Is It Easy To Return An Item?
Yes, simply give us a call at 888.899.8776 or you can email our support team at support@audioadvice.com. Many times our team of experts can help figure out why the product might not be working like you expected and get things fixed over the phone, so don’t be surprised if we ask a few questions, we love troubleshooting!
If our tech help can not make you happy, we will email over a return shipping label with a Return Number.
Hopefully, you saved all of the original item’s box and packaging inserts. You will want to pack back up your return or exchange in the same way it came out of the original box. Once you have everything packaged correctly, tape the box on the top and bottom to assure it stays together. If Audio Advice shipped the item to you inside a second box, it's a good idea to use that same extra box to help prevent damage on its way back to us. To avoid it accidentally coming back to you, use a magic marker to cross out the old shipping label or just tear it off.
The return shipping label we send you will have our address on it, just make sure you take the box to the right shipper (UPS, FEDEX, or USPS) as per the label.
If you are close to one of our stores, please let us know if it is more convenient for you to return it to us directly. You will still need to get a return number by contacting us and shipping and/or restocking charges may apply.
When Will I See My Refund?
It usually takes around 7-14 days for the refund to show up on the payment method you used. We do inspect all returns for damage and accuracy of the item inside the box before issuing a refund. Some items may be subject to shipping and restocking fees.
Can I Exchange My Purchase For Something Different?
Sometimes those big speakers just don’t fit in the room or you might have bought a small subwoofer and later found out you’d love a bigger one. If you would like to make an exchange within 30 days of receiving your item, just give us a call at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com and we will help work out the details. Additional shipping charges and return costs may apply.
How Do I Cancel An Order?
If the item has already shipped out or is a special order item, it is not possible to cancel the order. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com to start the return process.
What If I Find Shipping Damage?
We need to know right away about any shipping damage. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com within 48 hours of your delivery so we can get the ball rolling on making things right. It’s very helpful to take some pictures and email them to us if possible.
Can I Refuse A Shipment?
You can, but unless the item is damaged, shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrives damaged and you are lucky enough to be there, snap some quick pics and refuse the order. Then contact us so we can get a replacement on the way.
What Happens If My Order Is Defective?
This is actually pretty rare, most consumer electronics work fine out of the box 99.9% of the time. We’d like for you to contact us first by calling 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com so we can help get to the bottom of things. If your item is indeed defective during the first 30 days, we can usually exchange it for a new, replacement unit.
What About Service After 30 Days?
Audio Advice has a great relationship with all of our brands and can help you with warranty service by the brand after our 30-day guarantee period. Even after the warranty expires, we can arrange for service by the brand on products purchased from Audio Advice. Just call 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
How Do You Determine A Restocking Fee?
You may not believe it, but sometimes we receive items back that were put in the box with zero packaging and are completely destroyed or are missing many of the pieces that came with the item. We also track serial numbers and will get back different serial numbers. We’ve even seen different items than what we shipped out be returned. However, it’s very important to package your return properly so that nothing goes missing or gets damaged in shipping, which will result in a restocking fee or even no refund at all. If a product is opened and the market value of the product is reduced, then a restocking fee may be applied to the cost of restocking and the reduced market value of the product. The bottom line is if you treat us fairly, we will do the same.
Audio Advice strives to provide industry-leading support and service while also maintaining the lowest prices available on products for our customers. We work hard with our vendors to bring our customers the best products at each price point. As a part of that process, we work with our vendors to provide the lowest pricing in our stores and on our website.
Our prices should always be the same as any other authorized dealer, including big-box retailers and major online retailers.
If you believe that you have found a lower advertised price from a legitimate authorized seller, call us and let us know so we can make sure we can correct any inadvertent error on our side. As a matter of policy, we update our prices automatically if a vendor changes its authorized pricing policies, so we generally have the best prices all the time. Increasingly, there are knock-off copies of products online, usually sold by non-authorized dealers.
Please be sure that the item meets the following conditions:
- The item is brand new, in stock, and available for purchase
- The item has the identical model number, color, etc as the item on our site.
- The seller is an authorized dealer
As always, our goal is to provide a terrific customer experience, including industry low prices. We appreciate your support.
Overview
Massive Cinematic Bass, No Floorspace Required
Engineering in-wall subwoofer capable of deep, chest-pounding output, while maintaining effective thermal and energy management that’s also easy to install, has always been a noble pursuit for subwoofer brands. Many have tried, all have failed. Until now.
Shallow and narrow enough to fit between standard wall studs with options for existing rooms or new construction, SVS 3000 In-Wall Subwoofer thrills music and home theater fans with breathtaking bass from an enclosure that remains virtually invisible in a room and requires no floorspace.
SVS engineers bent the laws of physics designing a subwoofer ecosystem capable of producing massive, effortless response with pinpoint control and accuracy. Solid aluminum front and rear baffles with reinforced internal bracing ensure the sealed cabinet remains acoustically inert, even as the dual active 9-in high-excursion drivers are being driven to extreme levels.
Reference amplifier technology from the flagship SVS 16-Ultra subwoofers was applied in the Sledge STA-800D2C amplifier. Rated conservatively at 800 watts RMS, 2,500+ watts Peak Power with discrete MOSFET output, the 3000 In-Wall amplifier unleashes ample on-demand current with unerring control to maximize the dual 9-in driver’s potential. All available in an easy to install 2U rack-mount amplifier.
As with all SVS models, the 3000 In-Wall Subwoofer features the groundbreaking SVS Subwoofer Control Smartphone App. It offers the most convenient way ever to control volume, access multiple DSP functions, and program custom preset tuning profiles optimized for music, movies, gaming, and more. All accessible with a single touch from your favorite seat.
Inspired Engineering for Breathtaking Performance
Dual Active 9-In Drivers Deliver Extreme Output with Control and Accuracy
All new oversized motor design, custom-tooled basket, and rigid yet lightweight aluminum cones on the pair of active 9-in drivers are optimized for maximum acoustic output and thermal efficiency from a compact enclosure. Over-engineered to deliver chest-pounding low frequencies without distortion, 3000 In-Wall drivers are a true feat of engineering.
Optimized Motor Assembly for Dual Active Drivers
An oversized, vented motor structure is optimized for efficient thermal and mechanical-energy management in a confined space. Massive electromagnetic force produced by the motor, in symphony with the high current driving power of the Sledge amplifier, allows the 3000 In-Wall to maximize on the output potential of the dual 9-in active drivers.
Potent and Groundbreaking Sledge STA-800D2C Amplifier
Conservatively rated at 800 watts RMS, 2,500 watts Peak Power, the 3000 In-Wall amplifier platform adapts flagship SVS technology for the challenges of in-wall design. Combining the high-current output of discrete MOSFETs with Class D efficiency and the processing power of an Analog Devices 50MHz DSP, the 2U rackmount amplifier effortlessly produces sustained high-current output for extreme SPLs at the deepest frequencies without a trace of distortion.
Sophisticated 50 MHz DSP Engine – Unrivaled Processing Power from a Home Audio Subwoofer
A 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP, normally reserved for high-end separate audio components, delivers sophisticated control and custom response curves optimized for real-world output and acoustically tuned room gain.
DSP plays a major role in making the 3000 In-Wall subwoofer sound far bigger than its enclosure. SVS engineers painstakingly crafted an in-room frequency response curve that fully maximizes the potential of a room’s boundaries to produce greater output and deeper bass extension without bloat or boominess. The result, a subwoofer that far exceeds expectations given its low profile.
3000 In-Wall Smartphone App – Easiest Way Ever to Manage Subwoofer DSP and Control
The most convenient way ever to control volume, access multiple DSP functions, and program custom presets for one-touch tuning optimized for music, movies, gaming, and more. Adjust crossover frequencies, dial-in the three-band parametric EQ, polarity, room gain and more, all from your favorite seat.
- Connects via Bluetooth for convenient control even when subwoofer is out of sight.
- Saved custom presets for one-touch tuning with optimized settings based on listening preferences for movies, music, and more. All accessible from a single touch.
- 3-band parametric EQ controller allows precise adjustments for boost or cut, Q-factor, and frequency down to the single Hz level with so users can customize performance by eliminating peaks, nulls and other room issues.
Sledge Amplifier Inputs and DSP Controls
External amplifier unit features inputs for connecting single or dual subwoofers and convenient tuning controls.
- Level Control to fine tune the overall output level that best matches the system and room
- Low pass filter control to ensure smooth sonic transitions and seamless blending with the main speakers
- Phase control to align the subwoofer’s output timing with the main speakers or additional subwoofers
- RCA Audio Interconnect Input for use with most AV receivers and preamplifiers
- Single or Dual Subwoofer Outputs to drive 800 watts to a single subwoofer, or 400 watts to dual subwoofers
- 3.5mm Trigger input for each system connection and control
- USB port provides power for the SVS SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter (sold separately) which eliminates the need for a cable run to the subwoofer from the source component
Acoustically Inert and Rigidly Braced Sealed Cabinet
Aircraft grade aluminum panels were custom formed into rigid 2.5mm thick front and rear baffles around an MDF frame to create an unyielding, sonically inert enclosure for the drivers. Extensive front to back bracing eliminates any potential cabinet resonances even at extreme playback levels.
Detachable magnetic grille is acoustically transparent and paintable for seamless blending into any home environment.
Easy to Install in Existing Rooms and New Construction
3000 In-Wall Subwoofer installation is by way of dog-leg mounting, or direct-to-stud screw down points within standard 16-in stud spacing. Connection options are available for single LFE channel or stereo left/right with dedicated speaker cable banana terminals for easy connections between the source, amplifier, and subwoofer. Pre-construction kit, mounting templates and set up guide are also available.
Dual Subwoofer Option
Every Sledge STA-800D2C amplifier is equipped with a second set of binding posts for dual subwoofer configurations. This option exists for users with extremely large listening areas who want a truly over-the-top experience with more even bass response output the room.
In this case, a single 2U amplifier would change impedance and split the 800 watts RMS (400 watts x 2) evenly between the two drive units. No second amplifier needed.
