SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution Subwoofer (Black Gloss)
A sealed, front-firing 13-inch subwoofer that brings reference-level bass to home cinema and hi-fi systems from a compact cabinet. The SB-3000 R|Evolution combines a new high-excursion 13-inch driver with a 1,200-watt RMS MOSFET Class D amplifier and a 295MHz DSP, extending to 17Hz with smartphone app control and SVS Auto EQ room correction.
Built on technology developed for SVS's flagship 17-Ultra R|Evolution line, the new generation delivers deep, impactful bass with fast transient response and low distortion. SVS quotes 20% to 60% lower acoustic THD+N in the critical low-frequency band compared with the previous SB-3000, and 50% more continuous amplifier power.

- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
