Great review Rob - no wasted space on that subwoofer. App control sounds really nice too.

I came across this channel by accident and really was surprised how good this gentleman presents in these videos personality and informational wise. I just subscribed.

Great review! I like to say the SB-3000 is about as much SPL as you can have in that compact of a package and the more rounded corners help give it a smaller look too! You're looking mighty buff btw!!

Cool vid, thanks. I think sealed helps with kick drum and bass accuracy.. my fave sub setup in early 2000s was my friend's cheap kicker (2)10s sealed, in stereo 50w ea from an alpine 4ch amp. My friend had no clue what he was doing and obviously used whatever equipment was laying around, but honestly Metallica never sounded better on anything else since. And Polk 4x6s. Go figure I still run Polk/kicker home or car. I wanna try svs at home.

Just ordered one up to match with my klipsch sevens for my 77 inch oled tv movies, games n music. Great review!

Nice review. I love my SVS SB16-Ultra. An amazing piece of equipment. 😎

Very astute review. I enjoyed it much

Thank you sir that was a great review very objective

Its an excellent sub, no words

Thanks for your input , Is two small sub SB 1000 subwoofer or one SB 3000 need it to fit inside a cabinet build.

Thanks!

Hi nice review..could you share your gain setting on AVR and sub itself

How loud to u need to turn on the AVR to make the woofer dance? I usually go no more than -20db

Can you compare the SB-3000 to the PB-3000. the PB is ported and and SB is not. what's your thoughts on each how they compare?

Adding a subwoofer to my Definitive Technology bp9060 system. Trying a Definitive technology descend DN12. Any feedback you can provide for this sub? And do you think I should consider a SVS 3000 or even the 4000 series? Thank you

Hello Sir, for 12ft/13ft, Ceiling 12ft room can single unit or svsPB3000 or svsPB2000 will do the needful of i should stick to svsPB1000. OR i should have dual subwoofer any of these ??

Thank You!!!

What do you think this SB3000 compare to Airmotive SR11? I’m think of add a second sub, I have other brand sub, should I keep the same brand or really does not matter for subwoofer? Thanks

I’m torn between this sub or the sb4000 room is 15x15 with openings to the hallway and kitchen I’d eventually get duals or either but probably not right away already have a ultra center and towers

Olá. Vídeo muito top, bem explicado. Uma ajuda por favor: Estou pensando em comprar o svs SB3000, vcs acham que vai ficar bem com meu sistema de klipsch RF82ll , numa sala que mede 30m2? Receiver yamaha 3080 Klipsch RF82ll Central e surround klipsch linha RF.

Awesome video ! I’m debating getting 2 of these do think it would sound good in a room that’s 14x12x8

Great review! I'm stuck on the SB for its smaller size but like the PB. The PB would be more work to find a spot because of the size. Would there be a big difference going with the SB instead of the PB? Is one more better than the other that you would actually notice it?

I almost bought this sub, but I got a employee discount on a Kef Kube 12b saved me $250. It also goes with my Kef Q150 speakers.

I bought two of these subs because of the many good reviews, these were my first sealed ones and I was super exited about them.. These sound and look great and the app is nice. Just one huge minus, once power is connected the subs start to make a pretty loud 'hissing' sound, loud enough to disturb during silent scenes in a movie and impossible to keep the power on these as always on unless you want to hear that hissing all day. Even contacted SVS about it and they said that it's completely normal, a feature. Wouldn't expect these kind of features in this price range. So keep this in mind if choosing this sub

Can you review Cerwin Vega SL-15 and the Monolith powered subwoofer 15 inch

What about the HSU ULS15 compared to this?

Thankyou for the review! I'm disappointed that you felt the SVS SB3000 was more geared for the video/home theater sources. I'm not at all into home theater or really any kind of video related genres. However, as a very long-time audiophile, I tend to place my financial resources toward analog music reproductions. I'm a dedicated and firm believer in the McIntosh power amps, integrated amps and preamps, (not so much into receivers), and also a Mac power amp owner. I'm not afraid of the high-dollar systems out there but to quote Thomas Reid; "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link". There's no point in spending $2K or $3K on a subwoofer if you don't have a comparable category and level of quality in the remaining speakers and main components. The home I own is a townhouse, and about 14 years old. It's not configured to handle the correct speaker placement best applied for more advanced and expensive stereo systems. I hope to buy another home that offers a greater degree of sound isolation and larger rooms, which would then make it a more practical place for higher-grade stereo systems. My present system is far above average compared to most people in the middle, to middle-high, income bracket. It's certainly above average to those who are casual, non-discriminate listeners of music, (and those who feel nothing can beat their $200 to $800 earbuds, lol). Yet, even though I can't justify the purchase of an SVS SB4000 or even an SB3000 right now, I found that I could improve my speaker system with a second subwoofer. When you brought up adding a second SB3000 to the system I think that was a great bit of advice! The capability for setting the EQ on the SVS Subs is a great feature. My present speaker system is comprised of 6 Klipsch speakers and a single Klipsch 12", sealed, powered subwoofer. At a cost of only about $400, the Klipsch sub wouldn't even come remotely close to most any subwoofers in the SVS line let alone the SVS SB3000 you've just reviewed. Of the people I personally know who are audiophiles, several own a single subwoofer in their system and feel that a single sub is all they need. I was never really convinced of that but I learned to accept it. But among my system's components is an ADC Sound Shaper Three Graphic & Parametric EQ, (dubbed "ParaGraphic"). The EQ allowed for a more even dispersion on the way the single sub behaved but only to a degree. That EQ was the reason that I said "I learned to accept it". A friend of mine brought his subwoofer to my home not long ago, which happened to be the same exact Klipsch subwoofer model I have in my system. We were curious to see if the second sub would improve the unevenness of the sound from a single subwoofer. Well, of course it did. I wasn't really surprised by the results but then I reconfigured my EQ, which controls 12 octaves per channel (and 3 center-points per octave/ per channel, in the parametric scale). When I reconfigured my EQ to handle the second sub it really surprised me! I wasn't expecting the near seamless consistency of the sound from the subwoofers regardless of wherever the listener went in the room. OK, so my point here is that if you can afford a second subwoofer at the quality level of the SB3000, you should definitely make it happen! Perhaps more importantly, is that you should do everything you can to match the second one with the same make & model you already own. In other words, the second sub need to be the same exact make & model and not just one with the same output specs. If the second sub is different, (even if it's a high-quality), the sound will not even out and after all, that's the point of having the second sub, right? Oh sure, you may get lucky and dial in the second sub just right for a particular kind of music but chances are you'll have to fool with the dials again for a different music category or even worse, change the settings on a per-song bases! Anyway, that's a "FWIW" contribution and thanks again for the review! Rich

I just want a big boi sub at this point. my 7 inch Soundbar sub is already pounding the walls hard.

If I was to use this sub for my Yamaha HS 7'S studio monitors to mix music how would I connect the monitors and the sub? I use XLR connection but I see the back of the SVS and there is only line in/out.

Questions what woulb be the draw back of going with 2 sb 3000 and 2 pb 3000 for a home theater?

Since you guys have review both the Sb3000 and Bravis 12D at the $1000, which did you prefer and why? That’s the most I want to spend on my 2.1 bedroom system for mainly movies but some music as well. Enjoyed both reviews thanks

Anyone else watch this video on their own SB3000? Mine just arrived today - using it in a 2.1 system with SVS's ultra bookshelf speakers on my PC.

Two guys tech would u rather go with two sb3000 micro or 2 sb3000 which would output louder n cleaner

How about uaing this for my 22feet x 22feet room

Thank you. I have an SVS SB 3000. My room is approximately 9x11 ft. I have one seating position which is directly in front of the TV. Do you think the best position for the SB 3000 may be directly in the center underneath my TV?

Will it be overkill if I include this with my DefTech BP9000 series?

Hi, how does this compare to Rel HT 1205 and HT 1508 for movies. Thank you

Great review! But it brings up an interesting question... would you recommend spending $1,000 on a subwoofer like this SVS, and getting a less-expensive receiver like the Yamaha TSR-700? OR would you suggest getting two less expensive subwoofers like the klipsch R-12SW and upgrading your receiver into the thousand-dollar range? Thoughts???

Hi, thanks for the great review. Please may I ask you: Using the svs app , what is the best "HOME/ VOLUME setting for movies using the slider? I've set for music -10 to avoid the sb3000 drowning other speakers. And set for movies -5 to feel any impactful scenes. So what is your movies watching preset then?

Just pick this up at Best Buy, $1200, it rattles when hitting 30 Hz or below, going to take it back and exchange this weekend hopefully does not do the same

I purchased one SVS SB3000 piano black a day ago, and I'm ready right now, to get the second one, except....I really don't know how it would go over with wife.

Placing the subs symmetrically either side of the screen and symmetrically with relation to the main speakers is not a good way to evaluate the benefits of two subwoofers. It is quite easy to fool around with the simulation in REW with your own room and relevant spec'ed speakers, crossovers etc and get a precise idea how the acoustics work.

What about the hissing noise?

Thank you and your son!

I always heard the sb is better fo rmusic and good for movies and pb is better for movies but still good for music . you are the first one that said sb better for movies than music

What bookshelf speaker stands are those?

Which would you recommend for a HT room sized 12ft (L) x 11ft (W) x 9.5ft (H), SB3000 or PB2000 Pro ? Thank you

Buddy tell me when the room is quiet you hear a high-frequency squeak from the amplifier in the back? My 3000 squeaks and I can hear it at a distance of 7-8 ft

Hi can some give me advice please. I’m confused should I buy svs PB16 ultra. Or should I get 2 subwoofers. I won’t able to afford 2 svs PB16 ultra thank you.

Great sub

I hope you're able to review a KEF KF92 subwoofer one day.

SVS SB3000 pro vs JL audio dominion D110... Which one better?

Great video and channel. Would you guys be willing to do a tutorial video on REW? I'm a total noob. lol

I wznt one

Hey quick question can yu use a subwoofer in car without amp???

I’d really like to know which subs you think are better for music. I have the SVS SB1000 Pro. I’m thinking the 3000 is quicker and sounds cleaner.

So you have two of the SB300 are you still happy with them? Are they the only subs in your system? I have two of them on the way and just seeing if the “Honey Moon” period is over and you are still happy with them?

Do you have a link for film decor behind you?

My 15 inch sub can't rumble in my chest, I just can't reach those beautiful soft deep bass even though it's tuned to 30hz but I don't feel rumbling

I just got the PB2000 Pro. I love the sound, but it’s a little to large for my space, I kind of regretted not getting the SB3000 instead. I still have time to return it, but would be a pain. I don’t know what the sound difference would be though

why not show measurements and demo it?

God we wish we can get this sub for 1000 dollar ( 932 euro ) here you pay close to 1500 euro here in Holland.

Is that val kilmers son?

Dual subs are better than one and one of their thoughts for subs are better than two.. you should learn to surround yourself with concrete cracking and move your property a few inches in any One direction everywhere all the time.. you don't want your property to be lopsided when the base construction stops do you??? Base your place up why did the neighborhood my neighbors are so pissed.. in the only way they're going to stop it is if they buy my house

For my room size, the sb3000 really is an over kill. All the walls are literally shaking and considering that I've got 3 set of neighbours to deal with (flat underneath my wooden floor, also two homes to either side of my walls). I just need to be a bit careful because these neighbours are very respectful.

So 2 SB1000 or 1 of these

So 2 SB2000 or 1 of these

This sub costs £1500 in the UK....

Hi. U look like uv lost weight .
