SVS SB-1000 Pro
A compact 13-inch sealed cube that Audioholics found goes well beyond entry-level performance, with app control, parametric EQ, and clean 20 Hz extension. The natural pick for small rooms, music-first systems, or a pair on a budget.
- 12" driver, sealed
- 325 W RMS / 820 W peak
- 20 Hz to 270 Hz (+/-3 dB)
- SVS app with 3-band PEQ
Audioholics measured clean output to 20 Hz from a cabinet just over a foot on a side, and the app gives you parametric EQ, crossover, phase, and polarity from the couch. Sealed alignment keeps group delay low, which is why it sounds tighter on music than ported subs at this price. Two of these usually beat one bigger sub in a small room.
Watch out: Output below 30 Hz runs out in large or open rooms; step up to the PB-2000 Pro for anything over about 3,000 cubic feet.
Pros
- True 20 Hz extension in a compact box
- App control with 3-band PEQ
- Light enough to move for placement tests
Cons
- Limited headroom in big rooms
- No high-level speaker inputs
- Gloss finishes cost extra
