SVS has done it again with this beast of a subwoofer. The biggest and baddest subwoofers are in town, best for parties and events requiring you to strap your seatbelts in for the sound it will make.

The app is an amazing add-on that offers you limitless options to adjust the settings to how you wish, without having to leave your seat.

Easy to connect with different speakers and plug-and-play design

The massive 16” Ultra driver gives a great range of sound and frequency possible through the 8” edge wound coils, which are rarely seen in consumer speakers and subwoofers

Sonic muscles of STA-1500D amplify the sound to the clouds with their 1,500 watts of continuous power, keeping the levels high for as long as you require. Whether it’s a 3-hour movie or an all-night party, you’ll not need to worry about running out of power.

The design of the PB16-Ultra Pro is gorgeous and will leave your guests in awe of its quality. A piano gloss black is a stunning option that adds that stylish bit of shine.
