Dual SVS PB16 Subwoofers vs Godzilla King of the Monsters

Godzilla King of the Monsters provided plenty of LFE to give my Dual SVS PB16 subwoofers a workout but they handled it very well. The Atmos track in Godzilla is one of the best that I have heard to date.

The sound engineer/mixer responsible should be interviewed. I believe they deserve more recognition. Maybe then, most movies/games will care about good mix and quality.

[@Youthman]

For sure

[@slmorlan44]

I worked on this movie and Witt is an awesome sound mixer. He’s also a great guy! Not my favorite movie but by far some of the nicest Actors and crew I’ve worked with in my career.

Fantastic bass. My PSA V1500DF paired with my dual 12” inch BOSS setup was rocking and shaking. Wife and kids loved it!!!

[@budgetaudiophile6048]

Dude, this movie! It's so ABSURD! It has no business being that wild! I just did a walk through video tour of my theater's new setup, I hope everyone enjoys it. This movie is what inspired me to get out there and make another walkthrough because people have to understand just how much air was moving around! HAHA! Love your videos man, can't wait until the next one!

I'm picking that up this week. Getting excited to get my other subs down here to try this out on them! Thanks for the suggestion Michael

[@Youthman]

Dude your subs are going to love this movie. I found myself smiling a lot during the movie. Wait till you hear Godzilla’s heartbeat.

[@sudd3660]

there is a point in godzilla where they are underwater looking out the window, godzilla coming close to the submarine. and some enormous bass follows.

[@Youthman]

YES! I forgot to mention the heartbeat. That was incredibly done

[@hakansalihoglu]

I have been doing crazy research for a few weeks and I wanted to ask you because I couldn't find the answers anywhere. What should the subwoofer and speaker balance be? First of all, I looked at ready systems. I saw that in ready systems, the total rms power is as much as the subwoofer, for example, I saw systems where 1000w rms speakers are 1000w rms subwoofers, and they are between 20% and 60%. For example, in the logitech z5500, the subwoofer is equal to 59.3 of the speaker power. When we look at the Samsung q990d model, the subwoofer ratio is 43.01%. What should this subwoofer ratio be for a great movie experience? My second question is about the number of subwoofers? I have seen 1, 2 and 4 users, what is the ideal one? By the way, I have a living room between 40 - 50 m². I will not make a cinema room, I will watch with a 98 inch television.

[@mrpeanut307]

[@Youthman]

Your PB16’s will love it

[@johnmastroleo995]

Youthman I have a calibration question. After you run full Adyssey calibration for all your speakers and 2 subwoofers I know you go back and check the levels with your Radio Shack sound meter to verify all speakers are at 75 DB. My question is when you go back and check the sub levels I know you have to raise the bass level of the subs because Adyssey always sets them too low. So when you adjust each of the subs to 75 DB and verify that all other speakers are at 75 DB do you go back and reduce each of the subs 1.5 DB to offset the combined subs 3 DB increase?

[@busht4169]

Youthman!! Holy cow my dude!!! I have 2 r-115sw and love them, but you are in a whole other league. Cheers!

[@caesarc.4079]

Ok, this is not the best movie but this is how an ATMOS movie should sound. Once again Warner Bros. has delivered a superb 10/10 reference audio track. My dual PB3000 were rocking so hard that the USGS was picking seismic activity 😂

[@morbus74]

How did you like that "heart beat" scene right after that submarine came up to the surface and Godzilla right after it...? I think Godzilla has a quite "convincing" heart beat 😁

[@Youthman]

Oh! I completely forgot about that. That was awesome!

[@commanderrussels2612]

I had the HGS18, I still have it in storage. It was amazing during the day but I would still bottom it out a lot. I also had trouble with the amp in it at one point. It was really great for its time, but, the subs today are worlds better. I feel like speakers haven't advanced as much as subs in that time period. You can still have a great speaker from 15 years ago and it is great, a great sub from 15 years ago is kinda a bummer now. I guess just the drivers progressed and the DSP amps made such a difference.

[@Youthman]

I agree. My LaScalas were made in 1980 and sound absolutely phenomenal.

[@lawrence09151]

Enjoyed the video. Is your audyssey set to reference or flat? Also do you have the subs boosted in AVR or are they still at -10?

[@Youthman]

This was with the Emotiva RMC-1. It doesn’t have room correction yet as they have not implemented Dirac. Subs were still at -10 in RMC-1. No boost was added.

Man thats awesome. i have dual pb2000 in a smaller room just saw that movie in 4k atoms it sounded crazy . and u have dual 16 wow

If you haven't watched it yet, check out the movie Hunter Killer. It literally caused my PB16 to chuff a few times. I'm not saying I didn't have it up maybe a LITTLE too loud but that movie puts a hurting on the PB16.

I haven’t watched that. Beginning of Edge of Tomorrow will produce chuffing as well

[@maheeinfy13]

For movies like War of the worlds, 4k disc LFE is lower than what's on the regulat bluray disc, which is weird. If sound engineers continue doing this, this adds another layer of confusion as to what disc format to purchase

[@Weecka2007]

Godzilla 2 was really good for bass. But for surround in the first godzilla movie there's a scene where military is transporting the nuke by train and then the monster walks past them. It has insane surround and quite descent low end.

Thank you Jacob. My front row is 9’ from a 150” diagonal 2.35:1 screen. With one sub I get a nasty null. With both it pretty much fixes the null. Check this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4nJeWyNfZ2MrZo

You talked about your diy acoustic panels...Any advice for the bass traps? I've heard 2in thick, 4lb density panels set in the corners floor to ceiling are good but wanted to ask the man that's made some.

[@Youthman]

I have used bass traps since I first got my theater. About a month ago I got curious and took a measurement using REW With and without the bass traps and saw no difference.

[@vdochev]

I just completed my 5.1 home theater sound system with an Infinity Primus 8 SW and can't wait to play this! Please note that I'm on a very tight budget and my room is very small. Even this SW is too big for me.

Very cool. Be easy on the volume. It’s pretty brutal if your sub isn’t up for it

[@vdochev]

@@Youthman Thanks! Since you're not a Godzilla fan, I'll cut you some slack :) but these types of movies always have a cheesy plot. The main focus is the monsters. Think of it as a big budget B-movie.

Hey Youthman, quick question. Did you upgrade your SR8012 for the RMC-1 and X11? How big is the difference vs just having th SR8012? I'm currently in the stages of adding the XPA3-GEN3 to my SR8012 for the fronts for now. I just sent out my SR8012 for repair as you know and hopefully this add-on to it will help reduce the stress on it.

[@Youthman]

No I still have my SR8012 and am considering either the AV7705 or possibly the 8805. I included the equipment in the video since I often get asked what I have connected during a video. I am undecided which amp I will go with. Both the X11 and Emotiva XPA-11 sound great.

[@Gregturner1970]

I have a question for you on your Marantz receiver or your Denon receiver when you press the option button on the remote control And you got to channel adjustment how did you have your channel adjusted all the way up mid way or in the negatives no one never talked about this and thank you

[@johnmastroleo995]

After you do your Adyssey Room Correction unless you go into Option and manually change Channel Level Adjust those settings will remain at 0. If you want to view the Audyssey Calibration levels results you can do It 2 ways. Go to Settings and select Manual Setup or go to Audyssey Setup and select Check Results. Again this will show you what Audyssey Room Correction did. You cannot make changes here. To make changes you select Settings then go to Manual Setup. In Manuel Setup you can change anything you want to change. Regarding your question using the Option/Channsl Level Adjust. This is designed to adjust each inputs separately if you so desire. You could change all speaker outputs completely for each input if you so desire and it will retain the custom settings you make for that input. It does not change the main settings. Another words if you view the settings in the Manual Setup the settings will reflect what Audyssey Room Correction made or if you made manual adjustments those adjustments. It's a great feature.

[@Gregturner1970]

Thank you

Hey Youthman. How is the perforated screen performing against all this air displacement generated by the dual subs ? What's the space you have between the subs and the screen and does the screen shake on low frequency hits ?

Yes the screen shakes but can only be seen when the lights are off. Distance to screen is maybe 9”. Check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKWvqGyXZsqsbNU I had different subs but same still applies

[@davidwiley6165]

I rented this 4K atmos movie for Red Box myself last Sunday. My old ported Valodyne cct100 had a good workout during this movie, but could hear it struggle, so I had to turn it down some with the unwanted port noise. I’m looking to update my subwoofers to SVS because of what I’ve seen on your channel. I have been doing a lot of research and found SVS may be the best for the dollar since I don’t have a big budget. I have been thinking about the SVS sb1000 sealed vs SVS pb1000 ported and not sure which ones to get. I’ve been building my theater piece by piece and the subs are the last to be upgraded. What are your thoughts sir?

[@Youthman]

For movies I recommend ported subs as they tend to have more output and that extra grunt for those big explosions and deep extensions.

[@davidwiley6165]

I also like how SVS will honor the discount for the 2nd subwoofer if bought with in one year. Now my decision is to buy the pb 1000 or 2000 for a few hundred more for each. I’m sure the 2000 will have more output with the 12” and more power.

[@davidwiley6165]

Have you compared the svs ps1000 to the svs pb2000 and if you have how much harder does the ps 2000 hit you in the chest?

[@nordbergxx2392]

Youthman, can you see if you can review: Rythmik fv25hp or the g25hp. They use servos and heard they are way better than pb16’s. Both are around the same price so curious to see the difference.

[@Youthman]

I emailed them a few weeks ago but haven’t heard from them.

[@CarpanaFilms]

You should definitely give the first film, Godzilla (2014), a watch. While it's "only" a DTS MA 7.1 track, the LFE on that is arguably even better than this one. Key moments are the first MUTO escape, the Hawaii attack, the wooden bridge scene (if you know, you know), and the opening nuke. One of the most tactile experiences I've ever had watching a film. It also helps that it's a much better told story with more realistic characters and a Jaws-like tone.

[@ns7568]

Agree Godzilla 2014 had terrific LFE & surround effects added to the intense background score..its the best among all the monsterverse movies...godzilla vs kong being the worst

[@luckymckay]

I have a pb1000 in my living room and a HSU VTF3 MK5 15" sub in my theater room. Honestly I would go for a second pb1000 over a single hsu vtf3 mk5. The pb1000 is a phenomenal sub for its size and price. Output wise the hsu is the clear winner. But.... the pb1000 is such a clean sounding sub with very accurate and low distortion bass that punches way above it's weight imo. Just my thoughts

[@Youthman]

I haven’t heard the PB1000 so I cannot comment on how it performs with the lower end PSA or HSU subs.

[@JC-bl9bo]

@@luckymckay thanks man, it certainly would be cheaper this route. That PB1000 is a pretty dang good for the price. It surprises me all the time. A second would even things out in this room. I get a discount if I buy again from SVS too. Thanks again for the help.

Any sealed subwoofer, Rythmik (maximum integration), REL Acoustics (maximum integration), PSA(bass in your face, just like SVS)JL Audio(bass in your face), JTR captivator(bass in your face)etc etc.. Select any you need, either maximum audiophile grade integration or bass in your face Subwoofer 👍

hi youthman, i have a jl e112 currently. Thinking of getting the pb16 next year. what is your take on it?

[@Youthman]

I have a pair of them. Absolutely love them.

[@Bryan-hd7nm]

Wow!! I just bought a pb16 ultra. What volume I should have the sub in when I start my calibration? -10?

[@Youthman]

I typically run mine between -15dN and -10dB

[@Bryan-hd7nm]

Youthman thanks! Love your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@velocci6666]

Was the yellow cloth moving cause if the driver excursion or the 3 port holes?

[@Youthman]

Mostly the air exiting the port holes but likely a little of both.

Did You Have a 4K Blu-Ray from Redbox? I'm still waiting for mine from Amazon shipped on the 28th.

Yes I rented it as I stated in the video

Youthman, I notice your room is shaped like a rectangle, have you ever had anyone talk to you about having a dome style roof in more of a square room?

[@Youthman]

No I have not had that conversation before

[@kuriakos36]

Hey buddy can i ask you something when you watch movie with true hd on your receiver you put true hd format or true hd + dsur or something else??? I would like to tell me the best format 😋

[@Youthman]

If your source (4K player etc) is set to bitstream, your AVR will display whatever format it is being sent. If you set your source to PCM, the data is encoded at the source so your AVR will display PCM.

Hi so have you desided wich mode you like the best and why..? Standard vs Extended..?

[@Youthman]

I prefer standard. It has plenty of output and digs deep enough.

[@kenzo06ful]

@@Youthman Wath volume do you have on your subbs and avr..?

[@steeveabitbol2466]

I currently have 1 PB-16ultra, do you recommend a second one? that worth it??

[@Youthman]

“Is it worth it” is always subjective. It depends on your budget, disposable income, your needs etc. I prefer running duals myself. More headroom, more output, better seat to seat response. Lots of benefits with duals

[@redrooster1908]

I have ass shakers under the sofa in the theater room. It helps the bass a lot. When you feel the bass on your bottom, it seems like you got big big bass, even without cranking up the volume.

Quick question, do surge protector /line conditioner suppress powered subs? I have heard so much in not sure. I have both of mine hooked up to one

[@Youthman]

I have all of my gear going into the Panamax. It certainly hasn’t changed the sound. Not sure how good of a surge protector it is

[@gibluap]

I am using the Panamax m5300. Sometimes I think my ears deceive me perhaps you can relate well you're so involved in being critical of your system anytime you make a change and listen carefully and thank all of a sudden it has degraded? This morning I hopped on and put in Tron legacy and went to a particular scene and was immediately reminded that my system is just fine

[@kikkauazza]

Hey youthman.... question , would two 10 inch subs be better than 1 12” sub ? I’m looking at an entry level sub like the r10sw

[@Youthman]

Two 10" will have more surface area than a single 12" but if you are talking home theater, I would go with a 12" any day. Once I upgraded to a 15", I have never found a 12", much less a 10" that met my needs.

[@kikkauazza]

Youthman ok thx so much for replying! Love the channel by the way . Keep up with the great content!

[@Youthman]

Thank you kindly

[@kmvuniverse]

Pb16 and pb4000 which is better? Am.kinda confused here which to purchase,been watching a lot of pb16 and 4000 videos

[@FSXgta]

Is that even a question? If you can afford the PB16 Ultra I think you should go for it

[@Youthman]

PB16 is a better sub

[@kmvuniverse]

Youthman ok thanks youthman

[@Huntmx24]

I just ordered two Dayton ultimax 18”. I am going to build two Miny Marty’s to lay down to the sides in front of my room. Just need to pick up the amp and build the boxes. Looking at the behringer nx6000d. Can’t wait to hear what they sound like. Coming from two 12” BIC America f12 woofers these should be amazing!

[@Youthman]

You should be in for a huge upgrade

[@Huntmx24]

Youthman yea I bet. Just trying to make sure I have everything figured out since I have never used a pro amp

[@Huntmx24]

What amp circuit is your av equipment connected too? I have a Denon 4500h with a small amp for the rear atmos ceilings. And a Dayton sa230 amp for 4 shakers in the seats And if I add a nx6000d i am looking into if it will be fine. I have a dedicated 15amp circuit running to this outlet.

[@Youthman]

Ben Anderson I have a dedicated 20amp to the electronics and subs

[@Huntmx24]

Youthman I should have done a 20. But my panel is directly above my media cabinet so if needed it will be easy to drop another circuit down or up wire size. From reading on avs forums I think I will be fine.

[@Scarczar]

What’s your opinion on REL HT 1508 Predator subwoofer?

[@Youthman]

I have only heard one REL sub (Dual 212SE).

[@italiang8470]

Forgive my ignorance, but if I go to a 2 sub-woofer setup, do they have to be indentical subs? thanks

No they do not. I would not recommend mixing sealed with ported subs due to cancellation issues

You now have me running through my Blu-ray collection with something you said, the pointless LFE, over the past 6 to 12 months I recall saying that to the wife part way through movies. “I don’t get that pointless bass, what was that for?” I’ve said it a lot and can totally relate there. There is literally nothing going on, on the screen at the time. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻

EXACTLY how I felt.
