Official SVS Owners/Support Thread. - Page 102

Hi arango1,

You just want to make sure the "LFE ATT" setting is "0" (no attenuation). If this is set to "OFF", LFE is disabled. And that's no fun.

Jack,
Thanks I got it set at 0. I also realized that I was playing the Pioneer in Pure Direct mode which cancelled out all of the tweaking I made in the MCACC! I can't believe all the movies I've watched already on Pure Direct rather than Direct!!!

Thanks Again.

At one time, Pioneer offered both an LFE channel attenuation control and also an LFE channel disable control. I don't consider either feature very useful, but the latter is just inexplicable.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure they recently got religion, as I can't find either control on the newest Elite AVRs I've set-up.

Thanks Ed!

Hey guys,

So I'm going to order a pb13, i have an Onkyo805 receiver. What cable to I need? My looking at the back of the SVS, it doesnt' seem like it uses the same cable my old JBL 12inch sub uses. Any help would be appreciated.

Any subwoofer cable will work with the "Subwoofer Output" RCA cable hookup to any of the SVS subs...
Should look just like this...

i already have that cable, great! Only thing is, when i look at this picture of the back of a PB13, it doesn't seem like at has that input jack:

Look at the top left of the amp. You plug it into either top Left or Right Low Level Input (very top)

I feel silly now. Thanks..lol

No problem . There are just so many different options on the Ultra 13 amp that it's hard to sort out what's what! And trust me...I've been far sillier than you when it comes to this stuff

well, finally read through all 102 pages of this thread. here is my first post and proud owner of pb12/plus 2.

My PB10-NSD just came in today. This thing is a beast. I'm pairing it with B&W 600 series speakers. I haven't had a chance to really stress it yet, but I can tell right off the bat that it will blow away the little B&W 608.

Welcome to AVS.... I have 2 of those things...

I need more though...

Hey Warpdrv I have two of those things too with the 12.3 driver update! In a room that is 14X17X8. Needless to say I'm all set in that area! I remember you being one of the people talking about the laid back mids on the MTS line. Looks like SVS was listening to you and others out there. I for one plan on swapping my crossovers when the offer goes live!

I'm going to be selling 3 SVS 12.1 Plus drivers. What do you guys think they are worth? I swapped them out for the 12.3 drivers, sold one of my 12.1s to a friend and have 3 more that I want to move. Your thoughts?

I want one of these things bad as they match my Infinity IL50's with the brushed silver drivers, but they don't have them for sale at the Canadian site. They have them listed, and lot's of salivating pictures, but they are evidently discontinued/0 in stock. I don't even see them listed on the U.S site.

They have the PB12-NSD/2 at a very, very nice clearance price(almost half the plus price) on the U.S. site but don't list it on the Canadian site.

Very frustrating. I would like either model and I'm guessing I'm out of luck.

if it's available in the US, Mason of sonic boom audio might be able to get it for you.

he's a good guy btw. he let me demo my first SVS'es in 2006 and was very willing to help me get my hands on some Ultras.

Well then, I'll have to give him a call and see If my luck can change.

Thanks for the tip!

Unless Sonic has one in the back room, I think your out of luck. There is a possibility one may come back and be put into B stock. As to the bright aluminum drivers (12.2) on the +/2, those haven't been available for about 2.5 years. The 12.3 driver was black anodize. If left in the factory orientation, you can't see the drivers anyway.

Time to start looking on Audiogon.

Is Audiogon used audio equipment? If so, thanks for the tip but I don't touch used stuff.

Man, what is the point of having dozens of pictures and descriptions of product that hasn't existed in years on your site? Seems all those floor firing subs aren't available anymore then, so why tease me.

Just picked up a sweet deal on a 20-39+, $300+. My question is how do i know which driver it has, it has a sticker on bottom the reads 2-11-05, would this have the 12.1 or 12.2 driver? The driver is dark colored almost black, i have another 2039+ and its driver color is silver which is this (it is also ~3 years old). I want to upgrade the the silver to the 12.3 and maybe the other.

I don't know about the 12.1 driver, but the 12.3 driver is black. This sub may have already been upgraded.

12.1 is dark, 12.2 is silver

Were they still producing the 12.1 in 2005? If so, then the 12.2 was only used for a little over 1 year as the 12.3 came out in March/April 2006.

The 12.2 has a silver cone and was shipping with all Plus products o/a June 2003. The 12.3 has a black cone and was shipping o/a April 2006.

If it's an '05 vintage and has a black cone, it could be an upgrade to a 12.3 woofer, or it could be a non-SVS woofer. Hard to tell until it's actually removed and inspected.

Would the woofer have the SVS logo printed on it?

Mine have no SVS markings at all. Look at the surround and gasket. They should be one piece. It should be rubber and not foam. Anything else will require you to pull the driver.

Hey guys,
My PB Ultra 13 arrived today. No way I could take that thing out of the box, so I had to cut the box up. I know I'll be screwed if I need to return it, oh well. Calculated risk I guess. I put this beast in teh corner at first, then between my left front tower and my TV. Reason is, my room is not perfectly square, and 6ft in front of the left front corner, the room angles in a bit. My previous sub wasn't in teh corner either and I felt it sounded better. I have yet to calibrate this thing via the EQ, although I did calibrate the decibals via an SPL meter. First impressions are fantastic. Funny thing though, I had to up the level to the sub on my Onkyo substantially. Then again, i have the gain at half way.

As a test subject, I used Cloverfield. The seen where the main character is on the roof adn the first major BOOM occurs made my glassware in the floor above shake. I also want to point out that the Piano black finish is georgous. It matches my Aperion Audio 6T 6Cc and 532LRs perfectly. Eventually I'll order the Avia cd to tune this thing a little better, but for not this will do. I also want to point out I prefer the single plug (15Hz) mode.

Nice what are the speakers?

Looks like Aperions:
