Black Friday 2026: Subwoofers
Black Friday subwoofer deals
A subwoofer does more for movie impact than any other single upgrade. Subwoofer sales are modest, so 12 percent under the typical street price is a good deal here.
Size the sub for the room before the sale. A small sealed sub in a large room, or a large ported one in a bedroom, is a poor buy at any price.
From November 9 we check these prices twice a week through Cyber Monday and mark each pick that hits its target.
Typical prices are what each product actually sold for when we last checked, in October 2026, not list prices. Targets are our judgment of a price worth acting on, not a forecast of what any retailer will charge.

What to expect
How these go on sale
Direct-sold brands run their own sales
SVS sells direct and typically runs its own holiday sale, usually modest. Compare its price with the retailer listings before you buy.
Two subs beat one bigger sub
A pair placed apart smooths bass across the seats. A sale is a good time to buy two of a smaller model rather than one flagship.
Ignore peak watts
The spec that matters is how low the sub plays at real volume. Our product pages quote measured extension where it exists.
Before the sale
Settle these first
Find your room's bass problems
Room modes show where bass will boom and vanish, which tells you whether two subs are worth it.
Sealed or ported
Sealed for small rooms and music; ported for output in medium and large rooms.
Place it before you judge it
Where the sub sits changes its bass more than which model you bought.
Common questions
- What is a good Black Friday price for the SVS PB-2000 Pro?
- $970 or less; it typically sells for $1,100. It is our pick for a medium room with movies first.
- What is the best subwoofer to buy on Black Friday for a small room?
- The SVS SB-1000 Pro at $530 or less, a sealed 12-inch that stays tight in a small space. The KEF Kube 12 MIE at $970 is the sealed step up.
- One big subwoofer or two smaller ones?
- Two smaller ones in most rooms. Two SVS SB-1000 Pros at their target price cost $1,060, close to one PB-3000 at $1,580, and give smoother bass across a row of seats; the single PB-3000 plays deeper and louder in a large room.
