Up for test is the SVS PB-2000 Pro Subwoofer. Details can be found at the manufacturer's page (here).
The video linked below covers my thoughts so please watch that.
You can find the CEA-2010 test results spreadsheet here:

For those who are data-oriented, I have provided data below. And I have taken the liberty to provide an overlay of a comparison against the Monoprice Monolith THX 12 (in ported mode, THX EQ) because I have gotten many questions regarding how the two compare. In a nutshell, the two are pretty closely matched with the edge going toward the Monolith in terms of response linearity and max SPL per the CEA-2010-A/B standards. However, the SVS provides built-in Bluetooth connection for settings controls in addition to those found on the back. However, with the BT app you can also access 3 bands of P-EQ which, IMHO, is a notable feature and may be a deciding factor for some.
CEA-2010-A Results:
CEA-2010-B Results:
* Note the below impedance graph was taken by bypassing the internal power amp.
That's it. You can stop here unless you want to know about the subwoofer driver itself....
Raw subwoofer driver testing:
I went the extra mile. Using Klippel's LPM and LSI modules I extracted the T/S parameters and linear xmax based on IEC Standard 62458. It measured at about 14mm one-way. Not bad. Not the longest throw ever but pretty good for its sensitivity.

If you like what you see here and want to help me keep it going, please consider donating via the PayPal Contribute link here. Donations help me pay for new items to test, hardware to build test rigs (some speakers require different test stands), miscellaneous items and costs of the site’s server space and bandwidth. All of which I otherwise pay out of pocket. So, if you can help chip in a few bucks, know that it’s very much appreciated.
