I've never had a serious sub., so when I got this, I wasn't sure what to think of the sound, or how I wanted it to sound. I bought it to upsize the JBL LSR305 gen ii's on my computer desk. Well... that's what I bought the LAST sub for. 5" monitors tend to sound lean in bass, with holes down on the bottom, even. Not to mention when they really get pushed at frequencies below 100hz, the ports start mucking everything up... not so much with chuff, but definitely smearing. They start punching the wall in a way that hurts me. No replacement for real displacement. Gotta have big woofers pushing air to get big noises. So no matter how good the mids and treble are, they always sound lean. This is a 12" woofer. 12 is a bigger number than 5. For years I ran them in tandem with a Dayton FLUB-1000, 10" driver with bottom-firing port. It was always kinda boomy, uneven, and undistinct, but it did the job of adding low frequency content to offset the HF dominance of the speakers. Without it they sounded bright, and sometimes the Dayton would at least latch on in a way that somewhat made sense. No happy spot for it though. Either you set it up so you can barely hear it and nothing hits like it's supposed to, or you ALWAYS hear it, kinda doing its own thing. Very uncontrolled response. Not the best extension. When you get into electronic music and a synth line or 808 takes that extra dip down and the woofer stops moving, it is completely immersion breaking. When it was fully there, it sounded good... I almost wanna say I was a bit disappointed when I first set up the SB-1000. The Dayton was no more near as punchy or accurate, but it seemed to have a lot more energy and presence. So transitioning away I felt like I wasn't hearing the new SB-1000 like I should've been. I found myself turning it up too high, setting the crossover too high, setting the phase in a way that separated it from the speakers. It was to me just like the Dayton, but worse. Boomy and very inconsistent. The opposite ended up being true. Over the past few days of listening and dialing in, I've realized this sub is ALWAYS there, even when you think you don't notice. I just had to stop trying to turn it up to make it sound like I thought it should. Some of the music I was used to actually just didn't have that much bass. But man, it still sounds good with that sub. It just follows kick drums and bass guitars so closely you don't realize how much it's actually doing for the sound. The musicality of this thing is on another planet compared to those cheap subs. Once you dial it in (and dial yourself in) it is a completely different world of bass. What really cemented this was when I DID open it up with bass heavy music. I cranked my system volume all the way up and not only did several pictures nearly fall off of the wall, but in fact my entire body was vibrating. I could feel my eyes shake. It hit me so hard I broke out in sweat. My hurricane proof windows were trembling. And where the Dayton had holes, this was steady across frequencies, with none of that phantom bass dropouts on really low synths and bass notes. No, it digs all the way down into the tracks. And in my head it was a eureka moment. "This sub doesn't lack bass at all, it's just accurate to the music!" After that I went to more neutral music at moderate levels and it blended seamlessly back in with no boominess. You just kinda know it's there. Turn it up and the kicks punch your chest a little, while the bass guitar cradles the snare and guitars. The speakers themselves sound bigger. I also find that even though it sounds overall less prominent than the big flubby Dayton crapbox, it actually picks up a lot of slighter things that the Dayton either hid under blobs or completely missed. There are all sorts of songs where I didn't know the bass wasn't flat but in fact rolling around and/or having multiple 'hits' or 'stages' to it. "Detailed" has never been my word for bass, but for stuff with more going on in the lowest registers, it has opened me up to all kinds of new nuance in old favorites. And again, it does still hit WAY harder than the 10" ported Dayton, right when it's called to. It's accurate and controlled. Clean at all times. Mean when it's meant to be. Polite when it's asked to be. I love it! Pretty plain, but well-built. People say ported is better for movies and games, but I don't know. I did buy this for music and it excels at it, BUT, when I am gaming or watching movies, it rumbles plenty, without booming-out distractingly on the shorter sounds. It still sounds full and even when it's bringing the sound effect boom boom, without overpowering the room at high volumes. I think that's the difference. In this room, all a port would do for music, games, or movies, was make it harder to get the correct response and fullness out of it. I can't compare, but it seems like same boom boom, just more accurate. Not to mention the compact cab may open up placement opportunities in the smaller rooms this thing will demolish like it's another Tuesday. Perfect for this 10'x12' room with standard 8' ceiling. I put it under my desk right in the corner of the room. The granularity of the phase adjustment is nice, with it being so close to toed in speakers that I am also close to, it's not a perfect 0, 90, or 180 for ideal bonding. The sweet spot was closer to 45 degrees, but not exactly. On tick makes the difference. The knobs have at least 30 odd soft stops for easy tracking of adjustments. They're nice knobs. I feed my preamp to the sub's inputs and let its crossover cap my JBL's down at 80hz by letting the sub feed them. Any speakers you plug into the output will be capped at 80hz, which I think is reasonable, considering you wouldn't want to set this sub higher than that in most uses. I set the low-pass for the sub itself 2 clicks below 80hz because setting it right up to the speaker's limit still makes them clash a little. Being so close I can get away with running it that high and honestly that is about the range where the JBL's really drop off anyway. It works nicely. I find that not feeding stuff below 80hz does clean up their midrange. I never thought the clarity/width thing could be true crossing over subs with small speakers, but it is! They sound better at all frequencies! This thing has a lot more to give, too. I'm not even running it at 50% volume. A little below 12 o clock is an adrenaline rush with loud bass-heavy music. I love it. I think the sealed cab definitely gives an advantage to desk setups. You can put it close in a smaller room and not worry about nulls too much, as long as the volume and phase are right, it is almost too steady and musical. You forget about it until it's not there. I just kinda know when things I've heard a lot sound suspiciously better and remember to say "Thanks, SVS!" And that's why I say start here. I feel like this gives a better sense of how a sub is supposed to sound. What they should and should not be doing. I think reviewers who say this sub sounds weak or boomy probably haven't set it up right, used it in the wrong space, or simply thought it would do something a closed sub isn't supposed to do. This thing will do a very poor job of adding bass to your stuff. But if it is there, it will pick it up in a BIG way. When it's not, it will be subtle, but if you pay attention you still notice the significant difference across the entire range of sounds. ... show more

Low-key, unobtrusive, yet powerful sub
I've had subs before, but never one that enhanced the music or movies without drawing attention to itself. This sub just blends in, adding heft and power to music without a lot of drama. Its understated looks complement that style of performance. I got the sealed box rather than ported as I was more concerned with tighter bass for music than anything, although I like LFE in movies too. I did a lot of research and SVS is consistently rated very highly, especially in terms of value per dollar spent. I think I made the right choice. I don't even really have the settings fully dialed in (need to redo the receiver's Audyssey calibration at some point), but already this sub is just melting in to the rest of my system. I have a pair of Polk S55 speakers and the SVS SB-1000 matches with them very well. I had the Polk PSW505 and while that packed a wallop before it died, it wasn't suited to music as it just provided a big dumb slab of noise with no nuance at all. I also had a very old (circa 2002) Yamaha sub that is much more nimble for music, yet wasn't capable of digging really deep. Both subs just farted out bass through its port and again, drew attention to thenselves in the process instead of creating a seamless listening experience like this sub does. I'm pretty sold on sealed boxes if this sub's performance is any indication. The other thing about this sub and perhaps all sealed boxes - this is just a theory - potentially more neighbor friendliness. I believe that less bass is going to bother my neighbors with this sub because compared to my other subs, there is very little vibration if you place your hand on the floor or on nearby walls when compared to my 2 other ported subs. And also, I'm no longer hearing areas of exaggerated boomy bass if I walk to other areas of my condo, compared to the 2 subs I'd been using. I think that means there are less resonances, and more bass remaining within my condo. I'm not a sound engineer but it seems plausible. I do have the SVS special aftermarket feet which may help, but I already had those on my Polk sub also. Bottom line is, I feel that this sub is giving me what I wanted and more. This is a smaller sub, but can provide some good thump when the situation calls for it. My living room isn't that small either - about 12x20 with a really high ceiling as it's a loft style. If you have a small to medium system and/or room, and have about $500 to spend, I think you'll be good to go with this. If you like bass or it's more for movies or you have a larger space, you could look at the PB-1000 (Ported Box) or step up to the SB/PB-2000. ... show more

fantastic subwoofer!
Review Image by Mark Kowaleski
I have a modest home theater setup with a mid level Denon AVR and Polk ES speakers. This fills in the LFE and some of the missing bass punch from my speakers perfectly. My home theater is in basement and is quite large and open to large surrounding finished spaces (about 1,000 square feet of open space). We don't like it overly loud and rarely run the volume on the AVR past 55%. We just like a nice balanced sound with a wide sound stage across 3 movie recliners. Watching the last Elton John concert was breathtaking! Movies with pistol fire feels and sounds like being at the gun range - very punchy and jolting! Nice tight bass without the boomy feeling of a huge sub. Versatile for movies and music. I have this mounted dead center inside my entertainment center under the TV, practically hidden, which is the way the wife likes it. It sounds phenomenal in that location and suits my needs and expectations perfectly. I have it set at 50% volume fed from the AVR's LFE output. My crossovers are set at 60 Hz for mains and 80 Hz for center and surrounds. I let Audessy do the initial setup and a few tweaks later, voila, sound perfection. You can't go wrong with this subwoofer in terms of size, punch, and price. I bought it specifically for its size so I can tuck it out of sight under the TV. It is by far the smallest subwoofer in this class. The fact that it is sealed eliminates port noise but also makes the bass very tight and percussive. I'm an engineer and am pretty picky with the sound I am looking for. Nice subwoofer! ... show more

Fantastic sub for music, don't let the size fool you
For context - I use this sub exclusively for music. I have it paired with a high quality integrated amp and two Klipsch RP-280F towers. These speakers provide decent bass as is so I wanted a sub that would blend nicely without creating a muddy mess, add some punch, and fill out the low end below where these speakers can go. It's been two years now and this sub has been perfect for my needs. This sub blends perfectly at low volumes and it'll completely shake the house at high volumes. Sometimes we play music just for relaxing listening, and sometimes to throw a house party. I wanted a sub that can do both. I was hesitant at first that it wouldn't be able to handle the high volumes, but its been flawless. Without having the ability to hear it first, I chose it for two main reasons. Since it's exclusively for music, reason one is it's a sealed box which keeps things tight and I wanted to avoid the huge "movie theater" booms that you get with big ported boxes that may be sloppy for music. But don't worry, this thing doesn't miss anything with the extreme low notes, it hits them just as hard as a ported box. Reason two is it was one of the few subs I could find that offers binding posts for speaker wire hookup vs subwoofer RCA connections. This was big for me since I wanted it for music and this is the way to go (advice I got from the pro audio shop where I bought my amp). 10/10 would recommend this sub. ... show more

Great Value!!! Class D amp Technology!
I originally visited my local Best Buy store with the intention of listening to a Definitive Technology - ProSub 1000 10" 300-Watt Powered and comparing it to a Martin Logan Dynamo 500. Both priced at $499 each. Listening to it in the Magnolia Room, I was sold on the DefTec model over the Martin Logan. Eventhough I have Martin Logan towers and center channel. The Dynomo was sloppy and not sharp sounding for the money. The Definitive Technology - ProSub 1000 10" 300-Watt Powered unit was much clearer in comparison with more Thunder base. But I did some reading and ordered the SB1000 12" 300 watt unit and am so glad I ended up with this model over the other two from Best Buy. The unit cost the same as the Dynamo and Definitive Technology - ProSub 1000 10" 300-Watt Powered. So I took the chance in buying a unit I had not heard of or listened to before. I am very pleased witht the theater base this unit produces. I use this in 9.2 system. I paired this subwoofer with a 15 year old 8" Velodyne. The crossed the sounds levels to be the same. Both sound great together with the SVS unit delivering the movie vibration to our couch and chair without too much base. This is a terrific unit and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! make sure you have a powerful receiver to power it for adequate sound. I am using a Pioneer SC-85. Very strong drivers in this Pioneer model. Both the amp in the SVS sub and Pioneer units use the Class D technology. They run very cool and deliver superior sound and power. No over heating or shut downs from base overload. Fantastic buy! ... show more

Performs well in small rooms, nicely flat response
I ordered this sub because I moved my system into a very small home office, and the prior sub was a 10" ported unit that was just too boomy and one-note. Pink noise confirmed the severely peaked behavior. Going sealed is a much better solution for a small room; I have it on the front wall, maybe 1/3 on one side (i.e. not centered on the front wall). Cone is actually pointing towards the right wall, not directly toward listener. Lost a lot of response pointing directly at me. Still running through a lot of frequency sweeps and pink noise checks, but so far a very good improvement. The SVS is quite flat from 30Hz to 100Hz, which is what 99% of the people out there will want. So that is a home run. My current challenges are to creep inch by inch along the wall and into the room to find the magic spot where room modes are not causing a problem. Currently, I have a dip at 54Hz and a peak at 65Hz, which is surprisingly close to one another. Move sub one foot in either direction and the peaks change, for better or worse. So more experimenting is in my future. It's not the sub, it's the room. Also, I have a set of mains that are old, with stiff surrounds. Bass response falls off precipitously at 200 Hz, so I am trying to use the SVS to reach up into that range. Crossover set at 180 Hz currently, which is asking the SVS to do something out of the ordinary, but it is holding its own. Had to mess with the time delay on the mains in order to get the crossovers to match up better (was getting nasty nulls at 200 Hz without adjusting delay). Nothing like having a loudspeaker management system to assist with crossover and delay adjustments. I would give more detail on what components are in my system, but as soon as you name a manufacturer in your review amazon rejects it. All in all, I would recommend getting this sealed sub for small rooms. For those that don't have advanced DSP controls externally, there would be benefit to getting SVS upgrade with the internal DSP and bluetooth features. I did not need it. ... show more

Tight controlled and music bass = SVS SB-1000
What did adding a subwoofer give me in my stereo setting? More bass, duh. I could babble on about more airy midranges and more room for the highs but that is bullshit. I got more of what I already had which was tight defined and focused bass and that is exactly what I wanted. The match between a large closed box design loudspeaker like mine and the SVS SB-1000 is total magic. As my son said, it sounds like everything is coming from the main speakers but bigger. Did I get anything else out of it at all? With the crossover at 80Hz instead of 60Hz I got a more weighty thicker sound overall which I really like almost a bit more depth in the soundstage either from the added bass or how the bass is interacting with the room. I played bass-shy music like Sonny Clark’s “Cool Struttin’” and it had more weight to acoustic bass and drums. I played Calexico with Iron & Wine’s “In the Reins” and the sound was thicker and deeper overall turning off the subwoofer gave an immediately more thin presence to the tone of the music. Listen it really really shines when I play “do you want more?!?!!!!?” by the Roots obviously the whole album sounded had a nice kicking bass thump without being overwhelming or ever noticing when the subwoofer versus the speakers were doing their thing. It disappeared into the sound which is what you want them to do when you are listening to music after all. What about movies? I listen mostly to music so let me keep this brief. If you really want to piss your neighbors off this is not the subwoofer for you. Still, if I turn the sub all the way up and play a 40HZ test tone my wife did text me and go “WTF are you doing down there?” It is great for fast paced shoot-em-ups all John Wick style but with a solo sub in a basement you do have to crank it up from music listening volume to get the big explosion thumps you want from a super hero MCU Avengers battle. But this subwoofer can still pull it off. Which is way nice. Overall, this subwoofer is very musical and can pull off movies unless you have a need for shaking your bowels into total irritation and driving your neighborhood insane. ... show more

Better than expected
Did a lot of research on subs to replace my nearly thirty year old subwoofer. Mainly was looking to add a sub to my KEF ls50 two channel music only system that wasn't as imposing looking as my old sub. Also, needed a sub that could keep pace with the very fast KEFs. I knew my old sub was not up to the task of pacing the KEFs, but never knew how bad it was until I first turned on the SVS. From the outset, I knew the small SVS was a keeper. And that was before I even dialed it in. Initially, I just connected it up to my Rogue Sphinx integrated with the high level inputs with the KEFs running full range, set the crossover to 80hz, left the phase at 0 and set the volume by ear. Very nice improvement over what I had been living with. Next day I did the "full" setup using test tones and SPL meter. Ended up with crossover at 60hz, phase at 0 and volume up at ten clicks. Well, everything is totally integrated, sounding like a much fuller speaker. The tiny SB 1000 keeps perfect pace with the KEFs. All I hear is a full-bodied wall of sound with deep soundstage (something the KEFs do very well). While I was obviously hoping for improvement over my old sub, I wasn't ready for the dramatic change due to the seamless integration and speed that the SVS yields. If you value high end sound for music and want to not spend big bucks, this is the sub you should audition. ... show more
