occxlr8ed Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Looking to add a second sub to my HT setup. Currently have a DIY sealed 12" Peerlees XXLS + O-Audio 300W bash plate amp, which really does great in the room but looking for a bit more. Room is 4x4m. Given i'll still run the existing sub, would a SVS-PB1000 be sufficient? Fronts are LS50, Krix KDX Centre, SVS Ultra surround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefullguy Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 small room so should be fine, place it behind your seating imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occxlr8ed Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Yep was going to put the old sub behind the couch, and svs in front. Or should I do it the other way round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefullguy Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 thats the "joy" of a day of testing which position for which sub is best.. or a morning at least :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo71 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 REL HT/1205 surpasses the SB-2000 and is priced not much more than the SB-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The REL would be great, but again, even more than what i want to spend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say sits between the SB2000 and SB3000? In my mind I just always thought REL would be more expensive for comparable units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rel retails @ 1399.00 but can be had cheaper when actually buying while the SB-2000 retails @ 2000.00 but many places they are on sale for 1799 give or take. i would say the SB-3000 would be better, but I never listened to one as they are closer to the 3000.00 dollar mark.

Andre28 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Oh right factoring in price, but if they were the same price you think the SB2000 would edge it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as in the same room there is no way the SB2000Pro produced better performance. But I went in expecting very similar performance as the REL is 500w rms and SVS being 550w rms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
