I’m a proud owner of Dual PB16 Ultra Subwoofers and I gotta say, they scare me quite a bit lol
Our Little Cakery I just received mine on a pallet! Does yours sit right on floor or did ya get the rubber pegs to go with it?? I can’t decide where to put mine thinking of putting it right behind listening area to avoid rattling tv an stuff by it...
Yes I own one from they made them available traded in my pb13 and got it shit catches me off guard at times lol
@@chanceroach731 get the isolation legs svs sells trust me they makes a big difference takes care of a lot of rattling in yur walls
Found this channel while searching out AV info. The presentation and details of the reviews are always on point.
I love these subs, but as you mentioned, the port noise is disappointing, your one of the few reviewers who actually point it out👍.
It's more obvious in my recording:
czcams.com/video/ueyqSLOmaeI/video.html
Is it solved by running in all ports open mode? My fingers on the trigger but i wanna make sure for 2.5k I am not dissapointed
@@johnrussell7385 I would check out the the monolith m250 if that's your budget
@@alexthesaxman6219 I've had the pb16ultra for about 2 months now been very impressed except of the low end bass being so loud it hurts literally and my entire house shaking even with isolators
@@johnrussell7385 that's cool I dig mine too just wish there was no port noise, extended mode seems to help if your having that problem.
Nice review!!! Wish I had some extra change for this "Earthquake in a Box".
great subwoofer, great review. I have a pb4000 and that's awesome so I can imagine the performance from your multi pb16 setup....very sweet and love your reviews. great work mate
I should be getting the pc4000 in. Looking forward it.
Wow!! I’m jealous 👍👍
Shane did you get the SoundPath Isolation system for that beast? Great review. Congratulations on teaming up with Audioholics!
Nice review, subwoofer looks like a beast. Been saving up to buy the SVS PB-2000 for my home theater.
You'll love it 👍👍
you'll be shookith!
SVS PB2000 is a fantastic sub for the money. A few right now are in SVS' outlet for $549 shipped. They'll be gone in a few hours. Just sayin...
I wish I could afford two of those , I have two pc2000's and they are amazing.
great video..love your work.
Ugh I can't wait to finish my basement. Love SVS. Rocking a PB and SB 1000 right now in a couple of my rooms. Will get the big boys for the basement.
The Edge of Tomorrow is one of my favorite things to use to test. Freaked my gf out.
Appreciate your time and Knowledge very well explained...
These are beast subs. I have two. I change which mode every now an then depending how I feel. I have been running sealed lately as I feel all around for music and movies, it sounds accurate and movie theater type bass. If you want absolute loud then open all ports and it will blast you. The only down side is these do tax you with finding all the rattles your room can possibly have/they create tremendous pressure in the room. When I tested the edge of tomorrow, my wife came downstairs to the theater room and ask what I was doing? The whole house is shaking...😁
Lol nice! Surprised my upstairs neighbor never says anything. They’re always so friendly 🤔
I´m looking to build a 2.1 system, using Dali Spektor 1 as main speakers . Could you please recommend some active subwoofers able to drive the Dalis, I´m trying to be minimalist here, for space reasons, and still get some decent sound without the need of any external amps. Thanks in advance
I know you'll lose a subsonic frequency but shouldn't opening up that last port give the airflow needed to resolve the port noise?
Hi shane what did you prefer with svs middle port in extension or standard mode ?
Excellent review!!
Thanks! Only took me 9 months to do 😂
That's a beautiful beast.
Are there any other subs in the same price and performance levels that would not chuff on that opening scene to Edge of Tomorrow?
Nice! I'd love to sit in on a demo of this beast. Years ago I sat in on a demo at a friend's and the movie playing was The Matrix. Don't recall the model but the brand was Martin Logan. I imagine this SVS would be just as if not more impressive.
They make a sub called balanced force. It's got dual 12's. Almost the same size as the SVS. I almost grabbed that but figured the SVS would be more capable.
I noticed port noise with my PB-16 too in extended mode. I'm willing to bet that removing the port plug from the middle port and doing standard mode will decrease the port's air velocity a bit and mitigate the port noise in the lower frequencies. Haven't tried it yet though.
That was my theory I've replied to many I'm waiting for confirmation so I can place order
Interesting, I've seen a lot of reviews on this sub, but I wanted to hear your take cus I think your videos and take are cool, surprized you're the only one I've heard talk about the port noise though, and heard it in the recording I thought, but didn't otice it with Zeos's review. wonder what the differnce is, something in the avr or audesy config maybe?
It happens when it's pushed hard on extended mode.
Great vid, i know u got 16 ultra n sb 4000, i really thinking of getting pb 4000 only small room 6m by 4m do u think it b worth going up to 16 ultra also for mostly movies and games is the ported version much better then the sealed vision? As room space is a lil issue but i can make it work
The 16 destroys the 4000 for low end extension. Worth it for movies. But if your tight on space the 4000 will suit you perfectly fine.
What subwoofer cable u recommend....
Always great reviews. Will you be getting your hands on and reviewing the hw n950 from Samsung anytime soon?
I haven't heard back from them. They never give me anything.
@@therealshanelee that's annoying. I'd rather trust your honest review/s as the cynic tells me some sites are paid by Samsung.
I love SVS subwoofer but need to made some 36inc SVS subwoofer and the biggest magnetic will be much more better than your gut. It's will blow your mind...Thanks for your information two thumbs up.. 😎😎😎😎😎
Great review shane what speakers are you useing?
Thanks man. M&K S-150's.
Sliders are your best friend when trying to move heavy subwoofers around.
Svs pb 4000 and 16 serie are crazy subwoofers 😍 i love it
hello, I'm wondering would it sound cleaner/ better to have all 3 ports open vs in extended in regards to port noise?
You don't get port noise with all three open that's correct.
I like that marantz 8805. Will you be doing a review on that marantz 8805?
czcams.com/video/jVMV96oRP6s/video.html
I have Dual PB-16s in the Front. And 1 PB-3000 in the back. I may have these things running at about half way up, and they are already scary. Can't imagine pumping them up on Edge of Tomorrow! My screen may come off the wall. LOL.
Does this make sense placing the sub to the side of the seating position and not pointing toward the position? Or are these shots just for show?
Whichever ways sounds best is the one that works best.
I have 2, I use them in extended mode.
Nice review. I use 2 PB 13 Ultra's. Now it's the PB 4000. I'm still not use to that name? I love PB 13 Ultra's!!!! I must admit. I am thinking of buying 2 PB 16's?!
Do it! You won’t be disappointed.
Hey shane have you reached out to JTR or Power Sound Audio about reviewing there subwoofers also ?
He may return the PB16 if he does 😅
Still haven't heard back.
I would give him a call he always answers the phone.
When I have to move mine I get it up on a couple of furniture dollies.
Does anyone boost the AVR gain after Audyssey set up or just turn it up with sub volume.
Boost it at the avr
I have the SVS pb-12 plus/2, i love it for movies
Great subs.
SpareChange and by the way i have the upgraded verson😊
Damn dude, Is that the original blue moon from before they started making it with the orange?
Shane, thinking of going with the PB-4000 (dual) they would be going into a somewhat small room, but what are your thoughts on this sub?
I've got a video posted of the sealed models. Those are solid subs. The PB versions would be the ones I go for.
I have 2xpb16 and 2xpb3000 very happy but you always want more. run extended mode
Wow that's nice
The review information provided is detailed and informative. Just too much sub for me. But great review!
2499? Did the price go up by so much?
wish I could afford one but my Bic Acoustech PL-200 II and Dayton Audio SUB-1500 15" are getting the job done ;)
I will upgrade to twin PB-16s but I do love my Acoustech Pl-200s.
Dont sleep on that acoustech pl200 just dont try to over push it but it can do some things
Hey Shane, love the channel, big fan of Audioholics. I was wondering when your review of the AV8805 was coming?
About another week or so. The heat wave here is keeping me out of my theater room so I haven’t gotten time to set it up.
cant wait, i am really looking forward to this one. i spoke briefly with gene a while ago before it came out, and he said its a beast, not in so many words.
I currently have an SB16 Ultra. Is it worth the trade for a PB16 Ultra?
No go jtr
How did it sound for music?
Sounds good when sealed.
Boom Boom Boom, can you hear that B.A.S.S. Bass..
I have the svs sb 16 u. 😀👍
Poor neighbours...
😂
Screw them.😂😂
You should test if there is port noise if all 3 ports are opened.
On that particular scene there is no matter what I've tried.
Edge of tomorrow intro scene is notorious for chuffing on subs with smaller diameter ports. In my diy enclosure I have all 3 slotted ports at 7 1/4" x 3 1/2" to minimizes port chuff if not eliminate it completely.
I don't know why but this beast scares me lol
I have the SVS PB-12 plus/2
How Much better are the pb 16 ultra against the pb-12 plus/2
These should give you lower bass. Plus you can use the app to EQ the sound to your room.
Svs sb2000 or jl d110. Help me
Svs for movies. JL for music.
@@therealshanelee thanks
I got a 18” subwoofer and it’s way overkill and only payed 500 for it if I ever buy this sub I’m going to get the sealed box
Which subwoofer is that?
Hi, Shane, how do I get my own? Got 💰money with me.
Click the link in my description. It’ll take you right to it. Thanks for checking out the vid!
the price must go down cost here in denmark 4000dollars no thx :D sadly
how the f do you get a lower frequency response from plugging in all the ports? I think you goofed mate
I don't see where I say that.
SpareChange My bad. Checked their website and apparently you get a lower frequency response by plugging all ports as opposed to having all open
I think you mean having one port plugged. Not all.
@@therealshanelee yes but apparently it plays lower in sealed as opposed to standard mode
@@nikissurprise6372 It's called room gain generally speaking when referring to lower HZ at +/-3db levels. And using port plugs to turn a large ported enclosure into a sealed one, generally will have lower extension because of the size of enclosure being significantly larger than the SB ones.
Just one of those weird things about acoustics...
They are ''good sounding'' subs, that's until you hear a Paradigm, Velodyne DD, or JL Audio Fathom
Even with that beast you need to run duels, otherwise your stuck with peaks and nulls.
I’m safe. I’ve got 3
My God subwoofer bass killer😳😳😳😳😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😳😳😳.
SpareChange now that's what I'd love to have, I have dual PB-2000's and the Ultra bookshelves for front L/R, also for my surrounds and the Ultra center. No room for back surrounds though but I'm ordering a pair of the Prime Elevation on Friday to have a 5.2.2 setup, can't wait. :) Oh and I'm rocking the Epson 5040ub.
Sweet setup!
You have three of these SVS PB16 Ultra's in your home theatre? WOW! Do you like surround sound with your bass, lol! 😂
Not sure why everyone picks on SVS PB-16 for Edge of Tomorrow???
a) that frequency hits lower than the published range of the sub
b) its 10 seconds
c) you will not find that level on anything else, in any other movie.
Its like saying.. My Porche makes a crashing noise when I drive over 200 MPH. :)
I own a pair of them, and I can't find anything to complain about, but know this.. if you play EOT scene enough, you will blow that thing.
Wanessa Woods hahaha
'Has the AV8805'
'Uses RCA inputs for the sub'
🤔🤔🤔
I didn’t have a 50ft XLR lying around.
@@therealshanelee Don't worry. You would need a cable run of well over 100ft before a balanced XLR would have any sort of benefit over a standard RCA.
"Only $2,500"
brass tax left youtube?
To much stress for him.
2 gs yeah ok
Go DIY. $1200 for my dual 18" in a 66x24x18 enclosure that will make the PB16 look like child's play. I do give it to SVS for the nice gloss piano finish with a nice app.
@@Voltis-5 dont have time for that
It ain't for everyone. So your best bet is to go with the Monolith 15. Half the price of the PB16 and can go toe to toe with it. Go check out it.
I dont get why you guys take this route when theres way better options for way cheaper i got a crown xls 2500 2400rms hooked to a yamaha receiver with two armericAn bass xfl 15s in a custom box all for about 2700$ sounds amazing hits over 125db at the couch ive tried svs my new set up blows it away
I've explained in the video about other options and why you may choose going with SVS. And hitting a certain spl level is nice. But I'm not looking to be loud. I could get a way cheaper option than your setup and hit 125db. But it'll be lacking in more important areas for my usage.
DIY will always perform better for less money my friend.
That's fine. I'm the person that'll spend the money to get what I need now than to spend the time building something by hand.
SpareChange same. I was replying to the OP
No fucken wheyyyy. I have pb13 ultra and pb4000 and 13 is mouch beter quality build
Lowrider magazines ad bout Apex audio and viva store in Monrovia 91016 God bless
What is the minimum spec AVR you would recommend for this subwoofer and 2 Definitive Technology BP9040's and 1 CS9060 center channel?
Any modern receiver would run them fine. But the more power you have the cleaner your Def Techs will sound.
