[@puddleduckist]

I know this is an older video but I just picked up an SB3000. I have the klipsch sevens and the SB3000 hooked up to my 77 inch C2 in my smaller bedroom. I played Aquaman and I was amazed at the bass it put out! Still playing with the settings, definitely impressed so far!!

[@StrangerInParadise58]

I just recently purchased dual SVS SB3000 subs, mainly to eliminate the nulls, etc. that you get with only one sub. I couldn't be happier. I love these subs! My main interest is music and they just excel. Unlike your experience, my home theatre experience with the dual SB3000s leaves me wanting nothing more. They just rock! Maybe it's because I'm using dual and they have been calibrated for my room.

[@Youthman]

Very possibly so. I think I just prefer Dual Ported for my home theater. It’s an entirely new experience.

[@StrangerInParadise58]

Youthman Makes sense to me. Everything I've heard about PB is that they really excel for home theatre (of course, not to imply that they are a slouch for music! 🤣). Plus, your home theatre is bigger than my living room and the extra oomph of the PB is most likely very warranted! 🤗 Thanks again!

Dual SB3000s in a room under 2500cu. ft is amazingly impressive. Just found that out. Hits 102db at 20hz.

[@Youthman]

Lots of slam for a small sub

[@demetrizuev258]

Ben Tan Would you say it beats a single PB-3000? I have a single SB-3000 and want more base, but the size of PB-3000 is just monstrous. My room is about 1500 cubic feet

Wow! What about the 12-20 herts

[@cdavidhord]

Wow-this is the exact comparison I asked for after watching you last subwoofer video a few days ago, and here it is-Thank You. Unfortunately, I believe you have cost me another $700 because I will likely be ordering dual PB3000s instead of the dual SB3000s I was contemplating.

Great review as usual! The title and around 14mins when the SB3000 is shown both have PB3000 though

[@styner3]

I'm a diehard sealed sub guy, nothing like the punch of a sealed sub and not just for music. I have a medium size theater room but I don't want subs as big as furniture and these SB3000's are the perfect size to put two of them anywhere in the room. I agree than ported subs go lower but movies are more than just rumbles and explosions. IMO.

[@HomeCinemaJunkie]

+1. I also have small room, and I mostly listen to music and response is the most important factor for me. A ported sub would destroy my room and not be as good for music imo.

[@dennisaronnygard8459]

Same here. Sb 3000, maybe even sb4000, are wife friendly in the living room, and they are much better for music and still awesome for movies. I got a 4x5m soundzone room, and big subs will just make annoying rumble, not good solid punches.

[@alambe7275]

Plus, this guy was just testing 1SB 3000 so in a large room when he is comparing that performance to his 1600 dual subwoofer set up it’s not gonna produce the same output

[@daveerald6251]

Hi youthman, I took the plunge, and replaced my Rel T7i with svs sb 3000, what a big step up it is, now I have to save up for a second one.

[@Youthman]

Congrats. Enjoy

[@BenjiGator23]

I upgraded from the SB-2000 to the SB-3000 and man, the additional output hits hard. For a $999 sealed sub it performs very well. I would have loved to have gotten the PB-3000, but my wife vetoed it as it was too big for our living room. Even so, I can def crank it up and it shakes my living room. I didn’t hear any distortion during movies that I would have gotten with the SB2000. Great review and video!

[@hclandscapes]

Thats good to know as i want to upgrade my sb2000 for the sb3000

[@BenjiGator23]

@Sly foxxx For me it was a pretty big difference. The 2000 is a great sub, but I definitely felt the additional output immediately with the 3000. My sub is also located in a fairly open living room, so if you have the 2000 in a smaller room you may be just fine with the 2000.

[@carsthatgoboom4854]

I'm going from the SB-1000 to the SB-2000😂 I'm still looking forward to my findings though.

[@CraigBowman]

the subwoofer came up through the water haha

[@Sky1]

I wasn't thrilled with either one until I heard the PB3000 in sealed mode. That's the ticket maybe even just one port plugged.

[@Ghost-Matrix]

Hi mate, to get rid of any rattling and to tighten up the bass even more, buy the SVS soundpath isolation feet. They make a huge difference on any subwoofer (not just SVS) and will totally cure your problems just like it done mine, thanks

[@michaelbarras6950]

Agree with your comment. I used these feet on my klipsch R-115SW's. Just had to install threaded inserts.

[@dickfantastic7908]

Watching your last few videos where you've been comparing this PB3000 to the Klipsch have been fun, love your enthusiasm for subwoofage, although you're talking about the SB model here. Sealed subs really surprised me in how low they hit and how great it sounds. I can't wait for the day you go crazy and order a PSA S7201. Every video from the unboxing to the review would be epic.

[@WillThrillin]

Just bought mine! Thanks for the review!

[@mdoh8209]

I had the pb3000 and I thought the same thing I now have the dual sb3000 and iv notice with them don’t use the lfe (rca) input use the other normal input input it then bypasses the lfe but can still use the app to change hz with lfe input it’s asking for the full range lfe from the avr

[@drumskostas]

Great video! Thank you for the review! I just have one question, It's obvious in your video that there is a big difference between the SB3000 and PB3000 when it comes to movies, but what about the PB3000's performance in music in sealed mode compared to the SB3000? Is the PB3000 the best choice for someone who wants to enjoys tight bass in music and explosive sound in movies or is it more suitable for movies and but boomy when it comes to music? Thank you in advance!

[@jasonwatson9127]

I didn't realize the PB3000 has a sealed mode.... Youthman, have you experimented with this mode? How does it compare to the SB3000 for music listening?

[@enderrobinson5556]

I’m confused by you setting the low pass filter in the sub to 80hz. I was under the impression that you should always let your av or processor handle that. It even says in the SVS app to keep the low pass filter in the off position when using a av receiver.

[@Youthman]

You are correct. This is an older video. Typically you do not want to use the crossover in your AVR and also in your sub. Now I set the crossovers in my processor and either turn the sub crossover all the way up or use the LFE setting or input on the sub to bypass the sub’s crossover.

[@renatolosito5433]

I didn't understand why you preferred SVS SB3000 compared to SVS SP3000. Is it better with music? Does it have tighter bass and more punch? Easier to find a good position acoustically?

It created a much more even and room filling sound with more punch, and I didn't have to work my one sub so hard anymore trying to make up the difference that the 2nd one added. In my opinion, now that I've gone duel, I don't think I could ever go back. It made that big of a difference for me. That's just my honest opinion based on my personal experience. Hope that helps... 😊

Plan to run dual 3000 subs in my home theater.

[@juandoe7802]

What did you get?

[@mikan004]

However there is a problem, but more of a catch, with the SR8012. Regions or countries that uses 110-120V AC current will have the SR8012 named as AV Surround *RECEIVER*. However in 230-240V AC regions, it WILL be named AV Surround *AMPLIFIER*. The receiver has an AM+FM antenna input, but for the amplifier, it does not contain. I hope you see this soon as this may escalate to a big issue

[@Youthman]

I’m not sure how this is a big issue as I didn’t even mention the AM/FM capabilities of the unit as most people in home theater likely are not listening to the radio on their receiver, rather high quality CD’s, SACD, Blu-ray concerts etc.

Having had both if you owned the pb13's would you think spending the money to go to the 16's is worth it or is the cost more than the sound upgrade provided. Would you be happier putting that money elsewhere in the system and keep the 13's in this hypothetical or do you just have to go to the 16,s cus the sound is just so much more happy

[@Iamsoundofsoul]

The svs soundpath isolation feet on the sb3k obviously failed to stop sound penetrating foor. I was surprised because subwoofer itself wasn't even trembling. I do not doubt neighbour because the entire medium size livingroo was extremely pressurised from the music.

[@rovd4433]

To be honest, you really are an audiophile giving the sort of expensive quality subwoofers you've mentioned. I do not think there's anything out there that can fully satisfy you.

[@POTE0831]

When you set the LFE on the app to 80hz do you turn off the LFE on ur avr? Or do you leave it at 120hz.

[@midevil1980]

Always leave your "LFE" set to 120Hz on your AVR, and Max/LFE on the sub. Then test different "crossover" settings on your AVR to see what sounds best in your room and control it that way, typically between 60-100Hz depending on your personal preference. 😉

[@bakoe7604]

midevil1980 Isn’t anything below 120 technically inaccurate tho?

[@midevil1980]

@@bakoe7604 On the sub, and the LFE setting in your AVR, YES. For your speaker crossover settings in your AVR, which are different, would typically be set to around 80Hz for all speakers. Just wanted to make sure he wasn't confusing the two settings.

[@midevil1980]

Simply put, let the AVR control all of your crossover settings, not your subs. Hope that makes sense. Sorry for any confusion... 😊

[@bakoe7604]

midevil1980 Ah okay I thought you were only talking about the LFE channel my bad

[@djgdogg1860]

My settings are on movie-10db and receiver-1 speakers set to small 80hz?

[@gabemartinez1012]

Would you say that might be the same for SB-4000 for movies?

[@gibluap]

What do you mean your set the volume on your AVR at 0? Reference level?

[@kevinweithers1223]

He is referring to the subwoofer trim level which you set in your AVR.

[@kevinweithers1223]

Also, a trim setting of 0 is ideal because your AVR is not applying any boost or cut to the subwoofer signal level. Closer to zero is better but a negative number is also fine. Try not to do a positive number since applying a boost to the signal is not ideal and can lead to clipping.

[@midevil1980]

I thought he was referring to the volume on the AVR when set to Relative not Absolute... 🤔

[@hammer627]

Speaker placement is everything. Your sound equipment is everything. Sound calibration is everything. Room size is everything. It's your house!!! try everything!!!!! Don't know what size sub you have but, the crawl test is ur best bet. If you can place the sub in the spot where u usually sit then put it there. From that point crawl around the room until you find a spot where the bass sounds the best. After that place ur sub in that spot. And as for ur main speakers try playing some movies with a lot of dialog ( people talking and such). Move the speakers toed in and spread them or bring them closer together until it sounds like the sound is coming from the center channel. OOOPs MY bad....Make sure you are in stereo when you try this with your main speaker though! I hope this helps!!!

The title currently says SB3000. Originally it said PB3000 in the title which was a typo.

You are correct. See my response to Ender.

Hi, just a small correction sir, near the end of the video, you mentioned about showing a demo of the SB3000, which you did show the sub in action. However, you on the upper left hand corner, you titled it as the PB3000 and not the SB3000? Just a small observation, but still a good vid.

For me, I like dual subs but I would go with the PB3000 as I felt it was much better for movies. But since your room is smaller than mine, dual SB3000 would likely work well too

Should the PB-2000 have noticeably more output than the SB-3000? The PB-3000 is simply too large for my space.

It doesn't quite work that way YouthMan, don't count the passive woofers as an additional drivers. A passive radiator is the same thing as a tuned port. It's passive, meaning it reacts to whatever the active driver does and does not add to the power to the system. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4nRop1pi8qJhcU

Same answer as on your other comment. JTR is in a whole different league than SVS.

[@ickkynickky21]

Hey youthman I know in general you shouldn't mix speakers/brands but would it work/sound fine if I use the svs prime elevation speakers for dolby atmos with all my other speakers being klipsch referance premiere?

[@hammer627]

It's ok to mix brands/speakers. However by mixing different brands and such you may experience phase/timing issues amongst them. All speakers do not always produce sound waves at thee exact same time . In other words you may experience sound lag between the different brand name groups. The best thing in my opinion is to try the speakers out for ur self and see if ur receiver can help calibrate the timing of all of ur speakers for maximum performance. I hope this helps answer your question. After all, hometheater and music is all about trial and era. Enjoy my friend!!!

Have you compared the SB 3000 and the SB 4000? I can't find any videos on that and an opinion on how much difference there is. I know its a different size driver but how much audible difference is there and does it justify the extra few hundred dollars?

Comparing a sealed sub compared to a ported sub just isn't a fair comparison. Of course you're going to get more SPL and low frequency extension from the PB3000. I love SVS's sealed subs, but to get true home theater heart pounding spine rattling bass and LFE, you'll have to step it up to the SB16-Ultra (dual's at that) for at least my size room which is 1800 Cubic Feet.
