This could definitely be a part of the best home theater system of 2019. The subwoofer review was after weeks of use.

I have a 12x14 room and have the 7705 and monolith x11 I need dual subs and my budget allows for either 2 svs pb2000 pro or 2 svs sb 3000 I do both movies and music. Wich would you recommend? I have a suare room and 8 foot ceiling. What would you recommend?
I'm a truck driver and I put one in my truck, I got the SVS sb3000 hooked it up in the truck with a pair of Polk audio shelf speakers and damn this has insane power
Aaron Chapman can you please do a video
That sounds incredible!! I've spent many a night in my dad's truck. I thought having radio in the bunk was awesome, lol!
Your best review yet, keep up the good work man...Villaman!
That was an excellent review, you are a master communicator!
I have two pb 3000 wow they are amazing. Great review. one of your best so far, had me lmao.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How are they for movies . Do you recommend pb3000 or sb 3000
âȘWe felt the 6.9 earthquake in Lake Elsinore for about 20 seconds, just a few minutes ago. But I had just made adjustments to my dual SVS SB3000 subwoofers in my home theatre system and I thought, "Yes, now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" :-)âŹ
I watched the review using my macbook pro speakers and I have to say the subs didn't sound impressive at all
Good review Villaman. I enjoyed it. I have this SB3000 in for review and I've also been impressed so far.
Thanks! Itâs a seriously impressive sub
Iâm buying 2 of these thanks to the both of you for your reviews! I canât wait to get them! Thanks guys!
Awesome, man. Have fun with it!
@@tHAvIlLaMaN thanks again! I have done a ton of debating on which sub(s) to get and Iâm certain these in dual will provide the experience I want! Iâll let you know what I think when they are up and running!
I have the SB 3000 and love it! It can go way more than I want to listen to!
Great review! Now I want this sub from all of the great feedback its getting. I've always been a sealed sub lover.
I have one and it's amazing! Did you snag one for yourself?
I'm running dual SB-3000's, INCREDIBLE!
I just ordered an sb4000 and will get another one next year.
I'm so glas I didn't buy this sub as a lot of bullshit reviews claimed perfomance was almost identical to the sb4000 but the reason I am upgrading is my monitor audio gold subs would bottom out on certain scenes and if I had bought this sub on the word of those reviews and had it bottom out too I would have been devastated.
Thank you so much for mentioning it in this video.
Great review!
Great review thanks for the good work. May I ask what size room you are reviewing this sub in ?
I am wondering if I need 1 , 2 or the larger SB-4000? my room is about 3500 cu ft. I like the smaller foot print and I am certain my wife will like the smaller one as well. I currently have a small 8" Velodyne ported sub and this SB3000 is about the same size . thanks
Yes Villaman. Big up. ported, better suited for movies, sealed, better suited for music. I have the sb-3000. righteous
i love my dual sb 3000's. I can't imagine anything better for my ht room.
Thinking about getting 2 of these was going to get 2 hsu vtf-2 mk5 but after installing my new 7.0 system dont have as much space as I thought how do you think 2 of these sound compared to the ported hsu
THANKS GREAT REVIEW
compared to pb 2000 and pb3000 . bass than can be felt?
Villa an can you answer my ? Should I upgrade from dual sub 3000 to dual 4000 or get a third sub 3000
Hello (France ) svs sb-3000 / svs sb 4000 ???
Where did you get the wall decor?... Thanks for the review....
Villa Man, please I am looking for a dual sub system in a 2 channel music set up with an NAD M33 and B&W 804D speakers. Good, tight, and responsive for music?
Really enjoy your videos, keep it up! I have been trying to decide between SB 3000 and the monolith 12 thx ultra. Which would you recommend for home theater?
Glad to hear it! For home theater I would recommend the monolith. It has a lot more visceral output for watching movies
Out of the topic comparison . Between the Rel 1508 Predator vs SVS 3000 I wonder which is good for HT. I dont care about the price. I prefer cleaner tighter faster bass. What do you suggest. Please help. Thank you!
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 is it worth the extra few hundred dollars?
Also would like to know
Hey mister under_vilman how does this compare to klipsch 300 W subwoofer?
I'm more of a two channel listener, but wanting to upgrade my home theater I currently have a little Bic America F-12 but definitely want something tighter this seems like the proper upgrade for my room for sure.
If possible try use Rew in your subs for us know whats the response to compare with lines of svs subs.
im just figuring out which Sub i should buy.SB-2000pro, PB-2000pro or a SB-3000. im only considering the SB-Version because of its size. i have a Living room 15ft wide. 20 feet Long. while the left wall is more or less open to a dining room. the sub is going to be on the right back corner. with the SBs my concerns are that they may dont give enough "wrooom" and "earthquake" to the room. im mainly watching movies. anybody suggestions?
Excelente vĂdeo. đđ
Thanks!
LOVE SVS! Iâm itching for an upgrade from my dual PC-12 Plus setup.
Yea? Which sub would you get to replace them?
Is the sb3000 the Goldilocks of svs's subs?
Could you try the PB-1000, Might be unnecessary since you've got the PB-3000. But if you could make a deal out with SVS or buy it yourself, I and probably a lot of other people would appericate it. Never really seen any good reviews of it and it's one of the craziest 10 inch home theater subs out there. in my room which is about 1400 - 1500 ish cubic feet, I get it to do about 117 dB at 32 Hz, and 109 at 24 Hz. I'd say that's impressive for a 10 inch which isn't even that expensive. Anyways thanks for the quality videos! And also do you prefer sealed or ported subs? I know sealed is apparently tighter, fast and more accurate, had a sealed 8 a year ago. It was exactly how people describe sealed sub but really tight subs, like 6,5 inch subs and below doesn't sound that pleasing to me. I'd rather use ported for both movies and music, let's say the PB-100 since i was asking about it and got it myself, It's not inaccurate, slow or anything. I find "loose" bass or soft bass more pleasing that listening to extremely tight sounding subs. Also it's tuned to like 22 Hz it's extremely flat and it produces 40 Hz and below better than the SB-1000 or SB-2000 would do. People complain about it sounding "boxy" but i don't notice it at all. I've tried the PB-1000 sealed, it got the same difference as when you did the PB-3000 sealed vs ported. My problem with it being sealed is that you lose a little bit of that magic the port is doing, The low lows almost disappear completely. Also if you're doing a 2.1 with a ported sub, the towers/bookshelves will add the "tightness" you lose with nothing running it sealed or having a sealed subwoofer.
How does the SB-3000 compare to the PB-3000 in sealed mode when it comes to music? Would you say that the PB-3000 is a better all rounder than the SB-3000?
I do think the PB is a better all rounder than the SB. They only downside is that itâs much bigger. The PB has a very convincing sealed mode. This is the music demo I did of it czcams.com/video/3xBQrw2e95Q/video.html
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Thank you for taking the time to reply! Your content and advice is extremely helpful, especially for those of us who can't find HiFi stores to demo speakers and subs... Keep up the good work :)
Iâd love to see a head to head of the SVS SB-3000 vs the HSU ULS-15 MK2... I think it would be a pretty great duel both being sealed subs... the way you describe it is a lot like my HSU, my HSU completely pressurizes my 500 square foot theater room... itâs extremely fast but also completely enveloping I think the 15inch driver on the HSU might give the 3000 a little bit of a run for its money. I knocked candles off my upstairs mantel with just one after watching aquaman and shook the wall mounted TVs 2 stories up(theater is in my basement) đ...But I canât say that itâs better or tied with the SVS without you doing a head to head lmao!
I loved it so much I convinced my wife to let me buy a second one! It comes Monday, I think Iâll be visiting your t shirt store soon to get one of those âI will shake my houseâ shirtsđ anyways as per usual love your review! Keep up the great work! You and youthman need to get together for a video soon!
Mike Parana the hsu will outperform the svs across the board. Hsu a much better sub and it cost less. Svs is overpriced for performance plain and simple.
Svs sb3000 or Arendal 1723 1s?
Bought the SB-3000. Just waiting for delivery. Pretty damn exciting! Used to have an Epik Empire a while back, look forward to comparing the sound quality.
What do you think?
L D sounds amazing! Perfect for my room. Still can't believe the output considering the size!
You have to have Edge of Tomorrow Bluray - even without any ATMOS - That Track is outta control!!!
I finally went with the SP 3000 it is a beast. I canât believe it when you hear reviews like this one mention that the SB 3000 is tight what they really mean is that itâs accurate a bomb will sound like a bomb it wonât have that blowed it poured it base like the port it subwoofers they have more booming noise and port noise, which I canât stand
Iam using PB2000 and its sounds amazing.. planning to add PB3000 soon...can I map both for best performance..thanks ..great video đ
I had dual PB200S and upgraded to dual PB3000S , If you can trade up and get two PB3000s it is night and day. Simply put you will be blown away.
@@paulbelanger8296 wow đ
perphas u may try procella audio v21 (dual 21inch subwoofers in a box)
179 Lbs.... ROTFL. Have fun moving that thing, plus no internal amp.
Villa question. On the SB3000 where did you set the frequency response and phase to..?
Frequency response? I have the phase set at 0. I tried other settings and my other best level is at 90degrees.
You should try playing a test tone to see at what setting you have the best response at
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Thanks Villa. I'm looking to swap out my Paradigm Seismic 12 for either the 2000 or 3000 - but not sure the 3000 is worth the extra money. Sorry I meant Cut-off frequency. It's kinda late here in the 6...:)
Living room is rather spacious and opens up to the kitchen on the side.. guessing 50 square metres. What svs model would you recommend? 3000/4000/SB-16?
I have a similar layout and the SB3000 is plenty!
Iâd haft to hear one play before I buy that one Iâm saving up for one that has 2 18s. I like bass
Hey there, great video
Wanted to ask you, I saw another u-tuber review the pb-3000 and compared it to klipsch 15â sub and said the pb-3000 put out cleaner tighter, more powerful bass .. what are your thoughts on that ?
The Klipsch has the surface area advantage, but the SVS has more power for better control. Especially in higher volume/excursion situations, so I could see that being the case. I canât say definitively tho, since Iâve never compared the 2.
Would you recommend two SB3000 or two PB2000 Pro's for movies?
Iâd recommend the 2 Pros. Theyâd have more combined output and better suited for movies. Plus they can mimic a sealed sub while a sealed sub canât mimic a ported one
Did you ever bottom out your JL e112?
I never tried. I could push my system as hard back then because I didnât have an amp
Think the SB-3000 has amp issues. I replaced my amp twice. I'm looking at another brand. What is a good sub in the 1k price range? Right now I disappointed in SVS at the moment. Feel like this sub was rushed and not test thoroughly.đ
Nice review! What trim/channel level did you have the sub and main speakers in your reciever? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I had the sub at -17dB. It was calibrated to -21dB and I added +4. I normally listen to discs at -15dB and streaming at -10dB on the receiver
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Hmm, curious why you listen at such low volumes? -15 would equate to around 60db since 0 is reference (i.e. 75 db). I watch discs at full 75db to hear all the nuances of the movie. My receiver allows me to change the volume setting from relative volume (which is what your receiver is using) to absolute volume (i.e. 0-100).
kevin weithers -15dB (67) not a low volume at all. đź
Itâs really what most people use for their movie volume.
Thanks, it makes sense to me now. 0 is actually 85db (not the 75db I stated earlier). Thus, listening at -10 or -15 is correct. Still getting used to relative volume settings.
@@kevinweithers1223 -15 is not what most people listen to. It depens on what reciver or pre pro you have, Marantz and Denon after Audyssey calibration is offset - 4.5 to 6.5 db and most people want more bass for there movies. After all the installations I have done most systems with SVS 3000s are set to -10 db -14.
Awesome review. I never heard anyone say svs buttom out and I applaud you for that, a subwoofer is meant to be played loud. I moved from dual SVS PB16 to Rythmiks FV25HP, dual ofcourse.
Can u test the xtz cinema subs also. ?.
Iâd love to test it and a bunch more, and I will
Hi... I just pull trigger to get a SB3000 ..
I have a Polkaudio HTS12 ..Is it possible to use both sub svs and HTS12?? ... SVS 3000 as main Sub and the HTS as a secondary sub just like and add on only..
Hey! It is possible to use them both, but itâs generally not recommended to mix a sealed and ported sub because of phase issues. 2 of the same types would be better
@@tHAvIlLaMaN ..I would just use the polkaudio HST sub as a backup support only just adding some BOOM/Bang to fill my HT room ... Will see how it goes with svs Sb3000 first... đ
..
Need that piano black finish lol
Great review again! Link to outro music please?
Thank you! Itâs actually copyright-free music from CZcams studio, so I donât have a link to it
@@tHAvIlLaMaN thanks villa! I like your content alot. Very refreshing to watch!
I'm about to pull the trigger on a SVS sub but my dilemma is dual 1000 or single PB 2000 as the price for either set up is the same, my vendor keeps telling me I will get way more out of the single 2000 than dual 1000's because my theatre room is considered big and if I'm I don't get enough bass I can always add another 2000 (18X18). buy sub's is such pain because they get expensive and much more complicated than people think as it's a major part of the set up. what's your advice ?
Normally Iâd say that 2 smaller subs are better than one big one because it evens out the bass response, but thatâs a pretty big room. So you might need 2 of the 2000s to really pressurize it.
@@tHAvIlLaMaN everyone says its big and I don't think so I only have one cinema seat for 3 in the room no room for more. Besides I'm adding more speakers and changing the AV so can't afford a dual setup right now already spending 5K just for upgrades.
@@tHAvIlLaMaN oh crap the room is actually 11x12 so sorry
Haha thatâs a big difference. The dual 1000s should work just fine in that case
Go close of SB 3000 and hear in the middle of the cone If have a noise like a cooler please ?
No thatâs not normal. You may have a failing amp
Who has louder output 1 SB3000 or PB 2000?
Pb2000 because ported.
Muito bom.
The reviewer of this video didnât respond to my message so I was wondering if anyone know how this up stacks up against klipsch 300 W reference series subwoofer?
Honestly, there's no comparison. The SVS SB-3000 is superior. I have two of them in my small living room and the bass is extremely tight, accurate and chest pounding. They sound equally great in home theater or music reproduction. I've owned various high-end equipment in the past, including McIntosh, and the SVS SB-3000 is absolutely incredible!
@@D.L.W. hey after doing my research I went on and ordered one of them just to test it and if it lives up to what youâre saying and all the other reviews are saying then Iâll get the second one I canât wait itâs supposed to get here Friday
Hello VillaMan, I really enjoy watching your videos.
My room is approx 33ftX18ft, as the living room opens to the kitchen.
Do you think 2 sb3000 will hammer the room?
Hey, thanks!
That room might be a bit too large for 2 SB3000s. Will you be primarily watching movies? If so, have you thought about a ported sub instead?
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Yes I thought about the pb3000's, however I mostly listen to music % wise 70/30. I'm currently running duel Polk Audio subs, 1-PSW505 12" and the other is the Polk HTS 12".
They currently shake the house with bass I could never imagine, but I feel the bass is not clean, too boomy, plus I'm looking for mid bass that I feel in my chest, that's why I'm looking at the sealed sub.
I'm like you I LOVE BASS!!!
My second question is: have you ever used the amp called a TONEWINNER?
I'm hearing great things about this amp but I haven't seen an actual review on it.
Tonewinner has a model called AD7300, it
claims 7X300Watts @ 8ohms or
7X500Watts @ 4ohms

If you have a chance please let me know what you think.
Btw thank you for replying, I'm honored.
Courtney
@@courtneymiller5000 My room is the same size. Did you try the SB3000? Was it enough?
@@fluffyman15 Yeah I think that may be the best woofers for my room, I hope when I seal the ports I'll get the punch of the Sb's
Technology marches on. Lighter, more rigid driver cones. Bigger voice coils. Longer excursion., More intense magnets. More powerful amps.
I ordered an Sb-3000 to replace my 15 year old 15". sub. Compare? The SVS has a stronger everything. Better control. And it's considerably smaller and lighter. Its the perfect sub for medium rooms. I am using it for my 2 channel stereo., And I will NEVER go back to a ported sub again.
Can u do a review of a xtz sub then also.?.
Would be awesome if I could. Hopefully I can in the future!
Dual PB-1000's working great in My setup.
Nice! 2 subs beat 1 for sure
Toby recently purchased dual PB-1000's. I have a small listening area, so I returned one. I think I'm gonna re-order the second PB-1000, or I may use the subs on my towers.
@@tHAvIlLaMaN what size room because so many tell me my 18x18 is too big for dual 1000's and I would be better to start with 1 PB-2000 and add if I want more. the 2000 is more than double the power but I'm still debating I've been trying to pull the trigger for 2 weeks now just can't make up my mind...lol
@@taxi615 Your post is from four months ago, so you might have already pulled the trigger, but for your size room I would recommend the 3000 if you only get one sub, or two 2000 are even better. If your application is home theater I would go with dual 3000 if you want the best possible sound for your space.
@@frankvee yeah I went with dual PB2000 I got an open box deal for 1600$ Canadian shipped couldn't pass it up they are great
Please do a movie demo like you did with pb3000!!!
Will do!
Thank you so much!! I might order one all the way from Japan so your help os very much appreciatedđđđđ
I agree.
If you have this small amazing subwoofer in a small to medium closed room then I say itâs enough is when you have a larger open room with high ceilings that you will need a bigger subwoofer.
Would it be better to buy 2 SB2000 or 1 SB4000?
Depending on the size of your room, Iâd go with the dual SB2000.
If you can for SB3000s then Iâd recommend that since you can do a lot of customization for your room
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Its not big, I live in apartments. And as now I dont have to much room either lol
Oh lol. Well personally I bought an SB4000 because I knew eventually Iâd be moving to a bigger space. Tough choice
@@tHAvIlLaMaN I agree with Villa. Go for dual SB3000 if you can, they will do nicely in a medium size room should you ever move into a bigger place. But be nice to your neighbors. lol
How do you think it compares to the sb4000?
The 4000 is better in every way since itâs bigger and more powerful, but the 3000 isnât that far behind.
They could both be used in a medium room but the 4000 would be better for a room on the larger side
@@tHAvIlLaMaN for living room spaces that open on one side to the kitchen (in the 2500-3000 cubic ft. range) - would you consider these to be medium sized rooms? Does the open nature of the room matter in sub size selection to the point where you would pick a bigger sub even when only one half of the room is being used when watching movies? I have an old 325w PB12-NSD from 2008 and was wondering if switching to the more compact SB3000 and moving the sub from beside the couch to the front soundstage instead would be an upgrade or downgrade in bass performance in your opinion?
@@tHAvIlLaMaN I had two sb4000's before my sb3000.
The first sb4000 was faulty and the second one had a similar problem too.
Both units got quite warm to touch and they both made buzzing sounds.
I also had issues with the power switch that jammed and got stuck, its seems strange that the power switch is 3x the size on the sb3000?
And the sb3000 doesn't ever get warm.
Initially i was slightly disappointed with the performance on the 3000 as you say the 4000 has better bass but my god that was sooo heavy!
I felt that compared to the sb3000 the sb4000 looks a bit fat and ugly in our room, plus the wife is a lot happier with the sb3000 now!
@@hclandscapes How is the SB-3000 compared to the SB-4000 now when you have played it for a while?
@@snootz I have a similar size room/layout. SB3000 is plenty!
Damn. Why are SVS subs always $200 to $400 more in europa than in the US? âŹ1700 for a PB-3000 and âŹ1400 for a SB-3000... That sucks :(
Because they aren't based in Europe
@@Audfile Yes but other manufactureres aren't either and they don't cost more either
@@KALTBLUTWOLF1 then i guess then they are simply doing it to be mean to you, personally. I can imagine them in their offices, laughing, laughing, laughing.
@Sly foxxx Yeah, noticed that with klipsch too...
Can you feel this sub in your chest?
Is this so good that you would replace your own sub what ever that is?
If I didnât already have an SB4000 I would either get 2 of the SB3000s or even the PB3000 if space wasnât an issue
Thank you
2 subs is well always better than one sub.
Yup
@@tHAvIlLaMaN how about 2 sb4000s vs 2 sb3000. Thank you villaman.
SVS SUBS TNT
the sub should be protected from bottoming out. thatâs strange,
Meaning I pushed it to the edge of its excursion.
i know what it is, but the protection in the dsp should stop it from bottoming out to protect the driver, when audioholics tested the svs subs. they never bottomed out,
@@rushgush I bottomed out my SB3000 playing the cut Bass I Love You. Heard a metallic sound and backed it off immediately.
Awesome review, please check out our reviews on HiFi brothers. đ
Small, Powerful, and tight. It sounds like the perfect woman...
I like 15-in subs better

Great review!
