True to SVS design philosophy, the PB12-NSD obliterates performance expectations for the price with a driver, amplifier, motor and cabinet combination at an all new low price. Equally adaptable for music, home theater, TV and gaming, the PB12-NSD produces amazingly deep and articulate bass with pinpoint accuracy and speed in transients at all drive level.

Potent SVS 12-inch NSD High-Output Driver

Featuring high end materials and rock-solid design, the 12-inch SB12-NSD driver handles every watt of the Sledge amplifier’s power and delivers deep, room-energizing bass and crushing SPLs with pristine clarity and control, even when pushed to the absolute limit.

Sledge STA-400D Amplifier

Effortless power with smooth and precise signal processing for accuracy and clarity at all drive level, the PB12-NSD’s STA-400D amplifier is conservatively rated at 400 watts RMS, 800 watts peak power and effortlessly delivers massive amounts of current to the motor and driver to create convincing cinematic and musical bass you can hear and feel at the most important moments. With digital bass management features and flexible set up options normally reserved for more expensive subwoofers, the Sledge amplifier makes it easy to optimize with any equipment in any room set-up

DSP for Fine-Tuning In-Room Performance

Internal Digital Signal Processing (DSP) allows for easy integration into rooms of all shapes and sizes as well as with all different models and brands of speakers.

Optimized Cabinet Design

    Really goes deep

    This sub is an upgrade for me over a 15” Dayton subwoofer. It’s shocking how much deeper, faster and cleaner the SVS12” goes.

    Great subwoofer svs pb12NSD

    Great sounding sub, can differentiate between the different sounds bass Hz tones in the movies and music. They all interact with the room different which is mind blowing at times. My room accoustic make the SVS subwoofer a little boomy around 50hz so I crossed over my front tower speakers at 60hz to provide relief on the sub and prevent localization. Seems to be the current fix. I'm currently running an onkyo 656 receiver and the accueq seems to do an alright job. Not a big fan of accueq overall for sound and sub performance.

    I bought a Klipsch ATMOS System

    And it sounds awesome in my setup - but the Sub was lacking. The problem is if you don't have a reference on what great sounding bass is like - then you just don't know what you are missing. Luckily enough my friend and I created some concrete outdoor subwoofers using 15" Marine L7 Square Kickers. We put three out by the pool with Crown amps running to it. Now these are sealed and go pretty damn loud below 20hz..... Fast forward to the ATOMS setup - I get it... and it is LOUD but not deep at all. Watched some movies and thought man - this sounds great but the outdoor system was way better.... Do I did some research and LUCKILY found a forum talking about SVS - which I never heard about before....

    Okay - I don't want to overstate this - and if you aren't into an amazing Call of Duty / ATOMS Movie / Bassy Music - then you won't be impressed... but for those that do and haven't had a fairly deep Sub - this is a LIFE CHANGER! I spend sooo much time watching movies / TV / music (everyday as this is my office as well) and Call of Duty (when the bombs rain down - HOLY SHIT!)...... I can't thank SVS enough because even though this is an entry sub for them - it hooked me. I have the Klipsch and the SVS PB 12 NSD... I need a second one but can't find one as they aren't for sale as of now. When I move to a new home in the future I'm going to go ahead and get two of the higher end systems - but that is a year or two away.

    Great customer service

    I bought a PB12-nsd from ebay a few months ago. The amplifier had some static noise so SVS sent me a new amplifier right away (I didn't even have to pay for shipping!) if you are considering buying from SVS, you will get a top of the line subwoofer (the BEST) and great customer service with it
