SVS PB-12 Powered Subwoofer
« on: April 08, 2010, 12:15:11 AM »
I've got a SVS PB-12 powered subwoofer that's been used primarily for audio.  Those of you who know me and have been to my place no how I treat equipment.  This monster was gently used.  I upgradeded the original driver with the NSD driver after it was released maybe two or three years now.  This driver is what SVS has in their current models.  It has the BASH amp 375 or 425 watts, I can't remember.  It is the downfiring box, internal adjustable crossover, gain control, auto on/off (adjustable) weighs about 85 lbs.  This is an awesome sub.  Actually, it can be a frightening piece of equipment.  Enough punch to rattle just about anything inside the house including the outside gutters.  My camera is not working right now, so now pictures  :'(

I'm asking $300, no box.  I will bring it to the Audio Geek meet if there is an interested buyer.

Carl you are no good for my addiction!! :o :D
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

LOL!  I am doing strictly 2 channel in my audio room and the SVS is just too big for just music.  My wife is glad I don't use this for HT anymore.  The thunderous bass would scare my young daughter into tears.  I had the gain set to about 10:00 and 3 dB hot on the receiver.  It has plenty to offer the bass adrenaline junkies! :o :o

Jesus Carl, that's a frickin' steal for that Sub. I can't believe you're selling it. :o
Are you sure you want to ? ???

Yeah Bill, I have some sentimental value to this piece.  I'm just not using it and I want someone who appreciates quality and thunderous bass to make this big box thunder.  You are right this is priced to sell.  I think these subs, new, with shipping go for close to $700.

I would love to hear it Carl.  Hope you bring it down to the meeting this week.  I have not heard an SVS sub yet.
Got Carver?

I'm going to bump this to the top again.  I wish someone from our community would buy this.  I'd hate to sell it on Craigslist.

That is a very decent price for that sub.  Is it the black finish?

Black matte.  It's not the piano black gloss finish.  Sorry, I don't have pictures as my camera is acting up.  The sub is in excellent condition.

Sounds good!  Give me a shout when you get back home.  We'll talk about logistics.  Have a safe trip.

Regards,

Carl
