Same family: the SVS PB-1000 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.6/5), the SVS PB-2000 (smaller subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 4.1/5), the SVS PB-3000 (smaller subwoofer, rated 4.2/5), the SVS PB-4000 (smaller subwoofer, rated 4.2/5), the SVS SB-1000 (smaller subwoofer, rated 3.9/5), the SVS SB-3000 (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 4.1/5), the SVS SB-4000 (larger subwoofer, rated 4.2/5) and the SVS PC-2000 (larger subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.7/5).

Pros: A compact sealed 12 inch subwoofer with strong output for its size, a good fit for music and movies, now discontinued. It has a 500W RMS Sledge amplifier in a cabinet about 37cm on each side. Independent CEA-2010 testing recorded a 117.8dB average from 40 to 63Hz and 101.1dB at 20Hz. Its listed response of 19 to 220Hz covers the deep bass range.

Cons: Output of 101.1dB at 20Hz is lower than the midbass, so the lowest effects have less impact in large rooms. A sealed 12 inch driver trades some output for tight bass compared with larger ported models. At 15.8kg it still needs a dedicated spot. It is discontinued, so it can only be bought used or from remaining stock.
