  The PB-3000 is a fairly bulky subwoofer with a bass reflex type cabinet with 2 "charging" ports, a 13.5" driver, 800W Class D amplifier, and integrated DSP accompanied by the SVS Android/iOS application for sound customization and overall subwoofer control.
  It goes quite low (16Hz in an open space!) and can play very loudly without distortion. In a 35sqm room, it can activate (room pressurization) the entire room (feels like being inside a large subwoofer) in several scenes. With the right placement and adjustment, it can deliver incredibly good and powerful bass. Because in sound, physics plays a role, and physics says that half of the work is done by the speaker/subwoofer and the other half by the room (room geometry, listening position, objects in the room, building materials), in practice, we don't just take a subwoofer and throw it in a corner and say "oh, perfect, it sounds like this, this is how it performs," it requires proper placement and adjustment. That's why it's good, after making an investment of this kind, it is worth and necessary to call a sound specialist to properly place and adjust the subwoofer for us.
  If we care about more than one listening position, it is good, not to mention necessary, to have at least 2 subwoofers, so calculate that you will need 2. If you don't have the budget for 2 PB-3000s, a good solution is 2 PB-2000s or 2 PC-2000s or 3 SVS 3000 Micros or 4 XTZs :)
