PC-2000
Product Overview
Sporting a unique and innovative cylinder design with a footprint measuring just 16.5-inches in diameter, the SVS PC-2000 subwoofer delivers unmatched bass performance per square-inch of floor space. Standing 34-inches tall with a 12-inch down-firing driver and 500 watts RMS, 1,100+ watts peak power DSP amplifier, the PC-2000 is a striking monolith of low frequency output that uses vertical height to achieve effortless bass output at all drive levels, with minimal floor space required. It is also the first SVS subwoofer to come standard with the SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System. The elastomer feet decouple and isolate the PC-2000 from the floor, resulting in tighter and cleaner bass with less room rattle and bass bleed into other rooms.

An icon of SVS subwoofer innovation, the cylinder-shaped cabinet design of the PC-2000 subwoofer lets owners benefit from the performance of a larger subwoofer, without sacrificing floorspace. Over 20 driver prototypes were built by hand and punished with rigorous real-world testing; including 100-hours straight of full power testing; before the final version of the 2000 Series driver was approved, making it one of the finest subwoofer drivers and motor assemblies in production.
Commanding 12-Inch SVS High Output Driver
The PC-2000 powered subwoofer boasts a 12-inch down-firing 2000 Series driver consisting of dual high-grade ferrite magnets and an 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 amplifier is pushing the PC-2000 to maximum output levels.
Powerful and Sophisticated Sledge STA-500D Amplifier
Conservatively rated at 500 watts RMS and 1,100 watts peak power, the Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier inside the PC-2000 subwoofer delivers effortless power for maximum SPLs and sonic impact in movies and music, while maintaining pinpoint accuracy on frequency and transient response. It also has brains to match its brawn. A sophisticated DSP offers an array of filters and volume, gain, and phase controls for fine-tuning performance, and the efficient Class-D design consumes less than half-a-watt of power in stand-by mode.
Rated at 17-270 HZ +/- 3dB, the PC-2000 features a stereo line-level RCA input and 80Hz high pass filtered output connections, continuously variable volume and phase controls, and a rear-firing 4-inch high-flow port with large radius inner and outer flanges. Black ash or piano gloss finished top caps give the subwoofer design flexibility to match a range of décors.

USCustomer Service is well with the price!
This is a fantastic Sub... Period! BUT - This review and rating is not about the sub, It's about the company and their fantastic customer service after the sale, and in my case, way after the sale. I have owned this sub for over six years, and it has performed flawlessly in our home as part of our AV system that is on for several hours a day, every day. On Christmas Eve, the sub started making all sorts of terrible popping sounds. After troubleshooting for the cause, I came to my own conclusion that the sub was blown. That evening, I decided to order a replacement and SVS had the best price on their site so I placed the order directly with them. When SVS opened the Monday after Christmas, I thought I would give them a call and see if the sub I had could be repaired. They answered the phone with a real person, and that great person spent about 25 minutes with me troubleshooting the issue. We determined that it was the amplifier. Then the great customer service tech looked up the serial number and confirmed that the sub was out of warranty. I expected this and was prepared and ready to pay for the replacement amp. But no, that great customer service tech insisted that it was not that far out of warranty and they were going to replace it at no charge. I tried to argue, but lost the fight. This all took place on a Monday morning, by Wednesday afternoon, a had the new amp in hand. Because of the excellent design, it was very easy to swap out, and I was back in business. I want to point out that, not only did they replace the amp for free, the shipped it to me free of charge, and provided a pre paid shipping label to send the blown amp back. Here I was ready to buy a replacement sub, and the same sub, by the way, and not only did I not have to, it cost me a total of $0 dollars to get my sub repaired. In summary, my 5 star review is not because of the great products, don't get me wrong, they are 5 star as well. Nor is it because they repaired my current sub free of charge. This 5 star review is a testament to their customer service. Having a knowledgeable person that wants to help solve your issue, and the company's dedication and enthusiasm in which they want their customers to be satisfied is something we just don't experience very often these days. You have a customer for life!
USAdded a 2nd PC-2000, Going Dual
I purchased a second PC-2000 once I heard they would be discontinued. Reading on the benefits of dual subs, I wanted to make sure I would be able to match my existing PC-2000, which I love. I'll admit, at first I wasn't completely blown away, however I knew that setup was key. After performing a sub crawl and relocating both subs, having my wife help tweaking phase - the room now has much fuller, better low end. Sometimes I'll turn the second sub off just to see the difference. It's a small room at 12 ft. by 12 ft., so it really slams. Songs like Animals As Leaders 'Physical Education' or movie scenes like the club fight in John Wick really show the advantage of going dual in terms of "slam" and more well rounded bass. I can also run the subs a bit lower to reduce the overall stress and remove any unwanted "sounds" from driving a single hard. Lastly, SVS's customer service is second to none. Those guys and gals that have helped me since buying my first made all the difference. Knowing that I can get a hold of someone that knows what they're talking about is huge. Thanks for a great product.
USGreat subs you and your
Great subs you and your employees make. Have not sound cheeked the receiver yet, played some techmaster peb, Bass cd back in the 90. Could really feel it like a car system. Thanks for the subs.
USHad a limited footprint available.
Had a limited footprint available. The cylindrical design fits perfectly. And the sound quality is amazing.
USExcellent products and service
This blows my old Klipsch sub out of the water. As I've aged and my ability to purchase better equipment has changed, I've appreciated better sound. Yes, it's pricier than my old Polk and Klipsch subs, but it's worth it. As space is a limiting factor, this PC-2000 was the best fit for my needs and I'm very pleased with the product (my wife not so much). Especially pleasing is the effect it has with movies that help you and your senses enveloped in them. My chandelier rattles from the next room. A great product at a great price. If you call them with questions as I did to make sure this was the best fit for me, a live person answers! If ever I have more needs (doubtful), I will definitely come back to this company!
