SVS's 2000 series subwoofers incorporate proprietary 12" drives and 500W (1100W peak) DSP controlled amplifiers in both sealed and ported cabinets.
There are two ported versions, the PB-2000 and the PC-2000:
We're big fans of the PC-2000, because it packs a high output ported subwoofer into a small footprint (16.6" diameter). The PB subwoofers can be challenging to integrate into a dedicated home theater, due to their size.
The 2000 series offers great sound quality. Not reference class, but sufficiently good that we deem them a solid "go-to" for high performance home theaters. SVS have done an exceptional job with driver limiting DSP, so they are virtually indestructible, and behave well when being pushed to their limit.
