First off, i'm very impressed SVS so far. Not just the product (which i'll get into later) but the shipping. I mentioned this in a previous post but i'm gonna bring it up again here. I placed my order for my Sub Wednesday night. On Thursday around 5pm i checked my email and sure enough there was a response from SVS saying my sub was shipped and the tracking number was attached (i love tracking numbers
) I couldn't believe that it was going to be arriving on Monday (only 3 business days). The unit was weighed at 60lbs from UPS and what amazed me is it was shipped for only $16! Great customer service fellas. Now on to the unpacking.
Pic of it boxed up:
The sub was packed very well with very nice support cushions all around the sub.
Pic of box opened in front:
Here you can see the cushions that support the sub in the box.
Pic rear view of Sub just after pulling the plastic wrap off:
Side by side comparison of SVS vs. old Kenwood 1050 sub.
Hehe not much of a comparison here.
Setup was a breeze, i read over the manual, and threw in Video Essentials for a quick sound setup. After set up i threw in a couple DVDs for a quick test. The Phantom Menace and The Matrix were first. The intro to TPM scared me. The explosion during the THX intro kinda worried me because i had read previous posts about how many people had had problems during this scene. I didn't bottom it out but be very careful during that part. Next was the Chopper Shootout in The Matrix. This sounded like a whole new scene with the 20-39. I guess there is just alot of bass my Kenwood wasn't picking up during this part because the machine gun sounded great. The explosion when the helicoptor hits the building had the whole house shaking
I checked out a few music CDs just out of curiousity and they sounded great too. To sum it up, if you want an awesome sub for a great price, go check out SVS's site. So far i'm very impressed with my 20-39.
