It Trully is the Velvet Glove of Subwoofers

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.

SVS SB-3000

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? ;-)

SVS SB-3000

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

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

High quality

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.

SVS SB-3000

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.

Awsome subwoofer for the size and price!!

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.

Works great in My Application

Suits my needs in a two channel, audio only system in which I am not looking for booming, slamming bass but rather looking to fill out the bottom registers of musical content in conjunction with stand-mounted speakers, without bringing any attention to themselves whatsoever. They do the job perfectly!

Monster Bass!

This sub is an excellent addition to your home theater. I switched from a SVS PC-2000 to the 3000 series and it is night and day. I am extremely happy with this product, I can feel the bass in the ears and chest, brings movies and music to life. I plan to buy a second one in the future for a dual setup.

SVS PB3000 review

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?

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.

Huge improvement over10 yr old ported Klipsch SW

Bought new pair of Klipsch RF 7 iii speakers and decided to upgrade the old Klipsch SW (10+ years old). Hooked it up and ... WOW! Huge improvement over the ported Klipsch! So much more power/punch. The sealed system is so much tighter and true. I'd become accustomed to the needless boom. The app control is fantastic!

Great Choice - Music and Theater

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.

Fantastic sub for a great price.

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.

Neighbors beware!

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.

Filling out the frequencies with finesse

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!)
