@TruthSeeker-lv4ns 4 года назад

Appreciate your time and Knowledge very well explained...

@n4aride480 5 лет назад

These are beast subs. I have two. I change which mode every now an then depending how I feel. I have been running sealed lately as I feel all around for music and movies, it sounds accurate and movie theater type bass. If you want absolute loud then open all ports and it will blast you. The only down side is these do tax you with finding all the rattles your room can possibly have/they create tremendous pressure in the room. When I tested the edge of tomorrow, my wife came downstairs to the theater room and ask what I was doing? The whole house is shaking...😁

@cosmikarrot 5 лет назад

I´m looking to build a 2.1 system, using Dali Spektor 1 as main speakers . Could you please recommend some active subwoofers able to drive the Dalis, I´m trying to be minimalist here, for space reasons, and still get some decent sound without the need of any external amps. Thanks in advance

@johnrussell7385 3 года назад

I know you'll lose a subsonic frequency but shouldn't opening up that last port give the airflow needed to resolve the port noise?

@Samzep 2 года назад

@sharksdelight 3 года назад

Are there any other subs in the same price and performance levels that would not chuff on that opening scene to Edge of Tomorrow?

@Cruzan9 5 лет назад

Nice! I'd love to sit in on a demo of this beast. Years ago I sat in on a demo at a friend's and the movie playing was The Matrix. Don't recall the model but the brand was Martin Logan. I imagine this SVS would be just as if not more impressive.

@therealshanelee 5 лет назад

They make a sub called balanced force. It's got dual 12's. Almost the same size as the SVS. I almost grabbed that but figured the SVS would be more capable.

@stealth418 3 года назад

I noticed port noise with my PB-16 too in extended mode. I'm willing to bet that removing the port plug from the middle port and doing standard mode will decrease the port's air velocity a bit and mitigate the port noise in the lower frequencies. Haven't tried it yet though.

@johnrussell7385 3 года назад

That was my theory I've replied to many I'm waiting for confirmation so I can place order

@Antimonkat 5 лет назад

Interesting, I've seen a lot of reviews on this sub, but I wanted to hear your take cus I think your videos and take are cool, surprized you're the only one I've heard talk about the port noise though, and heard it in the recording I thought, but didn't otice it with Zeos's review. wonder what the differnce is, something in the avr or audesy config maybe?

@akiepapageorgiou9806 5 лет назад

Great vid, i know u got 16 ultra n sb 4000, i really thinking of getting pb 4000 only small room 6m by 4m do u think it b worth going up to 16 ultra also for mostly movies and games is the ported version much better then the sealed vision? As room space is a lil issue but i can make it work

@therealshanelee 5 лет назад

The 16 destroys the 4000 for low end extension. Worth it for movies. But if your tight on space the 4000 will suit you perfectly fine.

@GoogleUsedToLetThisNameBeLong 3 года назад

@@nikissurprise6372 It's called room gain generally speaking when referring to lower HZ at +/-3db levels. And using port plugs to turn a large ported enclosure into a sealed one, generally will have lower extension because of the size of enclosure being significantly larger than the SB ones. Just one of those weird things about acoustics...

Not sure why everyone picks on SVS PB-16 for Edge of Tomorrow??? a) that frequency hits lower than the published range of the sub b) its 10 seconds c) you will not find that level on anything else, in any other movie. Its like saying.. My Porche makes a crashing noise when I drive over 200 MPH. :) I own a pair of them, and I can't find anything to complain about, but know this.. if you play EOT scene enough, you will blow that thing.

I've explained in the video about other options and why you may choose going with SVS. And hitting a certain spl level is nice. But I'm not looking to be loud. I could get a way cheaper option than your setup and hit 125db. But it'll be lacking in more important areas for my usage.
