Compact Sub... Minivee 8 vs SB-1000 vs ?

The 1000 is a much better sub. So if your only interest is best sound, it's a no brainer to pick the 1000.

Having said that, the mini subs sound surprisingly good for their size, so if you choose the smaller sub, you won't be terribly disappointed.

I would wager that most people never hear both subs in an "is A better than B" thread. But, for what little it's worth, here's what I think: The SB-1000 digs deeper, and it likely plays flatter overall, which means that while it may not be as "punchy" as the Minivee 8, it should be more "accurate".

So, unless you i) need a very small sub, ii) are willing to give up some extension and/or iii) are specifically looking for "punchiness" (which the Minivee 8 may or may not provide), the SB-1000 is the better sub to buy.

IMveryHO (obviously), and YMMV.

Short answer: I don't know.

Longer answer: The SB-1000 extends to 24Hz @ -3dB vs. the Minivee 8's 28Hz @ -3dB, so it's possible (likely?) that the SB will benefit more from room gain to dig even deeper than the 8. But I can't say whether it will do so with enough authority vs. the Minivee.

I'm not really sure how that lack of definitive information helped...but I'm glad it did.

Dont forget the SVS bill of rights.

I bet the Mini V doesn't even come close in that regard.

I own both Velo subs and SVS subs and I like both brands a lot so I have no owner's bias.

SVS subs are always excellent, so I would choose that based on bang for buck and their warranty/customer service. You just can't go wrong with them.

The SB1000 should outperform the MV8 by a considerable margin in terms of output capability (the Minivee is rated for -3dB @28Hz, but I believe Velo states their responses as a real world figure, rather than SVS would states their response as a "anechoic" response)

Great, Please give a revue in the PB1000...Sb1000 thread.

Now it has to work in for about 12 hours so give some time.
