This Sub is great!

Amazing powerful bass like I've never had in a home theater sub. Explosions, gun fire, etc while watching Sci Fi and action movies are unbelievable. Bass is very powerful and tight with both home theater and music applications at all levels of volume. I originally wanted the SP-3000 because ports move more air than a sealed box for a home theater system, but I needed the smaller size of the the SB-3000. No worries... the SB-3000 delivers and doesn't miss a lick. No need for the ported at this level. Again, I've never heard a sub this tight and powerful for home Theater and music. I use the SB -3000 with my Ambeo Soundbar. The Ambeo Soundbar and the SB-3000 are a good marriage as both are 800w. I highly recommend the SB-3000

SVS SB 3000 rocks!

I usually don't review stuff, but just had to put out the good word on this sub. What can one say that hasn't already been said? This sub truly has bass that can be felt not just heard. Quickly dialed in the right sound option with the easy to use app. Sounds amazing! This sub is much better than my previous SVS SB 1000. Will not disappoint!

Love it

When you begin to think of how much stuff is packed into such a small package, then it starts to hurt your head. I don't know how they do it. This is my second SVS subwoofer. I've owned an NSD12 for six years, and it's been a fantastic solution to my want for deep, strong bass in a small footprint for A/V. Once I installed the SoundPath feet on the NSD12, it took the sound quality to a new level. Just get them -- they are the real deal. When I was ready to bring the NSD12 into my 2.1 system that is dedicated for music, I knew that I wanted to replace it with the SB-3000 for A/V, because whatever replaced it had to perform at least as good as the NSD12 and, once again, it had to be small in order to get the nod from my wife. These subs are so small that she doesn't even see them. The SB-3000 is a little over an inch bigger than the NSD12 in every dimension. As expected, the SB-3000 does produce stronger and deeper bass than the NSD12. SoundPath feet were installed from day 1. Break-in took a little over a week of nearly daily use. I couldn't be happier.

sb-3000 not just good sounding but the control you have from the listening seat with the phone app ! 0-180 phase adjustment really helps the sub disappear into the music, plus eq, volume control .... ive yet to push a button on the back of my sub!!!! i do it all with my phone app from the listening seat , the app works super good and super easy!

Noise Floor

Let me preface this conversation by stating that I have Vulcan ears. Let me also say that I once worked in a very high end audio shop in Mt. View, CA. . . Muons, Blades, $55k turntables, etc. Hence, I have some mild experience & have heard all manner of audio equip. Currently, my entire home theater is SVS ultra. . . towers, center, surrounds. I have had the SVS SB-1000s, then upgraded to 2000 Pro. With respect to the aforementioned 2, yes I could hear a very mild and/or faint noise floor with my ear right on top of the cone. However, when I backed away to the listening position (10'-12') it disappeared. I then decided to take a step up using the SVS upgrade program to the SB-3000s. The noise floor on these was nearly twice as audible, & I could most definitely hear them from the listening position. SVS sent me 2 amps. One was DOA, & the 2nd was a tad worse than the originals. I was told that the SB-4000 & Ultras don't have this issue. Strange how the "monkey-in -the-middle" of their lineup is the only one to have that issue. I was told by someone @ SVS that most people don't have a problem with noise floor in the 3000s, or don't care. Further, I was told that I am in the 1% that can hear it. I guess they don't engineer it for the minority that have exceptional hearing. I suppose my "OCD" is some form of disability. Isn't that some form of racism? ;) Needless to say, I sent them back & reinstated the SB-2000 Pros to my system.

Suprising output from such a small box

I have one of these in a less than optimal room to say the least. The room had large opening into other rooms on both ends and overall placement possibilities are extremely limited. In this room this sub starts to roll off pretty dramatically around 25hz, but it is still an exceptional performer for its price and size. The bass is tight and quick and it can be felt surprisingly well in movies. The amount of output this small box puts out is also quite impressive. I think that one or two of these can perform quite well in medium sized rooms. Also SVS customer support has been nothing but stellar in my experiences with them. For the most part the bass seems to be well controlled as well as there seems to be plenty of power to control the 13 inch driver.

You'll Feel It!

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

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.

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.

didn't intent to buy these...

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.

Wonderful upgrade and very musical bass not boom

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.

I have 2 sub-outs split with Y RCAs. Movies and music, both excellent bass.

Sharpsburg

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.

It empresses all who have heard it

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!

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.

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? ;-)

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.

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.

Still, this is an excellent sub with great support from Crutchfield and SVS. I've called both several times for setup assistance. Very pleased.
