You'll Feel It!
Crutchfield customer from Panama City, FL on 2/25/2021
Exceptional 'dual' subwoofers for small to medium rooms. Best I ever purchased and highly recommend them. I did have some reservations that sealed box sub(s) would not produce bass response I was looking for. Was 'pleasantly' surprised at how hard these bad boys hit. Love them! Also, SVS's phone app is a game changer.

Phenomenal
Crutchfield customer from Chandler, AZ on 2/21/2021
This thing is awesome! I have never owned a higher level sub before. It's very and different and dose take getting use to distortion free bass. Totally a good thing, just different than what I am used to. I love how low this thing plays and it's super compact. I am still on the fence about it though. I did tons of reading and planning for a completely new system. I failed to realize that every home audio sub I have ever owned has been ported. I now realize I prefer ported sounding bass. Highly unlikely my better half will let me have 2 of theses. So I am currently trying out the svs pb2000 pro. Very happy with both and it's going to be hard to decide.
Pros: Very tight bass
Cons: None unless you are like me and only have ported bass experience.

Crane
Tomas from Crane on 1/26/2021
I got this sub and paired it with my PB 13 ULTRA and it definitely made a difference in filling in the room with a lot more bass. It was night and day difference. It sounds good with music, movies and anything you can throw at it. The bass hits low and super clean like nothing I've heard before. My walls rattle my sofa shakes and the lights dim a little. I had my parents come over to watch Midway and we're blown away by the performance and clean deep sound.
Pros: Everything is good about this Subwoofer. The App is so easy to understand and the bass hits like no other, good deep and clean.. ZERO distortion.
Cons: If you don't own an SVS Subwoofer it's a con in itself.

Will literally shake your sofa
Crutchfield customer from King George, VA on 12/26/2020
This thing will absolutely rattle your home. I can't turn it up loud enough to find any distortion...afraid it will shake everything off the walls. Works equally well with music or home theater. The app works nicely. I'd buy it again and would recommend to others.
Pros: Smaller footprint Convenient app Incredible output

Crutchfield customer from Jefferson, NC on 12/7/2020
I already have two SB-2000s and the SB-3000 does not disappoint. It is especially suited for music which is my passion. My advisor, Grant, did a great job listening to me explain a "void" in the bass that I was looking for and helped me to land on this sub which did the job.
Pros: Quality, value, accuracy, feature packed app interface
Cons: None

didn't intent to buy these...
Crutchfield customer from Whittier, NC on 11/12/2020
i originally spect out a mcintosh (int amp); revel speakers and jl audio e110 subwoofer, but bought marantz, kef, and svs subwoofer to save a bundle... ...and was not at all happy with the resulting sound. (the room has been acoustically modded with panels) (sources are vpi classic signature turntable and oppo bdp-205 sacd) so, i sold the kefs to a friend, gave the amp to my best ex wife, and got the mcintosh and revel combo i initially intended. it truly sounds amazing! straight up stereo, no surround nonsense, and the sub was performing to my expectations- happy to pay 1/2 the price of the jl audio and kept the sub. but there's more- even though the low end is difficult to pinpoint, i could always 'feel' the bass on the left side of the room. so i bought another sb3000 and set them up left and right, in perfect proximity to my revels (m-106). game changer. it's like having 7' tall speakers. i couldn't be happier with the subs, or any of my other gear.
Pros: value, set up, support, ease of use and most importantly very musical and muscular at the same time.
Cons: these things are heavy and i'm old.??

Wonderful upgrade and very musical bass not boom
Harry from BIRMINGHAM, AL on 11/2/2020
I was wanting to augment the bottom octave for my Cornwall IV speakers. I have a medium sized home office and this sub is amazing. I have to keep it turned down or it would overwhelm the room the power is so quick and effortless. I think the SVS app is brilliant. It worked immediately to find my sub and I set it up via the app. I love controlling the volume with the app. I used the sound isolation feet by SVS and the sub puts out perfectly accurate and musical bass. For a 2.1 system it integrates well and blends into the room and the sound feels like it is only from the main speakers. The piano black finish is completely worth the extra money. Crutchfield did their usual great job shipping the product and SVS packages the sub to hold up very well in transit. I would not hesitate to buy this again or recommend it to others.
Pros: Accurate and musical bass and SVS phone app is priceless
Cons: Really nothing

Michael from EDMONDS, WA on 10/31/2020
I now have 3 of these along with my M&K 350THX. I did not want the Ultra 16s because they are so huge. These guys really thump, are very musical, and adding 3 of them to my M&K, I have bass beyond my wildest expectations. Accurate, musically correct, and in your chest levels. I have 2 sub-outs split with Y RCAs. Movies and music, both excellent bass.
Pros: Very accurate and tight bass

Sharpsburg
Kenneth from Sharpsburg on 10/27/2020
Had it for about 3 months now. Although it is a great subwoofer, I can't say I'm overly impressed. I have the older smaller SB-2000 and from what I'm hearing, it's just as powerful and more dynamic than the SB-3000. I've experimented with both on or one off, different positions in the room and adjusted the settings on both (The bluetooth settings are great and convenient with the 3000 BTW) but I just can't see where the 3000 is better than the 2000. I was hoping the break-in would settle it in, but not really. I bought a "scratch" one, so that has me wondering if maybe something isn't quite right with the amp inside, because there is no defect on the outside. While it does play low frequency with some punch and adds to the overall bass to the room, I'm just not sold that it's any better than the SB2000.
Pros: Low Bass without the boom.
Cons: Not any better than the SB2000.

Crutchfield customer from Henryville, IN on 10/26/2020

Excellent bass!
Crutchfield customer from Eureka, MO on 8/24/2020
Excellent bass -- purchased two to supplement Klipsch Cornwalls and Fortes when watching movies!
Pros: Relatively lightweight and small compared to ported subs, but still powerful enough as a pair to produce excellent base during movies!
Cons: Wish I knew of a better way to adjust both simultaneously when switching between music and movies.

It empresses all who have heard it
Derek from FRISCO, TX on 8/13/2020
Wasn't sure which sub to get for my new home theater set up due to the size of the room. (20'x22'-12' ceiling and about 30% open on 2 of the walls) My advisor Drew recommended I give this one a try and he nailed it! It runs a perfect balance of shaking the floor (even though it's sitting on a Auralex SubDude-HT) during movies and providing solid, tight bass drums while listening to rock music. It kicks you in the chest and then it's gone! I will probably add a second one just to fill in the room better but that is not this subs fault, it's the volume of the room and it's not an immediate requirement at all. The SVS app works perfectly to control it. SVS made an amazing sub and Crutchfield did an excellent job of representing it!
Pros: -Solid construction -amazing sound for the size -SVS app
Cons: None!

SVS SB-3000
Crutchfield customer from Waipahu, HI on 7/4/2020
My primary interest is two channel audio, running a Parasound Halo front end with B&W 805s speakers. I was looking for a little more visceral impact and definition than my SVS SB-2000 could provide in my 24 X 12' room, especially at low to moderate volumes. The SB-3000 delivered in spades - both powerful and delicate. Is the grill a bit tacky? Do I miss auto room calibration? Not enough to complain about, especially at this price point. Kudos to SVS for eliminating the bright blue on/off light. I wonder why there is no provision for turning the sub off via the (excellent) blue tooth phone app? Crutchfield's service is the best, and I can recommend a buy without hesitation, unless you are an extremely high SPL freak.

It Trully is the Velvet Glove of Subwoofers
Yomar from ANCHORAGE, AK on 5/31/2020
Perfect subwoofer for music and great for movies. Truly if you want the best sub for music and dont want to go over $1,000 than this is it, very powerful punchy base that you will feel in your whole apt or house and your neighbors won't aprove ??. And great for movies as it can give you those lows that you need but if you want the best for movie's go with the 2000 PC pro. I own both, the best of both worlds.
Pros: Music

SVS SB-3000
Crutchfield customer from Plantation, FL on 5/25/2020
Excellent subwoofer. It replaced my 12yr old Velodyne DPS-10 which was a very good subwoofer in its day but filling my 26x18ft living room was a bit of a challenge. The SVS SB-3000 works very well in such a size room. I like the smartphone app which allows you to adjust the parameters to suit the room acoustics. It really does give the classic "punch in a velvet glove" which Velodyne was once known for but they have since seem to lost their way :( I also got the Soundpath Bluetooth transmitter/receiver package. Works very well and allows the subwoofer to be placed anywhere in the room. I found the best place was opposite the main speakers on the back wall. The main speakers are the excellent KLH Kendalls. Pure 2 channel stereo baby! I am using Tidal for HD music streaming, TCL Roku TV via a Cambridge Audio Magic+ DAC pre-amp fed into a NAD C268 power amplifier. Gotta love NAD! Way back in the 1980's I had a NAD 3240PE. One of the best integrated amp's of the time. I'm going to get the isolation feet for the SB-3000. Thanks to Cutchfield's loyalty points, it'll be almost half price. After I bought the KLH's earlier this year from Crutchfield, they even sent me a card saying thanks. You have me for life Crutchfield! Did I say Crutchfield enough? ;-)
Pros: Deep bass extension, room filling room
Cons: Flimsy small rubber feet. Why not include the isolation feet as standard?

SVS SB-3000
Crutchfield customer from Blue Springs, MO on 4/21/2020
Excellent sub. I am really happy with the SB-3000. Just an insane amount of bass, but you can never have enough! I already had a PSW505 Polk sub. I was just going to replace it with the SB-3000 but found it blends well with the rest of my Polk set up, so I use both. The SVS really shines for that low end-hard hitting base. Makes my whole system come alive and sound so "large". I just turned the Polk sub down a bit so it isn't over driven. Highly recommend the SVS SB-3000.

If you've Ears of Experience & Wreckless Enjoyment of Their Limits
Crutchfield customer from Tampa, FL on 4/12/2020
I had FULL-ON-NUTJOB-MADHATTER laughing fits interspersed throughout the film I (recklessly) chose to debuting this { LITERALLY THE BEST SUBWOOFER AT ANY PRICE [unless you go higher in SVS's product line] PERIOD!!! } Brilliant Box of Pure DearGodsThey're INTHEROOM!!! That film was Doctor Sleep. Admittedly I've been w/o a subwoofer for more than a decade, maybe two, but I've come through being a film major at Uni, working in the industries, ratcheting sub boxes of unknown amperage into the back of turbo SubieWagons, hot off the BigBox floors home audio first consumer Sony DVD I could afford, past prosumer, approaching audiophile OmegaLevelNerd since BBS's & call boxes, I'm'a TELL YOU THIS: Doctor Sleep is terrifying. It IS NOT a safe movie to watch. Really. Now all that being said, here's the punchline I couldn't stop repeating outloud & bustin' ma'gutz'o'er: Every rep, company, person, and review I read unanimously agreed with the Infinite Dominance of SVS's SB-3000, bar better via SVS, SAVE THIS CAVEAT: {paraphrased...} "... But if you're marveling at SVS's SB-3000 now, you'd only be hearing half their story, because to truly experience the breath and quality of this subwoofer... YOU'VE GOT TO HEAR THEM IN PAIRS!!!!" Throughout Doctor Sleep's ~3 UNRELENTING HOURS OF SHEAR FEAR I felt SVS's SB-3000's Bass crawl my floors, up the corners of the rooms & right on top of my shoulder, wrapping my throat in HOLYSPL: SINKHOLE TBD. Ordered #2 DA NEXT
Pros: LITERALLY CAN'T BE BEAT AT THIS PRICE, Don't { NEED } bigger unless you're filling MASSIVE [say 50' x 30' w/ 30' ceilings ?!?] spaces, and PLEASE JUST TRY THEM AS PAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yourself if you do think YOU need more thump in yer rump than SVS magic'ed into their SB-3000 SUBWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFEEERRRRrrrrrrr.
Cons: YOU'LL BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE NORMAL LIFE UNTIL YOU: TRY. THEM. IN. PAIRS! If you dig anything from Kraftwerk to Aphex Twin & Squarepusher, you've found the antithesis of a subwoofer with ~maybe-even-one-slight~ con. Buy 'em. Buy 'em ALL!!!

Cons: Don't mine the metal grill, but the top and bottom is not covered by the grill, just open. Prefer a fabric grill instead, better at blocking pet fur and dust out.

High quality
Crutchfield customer from Boise, ID on 3/22/2020
Aside from its good looks I noticed an immediate improvement in bass, especially with music. I have it sitting on an isolator (IsoAcoustics ISO 200), which elevates the sub about 3 inches from the floor. Installing and using the app on my iPhone was a breeze and the settings work fine for music and movies, I don't even need to mess with it now. Every day I notice the difference.
Pros: Good looking cabinet, deep bass, easy app.
Cons: Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

SVS SB-3000
Crutchfield customer from Leesburg, VA on 1/15/2020
A very high quality sub. I purchased this for both home theater and music. All the reviews I had read are pretty much spot on. A very good "all arounder", likely a bit better at music. If you want more rumble on movies, you'll want to go with the ported version. I would have bought the PB 2000 Pro, but I did not have the space. This box had the WAF. Still, this is an excellent sub with great support from Crutchfield and SVS. I've called both several times for setup assistance. Very pleased.
Pros: form factor. great bang for the buck. great all around choice.
Cons: movies not as thunderous as I would have liked.

Awsome subwoofer!! Cannot believe this much output from a subwoofer this size! I also purchased the SVS Sound Path Wireless adapter which allows easy repositioning to find the best location for a specific room geometry. The ability to use the App on my phone to make adjustments from my listening position is very useful. Thanks to J.C. at for suggesting the SB-3000. All my purchases from Crutchfield have been a pleasant experience including customer service through shipping and delivery.
Pros: Great sound, easy to setup, great phone App to select settings on the SB-3000. Great price for this level of performance!
Cons: None I have found at this point.

I replaced an SVS PB12 with this sub and the upgrade was dramatic. I have a fairly large theater room, the SB12 was adequate but this SB3000 really opens up and adds big time punch to both my surround sound and stereo music. The base sounds are quick and detailed.

How Deep Does Your Love Go?
Darryl from Youngstown, OH on 6/4/2019
The SB-3000 is one competent sub-woofer that provides power and big attitude from a small box. SB-3000 isn't scared to punch, kick and claw it way through your chest with massive bass. Great job SVS for creating this midget of a small monster. I had buyer's remorse, because I just bought the SB-2000, but returned the unit for this beast.
Pros: - Fantastic Performance with movies and music - Easy to Setup - Better Bass Management (APP) - Great Built - Small Form Factor

I purchased the SVS SB-3000 sub to replace a 15 year old Velodyne 12 in ported and powered sub. Very good sub in its day, but was due for replacement, and looking for one that had a good balance between home theater and music listening. I followed the set up instructions exactly and used the app to make all of the adjustments. I thin started performing sound tests with different test tones. One thing was clear, this sub's response is very flat across its range and I could tell immediately it was much tighter than the Velodyne. I then listened to music and the results were outstanding, smooth, effortless with no boominess whatsoever. It is a perfect sub to listen to music and compliment my KEF R-3's, which are crossed over at about 60 Hz, extremely well and seamlessly. For theater, I was expecting I may lose a bit going to a non-ported sub. NOT THE CASE AT ALL! All of the classic low end movie scenes came through very strong and I was not wanting more. All in all, a perfect sub for the right balance of music listening and theater. I plan to purchase a additional one to compliment my theater, with both subs placed on the floor and between my front speakers. Will add another review once I do.
Pros: Extremely flat response, blends seamlessly with the rest of the speakers. The App was easy to use and allows for easy adjustment while listening.
Cons:

Dynamic, tight bass
Dewayne from Edmond, OK on 3/10/2019
Replaced a less powerful and smaller subwoofer with the SVS. What a difference! Very happy about this purchase, and the smartphone SVS app makes adjustments (if needed) easy. Thanks Crutchfield.
Pros: Simple set up, great smartphone app Incredible sound enhancement
Cons: Heavy, but probably unavoidable

effin amazing
Ernesto from Westminster, MD on 2/13/2019
I'm finally investing in my system after years of running a popular brand (Bose). And all I can say is that this this SUB is amazing. It's a great compliment to my KEF LS50's. Music and movies sound fantastic and just can't say enough about how pleased I am with the SB-3000. I considered the SB-2000 but glad I went with this one and no regrets.
Pros: Realistic bass with fast response. Movies hit you in the chest. plenty powerful even in a fairly large room. The app is a great plus.
Cons: none that I can think of

Fantastic sub for a great price.
Crutchfield customer from Sunrise, FL on 1/27/2019
Incredible sub! Upgraded from a def tech pro sub 800 which isn't a bad Any means but the sb3000 blows it away in every way. Honestly never heard bass like this. Bass that goes so low that you feel. It's so smooth, crisp and powerful. Blends so well, sounds like the bass is coming from all my speakers instead of a separate sub. I'm really impressed with svs. I was considering the sb 2000 but I'm glad I went with the 3000. The app alone makes it worth the $200 more. Being able to adjust the db level of the sub from your phone is a really great. It's one of these things you don't realize how great it is until you have it.
Pros: Clean Smooth Powerful And not too big
Cons:

Neighbors beware!
Tim from Saint Paul, MN on 1/25/2019
This subwoofer (SB-3000 in piano gloss black) is the latest addition to my year of overhauling my system. It is amazing what I was missing with my old sub! The app control is what sold me on this sub along with the beautiful finish and the new 13" driver. I actually had ordered a sub from a different manufacturer but they were on a several week back-order which led me SVS. I have been able to tune it for music, movies and my turntable which I recently dug out of the attic and started using again for kicks.
Pros: Thundering bass, nice to look at, app control
Cons: the app took me a bit to get used

Filling out the frequencies with finesse
Will from Winter Springs, FL on 12/29/2018
I had to wait several weeks for the SB-3000 since SVS seemed to have supply-side problems at first. But the wait was well worth it. Although I don't have much experience with subs in stereo systems, I do know what good systems sound like and what a range of live music sounds like. With the SB-3000 in place, all genres of music are greatly enhanced, whether at low volumes or ear-splitting, HOA-complaint-inducing levels. And this thing easily digs deep enough to lend immersive excitement to movies. Most importantly, it blends seamlessly into the rest of my system. Complementing the mid-range and treble accuracy of my Quad 21Ls, the SB-3000 fills out the frequencies with similarly accurate bass extension. Throughout the process, Crutchfield was responsive and polite to my questions. This is my first experience with Crutchfield but is unlikely to be my last. Pre-amp/receiver: NAD 1600 Power amp: Arcam A90 Main speakers: Quad 21L Various sources (some of which are in line for an upgrade!)
Pros: * Deep, tight bass * Easy set-up * Intuitive app with multiple options for tricky room configurations * Great customer support from Crutchfield and SVS
Cons: * None so far
