, they are reported to have incredible accuracy and control while sitting just below the 20 Hz mark.
Others on this list can go lower, with some impressive SPL levels. For those on a budget or looking for an introductory subwoofer setup, there’s a lot to like with the PB-1000.
Pricing
Definitely meant for those just starting, both are fairly reasonable in their price, with the SB-1000 sub costing between $600 and $700.
The PB-1000, on the other hand, sits at nearly $800 and is a perfect option for those that are willing to invest and get two for their home setups.
The Verdict
I won’t lie to you here. As great as the 1000 Pro series is, it’s definitely meant as the “introductory” version of the real SVS subwoofers.
A lot is going on here that’s great, but you should really only find yourself on this side of things if you’re dealing with a bit of a tighter budget or have a very small space for listening to music. Otherwise, I’d suggest checking out the 2000 Pro series and seeing what they’ve got going on and why they’re so different.
2000 Pro-Series Subs
At first glance, it may seem a bit odd why many of the 2000 Pro models are so much more expensive than their 1000 model counterparts.
The SB-2000, for example, is nearly twice the price point as the SB-1000 despite both having a similar cabinet and woofer size. It’s only as you take a deeper look into what makes the 2000 Pro series what it is that you realize that its subs are worth every penny (and then some!).
A key example of this is that very same woofer size comparison we just made. Both, the SB-1000 and SB-2000 use a 12-inch woofer. The difference is that the SVS brand worked diligently to make a woofer that was specifically made for the 2000 Pro series.
From the magnet structure to the cone, wiring, voice coil, and even basket, the woofer used for the SB-2000 are almost unrecognizable compared to the one for the SB-1000, the only thing they have in common, ironically enough, being that they’re both 12 inches in diameter.
The 2000 Pro series has three different models, all of which leverage this enhanced woofer design and makeup. The first two are the expected sealed and ported models, the SB-2000 and the PB-2000.
The third is something of a throwback to the original SVS sub, also known as the PC-2000 Pro. This ported sub shares many of the OG SVS sub designs, appearing cylindrical rather than a more box-like shape like the others here.
All of the models use the Sledge 550W amplifier power and can produce roughly 1500W of power at peak power, while around 550W RMS.
This is much more impressive when compared to the 1000 Pro’s MOSFET amp, which gave less power and wasn’t quite as close to the SVS’ higher-end Ultra 16 series models.
Size & Appearance
Physically, the 2000 Pro-series subs are reasonably large without getting too heavy. The SB-2000 is a 15-inch cube that sits right at 50 lbs and is available in either a black ash or gloss black color. For those that want something louder and with more intensity, the PB-2000 is nearly two feet tall, with a 20-inch width and a 19-inch depth, weighing 64 lbs.
The sub has two large ports, ensuring that there is more than enough access for air to escape the larger cabinet. It’s only available in the black ash color, which could be disappointing for some.
The PC-2000 acts as a more slender and easier-to-manage version of the PB-2000, with a 17-inch width alongside a 34-inch length.
It’s able to share a lot of the ported sub’s sound and intensity while also harkening back to the old-school SVS design.
Frequency
The 2000 Pro series is quite capable when it comes to reasonably-priced subs. We’ve already gone over the size and power output of the different models, however, the frequency range is really where things pick up the pace.
The SB-2000 is able to reach frequencies as low as 17 Hz and can produce 121 dB of SPL at 30 Hz. For reference, that’s enough sound pressure to match a Boeing 747 right as it is taking off. Suffice it to say, that’s pretty darn loud, and keep in mind this is supposed to be the quiet one!
The PB-2000 makes it clear that it’s even more impressive than its sealed cousin. Here, the subwoofer model can reach 16 Hz bass while able to hit 128.3 dB at 30 Hz.
This is more than enough SPL to have your legs chattering more than a bit just from being exposed to the sound when dealing with special effects. Like the SB-2000 (at a much greater level), you’re going to be exposed to anything and everything when it comes to these bad boys.
By using the SVS app, the 2000 Pro series subs can have their output, phase, frequency, and low pass tweaked and adjusted in whatever way works best for you.
This can include some of the different preset options, parametric eq, as well as room gain options. On top of that, you have the option for variable low-pass slopes that range between 6 dB to 24 dB per octave. This makes them great for blending into most 2-channel audio equipment applications
The PC and PB options also come with plugs for their ports, allowing you to fine-tune the sound setup even more so.
Pricing
The 2000 Pro series is a step up in price compared to the 1000 Pro series.
However, with all the inclusions and differences added, it’s clear that these prices are more than fair, even potentially being a bit undersold when you think about it.
Both, the PB-2000 as well as the PC-2000 are similarly priced at just under $1,100 while the SB-2000 can range between $900 and $1,000 depending on if you decided to have the gloss black design.
The Verdict
These offer a ton of incredible options that simply aren’t available with the cheaper options. I’m personally partial to the 3000 Pro series (as we’ll soon touch on) but I’ve got to say that the 2000 Pro series is the “real” first step any audio equipment enthusiasts should take.
3000 Pro-Series Subs
The 3000 Pro series is a great “upper-middle class” option for most people. It’s not going to hit quite as high as some of the more extravagant entries on this list, however, the series is also capable of some pretty impressive low-end bass sounds.
The series comes with three separate models to choose from. There is the standard ported and sealed option (PB-3000 & SB-3000) as well as a new micro-sized ported model.
All use a more advanced version of the 2000 Pro Series setup while building even more on top of it, including the introduction of a 13-inch high excursion woofer, as well as a flat-edge wound voice coil, meant to greatly reduce overall mass while also improving the driver’s efficiency.
While we’ll get into the full frequency schematics in a bit, it should be emphasized just how impressive these three models are in terms of just how much power they can pump out.
The PB-3000 has a solid continuous 800W RMS and can reach upwards of 2,500W when pushed to its limit.
Considering this is meant to be the middle of the SVS series pack, with the 4000 and Ultra 16 series going even higher, yet it can probably result in a good number of noise complaints filed against you at full crank should be evidence enough that these are some impressive subwoofers.
The 3000 Micro subwoofer may seem like it’s going to be something small and compact, and to a certain extent, it is. However, it’s pretty much “small and compact” in the same way that a tree is small and compact to a mountain. Here, the sub doesn’t skimp on the power output or sound quality, still very much able to hit 800W RMS along with a 2,500W peak power through the use of a Sledge STA-800D2 power amp, an amp literally made to handle smaller subwoofers.
Rather than using one 13-inch woofer, the Micro instead uses two eight-inch woofers that sit on either side of the cabinet, both of which are specifically tuned for the Micro’s setup.
Size & Appearance
As mentioned earlier, the 3000 Pro series uses a 13-inch woofer to get it going. The SB-3000, houses that power in as compact a size as possible, coming out to be a 15-inch cube that weighs just under 55 lbs. It makes a point of accompanying its high-performance driver with a cabinet that is both dense as well as solid.
The PB-3000 is a bit less complete cube, instead having a larger cabinet size. Here, the subwoofer is around 22 inches tall with an 18-inch width and a 26-inch depth. This makes it certainly on the larger side of subs, weighing in at right around 84 lbs.
The 3000 Micro sub comes as the clear baby of the group, making it a perfect inclusion for most smaller homes and studio setups.
It has an 11-inch cube cabinet that houses its dual 8-inch woofers. As you can see, it’s half the size of the PB-3000 and several inches smaller than the SB-3000.
And to add a nice little cherry on it, the 3000 Micro weighs just around 22.5 lbs, making it a very easy-to-move and manage sub that doesn’t need two extra people to help lug it around.
Frequency Range
Hoping into the frequency range conversation, the 3000 series has some pretty impressive depths it can hit. Obviously, there is going to be some greater range with the ported option, however, even the SB-3000 can get down to the 18 Hz level, pushing out 127 dB at 30 Hz.
Meanwhile, the PB-3000 is pretty aggressive, able to hit as low as 16 Hz, and able to pump 133 dB of SPL at 30 Hz.
The Micro isn’t able to hit quite as low as the others, but it’s also not nearly as powerful, large, or as expensive. It’s meant to be a “micro” version of the PB-3000, ideally set for smaller spaces as the tiny cube that makes the whole room shake a bit. And shake it does!
Again, you’re not quite hitting the 16 and 18 Hz levels, but you’re easily treading into the low 20-23Hz range, something many mid and upper-mid subs can’t quite hit.
Pricing
The 3000 Pro series is very competitively priced in their lineup. While I love everything that later subs offer, those in the 3000 series just seem the most accessible for everyone with a reasonable budget.
The 3000 Micro sub is the most affordable, costing just under $900.
Next is the SB-3000, which ranges between $1,100 and $1,200 depending on if you’re willing to get the gloss black design over the standard black ash. The PB-3000 only comes in black ash, meaning that it’s set at a cool $1,600.
The Verdict
The 3000 Pro Series has some seriously awesome subwoofer options to play with, all at super competitive prices.
Overall, while the 1000 and 2000 Pro series are more affordable, and the 4000 and 16 Ultra series are more capable, the 3000 Pro series somehow manages to bridge both points the best.
As with the 2000 Pro series, the 3000 Pro series follows a similar layout with the SVS app, offering a ton of variety and tuning options directly from your phone.
If you’re someone that wants a quality subwoofer setup for your home (and you’ve got the space to accommodate) the 3000 Pro is probably the best place to start.
4000 Pro-Series Subs
While there’s one more series after this, for most people, the 4000 Pro Series is the best of the best.
Not only are these truly insane in terms of size, capability, and power output, but there are three different options that all build on everything from the prior series while also taking a bit from what the 16 Ultra Series has in store (more on that later).
Each uses a giant-sized 13.5-inch woofer along with an edge wound voice coil. If you’re already curious about just how much this thing weighs, keep in mind that the woofer itself weighs more than many of the smaller subs offered on the market by other brands.
These babies ain’t small!
In terms of power production, all three of these models see a sizeable increase, going up 1200W of continuous RMS power and an eye-watering 4000W max power output. As with all of the other series models, the 4000 Pro Series’ subs use a fully discrete MOSFET output amp, the only difference being the amount of power applied here compared to the others.
An example of this is the inclusion of Active Power Factor Correction circuitry, which does things like surge suppression, line conditioning, as well as voltage regulation.
This lets your amps produce as much power as possible, regardless even of potential issues with the power line. Higher-end options like these also have ground isolation circuits, making it easy to prevent ground loops from occurring.
Also, at this level, you’ll want to strongly consider getting a dedicated circuit for your subs. Otherwise, the amount of power getting pulled could be too much if shared with a lot of other devices.
Size & Appearance
Now that we’ve got some of the technical aspects out of the way, there are three different models as part of the SVS 4000 Pro Series.
The smallest and least offensive of the bunch is the SB-4000. This is a sealed subwoofer, weighing around 102 lbs and 18 inches tall and 18 inches wide with a depth of 21 inches.
Outside of that, we get to the considerably larger and more striking ported options. The first of the two is the PB-4000, which is 157 lbs while being two feet tall, 20 inches wide, and having a 30-inch depth.
This is easily one of the largest subs on the market and definitely makes its presence known the moment you walk into the room.
The PC-4000 can hit the same levels of sound as the PB-4000 without being quite as large. It is a 16.5-inch cylinder that is 44 inches tall.
Obviously meant to appeal to OG SVS fans, the PC-4000 also produces a smaller size footprint than the PB-4000, making it potentially more appealing for those that don’t have a space large enough to justify its size.
The PC-4000, like the 2000, includes SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation, giving it a bit of uniqueness over the PB-4000.
Frequency Range
Getting into the frequency ranges for these three insane sub speakers, all of them have a 3 dB reduction compared to the 3000 Pro Series, with the sealed SB-4000 reaching as low as 19 Hz, the PB-4000 going to 13 Hz, and the PC-4000 hitting 15 Hz.
They also have pretty impressive outputs, with each hitting 30 Hz at 126.8 dB, 134.5 dB, and 131.1 dB levels respectively.
Pricing
As mentioned at the top, for the majority of people, the 4000 Pro Series is going to be the best of the best offer. They can transform just about any home they’re set in, having everything shake and shamble while still offering fast response and that pinpoint accuracy that you’d expect from SVS subs.
With that in mind, all of the subs, while not cheap, make a point of being competitively priced considering everything they can do.
The SB-4000 has a base price of around $1,800, while the PB-4000 has a base price of $2,300, and the PC-4000 is priced at a solid $2,200.
In addition to the base price, there are some add-ons available, including the option for a black ash or gloss black design. This ups price an extra $100, though you can offset that a bit by buying a pair, which saves you an extra $200.
The Verdict
If you’re serious about your listening experience, this is pretty much exactly what you need. The ported options both are able to essentially have your whole house start shaking, while the ported option hits your ears with easily some of the most accurate bass you’ve ever been exposed to.
Whether you opt for the sealed box design, cylinder, or ported option, know that you’re getting something that blows just about every competitor out of the water, even with their prices being so much higher than the SVS.
16 Ultra Series Subs
After the 4000 Pro-Series subs, there’s very little left to see. For most people, what those subwoofers offer is pretty much the highest in terms of cost and quality that they’re willing to experience.
For those that are willing to spend a bit more, however, we have the 16 Ultra Series, also known as “the last subs you’ll ever need.”
True to their name, the 16 Ultra Series uses 16-inch woofers alongside an 8-inch flat round voice coil.
With it, you’re going to be able to pull out well over 1500 watts at a continuous rollout, with an insane 5000W of power when pushed to their peak, essentially giving people the impression that a bomb just went off in your home.
Pulling from and expanding much of what made the 4000 series what it was, the 16 Ultra series comes with a heads-up display as well as the SVS app, with total control over the different EQ and tuning options.
Size & Appearance
From a physical standpoint, these subs come in with a pretty nice coat and finish, available in black oak or glossy black appearance.
They’re definitely on the heftier side of things, with the smallest of the bunch (the SB16 Ultra) weighing around 122 lbs and built like a 20-inch cube. Yeah, these are pretty great to pick up and drop off in virtually any space… provided you’ve got help to pick it up and drop it off.
The PB16 Ultra is an even bigger monster, weighing over 174 lbs and looking more like a mini fridge than an actual subwoofer speaker.
The subwoofer is around 25 inches tall with a 22-inch width and a 31-inch depth.
Frequency Range
In terms of the frequency range, both of these behemoths are pretty impressive. The SB16 can reach as low as 16 Hz while the PB16 can go even lower at 13 Hz.
The SB16 is able to push out around 130 dB at the 30 Hz mark whereas the PB16 can get around the 137 dB range, which is kind of insane when you really start to think about it.
Pricing
I’ll be honest, while I wouldn’t recommend these for everyone, if you’re serious about investing in your listening experience, it’s kind of hard to not at least have one of these two options on your ultimate wish list for consideration.
The big issue, I imagine, is going to be surrounding the price point. The SB16 is going to run you about $2,300 per subwoofer speaker while the PB16 is a bit more capable, costing around $2,900.
This may seem like a lot (and it is) however when you consider everything that SVS has put into this thing, it starts to look like a bit of a steal.
For example, there are mid-tier subwoofers from other brands that literally go for twice the SB16’s asking price. That is pretty crazy to think about.
The Verdict
As mentioned at top of this series, not everyone is going to be able to get the 16 Ultra subwoofers. And, to be fair, it would be boring if everyone did. Still, while I can understand the hesitation, that doesn’t mean you’re not going to miss out.
Both have been praised as some of the best subwoofers available in the world, with many citing them as truly the last subs you’ll ever get for your listening experience, whether that be for a live home theater setup or more for the audiophile’s private listening studio.
As an example of their impressive nature, the SB16 Ultra ended up winning a Class A recommendation from Stereophile Magazine, one of the leading magazine brands in the audio listening space.
If you want the best there is when it comes to fast response or pinpoint sound accuracy, you’ll want to check out the SB16 Ultra, the best option when it comes to home theaters or DJ booths.
On the other hand, for those that are looking to experience infrasonic levels of detail, you’ll instead find the PB16 Ultra to be the ideal choice for you. For those that want the best listening experience top to bottom, they’d consider getting two SB16s and setting them at 20 Hz before getting another set of PB16s and using them for the infrasonic frequencies.
SVS Subwoofers: Buyers Guide
While the original SVS brand started with only one real design model for their subwoofers, that all changed in 2011 when the company was brought under new management.
There, this new SVS team decided that, while the original design was iconic to a degree, it wasn’t very practical (or aesthetically pleasing) for most homes.
But they couldn’t “just” change the design on its own without doing something to justify the transition. This led to them creating five SVS principles that would be in place no matter what design they put together.
These are as follows:
1. Great Low-Frequency Extension
The first and most important factor that just about any subwoofer should have, all SVS subwoofers can hit some of the lowest sound frequencies of any subs out on the market.
2. Produce Frequencies At The Highest SPL
A much harder consideration than the first factor, all SVS-brand subwoofers are able to produce frequencies at the highest SPL (sound pressure levels). To do this, each of these subs must have a powerful driver as well as an amp while also having a cabinet design that best handles to air being produced.
A simple thing from one perspective but quite difficult from another, having an accurate bass means just that.
3. Accurate Bass
An accurate bass. In the majority of instances, the bass that you experience from most subwoofers on the market is less about accuracy and more about “boom” and “intensity”.
Here, the SVS company has made a point of ensuring that all of its products deliver accurate and breathtaking bass without needless shaking and trembling.
4. Speed Control
Something that all great subwoofers have in common, is being able to utilize speed and control as sound is coming is not an easy task. It’s not unfair to say that only the best of the best subs can perform this effectively.
This is due to the fact that music isn’t slow, and rarely gives you time to course-correct as sound is coming out.
SVS has made a point of allowing all of their subs to have this ability, meaning that you can find yourself enjoying the full effects of the powerful bass in one moment, only to experience its clarity and texture from an upright bass in the next.
5. Work Seamlessly With Full-Range Speakers
Lastly, all SVS subwoofers were charged to handle any and all gaps in the bottom octave of a full-range speaker. What’s more, it was charged to do this without ever expressly making itself known or drawing attention away from the speakers’ sound itself.
The above key factors and principles are what make SVS subwoofers so unique among the plethora of different brands out there.
Of course, these aren’t the only universal aspects that all SVS subs share. To ensure these factors are properly implemented, several mechanical inclusions are found in all SVS subwoofers.
These include the following:
Advanced DSP Controls
While available universally amongst SVS subs, each series set has varying degrees of controls implemented. For example, the 1000 Pro series is able to handle things at an impressive, though ultimately standard, level.
These subs have their controls set to the rear of the sub and include a phase control that continuously shifts and varies to allow for optimal matching for the speakers.
These DSP controls can be tweaked and played with entirely through the SVS app, offering even greater controls, working with every one of SVS’ product lineup.
Here, the app comes with three preset listening setups that range from very loud (think rock concert) and very soft (able to play without waking your baby). The app also comes with a set of low-pass filter adjustments as well as options for volume, polarity, room gain, phase, and many others.
The app is connected via Bluetooth and, when connected, will give you the best tuning options for that specific subwoofer type, making it very intuitive and easy to use.
Quality Well-Braced Cabinet Builds & Design
Lastly, in terms of the cabinet builds themselves, SVS has made a point of honoring its legacy by still making cabinet designs that draw everyone’s attention.
The only difference this time is that the cabinet designs are focused more on being as rigid and as solid as possible instead of just looking like long and tall cylinders.
This isn’t just to protect against damage, mind you. Subwoofers actually need a dense cabinet that can effectively push out sound if they want to produce that powerful yet accurate bass we all expect.
This can result in smaller subs weighing in at nearly 30 lbs while the more impressive and capable parts of the collection come in at around 175 lbs.
Dynamic Bass Drivers
Even if all subs have a bass driver, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good. SVS has made a point of outfitting all of their subs with a driver and voice coil that can move and shake enough to give you that punchy yet focused powerful bass.
Here, both the driver and the coil are on the larger side of things, with the voice coil sitting at eight inches in diameter.
Industry-Best Warranties
Another impressive inclusion found in all SVS subwoofers is that they have a full five-year warranty on the subwoofer itself, the sub’s driver, as well as the power amp.
This is significant since almost all of the other subwoofer brands only offer a five-year warranty for the driver, generally only giving the amps a one or two-year warranty.
Since this only goes for powered subs (with the amp already inside), if there are any problems after that two-year window, you’d have to essentially buy an entirely new subwoofer out of pocket.
Extremely Capable Subwoofer Amps
If you know anything about subs, you know that it’s only as good as the amp behind it. Amplifiers are the thing that moves your drivers with the most speed and accuracy.
It’s because of this importance that there are amps that are already installed in a sub and amps that are externally attached.
Here, almost all of SVS’ amps are Class-D rating, with even the starting options able to produce over 325W of continuous RMS power, while also being able to crank out over 800W of peak power and control volume for those brief moments you want to push everything out.
SVS Subwoofer Series: The Verdict
SVS, while not one of the oldest brands in the audio world, is certainly one of the more unique developments, and that includes their subwoofers as well.
Our SVS Subwoofer Editor pick is the SVS 1000.
Checking out this list once is great, but you’ll want to ideally run through it a few times so you can narrow down what it is you’re looking for in the best subwoofer and which of the different models best suits you and your listening preferences.
Gauge your budget, listening space, and how often you plan to move the subwoofer speaker before committing to any one decision.
Heck, if you’re someone looking for something more than a home theater system and want to move into the music production or DJ space, you may want to consider getting a second sub that’s more geared toward your music career.
