The ported box PB12-Plus has enough sonic muscle to effortlessly fill any home theater with low frequency output below the levels of human hearing, where it can only be felt, while remaining musical and amazingly detailed.

Commanding 12-Inch SVS High-Output Driver

Equally suited for music and home theater, the PB12-Plus powered subwoofer boasts a 12-inch front-firing Plus Series driver with dual high-grade ferrite magnets and an FEA-optimized motor for distortion-free performance at the most punishing drive levels. Dual linear-roll spiders and stitched parabolic surround allow the PB12-Plus to generate incredible output through extreme excursion capabilities while maintaining control over the ultra-light and rigid composite cone, so it can stop on a dime with no overhang.

Powerful and Sophisticated Sledge STA-800D Amplifier

Conservatively rated at 800 watts RMS and 2,300 watts peak power, the Sledge STA-800D DSP amplifier inside the PB12-Plus subwoofer delivers effortless power for maximum SPLs and sonic impact in movies and music, while maintaining pinpoint accuracy of frequency and transient response. It also has brains to match its brawn. A sophisticated DSP offers an array of filters and volume, gain, and phase controls for fine-tuning performance, and the efficient Class-D design consumes less than half-a-watt of power in stand-by mode.

Variable Port Tuning

Rated at 16-250 HZ +/- 3dB, the PB12-Plus subwoofer features variable port tuning so you can adjust output and extension based on listening preferences. For connections, the home theater subwoofer features a stereo line-level RCA and balanced XLR input/output connections along with an 80Hz high pass filtered output connections, continuously variable volume and phase controls, and three top-firing 3-inch high-flow flared ports with large radius inner and outer flanges.

Deft, yet powerful, the SVS PB12-Plus subwoofer delivers deeper low frequency extension and greater output than any ported box subwoofer in its class. Musical bass is rendered with subtlety, nuance and toe-tapping aplomb while movie content is brought to life with seat-rumbling slam and impact as well as mood-enhancing low frequency effects.

    Big one!

    Despite all the challenges of getting this monster of a subwoofer here to Seoul Korea I am thoroughly pleased with its performance. The depth is “subterranean” well at least that’s how my buddies in audio appreciating group described it. I definitely want to commend the SVS team for their exceptional customer service. A special thanks to

    Ed Mullen for assisting me with my initial setup challenges.

    I got a smoking deal - Love the sub!

    This is my first REAL sub woofer, and while I have been looking for an upgrade for some time I was torn between SVS and it's competitors.

    That said, my SVS choise was fantastic. From the phone call made before purchasing and speaking with a tech there, to the painless checkout process of my "dent+scratch" unit which was 99.5% flawless and exactly as advertised.

    Now that the unit is breaking in I'm even more happy then I was when I first received this monster.

    Would certainly put SVS on the top of my list for the next sub purchase when it comes to that

    As always, SVS delivers.

    I'm a dealer for high end AV gear, and when I did a theater for my sister's friend I went with select products from our direct dealer inventory and distributors. The only exception was for the sub-woofers, for those I insisted on SVS. They didn't get a 'deal' since we purchased them direct from SVS, but they finally understand why I insisted.
