My wife has been having a garage sale for the past couple of days and when I looked out the front door to check on how things were going there set at the bottom of the front stairs to the house a huge box. Then the next thing I saw was the label "Made In U.S.A." and below that "SVS The Bass Authority". Needless to say I did a little jig right then and there and muscled this puppy into my house.
First off. The box was in one piece. No holes. No dents. Just a smooth box.
Next thing I do is to grab a knife and open the box with it standing up right. The wife and I grab ahold of the plastic that it is wrapped in, take out the foam/cardboard holders and I have this huge subwoofer setting in my living room.
One of the special things about this particular sub is the three special patented ports at the top of the sub. Here you can get an idea of what they look like.
This unit is a CS Ultra PC, so it has a built in amp. Just plug it in, set it up with Avia or Video Essentials and a db meter and you are in business.
I set the sub up late last night and since then I really haven't had that much of an opportunity to really put it though its paces.
I was able to demo Toy Story II, The Professional, The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over, The Fifth Element - (The Diva Scene) and Contact.
I was in the process of demoing Toy Story II when my wife walked in telling me that the ground was vibrating outside of my house. My thought was "Cool. Now I can compete with the rollerboomers that drive by." I literally shook pictures off my wall and this was not even close to reference levels.
Needless to say I am about a pleased with this sub as I have been with any other piece of electronics that I have ever owned.
You all know this phenomena. You get a piece of electronics gear and you can't get the smile off your face for some reason. You then proceed to shake your head in disbelief. Well, this has hit me hard since I first took the sub out of its box. Now I need to go take something to help my face stop hurting from smiling too much.
