What customers say about "Size & Weight"

SVS PB16-Ultra Subwoofer Gloss Black

Great sound, size and weight.
I did not expect that he would look so compact in my room.

SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Gloss Black

This sub is really massive. Nice looking for a large subwoofer. Excellent build quality.
Solid and massive construction looking like I have really expensive system.
This boofer is too way massive. 153lbs. This thing is might to be setted only ones.
With a 172 lbs. shipped weight and a 153 lbs. unpacked weight, moving the PB-4000 around is not an insignificant task for most people.
It's really big and heavy subwoofer. Hard to set it up. And this is completely not for small room.

What customers say about "Audio"

SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Gloss Black

This sub delivers the goods! I can hear a lot more depth and quality in the low frequency range. Music is crisp and movies are down right scary!
It's the sound I've been looking for for a long time. Highly recommend.
Extremely linear response all the way down to 16 Hz.
I can strongly recommend this subwoofer for electronic music enthusiasts. Amazing sound on every level.
Some kinds of sound mix can’t really be fully reproduced by a small subwoofer. To competently reproduce deep bass with low distortion, a lot of air displacement its needed.

What customers say about "Features"

SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Gloss Black

Very accurate, tight bass with excellent transient response throughout a very broad frequency range. Great for both music and movies.
The bass is amazing even at low volume. It's accurate and no rolling. The whole house shaking.
The first time I felt the base from this beauty an involuntary smile crossed my face. Who knew base could feel this good!
Beautifully engineered and extremely well made using double thick MDF construction. It sits on large screw-in rubber feet that provide solid support, whilst the construction is incredibly inert.
SVS have trickled down many of the specs and features found on the 16-Ultra Series.
