Proprietary  13.5”  high-performance  SVS  PB-3000  Subwoofer  Driver  -  optimized  for  ported 

cabinet design.

8-layer  aluminum  at  wire  edge  wound  3”  voice  coil  for  ultra-low  distortion,  e cient  heat 

dissipation, exceptional linearity and nearly zero power compression.

Two  massive,  dedicated  toroidal  ferrite  magnets  generate  unparalleled  levels  of  magnetic 

force to drive the highest levels of excursion, SPL, and start/go power for the deepest and most 

authoritative bass possible.

High density FEA-optimized cast aluminum basket provides unequaled levels of rigidity, tensile 

strength, and energy transference available from a subwoofer.

Dual  24-strand  copper  and  Nomex  composite  high-temperature  leads  woven  through  the 

suspension provide a remarkably durable electrical connection from the ampli er to the voice 

coil.

Premium  glass  ber  laminated  dustcap  and  reinforced,  vented  paper-composite  cone 

sub-structure ensure a light, rigid, and neutral radiating surface.

Precision  machined  motor  elements  and  narrow  tolerance  suspension  parts  produce 

unmatched  linearity  at  full  excursion  for  exceptionally  tight  and  fast  response,  even  at 

reference volumes.

Extreme oversized low carbon vented steel U-yoke and top plate provide superior cooling and 

improved magnetics for maximum performance and e ciency.  

Copper ring shorting sleeve reduces gap induction and distortion, enhances thermal conduc-

tivity.
