That's a big ass living room deserving a big ass sub.

I think the SB2000Pro is the best value in the line.

Thanks and welcome.

Is it really "priceless" I have a hard budget of $500 for a sub and a 13x20x8 room and want a sealed sub for my 5.1.2. The SB1000 is $399 SB2000 $499 and SB1000 pro w/ app is $499. SB1000 is more bass than I probably need. I run Audyssey room correction and run my sub flat to 80hz. Is the pro really worth it? For the same price I can get the sb2000 which would have loads of head room for the rare lower hz movie experiences

@@bryanguest2807 It's been a year and I'm curious to hear what you decided to do. If it were me I'd simply go for the SB2000 (non-Pro) and call it a day. The RSL Speedwoofer is another one I'd love to hear in this price range.

@@hondaphan4172 I got a PB1000 non pro model. Its all the bass I need and more. Just hope the plate amp holds up.

@@bryanguest2807 Thanks for the quick reply. In this wide-open large garage the PB1000 sounded MUCH better than the SB 1000 so I have little doubt that it sounds great in your room.

I'm sure they sound sweeeet. Even through youtube it's clear the 2000 series is a notch above the 1000 series. Dual SB 2000's in a typical living room/HT would make most enthusiasts very happy.

Thanks for the Like! 🙂 I have some questions that I hope you perhaps could answer. My curent speakers sound a bit muddy: the amp is a bit weak and the speakers don't have enough breathing room by the walls for the bass. Besides that I want a deeper bass extention, I also want to solve the problem with the sound of the speakers, and I want to place an SB 1000 Pro next to each speaker for that. I have a NAD C165BEE + C275BEE combination; a stereo set. Is there a way to connect these subwoofers in a way that they take away the bass from the speakers, so they can focus more on the mids and highs? Or is turning down the bass all the way the only option? Also: it's in a room of about 16.5 by 16.5 foot. Will 2 100 Pro's be sufficient for that? I'm not an extreme bass-head but do enjoy good deep tones in music and like a reasonable amount of support in the deeper tones in movies without the entire room exploding in thunder. For instance: moments like "Godzilla (2014) - Nuclear Train Attack Scene" should sound really convincing.

Lol what is it with this community and hating your wife, is it just boomer humor or what? "Hey guys I have a 400lb subwoofer box dangling from my ceiling and my wife is concerned about the newborn.." ~gEt RiD oF tHe WiFe

​@@happydogg312 more worried about "Dog acceptance factor"

@@bryanguest2807 ok zoomer. Since you clearly don't have much life experience yet, let me explain: for wifes ingeneral the interior is far more important than sound quality. Speakers must be as small as possible and the color and shape/style must fit with the closets and the couch etc, or otherwise must be as invisible as possible. Subwoofers should also be as small as possible and preferrably be hidden behind the couch or some obscure corner where a potted plant can be placed on top of it, preferrably with a cloth over it so you don't see it. My wife fortunately isn't that bad; we have very good floor standing speakers (although my old ones that had a superior sound she did hate) and with much luck I was able to get a pre- and power amplifier under the television. She hadn't realised that the power amp also belonged to the set, otherwise I probably had to look for some low-powered compact amp that absolutely wouldn't be able to power these speakers enough. She is not too happy with the idea of a subwoofer, but one tiny one is acceptable. I do want to have 2: one next to each speaker. So, zoomer, does this answer your question?

Smh

80hz is the reccomended setting by thx and if you use the lfe phono connection it is all set,..... uing the other phono you can adjust the values most bookshelves will do 60hz so i set the lowest for my rears and sides and center to 60hz, the main l&r to full range, and the subs to start to come in at 80hz, so there is small overlap so i can level match them.... Hope that helps 🙂👍🏻

I would want to step up to the PB-2000 Pro. That is a significant upgrade over those other two.

Asks about nike trainers in a sub video........

Depends on size of room. If you also want MUSIC, probably SB2000 or 3000. It's tighter than ported. SVS gives you no risk 45 days to try them out. SB2000 can work form many people. Did you end up buying one?

No.... 2x1,000 is far better, try to get ported aswell if you can fit the size.....

They are P5.

Awesome! Thank you.

I think 2 SBs would be much better that a single PB.

Why the big oof?

@@demonreturns4336 wasn’t in the budget but I went for it anyway

PSB P5

If there's a rattle then something is loose either inside or around the subwoofer. I would start with making sure everything is properly tightened.

There is quite a substantial difference. The non-pro is no longer made. I believe its a different driver and amp, same cabinet.

I've never seen those. I just googled it. I've never heard or come across them.

They should cope as long as its not too humid, if it can be for electronics than sealed is the safeist bet, buy your amp for your speakers is just as likely to suffer electronically, so if thats ok, so should your subs be ok...... notice anyy rust or dampness in our amplifier?.........

There is a pretty massive difference between the 1000 and 2000 series. I'd rather have 2 SB2000.

Especialy if you have alot of seating there...... many people

Well said

Two sb's will have excellent sound quality and fill if positioned on opposing walls. The pb2000 will ultimately hit lower subsonic bass if thats what you are really interested in.

I just bought one too. It's scheduled to arrive soon. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I look forward to it fulfilling my hopes. $$ is a large concern for me, and from what I've been able to discover the 10s MKII offers the best performance in it's price range. Been waiting nearly a month. Since my old sub died I've developed an all new appreciation of how much they contribute to my home theater system.

@@mousec2600 how did you like it? Have you tested it against other subs?

@@beakiller25 I'm thrilled with it's performance. It's goes lower than the bottom firing 12" it's taking the place of, and is more musically satisfying as well. It's the only sub I have, so I haven't been able to compare it with anything other than my memories of it's predecessor. One I'd been wholly satisfied with for 15 years. The RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII out performs it across the board. It fills my house with richer, more powerful, bass than my old sub ever did, even though It had a bigger driver and a higher price tag. I'm extremely pleased so far. I've heard RSL is preparing to offer a 12" model, so that might be something worth looking into. I can't imagine a larger driver, and perhaps a higher wattage amplifier, would make it anything but even more fantastic. I believe I made a very good choice when I decided to give this sub a try, and fully intend to partner it with the new 12" version when it arrives, and I'm able to afford it. The strength of the 10S MKII has awakened my hunger for even more BOOM!

Yes, Alpha P5. I think they are great. You'd need an amp for them. They are passive.

@@happydogg312 No I did not listen to the PB 2000 pro. The 225 watt (RMS) difference between the 1000 pro (325 rms) and the 2000 pro (550 rms) just just did not seem to be a enough of a difference for me. With the PB 3000 I got 800 RMS, a 475 watt increase from the PB 1000 pro. Plus the edge wound split wind voice coil the 3000 series employs also attracted me to the PB 3000.

Forget it, PB-2000 (non pro) is the way to go!

@@csabas46 that one was 7 months ago and i do have a sb1000 and i cant even put them above 50% gain without oversaturating my room. pretty happy i did not go with the pb. wouldnt even know where to put it space wise

@@MaybeTiberius my PB-2000 arrived a week ago, still in the break-in process, but it rocks. Gain knobs on the mixer at 1pm, gain on the sub at 50%, volume level on the laptop at 80%. Shakes the room :)

I like SB.

Okay, thanks for the reply. I just got one today but it's making a slight rattle sound. I sold my 1000 to get this 2000 and it didn't have that problem at all. I'm so confused, any idea what might be happening here? The speaker is certainly not blown as it sounds good at lower volumes but when pushed a bit the rattle sound begins. I'd certainly appreciate any insight on the matter. P.s. Keep up the reviews 👍

Hello, is the PB1000 Pro much better than its older non Pro version? I have a SB2000 for movies and i dont know why but i dont really like it. I think i should have gone with a ported one.

@@exovitae The PB1000 Pro has a bit more output but the biggest differense is the driver size. PB1000 Pro has an 12 inch element and it gives more rumble and more punch. I bought the svs SB1000 Pro and i didint like it so i went and bought the PB1000.

@@exovitae If you have the money go with the PB2000 Pro. It does not have much of mid bass but it has a lot of deep rumbling bass.

@@wk5863 hey, thanks for your opinion, i dont have space for the PB2000!

I would guess it would be similar.

I think the biggest delta in the SVS line is from 1000 to 2000. I would choose the SB2000.

But dual pb 1000 would be even better?

This is the explanation from PSB: "A new ¾” (19mm) tweeter is ferrofluid cooled and features a Neodymium magnet for high sensitivity and power handling. A wave guide on the front of the tweeter helps match the response of the tweeter near the crossover point with the woofer for a seamless transition."

Sorry, I didn’t read further enough down the page when they explained the specs. I bought a pair of Bic America v62si about 30 years ago, sound great and the company is still around. Happy New Year.

More is not always better, but if you are good with room eq. you might be able to make it work. I don't see sealed and ported being the problem. The bigger issue would the room in general. I'd probably spend the money on room treatments if you haven't done that yet.

2x 3,000 would be better than 4x 2,000, but you would still get your nulls, i had tried 1 in each corner, but they clashed against eachother, so the room treetment advice is right on the nail there....... i do get 1 place where the bass is lower then the rest of the room, some advise to movw the subs or their angle, but screens on the walls, and triangular bass traps sorted out the reflections, carpeting or rugs if you have wooden floorboards, you can aslo hang, screens from the sealing as a last resort, buy thats only needed for super large rooms like hallways and 12 foot ceilings..... Goof luck sorting it all out, utube has some great vids that helped me.... 👍🏻🙂

2 is always better than 1.

Yes..... 1 is bad, 2 is good, you can return your choice within 45 days..... choose the 2x 1,000's and save up in the year, and just pay the difference for 2x 2,000's ...... thats the smart move, or even 2x 3,000's 🙂

@@pwnz27 well, that certainly isn’t the case. I am comparing two different subs. Placement matters too.

@@mohammedisaa9952 I am actually faced with something like two smaller SBs or one Pb1000 based on space. It isn’t apples to apples.

Typically two Subwoofers are better than one.

Personally, I almost always prefer a sealed sub to a ported, so if I can have a better driver, more powerful amp in a sealed box, I'd chose that.

Yes, definitely.

2 subs will generally help with reduction of dead spots in the room.

@ObsessedGarage 2000 are kinda pricey for a pair but I don't want 2 pb-1000 either so I'm torn

I'd rather start with the 2000. Then maybe add another later.

Here's the link to the SVS collection on our site: www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/svs

I was at King of Prussia store then Sandlake Road at Sound Advice in Orlando.

I've never listened to those.

I still think the SB2000 is the better choice for that.

I've never really liked that idea. It seems to me that you'd be better buying a sealed sub from the start.

@@ObsessedGarage can you explain why you don't like it? Is it the idea of it that you dont like or that you have tried it and it doesn't make a difference ?

Not basing this on actual experience, but intuitively, a sub that was designed from the beginning as sealed should perform better than one that was designed as ported and has a plug put into those ports.

? .... you will be putting a 1,500 watt sub in a 3 by 4 (foot or meter) room..... gawd, you will be deaf very quickly, i cant even imadgin what it will sound like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good luck....

@@mohammedisaa99523 x 4 meter is reasonable tho

I think the 2000 is a significant upgrade, so even with bass heavy stuff, I'd choose the SB2000PRO.

Thanks for asking what I was going to ask as well. Thanks to both

Always a pair of ported

Yes, that is one of the biggest differences between the SB2000 and PB1000.

@@ObsessedGarage what do you think about psb subwoofers have good sound

Yeah, I think it's a pretty significant upgrade. I'd do it.

You are correct.

I’d choose the SB2000 Pro. It’s a pretty significant upgrade in driver and amplifier.

@@ObsessedGarage appreciate the response! Liked subbed

​@@dubl_afpv6270Most important thing is buy 2!

Yes, the Pro is much better and worth the extra cost.

I find the PSBs to sound good on pretty much anything.

@@ObsessedGarageIt looks like the PSB AM 5’s have the ferro-fluid cooled tweeter but the P5’s do not. So those may be the AM 5’s.

The ported still, the higher powered 2000 wont project or sound as good as the 1000 ported, listen to this demo...... the sealed 2000 vs the ported 1000

I think he actually picks the SB-2000 as the best "bang for buck" performer.
