Love the video Channa! I'm REALLY glad my home is a single story as I would have no desire lugging up Dual PB16's up a flight of stairs. Glad you are enjoying the PB4000. Now you see why I chose to purchase the Dual PB16's. They were a nice upgrade to my aging 4 Klipsch RSW-15's, they dig much deeper, have more authority below 30Hz and I love the SVS App. Keep up the great work my friend.
bhosada
I can't hear you anymore after the demo 😮 Great Vid!
You rock as well Shane, love your channel, between you and techno dad I've started to grow my 4k collection and build a home theatre I'm happy with 👌
Thick Cloudz awesome man! Thanks 👍👍
Awsome video! I’m decided I’m going for it! Im upgrading my system and now still need to decide between ultra towers or bookshelves. Absolutely love the channel !
Great review. Svs should be proud and gift you these sub.
You blew the speakers in my phone 😂 awesome video! I've never seen a woofer move like that!
Love to see you playing in the box!
Love the moog, very informative video.
my god, talk about a torture test !!! that was awsome and unreal my friend ! people dont realize how powerful and dynamic a synth like that can be when played live like that.
there is literally no limit to the top end. ive never seen woofer move that fast and controlled, and stay in 1 piece ! lol,,, good work on all your videos pal, keep up the good work.
and btw, ive owned my p4- 4000 for about 6 months now, and it gets better everytime i listen to it...it truely is bass so deep and clean, like ive never heard before.
it will hit like somebody dropped a lead bowling ball in the floor one minute , then gently puff out some light mid bass strokes with finesse the next.
dont see how bass could really get much better than what it produces..take care
Hi! Just wanna ask regarding connecting cables using XLR connection. I had yamaha cx-a5100 with 2 subs outs and svs PB4000 that has two XLR subs in left and right. My question where I'm going to connect the cables from Preamp to left or right or both left & right on SVS PB4000?
Techno dad love love your vids keep up the good honest work! Any way currently running two Klipsch r112sw’s and enjoy them but would like to move to one woofer. In your opinion would the pb4000 give me the same, less, or more output then the two r112sw’s? Thanks in advance!
Thats a bad boy ! Fire 💪 🔥 im enjoying my two pb svs 2000 12s! Cant imagine how those subs sound
Very creative way to demonstrate the sub's cone excursion. Awesome video.
I love your style of demo. Can you demo any of the power sound audio woofers? Really contemplating between the pb4000 or a psa v1811.
Now THAT'S a demo!!! And there goes all the walls of my house.
Great video as always! Have you tried these with music??? I’m a sealed sub guy myself... but I keep hearing ported subs like the pb- 4000 are great for music too! Would love to hear your thoughts and your input.
Awesome demo. Thanks
Thank you for watching Benny!!
Just got this subwoofer last Thursday. Been trying to figure out how to pair it with my Denon x4400h and audyessy. First time I ran audyessy it netured the sub. Second time after reading some stuff online it came to life. I'm sure i can get it to play much better after tweaking it some more.
Yeah, I have to turn it down to -20 for regular tv watch or it’s just too load.
Amazing review bro. Sick. I’m planning on picking up pb16’s, but man, this makes me just wanna buy dual pb4000’s. Already got ultra towers, surrounds, center and elevations. All I need are the subs. Right now I’m using klipsch subs. Time to upgrade.
very Nice, very detail description. I Love this review. thank's a lot brother. Love From Indonesia
Thank you! So glad you found the video!!
Awesome video dude, that was definitely some crazy excursion from the pb 4000. When you get around to it I'd like to know what's the output difference in terms of dB versus regular mode and sealed. I'm sure sealed is more than loud enough though, so I'm thinking that's the only mode most people might use to get the best of both worlds as far as output along with that super low bass extension.
Hey techno dad I have a svs pb ultra 16 and two tower will give a good deal to let it go
fast response, think that you start to nibble on the 4000 watt peak, crazy to see that woofer work so hard, wow what is the lowest freqeuncy. I dare not fully use the sub yet, work in progress , what a great and crazy demo 😎😎😎😮
Best Sub Demo Yet!!!
Thank you!!
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
Techno dad! Can you please send me a link where to buy a subdude auralex that would fit my new beast pb16 ultra. Thanks
This is the one I use for the PB-4000 which should work for yours but there might be a little hang over. Should work just fine though - amzn.to/2BMOUrP
Was going to buy SPL 150 Klipsch but debating buying this now!!! Any opinions for either side?
I'd love to know his opinion on this too. I currently own 2 Klipsch SPL-150. My room is untreated though. Not to mention, with the price of this sub, I could have purchased 3 Klipsch 15"s LOL!!. But I want to know if it's worth upgrading from my dual Klipsch SPL-150 to SVS-PB4000 too!
Great vid as always man, couple of questions though, first off is there a particular reason you went with this decoupling mat instead of svs's soundpath isolation system, and second is there any tradeoff in using the extended mode, because if not, i don't see why include any of the two other modes, lower frequency response is always better right?
Ahmed, with Extended mode, you lose some of the output in exchange for more depth. It allows for flexibility as to what your goals are for the subwoofer.
is this sub still in one piece and working?
Do you notice the decoupling device helps on concrete floors with carpet?
I have 2 Pb-4000 on the floor in my carpeted basement. It gets boomy at times, I was thinking about buying the SVS decouplers, but figured if I am essentially on a concrete floor (with carpet and carpet pad in between) it won’t make any difference...?? And they aren’t cheap.
Any experience on this sort of set-up?
I have one PB2000 adding a second. Had boominess at times and shacking in the kitchen. My HT room is in the basement on the concrete floor with carpet added Auralex Pad now it is night and day. No more complaints from the wife in the kitchen and boom!
Raul Gutierrez thanks just ordered 2 sets.
@@335i101 Good Movie to check for boominess, the start of the Blu-ray VALKYRE the bombing. Make sure you keep me informed.
Raul Gutierrez Will do!
Hi Techno dad my room is 16x12x10 what do think about a dual Sb 4000’s? I do like sealed subwoofer!
That would rock, Sami!!
@@TechnoDad I already purchased 2 hours ago a dual SVS Sb 4000’s
Would love to see the same kind of review for a Paradigm X15 since no one has really reviewed that sub. Thank you.
Hey Channa. Love your vids!!
Looking to upgrade my R112sw for one of these bad boys. Would love your opinion if it’s definitely worth the upgrade?
I’ll keep my 112sw for close application & put the PB4000 far
Hi Matthew! I think the PB4000 is a HUGE upgrade from the R112SW. I am actually having SVS send me the PC4000 as the PB4000 is a bit big for my living room. I would not use two different subwoofers for your setup. They need to be the same subwoofers to get the benefit of dual subs.
Techno Dad ok thanks. Ok here’s another thought. In Australia, I can get 2 x Klipsch R115sw for the same price as 1 x pb4000. Or just a bit more 2 x pb3000?? Would that be a better set up?? Thanks mate.
What's so cool Abbott the klipsch subwoofer and whats the difference between this woofer and that i would like to know why i should by a klipsch and why i should by a svs subwoofer
After having both, I would go with the SVS.
Great video man! Awesome subwoofer! Great demonstration! You and the Youthman should make a subwoofer competition video!
Thank you! Yeah, we should! Too bad he lives on the other side of the country, lol! It would be cool though...
Hey TD, you did a sub video where you mentioned two parts of one of the LOTR movie that was good to test you sub. One was the beginning of one of them and one was somewhere in the middle of one of them. Can you repeat that or tell me which video it was in?
Hi! So in the first 5 mins of LORT: Fellowship there’s a sine wave bass drop. Not sure what the other one is...
@@TechnoDad thanks.
this demo is mind blowing! seriously! i never knew what a sub could do until right now! ok i think im signing up for an svs sub. i'm thinking the pb 2000 but i will measure my room to make sure, but since i'm heavily considering dual subs since i hear that is great for balancing the sound and feel, i think i need to keep it reasonable :P
Hi Jim! Yeah, I figured there's no movie that would make the woofer move like that. I shot that part for about 45 mins and afterward, I was a little nauseous. It was pretty intense. I could hear windows in the living room and glasses in the kitchen rattling. It was crazy!
@@TechnoDad oh man that's nuts. I'm excited for when I can finally get an upgraded sub. Thanks as always for the responses
"It was a hellish sight to see" mr Hyde quote
Hello techno dad, I need your advice, I've been asking you lots of questions for the last year and listening to your answers and your videos as I go along with my purchases. So now I just finished paying everything off and finally at the last, I'm ready to buy some subwoofers and most likely one at a time do to funds or depends any deals if I'll get 1 or 2 price wise. I don't have anything set up yet but been stock pile stuff.. lol my list of purchase Denon 4400h, Emotiva xpa 5 gen2, svs ultra bookshelves, svs ultra center, svs ultra surrounds . Now my question to you is my man cave is 16'x15'x8' witch equals to 1920 cubic feet. What would be the best svs subwoofer for me for that hard impact OMG feeling? Thanks for all your amazing videos I've learned a lot from you and I am as green as apple at all this
An analog synth is a great test for speakers! Especially the dreaded square wave!
Yup yup!!
@Techno Dad I'm looking to buy a new subwoofer. In your opinion should I go with the PB 4000 or dual PB 2000s?
Same boat going with Dual PB2000. Two PB2000 = 1PB4000. Tried duals and I will never go back to a single sub.
@@raulgutierrez1501 I'm thinking the same thing and you save a few hundred dollars by going dual 2000s
@@mantodeastudio Going duals is an amazing experience for home theater. SVS subs hold their value.
Maybe in the future, I will trait up to dual PB4000 put I do not feel I need to go any lower in
frequency then 15Hz remember two PB2000 will at an extra 3db not bad!
I’m torn between SVS PB 1000 vs monolith 10..I wanna purchase 2which one u prefer on ur own opinion?
I’ve only had experience with the monolith 12”, but it’s on par performance wise with the PB4000, which is twice the price.
Thanks always luv ur videos
Nice review! I had to turn my phone down lol. Did I miss the RF7III review?
Hi R-Shige! No, the RF7III review is still coming. I have to move the SVS out of the way and see what's up with the RF7IIIs and this sub.
ya this is insane love that piano thing you did sometime remind me sond sound in pinkfloyd very nice
Awesome video I have two of them subwoofer
Nice!
Love your videos I'm after a new cinema setup I'm looking at svs or klipsch I have got Harman/kardon at the moment looking at auto 3b/ Dolby atom I now you got klipsch but what do you think is the best I dont mind spending if it is the best but not ££££ if it's not noticeable different I can't make my mind up I now svs is better for atom I live in the UK
njw18581 I'm looking for the Klipsch in the UK but can't buy it on their website. I have tried Amazon but it says these dealers cannot ship to the UK, so idk what to do.
@@harkisingh www. henleyaudio.co.uk
I only watch movies which mode best standed or extended mode
Try them both and see what you like better. I like extended for movies.
Will it out perform a Klipsch R-115SW ?
Yes.
@@TechnoDad I currently have two of those R-115 SW. 1 in front and 1 in back of my room. I’m going to replace 1 R-115 from the front with either PB 16 Ultra or PB 4000 and leave the other R-115sw in back , I have an L shaped living room no room to put both up front. It sounds great now but want to make it better if I can. I’m thinking the Pb 16 Ultra may be over kill. I’d like your opinion? And the Pb 4000 will be just fine
Question! You mentioned the demo you use for LOTR - which one is it? The opening battle scene in the first film? I'm going to rewatch them all soon, and was curious...though I could just check your older videos too LOL. I recently bought a pb-4000 and won the pb-2000 from the svs fb group! love your videos
Hi Brett! Yes, the first one right at the beginning. When dude cuts the ring. You’re gonna love it with this subwoofer!!
@@TechnoDad oh man, can't wait! I need to rewatch every great LFE movie since getting this thing. I also added the Martin Logan ESL C18 as my center!!
Nice!! Sound like pretty awesome system you have there!
@@TechnoDad yeah....but it doesn't sound right just yet. Trying to mess w/ calibration a bit. My room is a nightmore for Audyssey. I demo'd that LOTR scene and the bass is just too muddy. My SVS is set at -10, 8805 trim at -3. I think its way too high. I only listen at like -22 or -20, so I have noticed its not super clear on the bass notes.
Brett Weinstock dude I agree with you audyessy is a bitch to work with and it's not easy for someone new. I have this subwoofer and a Denon x4400h and that LOTR scene just doesn't really WOW me.
Can you check out some subs from HSU & rythmik?
Hi Rob! I'll check them out!
All my dogs did a massive head tilt
LOL! Awesome!
Man i sure love to listen to a clipping subwoofer sound demo :/
Take that home theater dude!
Not sure what you mean by this Jason
Watched this on my home theater with my own SVS sub.... Yeah I know. :P lol
Me too. Kept my speakers low as I only have a pb2000 but really want to upgrade to the pb4000.
@@ParkviewSinger I got the PB13 Ultra here. Bought it almost a year ago. Loving it since
I want to buy the PB-4000, but I also love the idea of running dual PB-2000's.... ugh first world problems
Decisions, decisions
How about dual PB-4000’s???😂
NOTIFICATION SQUADDD 🔥
Boom!! Twins in the house!!!
Great my house went down 2feet due to liquefaction !!!!
Still entertaining in 2021 🤣🤣🤣
Nice!
Can you Review the Best Tower Speakers of all time Cerwin Vega XLS 215
WHAT??? Oh yeah, nice video. This sub is a beast, but has a zero WAF factor...
Be careful with that Thing! You live in Mammoth and might make the ground unstable 😲
Wow Channa....So Ironic, seeing you do this review. I've been researching for hours the last few weeks, and just bought 2 of the SB 4000's the other day. Supposed to arrive next Monday. Already having second thoughts watching Home theater dude's videos as well as yours. My house is an open floor plan with my TV room opening to the kitchen so I have about 4500 CF of open space, not to mention Travertine tile floors. I'm going to demo the SB 4000's though and give them a really good test before I make up my mind. Wish me luck!
Hi!! Good luck with the demo of the SB4000s!! I'm sure you will love the bass. I have around 4000 CF of air as well. Living room, dining room, and opens up to a stairwell and kitchen.
@@TechnoDad So, what do you think about the SB 4000's with our big rooms versus the PB 4000? I'm hoping I will get the base sound in my movies and music I really want. Concerned the Sealed woofers will get lost in the large space. I love the PB 4000's but just wish they were not so damn huge. Either way, I will be going with 2 subs. I wonder if the SB 16 ultras would also be a good idea? Have not even received the SB 4000's and i'm already ready to upgrade LOL
its sound like 150 eur random subwoofer so why so expensive
You'll have to experience it in person...
@@TechnoDad i had one so i know
Hey no help from the Kid ?
ok sorry he was not home lol
My iphone speaker blew. Thanks.
Wow my iPhone couldn’t handle it. 😂
They are good but the 4000 series got way to much problems with their amps, I'm on my second amp naw and it still cause problems, talked to Ed but I said that for now I can live with it, they produce good sound and output but for quality I prefer swedish Xtz for quality never ever had any problems with those.
That's strange, I haven't heard of that.
@@TechnoDad yes they had some problems but overall it's a pretty outrageous sub
I haven’t had any issues with my Pb4000. To each his own. There’s bound to be amp failures but SVS should take care of u.
My iPad just blew up.
Your niegbours must luv you
Hi Rob! No neighbors, LOL!!
@@TechnoDad lucky you
So much for the myth about ported being slow.
Yeah, it's pretty quick!
This demo won't effect the speakers of anyone watching even if we are listening through Genelecs. Your camera's ability to record those low frequencies from the Moog VCO's just isn't there.. But it is interesting to see the cone movement.
I recorded the audio from the Moog into my computer from the Moog's headphone jack. So you should be able to get all of it. I mixed in the mic sound to get the in room shaking. I think it came out quite well.
*Ears bleeding* I can't hear anything from the speakers or subwoofer. 😜
Sounds like a fart lol
i heard huge farts
That was bad@ss
Thank you Michael!
this thing is a fucking toy fore this money i can buy real speakers and get louder
