For chest-thumping movie slam and impact and sheer low frequency performance for the price, the PB-2000 subwoofer destroys larger and more expensive subwoofers, dipping all the way down to 17Hz without sacrificing musicality or speed in transients. The subwoofer features a front-firing 4-inch high-flow port with inner/outer port flares and energizes rooms of all sizes with extreme low frequency output for jaw-droppingly powerful and realistic movie and music audio experiences.

Commanding 12-Inch SVS High Output Driver

Commanding 12-Inch SVS High Output Driver

At the heart of the SVS PB-2000 ported box subwoofer is a newly engineered 12-inch 2000-series driver with dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimized motor for nearly distortion-free performance. A reinforced Nomex spider was integrated for improved linearity and driver control, especially important when the STA-500D amp is pushing the subwoofers to their maximum output levels. To ensure the PB-2000 can withstand punishing output levels long into the future, the driver also features a durable low-creep rubber long-throw surround and integrated tinsel leads to maximize longevity.

Powerful and Sophisticated Sledge STA-500D Amplifier

Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier

The PB-2000 Subwoofer’s Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier features specs and features normally found in subwoofers costing two or three times as much. Conservatively rated at a robust 500 watts RMS continuous and 1,100+ watts peak dynamic, the amplifier has brains to match its brawn. A sophisticated DSP in the amplifier includes an array of filters and volume, gain, and phase controls for fine-tuning performance. The innovations don’t stop there though. A frequency-dependent limiter/compressor algorithm with adjustable attack/release and compression parameters offers the ultimate in refined behavior at the drive limits of the subwoofer system.

With cabinet dimensions of 20.9” x 17.3” x 22” and weighing 66 lbs, the PB-2000 is nearly 40% larger and twice the weight of the SB-2000.

    Great Sub with phone App

    First and foremost, the App is the best part ever, I do not want thumping bass when I'm watching the news, etc...The App let's me turn it down with my phone instead of getting off the couch and reach behind and do it manually, like the other Subs I've owned. The SVS PB-2000 is massive and sturdy, This thing shakes my whole house, I love it. Made in the USA, hell yes!

    Surprisingly resilient very happy

    On the third year in on having four of these elevated on Parsons tables and really I'm still figuring out how great these are. For the money I don't think you can go wrong even if you go to the next itineration of the PB2000 now pro model. SVS really does a great job with customer service as well as their build quality and handle any concerns you might throw at them. A complete no-brainer purchase and if you get more than one that just gets better and better. Cheers
