An anomaly in the world of subwoofers, the SVS PB-1000 plays below the limits of human hearing, down to 19Hz and lower, yet costs a fraction of what ported subwoofers with similar low frequency extension and output sell for. Simply put, it’s the deepest, most effortless and authoritative bass you’ll find for under $500. No subwoofer comes close to offering this level of low frequency output and extension value.

Considering the deep bass extension and thunderous SPL output without sacrificing musicality, PB-1000 defies expectations at every level. The front-firing driver features dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimized internal motor technology that enable extreme excursion for high output with extremely low distortion. Performance of the 10-inch driver rivals that of 12 and 15-inch drivers housed in much larger cabinets.

Commanding 10-inch SVS High Output Driver

The lightweight cone material of the SVS PB-1000 long-stroke driver reproduces massive LFEs and subtle music tones with lifelike realism, making the subwoofer a perfect option for both home theater and music lovers. Durable rubber surrounds also ensure long-lasting performance, even when the ported subwoofer is pushed to its performance limits for extended periods of time.

Powerful and Sophisticated Sledge STA-300D Amplifier

Sledge STA-300D Amplifier

Driving the PB-1000 ported subwoofer is an integrated SVS Sledge STA-300D amplifier with a sophisticated DSP perfectly matched to the unique ported cabinet configuration, and an equalization curve optimized for enhanced transient response and room gain. Conservatively rated at 300 watts RMS and 700+ watts peak power, the Sledge amplifier maintains precise control of the subwoofer at all drive levels so you can push to reference volumes and maintain accuracy in frequency response. Challenge the PB-1000 with the most challenging musical bassline or soundtrack and it stays true to the source content without compromise. The advanced DSP engine also allows for fine tuning of audio playback and easy set-up and integration into any home theater or stereo system.

When it comes to filling out the lower octaves of our favorite audio content, few, if any, ported subwoofers approach what the SVS PB-1000 achieves for the price. Its ability to convey the chest-thumping slam and room pressurizing LFEs, and also subtle and nuanced bass in music, TV and movie soundtracks defies expectations for a level of performance previously reserved for much larger reference subwoofers.

Sonically Inert and Rigidly Braced Cabinet

Rounded edges and a fabric grille cover on the SVS PB-1000 cabinet give it a refined look that blends visually with home theaters and high-end audio systems. Its ported cabinet design features extensive internal bracing for the driver and motor to ensure an inert environment, resulting in tighter, more accurate bass with no coloration while maximizing on airflow and dynamic output potential.

Go Dual!

I've been building my budget system for a couple months so I purchased a single PB-1000 a couple months ago.. I was going to upgrade to the PB-2000 but all the reviews said to go dual subs in your setup so I grabbed another PB-1000 from the outlet and I'm glad I did! I couldn't be more happy! These subs sound amazing and for my small living room 13'x 15' they fill it up with sound.. things walk off my coffee table lol.. if you're doing a budget surround I highly recommend this sub and if you can go dual, do that!

Powerful!

I took advantage of the outlet sale and purchased dual PB1000 for my 12x13 small theater room. I paired them with a Klipsch RP-280FA, RP450C reference premier front setup and it made the entire system come alive. These are excellent subs that go down deep! The bass is tight and clean! Get them and go dual. You won't regret it!

PB-1000 Review

This is the second beautiful SVS Subwoofer I have purchased. My first was the PB-2000 Pro. It was a bit too much for my house so I downgraded to the PB-1000. I am extremely happy with the decision. The sub hits very low without distortion. It is clean yet subtle, powerful yet calm. It performs in a well designed manner. I would recommend this subwoofer to anyone. Small or large rooms.

Just went dual PB1000's

I watched the SVS facebook forum and decided to go dual subs as recommended. WOW! what a difference, I do highly recommend dual subs it was a game changer for me. Just used a RCA double adaptor on my Yamaha amp and positioned them diagonal. Go buy 4k San Andreas and be blown away. I would not buy any other brand of sub. Thanks SVS!
