For chest-thumping movie slam and impact and sheer low frequency performance for the price, the PB-2000 subwoofer destroys larger and more expensive subwoofers, dipping all the way down to 17Hz without sacrificing musicality or speed in transients. The subwoofer features a front-firing 4-inch high-flow port with inner/outer port flares and energizes rooms of all sizes with extreme low frequency output for jaw-droppingly powerful and realistic movie and music audio experiences.

Commanding 12-Inch SVS High Output Driver

Commanding 12-Inch SVS High Output Driver

At the heart of the SVS PB-2000 ported box subwoofer is a newly engineered 12-inch 2000-series driver with dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimized motor for nearly distortion-free performance. A reinforced Nomex spider was integrated for improved linearity and driver control, especially important when the STA-500D amp is pushing the subwoofers to their maximum output levels. To ensure the PB-2000 can withstand punishing output levels long into the future, the driver also features a durable low-creep rubber long-throw surround and integrated tinsel leads to maximize longevity.

Powerful and Sophisticated Sledge STA-500D Amplifier

Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier

The PB-2000 Subwoofer’s Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier features specs and features normally found in subwoofers costing two or three times as much. Conservatively rated at a robust 500 watts RMS continuous and 1,100+ watts peak dynamic, the amplifier has brains to match its brawn. A sophisticated DSP in the amplifier includes an array of filters and volume, gain, and phase controls for fine-tuning performance. The innovations don’t stop there though. A frequency-dependent limiter/compressor algorithm with adjustable attack/release and compression parameters offers the ultimate in refined behavior at the drive limits of the subwoofer system.

With cabinet dimensions of 20.9” x 17.3” x 22” and weighing 66 lbs, the PB-2000 is nearly 40% larger and twice the weight of the SB-2000.

Most Amazing Subwoofer ever

It is an amazing speaker. Took a little to dial in my AVR, but once I did it, the subwoofer sounded amazing. Will not look for any other company other than SVS for my futures speakers & subwoofers.

Tremendous subwoofer.

Upside: amazing performance. Downside: finding rattles and creaks throughout my home. This sub is outstanding for the price. Can't say enough great things about it. Recommending it to everyone I know.

Love it

This is my second PB-2000 now in my theater room and having two of these beasts now rattles stuff off my walls. It is authoritative deep bass. I had been looking for a PB-2000 non pro edition to go along with my other one for a while and got lucky when SVS started the black friday sale and brought back the non pro versions of the subs. I have used many different subs, mostly the mainstream ones from Polk Audio, Klipsch, and JBL and nothing compares to the SVS that I have tried.

Just epic

I came from using 2 PSW-505's to using just one PB-2000 and what a difference. The SVS subwoofer is so much better. It can reproduce the lows beautifully and isn't boomy like the psw's were. The bass just sounds more expensive. It makes movies come alive and is truly the best purchase for my Klipsch reference premier theater setup. I am very impressed with this sub. I have used many subwoofers from JBL, Polk, Klipsch, etc but none of them sounded so deep and well pronounced as the SVS. I will definitely be sticking with SVS in the future for my bass needs.
