I just ordered a pair of 3000's. Reviews like yours helped me make the call. I had just purchased the 2000 pro's and they were so awesome that I knew the 3000's would be what I need. The 2000's were meant to be a place holder since I couldn't afford what I wanted. Thing is they were so amazing that I realized I was closer than I thought and if I upgraded now I could have the sound I needed. First time I upgrade because something was awesome...lol. I always upgrade when something seems lacking, this time it was because something was so good, I got inspired to go higher. Great review, thanks for painting the picture of these. Can't wait til the 29th when mine arrive. I got the isolation feet too for them so that just kicked it over the top for me. Thanks again!!

I have been wanting to upgrade my PB-2000 for some time now, and had been waiting (and frankly holding out) for the PB-3000 to come out to exercise my upgrade option. Since I still feel that the pricing missed the mark, I opted to sell instead, and went with the HSU VTF-15H MK2. I really enjoy your channel, and would love to see you able to get some affiliations or review deals set up with other brands, as I feel it's mostly become an SVS channel now (understandable from a cost standpoint). It'd really be great if you were able to check out, review, measure, and compare some models from HSU, PSA, RSL, or Rythmik in addition to the SVS line. I love the SVS products, and the sound, build quality, and customer service are all top notch, but I feel it now comes with too high of a premium (or in this case, retail location markup)... and I just couldn't bring myself to overpay (just my opinion) out of a sense of brand loyalty. It's good to know that brand loyalists will still be getting an awesome product though. Keep up the good content! P.S. that RV is AWESOME!!! lol

I'd say definitely. Prioritize dual matching subwoofers. Rather than 1 PB-3000, dual PB-2000 Pro's would be better overall. That said, dual PB-3000's are my favorite subwoofers all around. Only dual PB-16 Ultras outshine them audibly, at a cost, size, and weight premium. The difference in technology for subwoofers in recent years is substantial. Definitely a deeper sound. I'm an affiliate, so if you follow my link in the video description, I could potentially see a commission, but my recommendation would be the same regardless. Once you have them, my Bass Hack Video Series will help you get the most out of them. Particularly the crossover hack, distance hack, gain hack, and dialing in subwoofers by ear. The difference, especially after following my hack recommendations, should be nothing short undeniable and substantial.
@thomasnew86065 жыл бұрын
remember MOST people plug these into a shared 15amp circuit (15amp x 120 volts = 1800 watts) so when you add a sub that has a 1000+ watt amplifier that is sharing with your TV (say taking 2 or 3 amps), your receiver (taking 2 or 3 amps realistically if using the 80hz crossover), your other accessories (2 amps), your lighting, (1 - 2 amps) So in other words. A regular 15 amp circuit wont power all of our big toys. Having at least 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits is ideal to let these subwoofers really play. That is why some of these "smaller" subs really keep up with the bigger ones. The bigger subs are getting starved for power
@Subwoofer1015 жыл бұрын
Ah, the magic of Class D amplification and strong capacitance! The RV Project allows me to test this very theory. 15 amp, 20 amp, 30 amp, and 50 amp power connections make zero difference. 2,000 watts to nearly 10,000 available watts, no change. I could comfortably drive dual PB 16 Ultras on a 10 amp circuit. That amp can also compensate for low voltages. It's pretty impressive. To be clear, I was absolutely concerned about the this as well, so I'm not picking on you. Very efficient amps, thankfully!
@thomasnew86065 жыл бұрын
@@Subwoofer101 Honestly you are not correct by saying power connections (I assume you mean the amperage/power available) make zero difference. Yes a Class D amp is efficient and yes some capacitance built into the amp will help with the large bass peaks. How do you think the amp "compensates" for low voltages??? It does this by less power output of course. Power (watts) = amp x volts For sustained max performance, you have to have the power available to sustain the output. Many other electronics do not have any capacitance so they will pull the power no matter what. You can't ignore simple physics You should buy a "kill a watt" meter to see how much power the subs, or anything are really taking.
@Subwoofer1015 жыл бұрын
I have a Kill O Watt meter. Did you think I was pulling it out of my nethers? My Denon X6200, 65" LED 4K TV, dual PB-16 Ultras, and the LED lights behind the TV easily consumed LESS than 500 watts *combined*, while bumping at a pretty good volume, according to the meter. All in all, a pretty efficient setup. My 42 inch plasma TV, in STARK contrast, consumes over 250 watts all by itself! Pretty lousy. I'm aware of this because I'm sizing a solar system for the RV, so I'm aware of voltage/amperage/wattage relationships, as well of the limitations of my flooded lead acid batteries, the losses during conversion to AC, losses from higher consumption, heat and cold, wire size limitations, c ratings, and the importance of Pure Sine AC power as opposed to modified sine. I'm not an electrician, but I'm not going to be fooled into looking for a bucket of ohms anytime soon either. In referring to the amp connections, I'm talking about different power supplies for the RV. Plugged into a shared 15 amp power outlet, then a dedicated and shared 20, then a dedicated 30, and all the way to a dedicated 50 amp power outlet (basically dual 50 amp 120 volt circuits), there is no appreciable/audible difference with the amount of power available with the X6200 and dual PB-3000's. With the system bumping at a serious level, there was easily less than a 1 volt drop according to the meter, when plugged into a shared 20 amp circuit, which also runs our coffee pot, lights, ice maker, and refrigerator in the house. Voltage drop had less to do with the theater than it did with other appliances in use, and the cord length. I won't run at a voltage under 114. Normally 118 in that case. I can, however, run both 15,000 btu air conditioners, a dehumidifier, microwave, coffee maker, my home theater, and still have my wife use her blow dryer on a 50 amp plug. Basically 10,000-12,000 available watts, give or take. It's a 50 amp, 240 volt plug, split to 120 volts. We did this just to see if we could trip a breaker. No luck doing so. With everything else off, and a MASSIVE 10,000+ watts available to run just the home theater alone, there is no audible difference running dual PB-3000's, the Denon, and TV versus a shared 15 amp plug, assuming the same voltage at the surge protector plug that powers the theater. I'm not ignoring physics. If you have a Class A 1,500 watt amp with no capacitance, then yes, you are absolutely correct, you need to consider dedicated circuits. You basically have a space heater that also happens to power your speakers. For the SVS Class D amps, with enough capacitance to keep playing a while (3-15 seconds) when unplugged, and so long as you aren't seeing significant voltage sag from other loads or otherwise, no need for a dedicated circuit, in my experience with these subs. But of course, consult an electrician, and maybe even your doctor just to be safe... =)

@Subwoofer1017 күн бұрын
Yes, you get a 6 dB gain or so, which adds to the headroom, but more importantly, it reduces the standing wave effect, making it so you can hear ALL of the bass. If you listen to a frequency sweep, with *any* single, as the bass goes deeper, you will hear it get louder and quieter as the frequency changes. The bass just goes in and out. Not even at all. With matching ported dual deep bass subwoofers, you hear the bass evenly, getting louder as you go deeper, as low as you can hear. Definitely a departure from the norm, most subwoofers get quieter as they go deeper, falling off pretty hard, giving you a "shallow" sound. In your situation, absolutely I would choose dual PB-3000's, over a single PB 16 Ultra. I did exactly that, I turned off the PB 16 Ultras in favor of dual PB-2000 originals. When I finally received the second PB 16 Ultra, THAT is when I finally understood how awesome they are. The PB 3000's are in the same ballpark, but easier to move around, less expensive, and the kick is insane. My first living room was 24x24, and I had gobs of headroom left. If you follow my affiliate link, I would appreciate it, and then doing all of my bass hacks to get the most out of them. Crossover hack, distance hack, adjusting subs by ear, and the SVS App Hack. You'll want your gain in the -13 to -16 range on the subs. I'm running these currently and they are epic. They will get a little more potent and louder as they break in, so you might need to turn them down by a dB or so once that happens. Let me know how it goes!

@Subwoofer1018 ай бұрын
The room size is less important than most people think. I've run those subs in a 24x24 living room, and in the motorhome. They did amazingly in both scenarios, so you're golden. Follow my Bass Hack Video Series, especially the Crossover Hack, the Gain Hack, Distance Hack, adjusting subwoofers by ear, and you will get more performance than you would if you went "by the book". The only thing I would recommend specifically is textiles textiles textiles. Throw rug, curtains even if you don't have windows, anything fabric to reduce the sound reflections. Concrete produces a lot of echoes and ringing. You'll want to minimize that, but that's completely independent of subwoofer recommendation, it's something you'll want to do regardless. With dual PB-3000's, configured the way I recommend, you should be REALLY happy. Make sure that you're getting full lossless audio from your Blu-ray player (Dolby Atmos Hack), then play "The Accountant", and the shootout in the driveway toward the end of the movie will show you exactly why those subs are one of my favorites. If you follow my SVS affiliate link in the video description before you order them, I'd appreciate it, but no biggie if you can't. The only subs I like better are the PB-16 Ultras, but the difference in cost, size, and definitely weight, the PB-3000 gets really close to that level of performance and explosiveness, for quite a bit less. For example, in my living room now, the PB-3000's would be my choice, but only because of the size and weight of the PB-16 Ultras. Oddly, the fireplace makes anything "large" look out of place. I could've also shoehorned the PB-16 Ultras into the motorhome like I did with the PB-4000's, but it really got in the way of the walkway. Sounded awesome, but not sustainable. The PB-3000's were epic, and they fit a LOT better. I ended up going with the PB-2000 Pro's, simply because it made sense to be on their side, and have a flat grill. It's also more attainable, and I think that's better for demos. So each sub has certain use cases, but the PB-3000's are my favorite "premium" subs, because what they deliver with the size and cost is just crazy good, and it has a lot to do with the split wound voice coil. Sorry, kind of went down the rabbit hole there... But to answer your question, yes dual PB-3000's will work out quite well in your room.

Yes, if you don't notice the difference, I have no business running this channel!! It will be deeper, and more kick. Because of how room correction adjusts deep bass subwoofers, you're going to want to run more gain than room correction would suggest. You'll want to go through my Bass hack series, so you can optimize everything. Mixing subs is not optimal, and while you'll hear quite a difference between the subs, you won't be able to truly hear everything that the PB-3000 is capable of until you have two of them. I went through the same thing mixing and matching with the PB-16 Ultra. Honestly, I was relatively underwhelmed until the second one came in. When I had two of them, and no other subwoofer in the mix, it's the best bass I've ever heard. The PB-3000's/PB-4000's are nearly identical in explosiveness, which makes the PB-3000 a pretty awesome subwoofer. The only subwoofer I've heard that clearly outperforms it is the PB-16 Ultra. You can run them both together, and it will be better than a single, but it's handicapping the PB-3000. Once you get the second one, you'll see what I mean. Quite a step up.

SVS sent me an email about the PB 16 Ultra that had just dropped! They wanted to know if I wanted to do a trade in? The only problem is that the PB 16 cost 3500 euro each in Germany???!!!!

@Subwoofer10110 ай бұрын
Room size is not really an issue, it's the standing wave effect. No matter what, with a single subwoofer, you're missing a lot of low end due to dead spots. Duals correct this, and sound better for a number of reasons. Dual PB-2000 Pro's all day, and I LOVE the PB-3000, but you can trade up to a pair of those within a year, if you go factory direct. My affiliate links in the video description are factory direct, and I can earn a commission if you follow them before purchasing, but only if you're in the USA. If you are out of the country, 1 year trade up doesn't usually apply unless specifically stated where you are buying. I would choose dual PB-2000 Pro's over a single PB-16 Ultra, which I did because I only had 1 PB-16 Ultra at first. I shut the PB-16 Ultra off and kept the dual PB-2000's until I was able to have matching PB-16 Ultras. Duals make THAT big of a difference. And mixing the 3 made it worse. Matching is important.

Usually 90-120 hz depending on the speaker. Always set to Small, tower speakers 90 hz, satellite/elevations 120 hz. Still getting response to the speaker under the crossover point, but it's a hard cutoff for the subs, and I believe in feeding my subs as much as possible. 90 hertz is always a minimum for me, unless I'm trying to trim bass in a very specific way. Always set the crossover for the highest value, effectively disabling the crossover on the sub itself, aka high pass filter off.

Try to get the level up to -18 or so on the PB-3000's, they kick serious butt. Check out the Distance Hack and the Crossover Hack, it will maximize the bass even further.

For the 4000 series the PB is 26.7% more and for the 16 Ultra the PB is 25% more. When you do the math for the 3000 series the PB is 40% more, WOW! The PB should have been between $1,150 to $1,300.

Great review. I'll bet the reason the PB-3000 feels like it's "punching above its weight" is actually DUE to its incredible mid-bass performance, Ed Mullen from SVS posted on AVS recently that while the PB-3000 has about 3dB more output than the PB-2000 at 20Hz, which would put it right between the PB-2000 and PB-4000, he said it has (quoting Ed) " a bunch more than that in the 40-80 Hz octave - I was shocked (and I'm jaded and hard to impress) at the output of the PB-3000 during CEA-2010 testing against the PB-2000. That new driver has a low moving mass and is very efficient and the BL curve looks great from the split-wind coil and associated motor changes." This could account for your "chest massage" and "impact" comment, as I tend to associate those terms with the "chest slam" you get from the midbass frequencies (~ 50 -120Hz range).My SubMersives have this in spades too. I think SVS hit it outta the park with this one!

In practice, are these SVS subs hard on your home's electrical circuits? I'm assuming the 16 Ultra is a different story, but the 1000 - 4000 line, can these be plugged into the wall like normal without expecting lights to flicker?
@Subwoofer101 Жыл бұрын
ALL of them are extremely efficient. Class D amplification is impressive. Even the PB-16 Ultra consumes less power over time than my TV. There is good capacitance, meaning the power is stored, unlike Class A amplifiers, where they consume a lot more power constantly. I've seen people install individual circuits for PB-16 Ultras, but in my opinion, it's completely unnecessary. The nature of sound is impulsive. So it's not a constant draw like an air conditioner would be. The SVS amplifiers are also like power conditioners, with the ability to run on lower voltage (weaker) circuits. I've had to build a sophisticated power system for the home theater in the motorhome, so I'm intimately familiar with the amount of power consumed. The ENTIRE theater setup, including 65" TV, Denon AVR, Fire Stick, Blu Ray player, and 2 PB-2000 Pro's, all running together consume between 200 and 450 watts in total, and when it gets close to 350 watts, things are *REALLY* rocking. It's pretty crazy how efficient they are, especially for the energy they put into the room.

SVS subs are game changers. The most important thing I can say about them is to turn them up. When your AVR has you set the level for your subwoofers, it always sets them too low. Most AVRs are flawed, in that they're just looking for the peak decibel output, but on an SVS subwoofer, that peak output is always much lower in frequency than the vast majority of subwoofers. That's where my bass hack series, and my Top 16 AVR settings really make a difference. Glad you found the channel!

One issue people can have is the deep sound of the SVS subs don't put out the same relative midbass as every other sub does at the same dial position. The simple solution is to match the levels of your previous sub in the 50-80 hertz range, which should result in a lot more bottom end response, while still delivering the same midbass performance you're used to. Being really loud in the midbass and quiet in the deep bass is something I consider a flaw. SVS subs are ruler flat, which means that with room gain, they get a little louder as they go deeper. A very satisfying sound in my opinion. Basically, turn up the SVS subs a little more than you would with the previous subs. You can also use the PEQ function in the SVS app to shape the curve to your liking with the PB-3000's.

I tell you this: I started with a single PB-2000 which I was more then satisfied with. I was planning on going dual but decided to try the PB-3000 due to reviews. I pulled the trigger. Just got the 3000 on Thursday. After dialing it in I couldn’t believe what a difference from the 2000. To me, the new 3000 not only has way more impact but a smoother response. The 2000 was to “boomy” (not as precise) I had my mind set to send the 3000 back and keep my 2000 and possibly going dual. I packaged the 3000 and swapped to my 2000. After dialing it in... I’m KEEPING the 3000. I’m sold. I can’t fathom how 2 PB-3000’s would be! 1 is Awesome but eventually I will go dual. If you have any doubt jumping from the PB-2000 to the 3000, in my opinion, worth it.

Right on! I think the boomy sensation you got from your single PB-2000 would be pretty much resolved if you had two of them. Still one of my favorite subs. Two PB-2000's would sound better than a single PB-3000, but dual PB-3000's are undeniably better than dual PB-2000's. You can try mixing the PB-2000 and PB-3000, just keep in mind that it won't be as good as two PB-3000's. The bass won't be as "perfect", and probably sound more like dual PB-2000's than dual PB-3000's, but should still be better than a single. It's a weird thing, but until I had dual PB-16 Ultras, I didn't really understand what they were actually capable of. See my upcoming video today for more explanation. And yes, dual PB-3000's are truly impressive! Very explosive, but still soft when the bass is soft. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing!

I make the videos that I want to make, and I don't make videos that I don't believe in. Nor do I promote every SVS product. I could really boost my commissions by promoting sealed subs, SVS sealed outsells ported 2-1. I could potentially double my commissions. Yet I don't. I have a sound that I prefer, and this sub embodies that sound perfectly. If it was another brand giving me this type of performance, I would be just as excited about it. Most manufacturers have different priorities though. If I were to beat them up on video for not delivering the performance I personally look for, that would be seen as bias too. Either way, people will make their assumptions. I asked SVS to start an affiliate program because they had the sound I was looking for with their ported subs. I have other brands on the list, but I do prefer SVS the most so far, for a number of definible, measurable reasons. One thing I won't do is be artificially excited about other brands or products for the sake of appearances. That's just as bad, in my opinion.

I have a dedicated home theater 20 by 13 what do you recommend a dual Pb 16 or a 4 Pb 3000?
@gibluap5 жыл бұрын
I own dual pb3000's and they really are real good! I would recommend because they are so very similar and close to the 4,000 saving $1,000 in buying dual 3000's instead

running duals has been a revelation; I was on a much much lower budget, but for a small bedroom the dual pb1000's do great. I also noticed a HUGE improvement by raising them up off the floor using some basic nesting tables (you can get a set of three on amazon for $100)

I have 2 sb 1000’s in my 9x9x9 feet room. The response graph in my room is similar to the pb 1000 graph that you showed in the video. Under 30 Hz i get a 6 db peak and then when it hits 20 it starts to drop off. I plan on upgrading to 2 sb 2000’s. You mentioned that the sb 2000 went down to 11 Hz in your room. My question is, do you think the sb 2000 will work good in my room? The roll off slope is designed to take advantage off room gain and my room seems to have pretty good gain below 30 Hz. Do you think it will be good for movies? Could you feel the bass more on the sb 2000? I figure the pb 2000 will be overkill for my tiny space

Awesome video, I was actually thinking about getting one pb16 ultra and maybe later on getting another. But damn.... Is dual pb3000's really that good that you'd recommend it over a pb16 ultra? That's some crazy performance...my jaw is on the floor lol. I guess I'll get two pb-3000's and if I want more just get two more lol. I'm still kinda craving the feeling of owning the pb16 ultra though.... That thing is just legendary Imo.

I can only afford a combination of the following, tell me what you would suggest if you don't mind? I have the opportunity to buy a Single PB 3000 with maybe a year later buy the second one (I know you said in the video you'd go Dual PB2000), or Dual SB3000, Dual PB2000pro, or a Pair of used PB2000 for 900$ (2 years old) I love bass, I want it to hit low and hard! However, I also would like subs that sound good at low volumes too for night time viewing...
