SVS SB12-NSD vs my Sunfire true signature sub?

23177 Views 30 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  CHASLS2
Any SVS SB12- NSD owners in here? Thinking about replacing my Sunfire True Signature sub with the SB12 NSD. Don't know if the upgrade would be worth it or not.

This is for a 14x16 bedroom.

Pretty sure Eugovector got one and did a video review - you can search this forum for it.
Joe, I know he did one on the SVS PB-12NSD though not sure I remember one on the SB?

I don't see much said on the SB12 NSD. I was also thinking about the PB12 NSD as another choice.

According to the SVS website specs are very similar to the PB-12NSD and output is suppose to be just as good. I recently upgraded from a Klipsch RW-12D and there is no comparison. Very tight, clean, and smooth bass. I couldn't be happier.
One more thing is some people said it was made in China?My Svs sub can not find where it made?Do you know about it?

Not really sure to be honest. I don't put much stock into where the product is made anymore. It's very seldom that you will find American made electronics this day in age.
SVS is made and assembled in the USA

I had read that the Sledge Amps were made in Canada and that some of the cabinets were now being outsourced from China. I think that would be a good question for Ed Mullen.
Yes, that would be good to know, I do know that the BASH amps they used before were made in Canada

I sent an email as I'd like to know myself.
The amps are made in Taiwan, and everything else is made in China. All under SVS specs and before sent out (USA sold) inspected and QC measured. This from Ed Mullen.
I went ahead and placed a order for the PB12 NSD. It's already at FEDEX and should have it this Thurs.

I plan to A/B test it with my Sunfire True signature sub. Will let you guys know when i get it.

You're going to love this sub. I've been re-watching my collection of BR movies and it hasn't failed me yet. U-571 had me taking cover during the depth charge scenes!
Guess i will find out Thurs nite.

I look forward to your impressions. Which model Sunfire do you have?

It's called a true signature sub.

I could be wrong, but I believe that's the product line, not the actual model. There are a number of those, in different sizes and capabilities.

Here is a side by side. Just got my PB12 NSD. So far it sounds very good.
