SVS PB-1000 Pro 12" Ported Subwoofer - Black Ash

Deep, Cinematic Bass You Feel

The SVS PB-1000 Pro is a ported subwoofer built for deep, powerful, cinematic bass. A 12-inch high-excursion driver and 325-watt Sledge amplifier reach down to 17Hz, the kind of low end you feel as much as hear, and a dual-port cabinet keeps it clean even at reference volume. Full app control lets you tune it to your room from the sofa.

Why You'll Love It

• Bass you feel: The ported design and 12-inch driver dig down to 17Hz, delivering the deep, room-filling impact that makes explosions, rumbles and bass drops land with real physical weight.

• Loud and clean: 325 watts (820+ peak) and a dual-port cabinet give huge output with very low distortion, so it stays composed and effortless when you push it hard.

• Tune it from your seat: The SVS subwoofer app puts crossover, parametric EQ, polarity, room gain and three custom presets on your phone, so dialling it in for movies or music takes minutes.

Under the Hood

• Sledge STA-325D amplifier: 325 watts RMS (820+ peak) of discrete-MOSFET Class D power, controlled by a 50MHz Analog Devices DSP with response curves tuned specifically for this sub.

• High-excursion 12-inch driver: Dual ferrite magnets, an FEA-optimised motor and 13mm of clean excursion deliver massive, low-distortion output well beyond its price.

• Ported, or sealed if you prefer: The dual-port cabinet is tuned for maximum depth, and the included port plugs let you switch to a tighter sealed alignment down to 19Hz to suit your room.

CHT Insider Verdict

The PB-1000 Pro is the sub we point movie lovers to when they want genuine cinema bass without spending a fortune. Ported and tuned to 17Hz, it goes deeper and louder than a sealed sub like the SB-1000, making it the better call for home theatre and big rooms. Want tight, musical bass in a smaller space? The sealed SB-1000 is the one. Want to feel the floor move? This is it.

Pro Tip: Run it ported first for maximum depth. If your room is small and the bass ever sounds boomy, drop in the included port plugs and switch to sealed mode in the app. You trade a couple of Hz of extension for tighter control, and it costs nothing to try.
