OWNER’S MANUAL
PB-2000 Sound Path Subwoofer Isolation System
Thank you, and congratulations on purchasing your new SVS Sound Path Subwoofer
Isolation System!
The SVS Sound Path Subwoofer Isolation System decouples and isolates the
subwoofer from the flooring, resulting in tighter and cleaner sounding bass,
less buzz/rattle in the room, and fewer complaints from adjacent neighbors in
apartments and townhouses. It’s the next best thing to sound-proofing!
The Sound Path Subwoofer Isolation System works with any brand of subwoofer
which accepts screw-in feet. Developed with extensive accelerometer and
acoustic measurements, this system features optimized durometer elastomer
feet which significantly reduce floor vibration.
Our Sound Experts in Customer Service can assist you with installing the Sound
Path Subwoofer Isolation System, so please don’t hesitate to contact Customer
Service if you need guidance.
If you have any questions about your SVS product, please contact us directly.

INSTALLATION
CABINET / BOX STYLE SUBWOOFERS
Cabinet / Box Style Subwoofers:
- Place padding such as a soft blanket on the flooring to protect the finish of the subwoofer.
- Using a helper (if needed), carefully place the subwoofer cabinet on its side or top, resting on the blanket. Take care to avoid damaging the amplifier. Important Notice: When moving the subwoofer, do not allow the weight of the cabinet to place an excessive lateral (sideways) load on the feet. This may damage the feet, the threaded insert or the cabinet.
- Unthread and remove the subwoofer’s original equipment (OE) feet.
- Gather all of the 20 mm long machine screws from the Isolation System kit.
- Compare the OE feet machine screws to the 20 mm long Isolation System machine screws. Select the matching/correct thread size (SVS cabinet subwoofers utilize the ¼-20 thread size).
- Once you have selected the correct thread size, install the Isolation feet by inserting the 20 mm long machine screw through the bottom opening of the rubber foot, through the opening in the steel outer shell, and into the threaded insert of the subwoofer cabinet.
- Make sure the machine screw is correctly aligned and does not cross-thread.
- Hand-tighten snugly. Avoid over-tightening, which might damage the threaded insert or the cabinet.
- Using a helper (if needed) carefully lift the subwoofer cabinet and place it directly down onto the installed Isolation feet. Take care to avoid damaging the amplifier.
Important Notice : When placing the subwoofer back into position, do not
allow the weight of the cabinet to place an excessive lateral (sideways) load
on the Isolation feet. This may damage the Isolation feet, the threaded insert
or the cabinet.
Important Notice: – Do not drag the subwoofer cabinet across the flooring
with the Isolation feet installed. This may damage the Isolation feet, the
threaded insert or the cabinet. If you need to move the subwoofer, always lift
(use a helper if needed) the subwoofer and then place it into the new
location.
SVS CYLINDER SUBWOOFERS
SVS Cylinder Subwoofers:
-
Using a helper as needed, lay the cylinder subwoofer sideways on a stable surface. Take care to avoid damaging the amplifier.
-
Peel off the original equipment (OE) rubber disc feet.
-
Only remove one (1) OE machine screw at a time.
This will prevent the base plate from dislodging.
Important Notice: – If you are using a powered bit driver to remove and/or install the machine screws, avoid excessive downward pressure on the screw, as that may dislodge the t-nut mounted to the backside of the woofer end-cap.
-
Install the Isolation foot by inserting the OE machine screw through the bottom opening of the rubber foot, through the opening in the steel outer shell, through the base plate, through the dowel (re-aligning the dowel as necessary) and into the t-nut on the backside of the woofer end-cap.
-
Make sure the machine screw is correctly aligned and does not cross-thread.
-
Tighten the OE machine screw avoiding excessive downward pressure. Once the screw fully tightens and starts to pull against the end-cap t-nut, tighten securely using hand-pressure.
-
Using a helper (if needed), carefully stand the cylinder subwoofer back onto the installed Isolation feet. Take care to avoid damaging the amplifier.
Important Notice: – Do not drag the subwoofer base plate across the flooring with the Isolation feet installed. This may damage the Isolation feet or the base plate. If you need to move the subwoofer, always lift (use a helper if needed) the subwoofer and then place it into the new location.
