SVS PB16-Ultra
The SVS PB16-Ultra is a well-known big-box ported sub, and we tested it because it’s popular and many people already own one. What stood out in our room is that it rolled off harder under 20 Hz than I expected, and we also noticed more port noise down at the bottom end compared to the Klipsch.
Pros
- +Popular high-output ported subwoofer platform
- +Powerful amp section and large enclosure
Cons
- -Noticeable roll-off under 20 Hz in real sweeps
- -More port noise at the bottom end compared to the Klipsch in our test
- -Very heavy and difficult to move (around 180 lbs)
