SVS PB-1000 Subwoofer

2013-05-09
yes I do and Brian from Audio head here today we have the PB 1000 from SVS it comes in a black ash finish it's actually a 10-inch front firing subwoofer with a port design there in the front as well it's rated at 300 watts RMS with a 720 watt peak it's also ready to go down to 19 Hertz and it extends all the way up to you know 270 it's quite a beast of a of a subwoofer and it's also one of the entry-level ones the SVS offers for around $500 this particular sub woofer is actually one of the lower models they have a wide range of subwoofers offered on their direct-to-consumer website but from everything I've heard on this one I really like it it's a great performer for five hundred dollars let me just take off the front drill here and show you what it looks like as you can see now we have the 10 inch speaker revealed and then the port which is fairly large located there on the lower left there's also an indicator light just to the upper left of the 10 inch speaker that kind of indicates power and whatnot from the front which is a nice design change if it's just on the back I don't I didn't find the light too intrusive and so nice nice little touch nice little touch so this speaker like I said it costs a little bit more than some of the other 10 inches out there however when I compared it to my bargain-basement Polk PSW 10 I noticed a couple of really great improvements the first and foremost being had lower reach a lower thump kind of a better grip on the low-end that was really apparent in every song I ran through the unit in addition it had a little bit it was a little bit tighter a little bit more firm it didn't seem as bloated or wooly as the PSW ten not that that sub is overly so it's just this one is is definitely a step up from that obviously it's twice the price of that but I'm really happy to say that there are improvements of this design over the other sub before I had on hand even though they share the same speaker size which is really cool it really speaks well to the design and the overall appeal of this unit from the back here you can see the adjustment knobs not only for the frequency cutoff but also for the overall volume of the amplifier as I said before this is the black ash finish and I really appreciated the rounded corners of the design as well as the finish it just seems like a nice quality piece of audiophile equipment the cab itself is extremely robust quite hefty quite heavy actually much heavier than the the pulk that I had on hand so a solid cabinet design which i think is very important when it comes to subwoofer cabinets because they just need a lot of firmness a lot of tightness you know anything to rattle around obviously no buzzes or things of that nature at all so like I said fit finish definitely a cut above of a lot of other units the cheaper bargain-basement kind of style and overall I really enjoyed the the unit it's it's a great little unit powerful and with the extra money if you want to take the dive into like the $500 range for a subwoofer you do get that lower grip like I said before in a little more firmness and a little more clarity down there on the low end so that's really the big benefits to this this this unit over the other ones a great little low-end driver if you want to check out the website it is SVS sound dot-com only one ass at the end there I have a great weekend
