Newer model: the SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution, ranked lower, estimated 4.1/5, released Feb 2026. See every SVS subwoofers generation.

Same family: the SVS PB-1000 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.6/5), the SVS PB-2000 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, 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-2000 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.9/5), 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 well made sealed subwoofer with tight, accurate bass and handy app controls, great for music and medium rooms. 13-inch sealed design with 800W RMS (2500W peak) that Audioholics measured at a 118.7dB CEA-2010-A average from 40-80Hz, and rated by SVS at 18-270Hz within ±3dB. Beautifully made with pinpoint control and flawless tonal accuracy. Sweet spot performance-to-value ratio. Three-band parametric EQ with 1Hz precision adjustment.

Cons: Being sealed, it gives up deep-bass output: Audioholics measured 96.6dB at 20Hz and 101.7dB at 25Hz, about 15dB behind the ported SVS PB-3000 from the same series, so a large room or reference-level movie bass may call for a second sub.
