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.

    Just awesome!

    Last year I was finally able to built my dedicated home theater room and since then I had been saving money upgrade the subwoofer, and last month I finally bought this PB-1000 and man, this beast took my theater to a whole new level, pura excellence, now even the dialogue driven movies come to life thanks this sub, it’s a joy to watch any movie now. And the action movies? Clean bass! Last night I watched Top Gun Maverick, all I’m going to say is, thank God I don’t have any neighbors! SVS you have a new loyal customer, I’ll definitely be thinking about adding a second PB-1000 in the future and I’m already considering the Prime Elevation as rears for when I upgrade my AV receiver to have a 7.1.4 setup.

    Incredible

    I read reviews on here and made my decision to see what the hype was about and I'm glad I did! This was the best $400 I've spent on audio equipment! I didn't know this typa sound could come from a 10" sub and 300 watts.. I WILL be buying another one soon!

    Great Subwoofer for the Price!!! :)

    Nice low tight bass for movies and music. Worked great out of the box after a few calibrations with my Home Theater Audio Receiver.

    Will work fine for Small to Medium sized rooms.
