Just got my 1st svs sub. Wow they go DEEEP. I had a 10" velodyne sub for 20 years and it seemed fine. Its amazing how much subwoofers have improved. The tactile response and frequency range is mindblowing comparatively. I got the bottom of the line pb1000 pro so i can only imagine how that 4000 sounds.

@@bob-jb8eh hey I know your comment is a old one and you probably made your decision already but my little tooth sent in my experience the 4000 would work in your small room your medium size room in your large room as long as you run your calibration and integrate it with your other speakers you’ll be just fine you would love it

Loving all of the subwoofer reviews, for being average guy and saving money have you thought about doing DIY items? I was looking at buying a lot of the reviewed items here but I decided to build one myself with an 18" woofer in a sealed box, overall costed about $450 for materials and everything and I love this (massive) little thing. It definitely excels more in the home theater department, it works well for music but I don't consider it to be the strong suit for it. The 2 main components were the Dayton DCS450 paired with the Jung sd300. The box is double front baffled, 18.5 x 18.5 x 21.5 outside dimensions not the most optimized build ever but as mentioned before, it's been great.

I too Love SVS. I have Dual PB16 Ultras and what can I say? Quite Scary lol. Unbelievably clean bass and gorgeous to look at too. Just incredible subwoofers honestly

I love velodyne at 17 i got a insane deal for a spl 12r and wow and before that i had the velodyne va1215 and that shook everything. i saw that velodyne in the back of one of your other videos and i cant wait for that review. been waiting for it

Seen you last night on Cheap Audio Man but I was watching the replay so couldn't say "hi"!

Buying one brought me here. Nice concise and informative review. Any thoughts on the use of the isolation rubber feet ? Looking forward to hearing mine.

Correct me if I am wrong.....didnt you post a review for an onkyo tx-nr1030 receiver years ago? Your voice sounds like the same guy that did it. Really liked watching it, since I own one. Great job on your finds! You seem like a real down to earth guy...would love to hang and talk ht and hifi. I'm in Milwaukee area.

Great sub!

Hello Audio Electronics how do you the SVS SB 4000 is a great sub?

Thanks, good review.

I ordered mine last week Saturday, 05-29-21, two days before Memorial Day and it will be here today, 06-03-21. I ordered right from SVS and I got the plain finish because I don’t like how easy the glossy attracts fingerprints. I got a smoking deal at the outlet for 1099.00, $1154.00 with tax and I talked to someone by phone after the order and their customer service seems like it will be first rate. I was told to constantly check the outlet because products move quickly. I love their upgrade program, prices when you add two subs and their 5 year warranty. I’m coming from Rels, T3, T5i, R328 and T7i so it shall be interesting and my purpose isn’t home theater it will be two channel only. I like the tune ability with this sb4000 and I already downloaded the app. My intended speaker will probably be Magnepan 1.7i, I’m currently using Kefq350 and I might try a pair of Kef Ls50 metas. Absolutely no one on KZread or in any reviews or forums could answer my questions of speed and performance with a flat panel speaker like Magnepans, which are extremely quick. I know how Rels perform because I have had Magnepan 1.6QR in the past and used them with Rels. Rels are seamless to integrate and sound great, but lack the output that I crave unless I put up a ton more in cash and in the end, I just may have to do this, but for now I have never owned an SVS sub or speakers and I welcome the experience and the tweak ability. I got rid of my last set of highend speakers because I don’t want any speaker with a built in amp, because they won’t do what a separate sub and speakers will. Rels go up in price drastically from $2500 to $7500 for the top in Rel S25, which is insane, but it’s a Rel. I wanted balanced inputs to work with my preamp. All components that will be used will be Audio Research, VPI and Aurender. I’m looking forward to the experience and I enjoy your reviews, simple and to the point.

Gluboost in black will fix that crack. Had damage on PB-4000 and used Gluboost black to fix it. Had to buff it out with fine buff pads. Search KZread and it will show you how. Especially for a good find like this!

Hi Dustin How does it compare to that Rythmik 15" sealed you reviewed before? Thanks

eventho i know a high excursion isnt good for the sound of a speaker or sub, i still want a really high excursion subwoofer just to look at it and show off

Would you recommend going with 2 sb 3000 then 1 sb 4000?

SVS has definitely crept up in price, but I definitely think that was intentional, so they can sell to brick and mortar stores like BB. SVS is still one of the best values in subwoofers, especially if you are like me and you put a premium on looks and quality. Rythmik, PSA and HSU sure do have some awesome subs also and each brand has their own set of priorities. Great time to be a home theater bass junkie!

Dustin, I scored a 7 speaker (w/ 2 towers) klipsch system with a Sony receiver for 1k even. Bought it from Offerup. Granted it’s last gen Klipsch. I’d like to utilize my towers but I hear most audio will come from the center channel. I haven’t set up the system yet FYI.

Congratulations on the new speakers! Sounds like you got a pretty good deal, especially since the set came with 7 speakers and a receiver! What models? Most of the dialogue for movies and video games will come through the center speaker but that doesn’t mean you won’t be utilizing the towers. With proper crossovers, you can have the towers carry the low end, if you aren’t using a sub, which will allow the center to do what it does best, provide clear and detailed voices. Again, congrats! Everyone loves new speaker day!

What were your thoughts on the sb4000 vs 16 ultra? Don't think I heard you say in the video

@blazermdx

3 жыл бұрын

They are VERY similar. The SB16 Ultra is more powerful and will have more output but I bet it’s closer than most would think. Unfortunately, with the size of my room, neither of these awesome subs were sweating through anything I tested them with. I don’t think I’d ever be able to tell a big difference between the two, in a blind test. If you have a larger room, I would probably go with the SB16, as I don’t like leaving anything to question, when it comes to subs. With that said, at the price of the 16, I’d probably grab the sealed 18” Rythmik. Too many great subwoofer options!

Unfortunately, I don’t have any personal experience with either model so I can’t tell you for sure. From everything I’ve read, sounds like the Monolith will have the performance advantage but it’s also larger. If I were in your shoes, and trying to decide between those two subs, I’d probably go with the Monolith. Either sub will likely meet or exceeded your expectations. Let me know which one you grab, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for stopping by, my friend!

To be totally honest with you, I actually preferred the DD12 in my room. The SB4000 is a fantastic sub with possibly a little more depth but the DD12 blended just beautifully with my system. I have a small room though, so take that into consideration. I’m guessing, in a blind test, you’d be hard pressed to distinguish the two. Both are excellent subs!

That’s a nice soundbar, congrats! If you use the soundbar for movies and you have the room, I would definitely go with the PB4000. I like sealed subs but that’s mostly due to the smaller cabinets. If you have the room, the PB4000 will have more output. And yes, adding a high quality sub to that awesome soundbar, will definitely improve the experience. Just make sure you spend time in choosing the best placement for the sub and dialing in the proper sub settings.

Thank you for the suggestion! I usually focus on the used market but I do buy new products every once and a while, when there’s a good sale. If you have a $200 budget, I’d check out the Klipsch R-12SW when it goes on sale and the Polk PSW10 can also be had for under $200. Another solid option if you can stretch the budget a little is the Monoprice SW-15. Or check out your local used market, where you can usually maximize your buying power:)
