SVS PB16-Ultra Subwoofer Gloss Black
  • Great sound, size and weight.

SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Gloss Black
  • This sub is really massive. Nice looking for a large subwoofer. Excellent build quality.
  • Solid and massive construction looking like I have really expensive system.
  • This boofer is too way massive. 153lbs. This thing is might to be setted only ones.
  • With a 172 lbs. shipped weight and a 153 lbs. unpacked weight, moving the PB-4000 around is not an insignificant task for most people.
  • It's really big and heavy subwoofer. Hard to set it up. And this is completely not for small room.

What customers say about "Audio"
 
SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Gloss Black
  • This sub delivers the goods! I can hear a lot more depth and quality in the low frequency range. Music is crisp and movies are down right scary!
  • It's the sound I've been looking for for a long time. Highly recommend.
  • Extremely linear response all the way down to 16 Hz.
  • I can strongly recommend this subwoofer for electronic music enthusiasts. Amazing sound on every level.
  • Some kinds of sound mix can’t really be fully reproduced by a small subwoofer. To competently reproduce deep bass with low distortion, a lot of air displacement its needed.

What customers say about "Features"
 
SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Gloss Black
  • Very accurate, tight bass with excellent transient response throughout a very broad frequency range. Great for both music and movies.
  • The bass is amazing even at low volume. It's accurate and no rolling. The whole house shaking.
  • The first time I felt the base from this beauty an involuntary smile crossed my face. Who knew base could feel this good!
  • Beautifully engineered and extremely well made using double thick MDF construction. It sits on large screw-in rubber feet that provide solid support, whilst the construction is incredibly inert.
  • SVS have trickled down many of the specs and features found on the 16-Ultra Series.
