SB-1000: Impressive deep, clean SVS-bass in an inconspicuous 13 inch cabinet.

Like a stick of dynamite, the SB-1000 is easy to conceal—but its impact hard to ignore. It’s the most SVS-bass that can be condensed into a 13 inch package. Pumping out loads of fast, clean, bottom end—action-scene punches hit you right in the gut. When it’s time to party, your music comes to life—bass lines are tight and drum beats never muddy. Elegantly finished in premium black ash or gloss piano white, it fits with any décor. And yet, it’s small enough to tuck in a corner, if you need to keep it out of the way. To maximize the slam and impact of your home theater—with a minimal footprint—two SB-1000s can be paired—one on either side of your room. (Special discount available.) For big movie and music enjoyment, in a small package, go with the SB-1000.

Great sub... clean and deep without being boomy

Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2020

I play bass guitar and upright bass and was looking for a small-footprint sub with great low-end clarity and accuracy for music but that could also shake the walls occassionally when watching movies and this sub fits the bill. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend but sure is worth it.

Hits low... fast and accurate bass for music...small foot print and prefect for a small room size 13'x13' or less.
I'm run two of these with my LS50 sounds amazing when properly tuned amd placed in the room.

I own many SVS subs. I can tell you that they are all awesome. I got this little one cause the application required a small box. While this one doesn’t pound as hard as my sb2000s but it sure holds it own for its size and price. Well worth the monies. I’ve also had to deal with SVS before and their cust service is fantastic.

It’s a very good sub even the lowest model, good enough for my 300 sq ft listening space. Should be a 5 stars. It’s due to poor delivery via Purolater as they don’t even try to deliver this since the Purolator guy is too lazy and reluctant to take a 35 lbs sub. Of course it was shown delivery attempt at 7:30pm and delivery note was left but I woke up at 7am and was at home the whole morning, tried to call CS to arrange another delivery but no answer at all so I wired online and got a feedback 3 days later. Finally I’d to pick it up at their centre and moved it all the way from to my 4th floor condo. Never has this kind of experience with other couriers.

A little over a week after it arrived SVS replaced the SB-1000 with a new improved SB-1000 PRO at the SAME PRICE.
I wish my research had hinted I was paying full price for a product days away from being discontinued. I didn't like my buying experience but it is an amazing subwoofer and it arrived well packaged (double boxed).

The subwoofer sounds good but definitely not four times as well as my old Polk Audio PSW110 -- considering that I paid only $175 for that PSW110 (brand new, no tax, free shipping).

Very overrated and contrary to reviews online, customer service is sadly lacking. Try Monolith or HSU instead, as they’re far better value.

I had a Dali E-9f that started to die so I went for this as a replacement around the same price, however it is a major upgrade. Depth is a different class to the Dali and it seems very responsive too.

I've never had a serious sub., so when I got this, I wasn't sure what to think of the sound, or how I wanted it to sound. I bought it to upsize the JBL LSR305 gen ii's on my computer desk.

Well... that's what I bought the LAST sub for. 5" monitors tend to sound lean in bass, with holes down on the bottom, even. Not to mention when they really get pushed at frequencies below 100hz, the ports start mucking everything up... not so much with chuff, but definitely smearing. They start punching the wall in a way that hurts me.

No replacement for real displacement. Gotta have big woofers pushing air to get big noises. So no matter how good the mids and treble are, they always sound lean. This is a 12" woofer. 12 is a bigger number than 5.

For years I ran them in tandem with a Dayton FLUB-1000, 10" driver with bottom-firing port. It was always kinda boomy, uneven, and undistinct, but it did the job of adding low frequency content to offset the HF dominance of the speakers. Without it they sounded bright, and sometimes the Dayton would at least latch on in a way that somewhat made sense. No happy spot for it though. Either you set it up so you can barely hear it and nothing hits like it's supposed to, or you ALWAYS hear it, kinda doing its own thing. Very uncontrolled response. Not the best extension. When you get into electronic music and a synth line or 808 takes that extra dip down and the woofer stops moving, it is completely immersion breaking. When it was fully there, it sounded good...

I almost wanna say I was a bit disappointed when I first set up the SB-1000. The Dayton was no more near as punchy or accurate, but it seemed to have a lot more energy and presence. So transitioning away I felt like I wasn't hearing the new SB-1000 like I should've been. I found myself turning it up too high, setting the crossover too high, setting the phase in a way that separated it from the speakers. It was to me just like the Dayton, but worse. Boomy and very inconsistent.

The opposite ended up being true. Over the past few days of listening and dialing in, I've realized this sub is ALWAYS there, even when you think you don't notice. I just had to stop trying to turn it up to make it sound like I thought it should. Some of the music I was used to actually just didn't have that much bass. But man, it still sounds good with that sub. It just follows kick drums and bass guitars so closely you don't realize how much it's actually doing for the sound. The musicality of this thing is on another planet compared to those cheap subs. Once you dial it in (and dial yourself in) it is a completely different world of bass.

What really cemented this was when I DID open it up with bass heavy music. I cranked my system volume all the way up and not only did several pictures nearly fall off of the wall, but in fact my entire body was vibrating. I could feel my eyes shake. It hit me so hard I broke out in sweat. My hurricane proof windows were trembling. And where the Dayton had holes, this was steady across frequencies, with none of that phantom bass dropouts on really low synths and bass notes. No, it digs all the way down into the tracks. And in my head it was a eureka moment. "This sub doesn't lack bass at all, it's just accurate to the music!"

After that I went to more neutral music at moderate levels and it blended seamlessly back in with no boominess. You just kinda know it's there. Turn it up and the kicks punch your chest a little, while the bass guitar cradles the snare and guitars. The speakers themselves sound bigger. I also find that even though it sounds overall less prominent than the big flubby Dayton crapbox, it actually picks up a lot of slighter things that the Dayton either hid under blobs or completely missed. There are all sorts of songs where I didn't know the bass wasn't flat but in fact rolling around and/or having multiple 'hits' or 'stages' to it. "Detailed" has never been my word for bass, but for stuff with more going on in the lowest registers, it has opened me up to all kinds of new nuance in old favorites. And again, it does still hit WAY harder than the 10" ported Dayton, right when it's called to.

It's accurate and controlled. Clean at all times. Mean when it's meant to be. Polite when it's asked to be. I love it! Pretty plain, but well-built. People say ported is better for movies and games, but I don't know. I did buy this for music and it excels at it, BUT, when I am gaming or watching movies, it rumbles plenty, without booming-out distractingly on the shorter sounds. It still sounds full and even when it's bringing the sound effect boom boom, without overpowering the room at high volumes. I think that's the difference. In this room, all a port would do for music, games, or movies, was make it harder to get the correct response and fullness out of it. I can't compare, but it seems like same boom boom, just more accurate. Not to mention the compact cab may open up placement opportunities in the smaller rooms this thing will demolish like it's another Tuesday.

Perfect for this 10'x12' room with standard 8' ceiling. I put it under my desk right in the corner of the room. The granularity of the phase adjustment is nice, with it being so close to toed in speakers that I am also close to, it's not a perfect 0, 90, or 180 for ideal bonding. The sweet spot was closer to 45 degrees, but not exactly. On tick makes the difference. The knobs have at least 30 odd soft stops for easy tracking of adjustments. They're nice knobs. I feed my preamp to the sub's inputs and let its crossover cap my JBL's down at 80hz by letting the sub feed them. Any speakers you plug into the output will be capped at 80hz, which I think is reasonable, considering you wouldn't want to set this sub higher than that in most uses. I set the low-pass for the sub itself 2 clicks below 80hz because setting it right up to the speaker's limit still makes them clash a little. Being so close I can get away with running it that high and honestly that is about the range where the JBL's really drop off anyway. It works nicely. I find that not feeding stuff below 80hz does clean up their midrange. I never thought the clarity/width thing could be true crossing over subs with small speakers, but it is! They sound better at all frequencies!

This thing has a lot more to give, too. I'm not even running it at 50% volume. A little below 12 o clock is an adrenaline rush with loud bass-heavy music.

I love it. I think the sealed cab definitely gives an advantage to desk setups. You can put it close in a smaller room and not worry about nulls too much, as long as the volume and phase are right, it is almost too steady and musical. You forget about it until it's not there. I just kinda know when things I've heard a lot sound suspiciously better and remember to say "Thanks, SVS!"

And that's why I say start here. I feel like this gives a better sense of how a sub is supposed to sound. What they should and should not be doing. I think reviewers who say this sub sounds weak or boomy probably haven't set it up right, used it in the wrong space, or simply thought it would do something a closed sub isn't supposed to do. This thing will do a very poor job of adding bass to your stuff. But if it is there, it will pick it up in a BIG way. When it's not, it will be subtle, but if you pay attention you still notice the significant difference across the entire range of sounds.

Avendo deciso di aggiornare il mio vecchio sistema 5.1 (unico bundle Yamaha) ero nel dilemma di accoppiare ad un set di casse (la mia scelta caduta sulla serie Dali Spektor) un subwoofer adatto. Tenendo conto che il mio ascolto è 50 musica 25 film 25 games, ho privilegiato nella scelta ad un sub che fosse innanzitutto musicale anche a costo di rinunciare a qualche frequenza ultrabassa, per cui avendo letto ottime recensioni sui sub SVS, ho puntato l'SB1000 o il PB1000, ma poi sia per dimensioni (il PB più generoso) e tenendo conto che i sealed permettono di avere un basso più controllato, ho optato per questo modello. Ho uno spazio di ascolto non molto grande per cui la potenza offerta è più che sufficiente, va settato un pochino con il sintoampli (ho uno yamaha che è di default un pò avaro nel dare potenza al sub per cui si deve smanettare un pò), ma direi che è una bestiolina da tenere a bada perchè fa tremare i quadri e si consigliano vicini complianti...Il basso con la musica è rapido, forse non rapidissimo, ma lo trovo di qualità; come da grafico della frequenza dire che sotto i 30-40 Hz si avverte una ridotta presenza, ma per quelle frequenze occorre un sistema ported. Penso che se un domani mi trovassi ad avere una stanza di ascolto più grande acquisterei un secondo sub di questo modello per guadagnare in potenza piuttosto che passare ad un altro tipo.
