No advantage. You'll be hard pressed to find a pair of 4 Ohm speakers. Most are 8, but there are some 6's out there. Virtually all receivers are happy with an 8 Ohm load.

Could it be that your crossover in your receiver is starting to roll it off? Personally I wouldn't worry about it as most people don't crossover that high anyway.

Why not just send it back under the 45 day return program? You'll be out freight, but that's about it.

There is nothing in the mass market (sub wise) that will compete dollar for dollar with SVS period. If you've owned a sub before, you won't believe how much better an SVS is at their price point than what you're used to. If you've never owned a sub before, you'll be absolutely amazed. Save up...

Why not take advantage of SVS's 45 day return policy?

Does your sub have an "auto on" feature? If so, leave it in the "auto on" mode. It will turn your sub's amp on and off with an audio signal. It draws very little amperage in the sleep mode.

Peter, just to clarify, you should only have one cable coming from one jack out of your receiver. It should say LFE out or Sub out. When you hook up your sub cable to your sub, you can normally hook it to either the L or R Sub in connector on the sub amp. If it really bothers you, you can add a...

If you are using Avia and an SPL meter, set up your receiver so that you read 85dB at the seated position with your receiver showing 00. You usually want to keep your individual gain settings below 0 if possible. The length of time it takes an electron to travel 50 ft as opposed to say 10 ft is...

Look up "exceptional service" in the dictionary and you see the SVS logo next to it. The PC-Ultra I bought was a B-stock item (reduced price). When I e-mailed SVS about the problem, they immediately apologized and shipped out a NEW PC-Ultra with no extra charge! They didn't play the "wait till...

Re-read original post and edited.

I guess those that say a receiver is "bright" or "warm" must have exceptional hearing. Take an RF-7 Klipsch and mate it with the wrong receiver and "yuck". Power it with a different amp and sonic nervana. I have a H/K and a Kenwood receivers at home. You don't need the hearing ability of a dog...

So you're saying that every receiver that puts out 100 watts should sound the same? A 100 watt receiver will sound the same as a 100 watt amp/prepro combo?

If you live in appartment, your neighbors will be banging on the walls WELL before the sub bottoms. Remember that bass travels through walls. Proper calibration with a disc like Avia and an SPL meter will keep your sup the in the proper relationship to your mains. At the levels it takes to...

I don't think ones better than the other. FedEx dropped a double boxed Behringer amp and smashed the corner of the amp. Ups dropped an SVS PC-Ultra so hard that they drove one of the pedestal legs through the driver base. On the bright side, neither carrier charged extra for stress testing my...

It all makes sense now, thanks John. Chris, periodically check Hardware for sale here on the Forum, also the Yardsale section of the Hometheaterspot, Audiogon, e-bay, and B-stock at the SVS website. You need to know how much you want to spend and be ready to pull the trigger as the used SVS's go...

I read and post in 3 different forums. If there is a well known problem with SVS amps, I'm unaware of it. I've seen an isolated incident or 2, nothing that would be considered an issue, especially considering the volume of subs they sell. Any problems that I have seen (amps, drivers) have been...

Wharever the speaker setup, go with the SVS sub. Carl

The nice thing about bass is you can't tell where it is coming from if it is crossed over properly. THX recommends an x-over of 80, but I have mine set to 60. My sub is 12 feet in front and to the left of me. if you close your eyes and try to locate it it's virtually impossible. Some people...

My SVS vibrates my seat about 12 feet away. If it didn't, I wouldn't have it! Get yourself an Acoustimass bass module if you're worried about vibration.

Just wanted to chime in about SVS's cust support. You have ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about. Their support is incredible, thier customers are gold to them and they always do the right thing.:emoji_thumbsup: I'm actually surprised that you had to wait for an e-mail back. They are extremely quick...

SOLD!! Thanks for all the interest. Carl

I would see that as an omen to upgrade. Of course I would see just about anything as a reason to upgrade. If it's under warr, have it fixed. I don't think I would sink a bunch of money in a 5 year old sub unless I paid a bunch of moola for it to begin with.

I'm building an IB sub and my favorite piece of HT gear is for sale. Leaving will be my SVSPB12/Plus2. It has approx. 2 years of warranty left that is transferable to the seller at no charge. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 only because it has been used, condition and performance is awesome. Can...
