Hi and welcome! Please be more specific. Are you wanting a used SVS or want a comparison? Also how big is the room you are putting it in.

I am wanting a used svs. My room is about 16x16x14 ft tall. It's also open to the dinning room. My pb1000 isn't doing it.

Did you do the mic on your Onkyo for the PB1000? If yes what are your settings on the SVS and Onkyo? Picture of your setup would be nice.

You can always turn it up, audyssey is not king of your setting. Get a good bass CD and set it up to your liking before you go and buy another sub. I have the PB1000 and it's more than enough.

The sub is at its limit when I turn it up. How big is your room?

Small/Medium, but I've read it can do well in a large room. What DB did the receiver set the sub to? Speakers set to small right? Try 9- or 8- on the receiver and 2 o'clock position on the sub volume.

It's got the sub set to -2db. I have my towers set to small, but it has them crossed at 40hz. My center at 60hz.

change those 40hz to 80hz.

why do you say the sub is at its limit?
you could change that -2 to say 0db or +1db if there's no driver distress in loud scenes.

Like Mike C said change it to 80 front and center. 60 for surround speakers and 120 for the sub.

Is the SVS PB2-Plus a good sub? I found one on Craigslist for $699. Is that way to much for that sub?
