    • SVS PB12-Ultra/2 Subwoofer - Signed

    SVS PB12-Ultra/2 Subwoofer - Piano Gloss - 9/10 - *SOLD* to Bluemdpicker

    Until the PB13-Ultra, this was the bar standard in hardcore subwoofers. I'm downsizing but this subwoofer was always WAY too much for my home theater. This is the baddest subwoofer I've heard to date. The piano gloss finish is stunning and it's always been a conversation starter since I bought it.

    I had it signed prior to shipment in 2005 by SVS elite....Erik Kroner(Design Engineer/CS), Ron Stimpson(Co-Owner) and Tom Vodhanel(Co-Owner/Subwoofer Legend).

    *UPDATE* I talked directly with Ron from SVS since I'm going to buy a PC13 Ultra and he still feels this is the best subwoofer they've made. I recently bought the SVS AS-EQ1 per his suggestion and it dramatically changed the performance of this subwoofer BUT I really need some space so I can fit some larger speakers in my HT. I don't want to sell it but in order to change things sometimes you have to sell things. I highly recommend the AS-EQ1, it's awesome.

    The subwoofer was $2400/shipped in 2005.

    Specifications:

    Twin TV-12 "Ultra" woofers SVS's best

    1,000 watt BASH (R) amp with built-in PEQ

    Flush-mount amp configuration

    Computer Assisted Design (CAD) enclosure

    Down-firing configuration
    Distinctive SVS integrated base-plate

    Compliant floor mounts, low center of gravity

    Three 4" high-flow flared porting (in and out)
    Built and tested by SVS in its Ohio factory.
    Extra heavy-duty detachable 8 foot power cord
    Finished in four veneers, gloss or textured black

    Selectable 16Hz, 20Hz or 25Hz extension
    +/- 2 dB 18 Hz-200 Hz anechoic in 20hz mode**

    Size: Approx. 19" wide, 26.5" tall and 28" deep

    Weight: 190 pounds

    Woofer Specifications:

    Cast aluminum frame

    Under-hung motor, voice coil stays in gap during max power

    97oz strontium ferrite magnets

    Vented pole piece

    High tension binding posts

    Rigid Kevlar and aluminum cone
    Inverted dust cap

    Dual progressive Nomex spiders with sewn-in tinsel leads

    Integral rubber mounting gasket

    1" Santoprene surround capable of over 2" peak to peak excursion

    Ultra high capacity 3" aluminum voice coil, with Kapton former

    Copper shorting sleeve eliminates gap induction and reduces flux modulation distortion

    Secrets Review - 2004

    Includes: Original everything and packaging.

      I'm sure it won't come to this, but I'm interested when you are willing to ship this beast across the country.

      I have seen, heard and FELT this thing is person. It pressurizes a room and you feel this thing in your chest. I can echo the statement that this is the baddest sub I have ever seen. It's worth a road trip for anyone interested.

      I have PB12/Plus 2 in a dual configuration. This sub being sold was the big boy to mine so I know it will definitely slam almost any room. Nice sub mark, GL with sale.

      In your post, you didn't indicate where you're located.

      How is this compares to the PB13 Ultra? My friend recently bought the PB13 Ultra for $1600 shipped but haven't heard the PB12.

      Damascus, MD.

      The PB13 hits lower....otherwise its almost identical if not better thru 20hz but that's when the PB13 kicks into overdrive. The PB13 in piano gloss black is $1800/shipped.

      I drove 3 hrs one way and paid $1000 for my Plus/2 over 3 years ago and it's still the best investment I've ever made in my system. And mine's not even piano black.

      If you're within 300-400 miles of this and need a sub...GET IT!!! You WILL NOT be disappointed.

      It's an Ultra/2 not a Plus/2...and it digs deeper and stronger. That's two(2) TV12....check out the links.

      Just wanted to mention it cost me roughly $150 to ship my plus/2 from Milwaukee to Dallas. It has the same size cab as the Ultra but weighs 50 less.

      Mark do you still have the packaging?
