Customer Ratings & Reviews

I already had this sub for my family room. I purchased a another sub for my bedroom because it cost a bit less and was a 12 inch ported. It lacked the lows, smoothness and transitions that this sub has, so I returned it and now I have this sub in my bedroom. You don’t have to crank this sub to get quality sound and the construction is solid. This is a 10 inch driver but ported and in large enclosure. It will put most 12 inch subs to shame, ported or sealed. Now I have two and I enjoy deep bass downstairs and upstairs. There are many subs, smaller, larger, costlier, cheaper but none rivals SVS for value.

I purchased this sub a few months ago. When I installed it initially I wasn't that impressed. So, I went through the Audyssey speaker calibration again and whoa!! It came alive! I've had subs from Polk Audio, PSB, Velodyne and others but this thing beats them all. The bass is subterranean and just blew me away. It rattles pictures on the walls and just makes me smile. Well, I liked it so much I've decided to go dual 10's and get another one. Just to even out the bass (so I tell my wife). I always say "it's for the family because everyone gets to enjoy it". And that's true.

I needed to replace cheap Polk sub for my entertainment center, and started looking into SVS. I was initially looking at one 12” for $800, but most of the research I did stated you should go dual subs. Most said if you’re choosing between one 12” or two 10”s, go dual 10”s. It has to do with the bass waves and how they overlap to fill the room to reduce dead spots. I initially tested this theory with two Polks I already had, and there is a huge advantage. So I bought dual 10”s and could not be happier. They fill a 17x30 room with vaulted ceilings perfect for me. I can play them nice and loud and no distortion. I also raised the low end frequency of my in wall speakers to get rid of bass rattle from them, since these more than handle the low end. I do recommended getting the upgraded feet for them, as the tiny ones that come with it just seem subpar. I have owned these for 8 months now, and would recommend them to anyone.

This is my first subwoofer for home use ever, and I'm very happy with my purchase. SVS has fantastic support and was very quick to answer a couple of basic questions that I had. Sound is excellent in my home theater and I can't believe I waited so long to buy one! Value is excellent for this unit as it is -very- reasonably priced, especially for everything you get in terms of quality. If I could change something, it would be to either move the connections to the side or change their positioning on the back by 90 degrees so that I could turn the sub sideways and have the cables hidden.

Probably an overkill for our little living room but boy... what a floorshaker. I thought I don't really need a sub because my front speakers can go as low as 38Hz, but there is a whole new world of experience below that. And this thing can go down to 19Hz! I don't think I could do any better for the money. They say ported subwoofers aren't that good for music listening, but if set up right, this one is awesome. I was watching Deadpool (that I've already seen) to test it, but I finished the whole movie. It's better sound than in a movie theater.

Highly recommend for anyone with a $500 budget. I bought two of them and couldn't be happier. It has added so much to my home theatre and music listening experience. Best Buy associate was also very helpful placing the order for me.

Suprised it sounds better then expected. Small sub cheap price great deal.

This is only the second subwoofer I have ever purchased and can’t believe the increase in performance compared to my old Yamaha subwoofer. It is large but has great output and sound quality.

Great product and easy to setup. Great first sub. Pairs well with simple 2/3.1 setup and of course everything else beyond that. I have this paired with Klipsch R-51m bookshelf speakers which sounds great with this sub. It really can fill the room even at lower volumes it performs well.

This is definitely a HT sub. Drops nice and low, great for movies. A little slow for HiFi music but not terrible. If you are 80% movies and 20% music, this is a great happy medium at a entry level price. Unbelievable volume for a entry level sub.

A great entry level subwoofer in its class especially for the price. There are other brands to look at but they are not the biggest box brands and names. It really boils down to what you are getting for the money. SVS makes some of the best subwoofers out there.

Been waiting a while to drop this review, but I'm currently jamming to a 2.5 hour music mix and the bass is thumping. My movies have never sounded better, there's proper rumbles going through.

Great lows; good overall sound. I just can’t crank it up as much as I would like.....it will bring the house down!!

It's huge. I cannot stress this enough, look at the measurements before deciding this is for your room. But if it is, it's the best $500 and under subwoofer you can get bar none. Doesn't need to be loud to its job and fills up the room.

Man guys I cannot say enough right now about this high quality sub, deep bass, my walls, couch shakes, I wish that I would have purchased this sub a long time ago. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT I HAVE FRIENDS OVER AND I AM NOT ASHAMED LOL.

I have been a B&W speaker owner for a long time. Love them but I did not have a great experience with the B&W ASW sub. Performance was average and it died on me after a while. I have been researching for a new sub for quite some time and finally decided on this SVS puppy. This thing is a BEAST!!! I got it paired with the rest of my B&W speakers (5.1 setup) and powered with a Denon receiver. We tested it yesterday with the 4K version of Avengers Endgame and the effects and the bass was out of this world!!! Highly recommended!

Awesome subwoofer. Completes my home theater perfectly. My main speakers can go as low as 34Hz, but this is a whole different league. Works great for music too.

Using 2 PB1000's to compliment B&W front speakers in a 2000 cu ft Room - Really good combination. Yamaha AVR to drive them works fine. You can feel the lows in your chest. Very happy with the results.

Amazing Sub for the price. Fills my small theatre room 14ft x 9.5ft with plenty power left. Sound quality is superb. Easy to connect to my Receiver.

Works extremely well. Very loud in a 25 × 12 foot media room with 10 ceilings. A second one would really rock it loud.
