I've often wondered if anybody with decent wood working tools could build better enclosures for entry level subs. The SB-1000 Pro delivers speed and control, but also a surprising amount of depth for such a diminutive sub

premium powder coated basket with FEA optimized analysis for maximum rigidity, tensile strength, and energy transferenceI’m particularly impressed with how the SB-1000 Pro can serve music lovers by turning 2.0 systems into 2.1 systems. The sub has high-level inputs, so even the most basic 2-channel systems will work with it. The sub also has stereo RCA inputs plus outputs, offering another path for systems that don’t have dedicated subwoofer outputs. There’s no bookshelf speaker I know of that would not benefit from the extra extension that adding a SB-1000 Pro can offer. The SVS SB-1000 Pro is a sealed subwoofer with a 12-inch driver plus 325W of amplification, and forms part of the entry-level range within the manufacturer's line-up. SVS has already given the 'Pro' treatment to the mid-range 2000 series, and now it's the turn of the more affordable 1000 Series. Unfortunately, our Installation Service excludes all gas appliances. It is the customer’s responsibility to find a gas safe engineer to connect the appliance. Any work conducted by a third part gas safe engineer will be at the customer’s expense and we will not accept any liability for their work. Maybe a little bigger than your expectation due to the incorrect vision of the subwoofer fitting in your room.

There are some special benefits of 8 and 10-inch subwoofers, that you can’t get properly from others. Let’s look at some of the benefits before jumping to the table. The level of distortion decides the quality of a subwoofer. If the distortion levels are high, particularly in mid-range or high-range, it means the subwoofer isn’t good. On the contrary, if the distortion is low, it is a good sign. It shows the subwoofer can maximize the slam. There are several 8 inch and 10-inch subwoofers manufactured by SVS and Klipsch. SVS PB-1000 and SVS SB-1000 are among the popular subs of SVS that fall under this criterion. Again, Klipsch SPL-100 and Klipsch R-100SW are the popular 8/10-inch subwoofers of Klipsch. Below we will compare these subwoofers and see what they offer in a table.For instance, when it comes to ‘Metal’, it produces amazing intensity and ferocious sound which is the essence of the Metal genre. You experience the strong presence of the beats in each song. Before going to the table let’s look at the reasons you can go for 12 inch subwoofers, in other words, what do 12-inch subwoofers offer in general. A little more about the subwoofer specs, before we move on. It’s not the deepest subwoofer that SVS make, only dropping down to around 20Hz before tailing off. Other subwoofers they make, such as the titanic PB16-Ultra ( full review here) can go all the way down to 13Hz, which is enough to rattle your ovaries good and proper. That’s obviously reflected in sound quality, but to be honest, it’s more than deep enough for the type of rooms this subwoofer fits best in.

Low pass filter control to ensure smooth sonic transitions and seamless blending with the main speakers As with just about all the company’s subwoofers, there are very few accessories here. There’s a mesh grille, in contrast to the all-metal options found on more expensive subwoofers like the PB16-Ultra ( full review here). You attach it via plastic slots, although to be honest, we put it to one side and forgot about it, and you should too. You don’t even need to worry about feet, as set of rubber ones come installed on the SB-2000 Pro already. Sound Quality and Performance SVS SB-2000 Pro Technology Acoustic absorption eliminates all coloration from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume. Three convenient custom presets allow for perfect tuning in any room or system, from your favorite seat.Experience a new level of sub bass which is sure to fill the room. This powerful subwoofer is perfect for music fanatics, home cinema systems or those who seek more thunderous tones within their gaming set up. For a modestly price subwoofer which delivers anything but modest sound - look no further than the SB1000. I run a 5.1 system, but with a phantom center, so it’s really 4.1. The speakers are GoldenEar Triton Seven, which have served me well for years. Anyhow, I tried both Audyssey XT32 and using the tools SVS provides, and the point is either approach works to smooth out the response within the range covered by the sub. Of course, using Audyssey lets you correct for more than just the sub, but even if you take the AVR-based room correction path, you can still use the SVS App to fine-tune.

Things are a little less cut and dried with the companion app. The old SB-2000 had no digital app control, but here, you get access to the full iOS/ Android SVS app. This allows you fine-grained control not just of crossover, volume, and phase, but also aspects of the sound like EQ and room mode. If there’s one thing we’d like SVS to do next, it’s redesign their app. It works perfectly well, with no dropouts or glitches, but if you aren’t au fait with subwoofer terminology or how to set one up, then it can be quite daunting. What, after all, is a room mode? At what value should the compensation be set? The app is mum on this topic.Do you listen to music? Own a TV? Is the room that you spend your time in less than 250 square feet in size? (Hint: it probably is). Then you need the SVS SB-1000 Pro. It’s one of the most accomplished, confident subwoofers available today. It has some of the best design, controls, and usability that we’ve ever tested, and it sounds absolutely splendid. We highly recommend it to just about everybody. At the time of writing, we think it’s the best subwoofer you can currently buy. This will be mostly for music, but occasionally for TV and stuff. However, my main system is armed with an SVS PB-13 Ultra, so if it's a bass-hungry action movie, I'd use that other system instead. My two options for this home office system are to get floor standing tower speakers with enough tight bass for music, or else try to augment my existing bookshelf speakers with a sub. However, it seems the latter might be the cheaper route with the SB-1000. I do NOT need loud volume. I just want a more filled out and tight bass response for low to moderate volumes. I know most of the audiophiles will say not to mix speaker brands. But once I got the levels balanced, then everything worked together in perfect harmony and I could not even remotely tell that there are two different brands of subs in the room.
