Construction

The cabinet is made from 1" thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) cut to spec by CNC machines, then covered with a finished maple veneer, topped with a satin clear coat. The finished product is truly a beautiful, high quality piece of furniture. There are also three massive 4" ports, heavily flared on both ends. The cabinet is unbelievably solid and inert, which it needs to be to support the pair of impressive TC-Sounds TV-12 “Ultra” woofers. SVS claims that these are some of the best if not the best 12” woofers available. The spec sheet certainly seems to back this up, with over 2” of linear travel, a 97 ounce strontium ferrite magnet, and dual Nomex spiders for starters. As you will read later, my listening tests proved out that these are indeed special drivers. Power is provided by 1,000 watts RMS from the digital hybrid BASH amplifier.

Set-Up

The inputs and controls include high and low level inputs and outputs, gain control, defeatable crossover with various frequencies, continuously variable phase, power, and auto/always on switches.

In addition, there is a subsonic filter knob, with settings of 25 Hz, 20 Hz, 16 Hz, and bypass. These are used with port blocking foam plugs to allow customizing the sub to suit your taste and room. 25 Hz with no plugs will yield the highest overall SPL, while a 16 Hz setting with two plugs will give you some serious bottom trolling extension. It should be noted that in room, at each of the settings, plenty of bass was still apparent below the filter point. Like the PB2-Plus, I settled on one port plug with the 20 Hz subsonic filter setting.
