www.svsound.com/products/sb-4...
Type - sealed
Woofer - 13.5" fiberglass resin composite cone.
Amplifier - Class D amplifier delivers 1,200 Watts RMS, 4000 watts peak
Frequency response - 19-310 Hz (±3 dB)
Dimensions - 17.8” (W) x 18.3" (H ) x 20.9” (D)
Weight - 102 lbs.
MSRP Value - $1,599
Where I Purchased - Best Buy
Price Paid - $1,250 including tax (over stock)
Quality - 10
I’ve only given out one or two 10 scores but I have honestly never had a subwoofer that was built to this quality. The SB16 Ultra also got a 10 as these subs are basically identical, minus the size.
The gloss is perfect, the driver feels as sturdy, the amp is hugely powerful and it comes with an app and a LED screen.
Just beautifully constructed!
Bass - 8.5
This sub produces very clean and deep bass and would be an ideal fit in a medium sized room.
The heavy bass scenes, from many of my favorite movies, were a breeze in this small room.
It reminds me of a caged animal, just like the SB16 Ultra did.
MSRP Rating - 8.0
$1,600 is a large chunk of money for most, like it is for me. With brands like HSU, PSA, Rythmik etc., there are other options at this price point that compete nicely at this price point.
Aesthetics - 9.5
This is a beautiful subwoofer, especially if you like dust-capless subs, gloss black and blue LED lights:)
It is very compact, elegant and beautiful!
Price Paid Value - 8.5
For me to spent this much money on a subwoofer, just to review it, won’t happen often but I have no doubt I will be able to get all my money out of it, when I’m finished.
I’ve just had better deals, like the Rythmik and the HSU subs I recently reviewed.
Final Thoughts -
Is it cheap? No. Is there better performance for the money? Yes.
Will you be able to find a higher quality subwoofer, in this price range, with this performance? No. At least you will be very hard pressed to do better.
Beautiful, high quality, compact and affordable.
Well done SVS!

Just got my 1st svs sub. Wow they go DEEEP. I had a 10" velodyne sub for 20 years and it seemed fine. Its amazing how much subwoofers have improved. The tactile response and frequency range is mindblowing comparatively. I got the bottom of the line pb1000 pro so i can only imagine how that 4000 sounds.
ok thank verry much for your answer .
But my concern is space of my room
is not too big ,tha's the reason that I have decided SB 4000.
what do you Think about this sub, is too powerful for this soundbar?
one more time thank you very much for your answer.
@@bob-jb8eh hey I know your comment is a old one and you probably made your decision already but my little tooth sent in my experience the 4000 would work in your small room your medium size room in your large room as long as you run your calibration and integrate it with your other speakers you’ll be just fine you would love it
Loving all of the subwoofer reviews, for being average guy and saving money have you thought about doing DIY items? I was looking at buying a lot of the reviewed items here but I decided to build one myself with an 18" woofer in a sealed box, overall costed about $450 for materials and everything and I love this (massive) little thing. It definitely excels more in the home theater department, it works well for music but I don't consider it to be the strong suit for it.
The 2 main components were the Dayton DCS450 paired with the Jung sd300.
The box is double front baffled, 18.5 x 18.5 x 21.5 outside dimensions
not the most optimized build ever but as mentioned before, it's been great.
I too Love SVS. I have Dual PB16 Ultras and what can I say? Quite Scary lol. Unbelievably clean bass and gorgeous to look at too. Just incredible subwoofers honestly
I love velodyne at 17 i got a insane deal for a spl 12r and wow and before that i had the velodyne va1215 and that shook everything. i saw that velodyne in the back of one of your other videos and i cant wait for that review. been waiting for it
Seen you last night on Cheap Audio Man but I was watching the replay so couldn't say "hi"!
Buying one brought me here. Nice concise and informative review. Any thoughts on the use of the isolation rubber feet ? Looking forward to hearing mine.
Correct me if I am wrong.....didnt you post a review for an onkyo tx-nr1030 receiver years ago? Your voice sounds like the same guy that did it. Really liked watching it, since I own one. Great job on your finds! You seem like a real down to earth guy...would love to hang and talk ht and hifi. I'm in Milwaukee area.
Great sub!
Hello Audio Electronics how do you the SVS SB 4000 is a great sub?
Thanks, good review.
I ordered mine last week Saturday, 05-29-21, two days before Memorial Day and it will be here today, 06-03-21. I ordered right from SVS and I got the plain finish because I don’t like how easy the glossy attracts fingerprints. I got a smoking deal at the outlet for 1099.00, $1154.00 with tax and I talked to someone by phone after the order and their customer service seems like it will be first rate. I was told to constantly check the outlet because products move quickly. I love their upgrade program, prices when you add two subs and their 5 year warranty.
I’m coming from Rels, T3, T5i, R328 and T7i so it shall be interesting and my purpose isn’t home theater it will be two channel only. I like the tune ability with this sb4000 and I already downloaded the app. My intended speaker will probably be Magnepan 1.7i, I’m currently using Kefq350 and I might try a pair of Kef Ls50 metas.
Absolutely no one on CZcams or in any reviews or forums could answer my questions of speed and performance with a flat panel speaker like Magnepans, which are extremely quick. I know how Rels perform because I have had Magnepan 1.6QR in the past and used them with Rels. Rels are seamless to integrate and sound great, but lack the output that I crave unless I put up a ton more in cash and in the end, I just may have to do this, but for now I have never owned an SVS sub or speakers and I welcome the experience and the tweak ability.
I got rid of my last set of highend speakers because I don’t want any speaker with a built in amp, because they won’t do what a separate sub and speakers will. Rels go up in price drastically from $2500 to $7500 for the top in Rel S25, which is insane, but it’s a Rel. I wanted balanced inputs to work with my preamp. All components that will be used will be Audio Research, VPI and Aurender. I’m looking forward to the experience and I enjoy your reviews, simple and to the point.
Gluboost in black will fix that crack. Had damage on PB-4000 and used Gluboost black to fix it. Had to buff it out with fine buff pads. Search CZcams and it will show you how. Especially for a good find like this!
5000+ Congratulation
Hey, thanks!
I was thinking about mentioning it but spaced. I’m still pretty amazed, thinking 5,000 people subscribe to my channel.
Thanks my friend!
Hi Dustin
How does it compare to that Rythmik 15" sealed you reviewed before?
Thanks
eventho i know a high excursion isnt good for the sound of a speaker or sub, i still want a really high excursion subwoofer just to look at it and show off
Would you recommend going with 2 sb 3000 then 1 sb 4000?
Cool review. I’m still waiting to see what you think about the Lexicon/Arcam receiver. That dd12 it’s interesting too. I used to have the dd18 and it was too much for my room. The 12” I never heard
Yes I have lexicon mc-12 no review about this product
But I find then awesome
I wonder how it compares to the 16 ultra I’ve heard the sb16 stop on a dime in terms in accurate wonder if you can tell in person
How did it compare to hsu uls-15 mk2
As an SVS owner I can say they do make clean sounding subs.👍
Hello Retro Force what crossover slope does your SVS subwoofer use?
@@patrick7799 you can use the free SVS app and adjust the PEQ, my current roll off is around 18Hz @84db?
@@retroforce6919 oh! My current roll off is 196DB
@@patrick7799 you're insane... talk about hearing loss lol
@@patrick7799 I'm running a smaller sub, it's the PB1000 pro x2
You must be using low setting cuz the bass sounds quiet in the demo
You're never going to find a sub at best buy that beats ID brands like PSA, HSU, or Rythmik who don't need to margin in Best Buys cut of the margins. Good review!
SVS has definitely crept up in price, but I definitely think that was intentional, so they can sell to brick and mortar stores like BB.
SVS is still one of the best values in subwoofers, especially if you are like me and you put a premium on looks and quality.
Rythmik, PSA and HSU sure do have some awesome subs also and each brand has their own set of priorities.
Great time to be a home theater bass junkie!
@@blazermdx agreed.
Dustin, I scored a 7 speaker (w/ 2 towers) klipsch system with a Sony receiver for 1k even. Bought it from Offerup. Granted it’s last gen Klipsch.
I’d like to utilize my towers but I hear most audio will come from the center channel. I haven’t set up the system yet FYI.
Congratulations on the new speakers! Sounds like you got a pretty good deal, especially since the set came with 7 speakers and a receiver! What models?
Most of the dialogue for movies and video games will come through the center speaker but that doesn’t mean you won’t be utilizing the towers. With proper crossovers, you can have the towers carry the low end, if you aren’t using a sub, which will allow the center to do what it does best, provide clear and detailed voices.
Again, congrats! Everyone loves new speaker day!
@@blazermdx Towers: R-28F, Bookshelfs: R-15M, Sub: R-112SW. I paid $180 for the sub by itself. The sub is 12 in and is a bit overkill for my apartment.
Thanks again for the information. Because of you and your channel I got into this hobby. Offerup has been a HUGE $$ saver. I'm surprised more people don't get into used audio.
Center: R-25C
What were your thoughts on the sb4000 vs 16 ultra? Don't think I heard you say in the video
They are VERY similar. The SB16 Ultra is more powerful and will have more output but I bet it’s closer than most would think.
Unfortunately, with the size of my room, neither of these awesome subs were sweating through anything I tested them with. I don’t think I’d ever be able to tell a big difference between the two, in a blind test.
If you have a larger room, I would probably go with the SB16, as I don’t like leaving anything to question, when it comes to subs. With that said, at the price of the 16, I’d probably grab the sealed 18” Rythmik.
Too many great subwoofer options!
I caught between duel svs pb3000's and duel monolith thx 15 subs. What are your thoughts?
Unfortunately, I don’t have any personal experience with either model so I can’t tell you for sure.
From everything I’ve read, sounds like the Monolith will have the performance advantage but it’s also larger.
If I were in your shoes, and trying to decide between those two subs, I’d probably go with the Monolith.
Either sub will likely meet or exceeded your expectations. Let me know which one you grab, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for stopping by, my friend!
Somebody will snap this real quick.I am fan of Svs.I have the Svs Sb 300 , thinking of upgrading it to Sb4000.
I’ll be sad to see this one go, Nana! SVS makes some awesome subs so if you ever get one, be sure to let me know. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
See you around, Nana!
If you ship I’ll buy it when your done.
I'd need two so......Pb 2K or 3K.........or maybe Monolith 12s
What do U think, is the DD12 better than the SB4000 ?
Which one goes deeper and is more precise?
Thanks
To be totally honest with you, I actually preferred the DD12 in my room. The SB4000 is a fantastic sub with possibly a little more depth but the DD12 blended just beautifully with my system. I have a small room though, so take that into consideration.
I’m guessing, in a blind test, you’d be hard pressed to distinguish the two. Both are excellent subs!
That's a great deal! The msrp on that sub now is $1900
That last SVS price increase was quite large! I should have just held it a little longer, so I could have gotten my money back out of it.
I lost $250 on this sub/video. I can’t keep it up, if I lose that money on every purchase. Haha
@@blazermdx but with that damage on it and the hardships that people are experiencing because of the inflation you’re not gonna make that much money off of it
Good morning I recently bought 1 sennheiser ambeo soundbar which I am really happy with. I would like to add 1 subw model svs sb4000 or svs pb4000 for more bass. I would like to ask you if by inserting one of these two models I can improve the bass sound more or given the high costs of the models described above, I only keep the soundbar? we are talking about € 2399 and € 2899. for this reason I ask you if by adding 1 subw I really gain from listening to both music and movies. Thanks for your answers
That’s a nice soundbar, congrats!
If you use the soundbar for movies and you have the room, I would definitely go with the PB4000. I like sealed subs but that’s mostly due to the smaller cabinets. If you have the room, the PB4000 will have more output.
And yes, adding a high quality sub to that awesome soundbar, will definitely improve the experience. Just make sure you spend time in choosing the best placement for the sub and dialing in the proper sub settings.
I forgot my room and 27 mt 3 do you think that the svs sb 4000 subwoofer is too excessive or is it ideal for this size?
I'm not sure about this video.
SVS has (in my experience) cleaner and better tuned subwoofers than even rythmic and PSA.
And if quantity 8s the be all end all of your system it should be a ported sub from the get go.
still have this sub?
This subs long gone, at this point:/
Kpaceguy just sold both his a day or so ago!! Don't know how much he sold them for.
I trust that he’s upgrading, though. He seems like a cool dude and he obviously knows his stuff so I’m sure the sale was to jump up a step or two, in terms of performance.
Always nice to have you around, Les!
@@blazermdx He is hinting at REL's but???
Please review subwoofer less than 200USD
Thank you for the suggestion! I usually focus on the used market but I do buy new products every once and a while, when there’s a good sale.
If you have a $200 budget, I’d check out the Klipsch R-12SW when it goes on sale and the Polk PSW10 can also be had for under $200. Another solid option if you can stretch the budget a little is the Monoprice SW-15.
Or check out your local used market, where you can usually maximize your buying power:)
That's two subs you have damaged!! LOL!! Should change your name to "Wreck it Dustin"!! LOL!!!
Pretty sad about that.. Dropping that HDMI cable onto the cone of the Rythmik was even worse. I was so pissed. Haha
Unfortunately I think you will take a hit this time!
I just might:/ It’s alright though, I’m used to it unfortunately.
I am more sad that I damaged this beauty though. Luckily, in-room, you’d never notice the hairline crack.
Just hard to lift 102 lbs. into the back seat of my little car. Haha
@@blazermdx I can just imagine how you feel!! BUT - you will always know it's there! And so will anyone that buys it! Most people shouldn't care though - you are buying it for the sound!!
In a move - the movers cracked my piano gloss on my credenza - drove me nuts!! BUT after a few years you can't see it and I forget about it!!
@@blazermdx 102 lbs.? I lift that every time I take a pee!! LOL!! I love your videos!!!
What a rip-off!!
