Thanks for being the first to do a real review on the SVS PB-2000 pros. Everyone has been waiting for a real review on these SUBS. I ordered mine 2 days ago and feel confident/ assured that i made the right decision after watching your review. Tuesday can't come soon enough !!!

[@jasonwatkins4277]

Just got my dual PB2000 Pros set up over the weekend. They are unbelievable subs!! They are absofrigginlutely worth the money! Watched the intro to Live, Die, Repeat at reference levels. The neighbor came over to see what the hell I added to my theater. Said he was feeling the bass in his house. They replaced a 20-year-old, single, Velodyne 15" sub. Best money I have spent so far upgrading my HT. Thanks for the very detailed review.

[@c-claudel]

I´m running 2 PB 1000 for a few years now and super happy with them! Before the PB 1000´s I had a single PB 12 plus, definitly would recommend SBA over Single Sub!

[@markjwolfson]

Question for you: Two SB-2000 Pro's vs. Two SB-3000's? Which wins on the quality of bass? Output?

[@mikegoddard7354]

depends on your room size in cubic feet, if it's a room with a door or living room style all make a huge difference. WXLXH = cubic feet. Check the general recommendations for room size.

[@Subwoofer101]

Somehow I missed this comment. Dual SB-3000's will do a better job in every way, as dual SB-2000 Pro's are just a little less in pretty much every measure. I don't usually listen to sealed subs, but knowing the trends in the SVS subwoofer line, I have no reason to believe otherwise.

[@johnnyd276]

@@Subwoofer101 Would you say the same for "P"B-2000 Pro vs "S"B-3000? I ask since they are currently both about the same price. Would the upgrade "make up" for the fact that it's a sealed sub? If I remember well, you wrote on "The List" page that you considered the sb-3000 had somewhat of a ported sound. Thanks!

Thank you for this review! I ordered a PB2k Pro but they were back ordered though I didn't mind waiting. I kept watching your other reviews and you then sold me on the PB3k so I sent an email to SVS and they seamlessly canceled my PB2k Pro for the PB3k.... shout out to Scott Miller! I can't wait to finally be part of The Brotherhood of Bass... no disrespect to my Klipsch RW-12d. I didn't go duals as I don't have the space at the moment.... but I will. Awesome channel... I liked and now follow.

[@pete6705]

The original PB 2000 is on sale today for $700. The Pro is $1100. If the gap was a little smaller I’d go with the Pros without thinking much, but $400 difference is making this very tough for me

[@dwp1slyfox]

Finally! A review of the pb2000 pro! Thx! I disagree with the av receiver analogy though, especially in 2020. You definitely will get many more audio video quality options with the higher end receivers than the budget models.....things like hdmi 2.1, Dolby Vision, HDR10, VRR, Imax enhanced, Auro 3d, Audyssey room correction, etc. etc. that you won't find with the cheaper models. If you have the gear to take advantage of those things, the audio/video difference will be massive, much as it would going from a budget 1080p tv to a 2020 4k lg b/c series and up oled.

[@Subwoofer101]

I agree with your point. I was thinking just in audible differences. Still, given the choice between a cheaper X3300 AVR and dual Pro's, or a X6500 and basic subs, I'd go with the X3300 and Pro combo all day long.

[@waymonfrench2077]

[@lohanette]

Great review. I got it when released. Spent since then tweaking the PEQ to rise the 15db 50Hz dip. Could only raise it a few db but SVS said not to have too much +db. Today I had a play with phase and the polarity. Phase did nothing but switching to negative polarity raised the dip by around 5db and also raised 20hz and lower making sub sound warmer and definitely better. I felt sofa vibrate al low levels. When I run a freq sweep all frees sound same so trusting ears not miniDSP and rew. Only problem with sub is I've been awake all night many nights watching film after film. Best upgrade I've made.

[@tbob2224]

Snagged two PB-2000's from the outlet and couldn't be happier. I EQed them using Equalizer APO (everything plays from my HTPC, it offers a 32 band EQ for each channel) in combination with REW and a UMIK-1. They are flat down to about 14hz in my room and even have pretty good output down to 10hz, just insane for ~$500. It was really down to PB-1000 Pro or PB-2000 and the PB-2000 seemed like the obvious choice, didn't seem like the PB-2000 Pro was worth ~60% more. Maybe if they have some heavier discounts on the Pro within the next year I'll move up. Any idea if the metal grill from the original 2000 fit on the Pro?

[@stevenbate5544]

How important is it to get a front-ported sub away/off the front wall? This is the only concern with going PB-2000 Pro, it will be about 2" away from the front wall. Will it matter as much as it has with my past rear-ported subs? The SB-2000 Pro I can get around 8" away.

[@dayonerecoverdub3626]

No you are able to place front ported subs close to the wall

[@gbutta1126]

Love the channel and really appreciate your knowledge! I have a question, in one of your videos you mentioned shaping the curve of the sealed subs to mimic the ported ones. Using the svs app with my sb 2k pro’s where would be a good place to start? Meaning hz, db and q factor settings. Thanks in advance

[@Empyre47AT]

I've been watching this channel for years, and I've always wanted to try SVS. Now that one of my Klipsch subs died, I replaced both with PB-2000 Pros. I couldn't be happier with them. However, I'm wondering if I'm sensitive to infrasonics. I feel the pressure you've described getting from sealed box subs. I've only had the SVS subs for a day, so it may just take some fine-tuning to maybe mitigate that ear pressure.

[@Subwoofer101]

Congrats on your new Pro's! Something I've noticed with infrasonic bass is that for me, it all seems to be about balance. The ratio of infrasonic bass to audible bass. I won't bog you down with my complete thoughts on it, but I'll tell how I adjusted the Pro's to deal with the infrasonic issue. Hop into the SVS app, and go to the Parametric EQ, and activate 1 PEQ to the following values: Frequency= 29 Boost= +6 Q Factor= 2.5 After that, you might need to adjust the gain a little, or not, it depends on your preference. It could also be the way room correction set things up, or a few other things like having seating too close to walls, but give that a shot first. Hopefully that will get the balance right. I also highly recommend my Distance Hack. Let me know how that goes!

[@Empyre47AT]

​@@Subwoofer101 I will give that PEQ adjustment a shot. Audyssey did a great job with everything except the subs. I had to use the gain and distance hacks for those. Thinking of trying REW at some point as well. Anyway, thanks for the reply and for the adjustment tip.

[@Methodical2]

I have 3 Subs; 2x PB-2000 and an older Polk. I will be replacing the Polk with another PB-2000, just debating if it will be the Pro or the older unit. Btw, when homeboy is shooting that rifle in the Accountant, those subs really make it sound like you are right there. I just keep rewinding the movie to hear those shots. Man. it rocks the house.

[@reggieburris]

I finally have dual PB-1000's in my family room. They hit hard and dig deep. I look forward to putting dual PB-2000 Pro's in my basement.

[@Subwoofer101]

Congrats! Now you can go through movies and music hearing things you never could before. It really does change everything. You'll definitely notice more explosiveness with the Pro's. They really kick. Have you been through my Bass Hack videos yet? The PB-1000 responds well to the Gain Hack. The Distance Hack, Crossover Hack, Adjusting Subs By Ear, and unlocking your Blu Ray player are really beneficial too. Curious what you think after you get the Pro's in. You'll have a good first hand experience of what I mean by high quality deep bass (PB-1000 and PB-2000 original) vs premium bass (PB-2000 Pro and up) and I'm always curious how others experience it.

[@travismayes23]

what was the video that you had about the PB 2000 Pro? how to set it up on the app to give it more base?

[@Buzza235]

Great video. Do you have to run them in for a set amount of hours or can you just let them loose from the get go?

[@kevinnewman2352]

Ok what about 2) pb1000 pros vs 1) pb3000? Will I get the same impact as my dual pb1000’s or will the pb3000 give me better explosiveness?

[@Subwoofer101]

I would always stick to duals that are matched. The PB-1000 Pro's are basically what the original PB 2000's were, but with more tunability with the app. You would notice more impact with the PB-3000's, but I wouldn't run it single. If you're going to get a second PB-3000, go for it. Otherwise I would prioritize dual subwoofers.

[@rayking507]

Hi guys I actually own a single Rel HT 1205. Let me tell you that Rel is very detailed and refined compared to SVS pb 1000 i used to own. Ok pb 1000 did go lower (19hz) and made us feel the scenes below 21 hz, but thats the only praise i can honestly give it. Other than that, compared to the Rel SVS was boomy and one note, for example there was a night club scene with loud music and i could not work out the conversetion that was being had, but once i changed to the REL the same scene was so much cleaner (still loud) but i could hear and understand the speech going on in the club scene. Not just only that, but in so many aspects of all movies i watch i smile and realised i made the right choice. Guys trust me, just to feel some parts ( not many ) in certain movies you really dont wanna spoil the rest of the movie with boomy one not bass. You shoul enjoy all parts of a movie with a subwoofer not just some parts. Also Rel has been making only subwoofers for years, dont you think they now how to make ported subwoofers for movies, there is a reason why they dont go down that root, and that is because they put QUALİTY, DETAIL and SPEED of sound first.

[@patrykgorecki581]

Hi what you recommend PB 2000 or SB 3000 ?

[@JC-bl9bo]

Ok, one last question of advice. I have the PB 1000 and was going up get the PB 1000 Pro but now I'm thinking of making a bigger step up to the PB 2000 Pro. Would you say that's a huge, huge step up? There is a Rythmik sub that is in the same price range but SvS is more convenient in a lot of ways to buy from.

[@Subwoofer101]

The PB-2000 Pro is worth the extra money in my opinion, if it's not a big financial burden for you. The PB-3000 and the PB-16 Ultra are better, but I would only suggest those for people who easily have the means. This is true about most audio: Diminished returns. The more you spend, the less dramatic the improvement is. The difference between an $80,000 vs $1,000 speaker is not nearly as big as a $100 vs 1,000 speaker. Sometimes, you can even go backwards in sound quality, but that's another topic. In my opinion, diminished returns start AFTER the PB-2000 Pro's. So going from typical subwoofers to the PB-1000 Pro's is DEFINITELY worth the money spent. Going from the PB-1000 Pro's to the PB-2000 Pro's is another big noticeable step up. More explosive. It's undeniable. The PB-3000 and PB-16 Ultras are definitely better than the PB-2000 Pro, but for the money, you're in the same ballpark of truly premium level bass. You get a big improvement in explosiveness between the PB-1000 Pro to the PB-2000 Pro. You get obvious improvement in the higher models, absolutely, but the cost vs amount of improvement in the SVS line will be the most dramatic between the PB-1000 Pro and PB-2000 Pro. PB-1000 Pro= full audible depth and awesome price point. Room filling and powerful. PB-2000 Pro= All of the above, but a noticeable step up in explosiveness. More dynamic headroom. You get more explosive as you go up, but the price difference is bigger, vs how much more explosive it is. I think the PB-16 Ultra is worth it, but not if they're killing you financially. It's like cars and acceleration. Going from 5 seconds to 2.5 seconds is a lot more expensive than going from 7.5 seconds to 5 seconds. 5 seconds is a LOT of fun.

[@JC-bl9bo]

@@Subwoofer101 oh wow thank you very much for the very detailed answer. It would not be a very big financial burden. There are a few in the outlet right now for 799.99 and with my discount is down to 760.00. No problem there. Thank you again for the incredible response.

[@darthsquider8586]

You mention that a pair of PB-3000's are worth the extra cost over the PRO's, would there be a noticeable difference if the volume is never maxed out? My family usually watch movies at a comfortable listening volume of 80-90dBs. Just curious if the 'quality' of bass would be any different between the two at the same dB level.

[@Subwoofer101]

That's basically the difference as you go up in price with SVS, more powerful bass at regular listening levels, despite not listening any louder than you normally would. Of course there is more output potential, but dual PB-1000's have enough output for me, so that's never been my issue. Just more explosive. If you are trying to save some money, Dual PB-2000 Pro's will be VERY satisfying. Dual PB-3000's just have have even more explosive goodness. It's not like it used to be, with a huge difference between the original PB-2000 and the PB-3000. If that was the case, I would say stretch your budget if you can, because the difference is so significant. With the Pro's, I'm not as strong on that position. They really are premium subwoofers at this price, so you are still getting that premium impact. The PB-3000 is just better. If you order direct, you have a year to upgrade too. Hopefully that helps!

[@AMERICOBECKS]

Nice video as always, according to your experience would I feel a huge difference between the new PB-1000 Pro and the PB-2000 Pro? I got the PB-1000 PRO and now I have doubts and is it OK if I buy a PB-2000 Pro and mix them(one PB-1000 Pro and one PB-2000 Pro) . Thanks

Hey I know your question is an old one but he didn’t respond to you so I wanted to put my two cents in I bought two 2000 pro and one 1000 pro and calibrated my system and it sounds awesome If you put a 2000 pro with a 1000 pro the 2000 pro is going to out power and overwhelm the 1000 pro unless you turn down the game or the volume level on your 2000 pro to match your 1000 pro but you will lose power impact and slam out of your 2000 pro If I could have done this all over again I would have gotten the SB 3000 pro for my small room The PB 2000 pro and other ported subwoofers have issues with port noise and lingering infrasonic bass I do not like that instead I’d like for my subwoofers to give me explosions slam punch in the gut smacked in the face base I wish I could have went with the SB 3000 pro like I did in my front row when I went with the SB 4000 pro it’s so much better man Portnoy‘s ambient bass lingering throughout the room I did not care for that drives me nuts

I have 2 Klipsch RP- 8000f and RP- 504C, which of these two subwoofer. Would you recommend? (SVS PB-2000 PRO subwoofer with the Klipsch SPL-150) Thanks for your help

[@Subwoofer101]

Klipsch is getting better with the SPL series, but without question, the PB-2000 Pro's are going to be a better sub in general. You can look at wattage, cabinet build, adjustability using the PEQ function in the app, and so on. It's simply more advanced. Klipsch is so popular that I'd love to see their subs on my list. It would probably double my subscription base. But they aren't there just yet. The big thing to be aware of is that if you let room correction set the subwoofer level, the Klipsch will likely sound louder. It's because of the difference in response curves. Because SVS subs dig deeper, the Max SPL is at different places on the response curve. Where a typical subwoofer will peak around 40-70 hertz, ported SVS subs typically peak around 20-25 hertz. Point being, you'll get a more explosive experience with the SVS, but you need to turn them up to get them properly integrated. Room correction is built for the vast majority of subwoofers. Shallow. Lastly, it might not seem like it, but dual PB-1000 Pro's will do better than either the Klipsch or the PB-2000 Pro as a single. But dual PB-2000 Pro's are phenomenal for the price. Truly premium bass, with more impact than the PB-1000 Pro's, which are clean, powerful, and as deep as you can hear. The PB-2000 Pro's are just more shocking, when called for. Follow my Bass Hack video series, and your home theater will truly come alive.

So there's where I'm at. The ultra is only 6 months old and in great condition.. What are your thoughts? I would really like a pair of 3,000s but that's outside my budget as well..

[@Subwoofer101]

Me? I would go with the PB-2000 Pro's ALL DAY LONG. I'm not guessing. I LOVE the PB-16 Ultras, make no mistake. AWESOME sub. Incredible realism and explosiveness. BUT, duals are vital in my opinion. If you don't see yourself being able to get another PB-16 Ultra soon or at all, the PB-2000 Pro's are the way to go. If you get them factory direct, and you can trade up within a year, if you feel the need. My affiliate links in the video description are factory direct. But I've had a single PB-16 Ultra while I waited for the matching sub, it was months. I preferred dual PB-2000 Originals over the single PB-16 Ultra. But dual PB-16 Ultras are breathtaking. Duals make that big of a difference.

[@maxwelldowe8446]

I have been torn between the SB2000 Pro & the PB2000 Pro. I want a sub more for music than for a home theater setup yet I listen to a lot of bass heavy electronic music that reaches down to the lowest of frequencies (not mid ranged electronic music that's more main stream). It seems like the consensus online is that the SB is better for music and the PB is better for home theater due to its larger output and lower frequency range. How ever the response on the PB seems to be almost as flat as the SB. I would be doing most of my listening in a small bedroom that's about 10x10ft and a living room that's 20x20ft. I also produce music a little bit and want an accurate sub.

[@maxwelldowe8446]

@Sly foxxx Sweet! Thanks for the reply, I actually broke and ended up getting the sb. I will say it is very tight and accurate but doesn't quite have that punch at 20-30hz which I believe the Pb's ports are designed to amplify. Might return and get the pb. One quick question, how have you found the Pb's "sealed mode" to proform? I feel like if its sealed mode is a major difference in sound settings the pb ends up being the best of both worlds. Again, thanks for the advice!

First time watcher of this channel. Great content and great channel!

[@alambe7275]

Hey thanks for the review I got a question I hope you can answer it I have two pb 2000 pro subwoofers and I was thinking about getting two pb 3000 Pro subwoofers for a four subwoofer set up would that work and sound great together?

[@alambe7275]

Just to let everyone know that the PB 2000s are not that good for me so I decided to go with the SB 4000 which give you more slam in explosion and IMPAC Ported subwoofers have too much lingering infrasonic base which I cannot stand it

[@Lucoman]

Subscribed! Thanks for providing great content. Im currently looking for a sub for my klipsch rp-280 towers. I'm debating between the monolith 12 and the pb 2000 pro, and then getting a 2nd eventually down the line. Which would you recommend?

[@shobhitmathur5686]

Oh wow, looks like a great sub. I have an Old PB 1000 and boy that thing never stops to amaze me. I might go dual PB1000 for my room and EQ them via a minidsp 2x4HD. Hence would really love it if you could put out a Video on using REW with Minidsp for a basic 2.1 or 2.2 setup.

[@demonreturns4336]

If you watched the whole video the dude talked about how complicated using a miniDSP is which would lead one to believe it’s not something he engages in.... so why would you request a video about exactly that 😐

[@backrack01]

What should one look for in an intergrated amp to get the most of the sub?

[@MarcAngello]

Great video! So question - I can't do dual PB-2KPros but what it be bad to have a single PB-1000 Pro and a PB-2000 Pro? The issue right now is space and the wife acceptance factor due to living room furniture arrangements lol.

[@ticheco]

Oops, I forgot to ask too. I have a Svs Sb-2000 in the room. Can I put the Sb-2000 with the future PB-2000 pro together in the cinema so that i can get more bass impact in movies? Or it is not worth putting them together. Thanks in advance

[@MichaelAnthonyLee]

Thanks for the video. This is on my short list for sub models I'm considering. One thing I've really been wondering about is whether I'm going to heard port noise with this sub. If I go dual as you suggest and I plan to do, one of the subs will be close to the listening position in the back left of the room while the other will be in the front right. That is how my room is wired and how I'm setup currently with lower end subwoofers that I want to replace. My main reason for wanting to upgrade is the "wind/air" noise I hear from the ported sub near my listening position and I'm still a little concerned that a much more expensive SVS ported sub will have the same issue. Is that an unfounded concern?

[@waymonfrench2077]

I dont think so michael I recieved my dual pb2000 pros three weeks ago all I hear is some amazing bass coming from these subs they are very nice these things are a beast they actually do sound bigger than what they are ,I'm still working on getting my bass at the right gain,I think one minute I got the bass lowered enough when a explosions happen in a movie I'm like holy shit, in other words these subs are powerful and bad ass makes wanna watch a shit load of movies with these and I had my gain at -15 and these subs are not even broken in yet

I think I just need to come up with the $ and get these. 😉 Again, I appreciate hearing from you again!

I bought PB-2000 PRO as my first subwoofer. I can't go dual because of space in current room but maybe in future with bigger room I will. :) App is nice and Iam using room gain compensation which really helped me but simple remote with volume control would be nice to have too. I did not tried sealed mode because they forgot include plugs in my package and Iam waiting for them now. In your videos speaker membrane really oscillate but with my small room it barely moves even in higher volumes. :)

[@alambe7275]

Mr. subwoofer 101 thanks for your review I have been watching your reviews for the last few weeks and I do want to throw my two cents in on the PB 2000s I purchase two of them for the front room and after spending quality time with them I realize that ported subwoofers are not for me I can’t stand the infrasonic bass sound it just lingers even when I made your adjustments to the PEQ Add to my research on the sealed subwoofers I realize that those subwoofers may be best for what I like I like slam and IMPAC and not a lot of infrasonic bass lingering So I went with the SB 4000 and those subwoofers are just in credible I wish I can get rid of the 2000 ported subwoofers for the SB 3000 for my game room but I can’t because I bought them from Best Buy So I will go ahead and keep the 2000 I have no choice and just try to continue to make adjustments to get rid of the infrasonic bass waves that I can’t stand Thanks again

[@alambe7275]

Update! Also poured it subwoofers have issues with port noise I can’t stand that either so I will definitely have these two subwoofers in the background and have my SB 3000 as the front stage the main subs the SB 3000 in the SB 4000 are in credible the basis, accurate clean, powerful slamming And explosion sounds like an explosion. A bomb drop sounds just like a bomb being dropped. You don’t have that blowed it base in that port noise like ported subwoofers can’t stand those things.

Nope, it's in a single family house. I did put an identical system in an RV for demo purposes though. I was hoping it would go "viral", but this isn't what I had in mind. When life returns to normal, whatever that is anyway, I'll do more in person demos.

[@loukeeper9997]

Hey would it be better to go with one Pb 2000 pro or Pb 3000 if I can only afford one?

[@mahendrapatil2811]

Hello 101, I need some advice. I have 13' x 17' x8' (W x L x H) room that is a dedicated media room with projector and Denon AVR X4500. I have outlaw LFM1 subwoofer that leaves a lot to be desired (maybe not appropriately set up). Your SVS subwoofer reviews have helped me make up my mind about getting two of these. I can't decide as to whether I should get two PB-3000 or SB-3000 or two PRO-2000 given the size of my home theater.

[@Subwoofer101]

The two subs I would be looking at are dual PB-2000 Pro's and dual PB-3000's. I need to do a video on this, but to boil it down, if dual PB-3000's aren't going to hurt you financially, easy choice. PB-4000 level performance, and only an inch bigger in every dimension over the PB-2000 Pro's. The PB-2000 Pro's are epic for the money, and you can always upgrade within a year, so long as you go factory direct. Same flavor of potency as the PB-3000's, and definitely what I would call premium bass. By contrast, the originals are not what I would consider premium. To me, premium means more explosive. To me, room size just doesn't matter, unless you're talking massive, massive rooms. Otherwise, the problems you're going to have in a small room are the problems you're going to have no matter what subwoofer you go with. Either way, if you have small room problems, like boundary gain from being too close to a wall, that's something you'll have to deal with regardless.

[@chucknorris2266]

So I have the pb-2000 pro duals and I'm lovin it but I follow this SVS page on Facebook and alot of people recommended the pb3000 makes a huge difference. Is it really that much of a difference or is my pb-2000 pro good enough?

[@didjindutch]

Hi, great content and really helpful. I relatively recently discovered SVS and am slowly modernising my home theatre set up. I recently bought the Ultra centre and boy oh boy, that in itself transformed the system from home theatre to actually being at the cinema! Buoyed by this, I HAVE to get a new sub, and it's going to be a 2000 Pro, probably the SB, the small loss in LFE will be a price worth paying for the vis a vis the wife's moaning because of the size difference (but I am open to persuasion if you/anyone can convince me that there is a palpable loss between the two - I would mostly use it for films, but music is important). Now to my dullard question: how do you dual sub? I have a Sony STR DN1080 amp, which I think will be enough for now at least, but I have looked at much higher spec AV amps and I don't see the connectors for two subs - what am I missing? To be fair, one will be enough for me for now, but when the time is right I will be on it. Can you help with this knowledge gap? Best regards

[@Subwoofer101]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you are finding the channel useful. Your main question is solved by a cheap and easy RCA splitter. Run room correction after connecting the second sub. Cake. Now for your more problematic issue. Sealed vs Ported. My wife was super hesitant to go from my SC-2000 Supercube, a microscopic sub by comparison, to the large ported subs. If I were to suggest going back to the smaller, shallower sub, I might be physically assaulted. I think she enjoys my job more than I do, especially with social isolation going on. My point is that bigger dual subs are a hard sell for some spouses, but ported are more comfortable on the ears in general. Ported are better for movies, and I love what they do for music. In my opinion, the "advantages" of sealed subs for music can be imitated using the app. Just more mid bass output. You can set it as a preset. Thankfully, the PB-2000 Pro is the second smallest sub on my list, and given its performance, it's outstanding. But I understand that it's big. My wife loves them, and I feel that after going through my Bass Hack video series, your wife might find a similar appreciation. Everyone wants better bass, whether they realize it or not. Grandmothers tend to be shocked at how much they enjoy my set up. My mother in law is even an enthusiastic fan. Lastly, when you upgrade your AVR, a Denon X4500, X3500, or pretty much anything with Audyssey XT32 is a good place to start. Marantz models are great too, just make sure it has XT32. It's the premium version of the room correction. Let me know if that helps!

[@didjindutch]

@@Subwoofer101 Thank you so much for the very full answer. It absolutely helps. I am a bit loathed to upgrade the AVR just now; what started out as just simply buying (and overspending slightly) an OLED TV, has descended into a 'right, what next!' affair. I know the amp will need to be upgraded but that in itself was quite a recent purchase, I had no idea I was going to go on a deep dive into audiophile territory! I was quizzed but wouldn't say when the SVS centre arrived, and I can tell the Mrs is enjoying the OMG change, so I think I might be able to post-sell the PB Pro once she hears/feels it! It may be a week or three before I take the plunge (need to make sure the money doesn't stop flowing with the current situation), but I will let you know how it goes!! Thanks again, and keep safe

[@didjindutch]

Hi again, I finally went with the SB2000-Pro and it was another SVS-shaped revelation. MOTHER OF GOOOOOD these guys are good. NEVER have I heard such a sound, and it's in my front room!! I just wish the COVID lockdown could be over so I can really see what the Ultra centre and this bad boy can do! Dual subbing for now is off the table, but I am wondering if I can eek a bit more oomph/richness by replacing my remaining KEF 5001 eggs as my rear surrounds with either the Prime satellites/elevation? Are they that much more superior? Finally, disregarding (if possible) the versatility of the elevations, are they in-and-of- themselves better than the satellites (keeping in mind I will use these as straight up rears for now). Hope you guys are keeping safe D

[@philindeblanc]

@@didjindutch The KEF eggs if used just for movies is fine and wont make much difference. But if you listen to 5ch surround music, then yes, adding larger rears will make a difference. As for keeping safe...we are keeping sane by refusing to comply unscientific and tyrannical orders.

[@Subwoofer101]

That dip is due to the room, not the subs. It's why I stress dual subs. A single is going to have dips that shift around in the room at different frequencies. Brand has no impact on it. Duals cause constructive interference, which basically corrects those dips. Funny thing about those standing waves, you can add 10 dB of gain and barely register any difference. But in another position, or outside of the room, it sounds super loud. It's a strange phenomenon.

[@oscarishandsome5150]

@@Subwoofer101 Subwoofer placement is one of the most important things, I understand that very well. In your opinion it does have no dip in the specified range but in its frequency response would you draw a flat line in a graph of 30hz to 60hz at least? I have one 12" already 2000pro will most likely be my next one

[@beeavision]

I'm currently demoing the original SVS PB-2000 in my 12' x 16' x 8' dedicated home theater. Due to a sloping ceiling and AC closet the room is actually just under 1400 cubic feet. The room is closed off from the rest of the house on the second floor. So far my impression of the original PB-2000 is pretty amazing. The room shakes and I can occasionally feel the chest pounding that everyone raves about. I don't have dual subs yet but since I'm still currently under the SVS 45 day trial run I was wondering if it would make any sense to either go dual PB-2000s or pay an additional $570 and go with dual PB-2000 Pros. The difference in price factors in the current sale price of the original Pb-2000 and the additional purchase of two metal grills if I go Pros. Also is their any advantage of upgrading to dual PB-3000 if one PB-2000 is already making my room shake. I'm wondering if the Split-Wind voice coil also helps refine the bass more compared to the Pro model. I'm actually interested in greater detailed bass not necessarily more bass. Currently I'm running my sub's volume in the 12 o'clock position and the trim on the receiver is set to 0 dB. The mode is in LFE+Main @ 120 Hz.

[@beeavision]

@Sly foxxx I think that's what I'm concerned about. If the PB-3000 is more refined does that mean explosions and other effects sound more real rather than boomy? I can't figure out for the life of me why there are so many home theater enthusiasts upgrading to larger and larger subwoofers even in very small spaces. Perfect example of this is when Subwoofer 101 installed two PB-16 Ultras (may have been PB-4000s) in his RV only to later swap them out with the PB-3000s due to space constraints. The seating distance is only a couple of feet from the from the subs. To me that seems like overkill but others say there's absolutely no such thing.

[@beeavision]

My unprofessional assumption is it may be more to do with achieving greater chest thump at lower volumes without it sounding too boomy when the volume is cranked too high.

[@beeavision]

​@Sly foxxx Even though the build of the PB-2000 is quite large. Running two of those within the small space I have to work with won't really cause that much of a disruption. Whats tempting is the build of the PB-3000 which is almost the same size as the PB-2000 and the weight is just light enough for me to hike it up a flight of stairs safely without requiring a construction crane on site. The biggest concern for me is justifying the cost to upgrade to something that I may only use half of its full potential just so I can squeeze a bit more refine tactile responsiveness over what the PB-2000 delivers without shaking the whole house. Of course that's just my own opinion. I could be completely wrong in my perception. I'm sure if I tried out the PB-3000 I may have a hard time reverting back to the PB-2000 again. So to play it safe my current plan is to go with the Pro's first and if by any chance I happen to catch the SUBWOOFER-19 bug then I'll simply trade it up for the PB-3000. This way I can play around with the port and PEQ curve settings.

[@beeavision]

@Sly foxxx Yeah, that and the proverbial rabbit hole. lol

[@Subwoofer101]

Ok, to sum things up from reading all of this: Original PB-2000 is really good, but the PB-2000 Pro's are noticeably more explosive and potent. The PB-3000 is more potent than the PB-2000 Pro. The PB-16 Ultras have the greatest potency. The more potent, the more refined the bass, and the stronger the kick the the chest AT THE SAME VOLUME. That's where the extra money goes. I certainly don't listen any louder with more powerful subs, but I can definitely feel and hear the difference. More potency = more realism. Small rooms make no difference to me in terms of not getting a bigger, more potent sub, as discovered in the RV. You'll have small room issues regardless, so get what you want and deal with the small room issues, you'll need to anyway. See my big bass tiny room video. As far as the SVS PB-1000 not having enough mid-range, I covered this in my Top 16 settings video. Bottom line is that matching the midbass to the output of a regular sub will provide the same midbass you're used to, but with GOBS and GOBS more low end potential. Most people who aren't thrilled with their SVS or other deep bass sub just haven't turned them up enough. It's really as simple as that. Hopefully that covers it all. Let me know if you have more questions! Thanks for watching!!

[@cianc5092]

Are they Bluetooth? And also would you recommend these for music

Please help. First, Thanks for all of your videos and knowledge. I recently upgraded from dual Klipsch SPL 120s to dual SVS PB 2000 pros. I moved my Klipsch to the rear of my room for a little extra rear base. Honestly your videos gave me the confidence to make the $ plunge. Although now the SVS do not sound as good as in the store demo I heard. I am not sure if it is the YPAO room correction (I’m running Yamaha 5200 separates) or the settings or wiring.

Pairs are usually best, especially if you can go factory direct. Then you can trade up if you want. Something tells me you might not be in the United States though, and that usually means that you don't have the ability to trade up. A single 3000 now, and adding another later might be the best answer if that's the case. Are ported subs an option? They have quite a few advantages, and you can check out my website where I compare ported versus sealed. A pair of PB-2000 Pro's are pretty outstanding. Plus you can plug the ports, and run them as sealed if you prefer, you just have to change it in the app as well as plugging the port. Ported subs in the SVS line tend to be stronger under 40 hz then the sealed subs. Generally, that should equate to being able to run more bass overall.

Hello do you know if a PB 3000 Pro maybe in the works?

[@jamillroland2545]

Can the pb-2000pro give you the 2 channel stereo sound

[@StarcraftGT500]

Should I go 2 PB 2000 Pros or 2 sB 3000 (currently they are the same price. 99.9% for movies!!!!) Also going to pair them with 2 svs Ultra bookshelf and a later upgrade will be the ultra center.

[@Samzep]

Svs 2000 pro ported v rel 1205 ? Thoughts ?

[@Brian.M]

I've got 1 month left to trade-up my dual PB 2000 classics. I'm already pretty happy with the classics but I'd like the app control with the Pros. And I'm wondering how much more "oomph" they've got. Total cost will be $682 to trade my dual classics for dual pros (because I have to buy boxes). Anyone care to weigh in if it's worth it? Should I upgrade?

Should I get this sub or the 15" monolith more movies for me not music

[@Greystone1111]

Hey :-) ONE SVS SB 2000 pro, or two SB 1000 for movies? Both solutions, is to be placed, under my 55" inch oled. It is very limited, where I can place the subs. Maybe, I could have two PB 1000, on each side of my couch? But, it will not work under the TV, cause the PBs, are too big, for my setup, as it is :-(

[@danelevy827]

Would you go with dual pb 2000 pros or dual hsu veg-3 mk5 hp sub 15”, 600 watts continuous, 2000 watts peak for $1, 598.00. Please let me know. Thanks

[@overnightdelivery]

Sorry.. but I'm a sealed sub person. What about mixing a SB-1000 with a SB-2000 Pro for Dual subs? I suppose the suckiest part is that one has the EQ software and the other doesn't. But maybe it can still EQ properly despite that?

Kyle Shays I have dual SB-2k pro’s and they produce subterranean, deep gutter punch you in the face bass! In a controlled sophisticated manor. Everyone says the PB’s dig deeper so you should enjoy them.

[@kyleshays]

@@waymonfrench2077 SVS recommends -10dB on the sub then running auto cal, but mine sounds good at -18dB. Probably because I have a small room.

Can use the pb2000 pro with my old pb2000 🤔

[@jamillroland2545]

Man it's hard to decide pb-1000 or pb-2000pro this my first time to buy a subwoofer from svs

[@Subwoofer101]

Frankly, if you can afford dual PB-2000 Pro's, that's absolutely the way I would go. Outstanding. Otherwise go dual PB-1000's or PB-2000 originals if they are on special. Go factory direct, and you have a year to upgrade. My affiliate links are factory direct. But essentially, dual subs are SUPER important, and I would prioritize that over getting the better sub. ALL day long. Whichever you go with, check out my Bass Hack video series to get the most out of them. If you set them up "as directed", you'll be hear a lot more depth, but my Hacks will really optimize them.

PB-2000 Pro vs PB-3000, which one is better bang for the buck? Assuming you only have space for 1 subwoofer. That PB-3000 is almost double the price.
