This was a 2011 model. I think it was one of the first PB12-Plus sporting the Sledge amp (don't quote me on that though). As you might noticed in the pics, the sub was the one with side panels - rosenut finish and black finish on top/bottom. That sub is no longer available at the SVS site.

Gotcha. So, at the end it is pretty similar compared with the one that I had (with the exception of the amp, of course).

If you finally pull the trigger on this sub, post some pics. BTW is this sub sporting the metallic grill or is the cloth grill (both perhaps)?

And as I'm thinking about it, paying nearly $4k on subs, I'm not sure if I can legitimize that purchase. (BUT maybe I can....)

Thanks for your thoughts (and making the decision harder). LOL! Just kidding. Seriously, I really appreciate your feedback.

A PC13 Ultra is a bit cheaper and 1 from the outlet is even cheaper. Never say never.

Hi guys, I need help with my SVSound subwoofer. The actual speaker's rubber material has turned white-ish. Has anyone else encountered this problem with their subs woofer? Does anyone know what should be applied to get it back to black/appealing look?
Thanks in advance.

ArmorAll? Spray it on a cloth first though. Sh*t flys everywhere.

Just checked...mine's doing the same. Strange..

I can't see mine.....I guess this is when having a cylinder sub with the driver underneath is a good thing.

But John ever wonder what you'd see if you looked down there?

My Ultra is the same way. Some of it is dust but I am going to try using some interior wipes on it and see how it looks.

I was told by SVS that the best way to clean the driver is with a microfiber cloth with a little amount of water.

Getting my svs delivered today, can't wait. Will upload some photos. I will also need some help in setting up the sub as I don't have a clue about technical side, I like everything just to plug and play but I know this sub will need some special tweaks so help I will defintly need. My surround 4 speakers are q acoustics 2010s and centre speaker q acoustics 2010s. I will be using my onkyo tr609 amp.

Thanks

Once again..........congrats!

It is not a straight plug and play, but it is really close to that. First of course, you will need a RCA Cable to hook your new "toy" to your Onkyo TR609 **make sure both the receiver and the sub are turned "off"**.

You will see in the back of the Onkyo that you have two Sub-woofer outputs (purple color) right below the Universal Port. I would recommend to hook your sub at the first one (top one).

Now, you will need to set somethings in the sub itself and others in you receiver; for that let me refer you directly to the source - SVS Manual for your PB12-Plus:

It is a really nice material and it will help you to set things correctly in your PB12-Plus and Onkyo.

Looking forward to see your pics and read on your first impressions.

Any power cable should work. Pull one off of something else or go to an electronic store and buy one.

Well I'm in uk so the power cable is a us one, I don't know where or which kindle cable I would be looking for. I've recieved the step down transformer, just the power cord missing.. I wonder if I could get one from somewhere

Take the transformer to one electronics store (kind of RadioShack here in the US) and ask for the cable that is missing. It should be really cheap.

If that is too much trouble, then "we" will have to wait until the missing cable arrives to your home.

So, what do you think of this bad boy now that you have it at home and that "belongs" to you?

Hi
It's absolutely stubning, my friend has only had it for 2 years And its like brand new, the plasitc sticker still hasn't been peeled off the svs sign on the grill, it looks great in black gloss, I'm going to check to c if I can get hold of a cable, I've heard it's same as a kettle cable or pc cable.
