About your SV Subwoofer 

SV Subwoofers 

Other subwoofers might look like them —

 but  virtually none 

work 

like them.  

Not at this price.  SVS’s are decidedly different, in how they are designed, produced, 
sold, and even in the exceptional customer service after the sale.  No surprise then, 
you could have spent 

much 

more and 

still 

not come close to the value and 

performance our 

Powered Box 

lines provide.  But what makes a subwoofer an 

SVS

??? 

 

Quality parts, sane prices.  

You might be surprised at how inexpensive the 

components in most 

not-so-inexpensive 

subwoofers might be.  At SVS we scour the 

earth for the best, most cost effective parts (if we don’t make them ourselves), and 
meld them into finely tuned designs that define high performance home theater (HT) 
and music bass.  Still, cost is always the 

second 

consideration at SVS.  Want 

woofers, amps, or even binding posts?  We’ve tested and discarded plenty that didn’t 
meet our tough standards. If we use it, whatever “it” is, you know it made the grade.  
 

Get “cube-ular”.  

Typical subs require heavy internal bracing and many we’ve 

seen are simply poorly made.  We did a host of studies that optimized the materials, 
the size, and even the enclosure finish to ensure a rigid design that was still compact 
and able to take the abuse your family and friends can dish out.  Proudly “Made in 
the USA”, like most other SVS parts, the cabinet is no 

ordinary 

box.  Selling direct 

means your sub, and not glossy ads, get first priority.  SVS is quality you can 

hear

 

Stable downward firing woofer.  

Our tough box design is one plus, but we’ve 

also taken great lengths to design a downward firing driver.   Coupled with our 
unique base-plates which minimize driver reactive forces, you’ll find our subs can 
take a tremendous amount of power and remain rock solid.  Compliant rubber feet on 
allow for stable placement on a variety of surfaces.  No rattling, or buzzing allowed! 

 

Custom low turbulence port designs.  

When you listen to your trend setting 

ported sub you’ll hear (and feel) bass like never before, with a exceptionally low 
noise and distortion.  Huge, patented flared port fittings make the difference!  One 
DVD or CD and you’ll realize something special went into this product. 
 

Stylish, and understated.  

From the lightly textured, durable finish, to the 

elegant base, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to lose your sub in a corner.  SVS’s 
aren’t tiny, but this is one of those times size 

does 

matter.  There are countless brands 

of “wannabe” subs out there.  Fortunately,  you didn’t just unpack one. 
 

World-class power.  

Our Canadian-built amps are manufactured with a level of fit 

and finish, plus a collection of features and power practically unheard of at this price.  
Did we mention power?  It’s there 

in spades 

(though we rate them conservatively).  

And SVS starts with efficient subwoofer designs which don’t require significant 
levels of power-robbing equalization to go low and flat.  So our amps can be 
dedicated to reproducing  low frequencies, instead of struggling against a lack of 
enclosure space (the bane of clean, deep bass).  As a result, we don’t require the 
megawatts some subs do, instead running cool and reliable in our vented enclosures.  
These digital hybrid amps run 

so 

cool, we can even dispense with old-fashioned 

“cooling fins”!
