SVS – SB12-NSD Sub for $399
From the manufacturer:
Starting 11/24, until the limited supply runs out, the SVS SB12-NSD, one of the top-selling SVS subwoofers of all time, is available for the subterranean low price of $399, an unbelievable $280 off its original price of $679.
The forceful but articulate SB12-NSD features a high-output 12” driver, an intelligent DSP Sledge Amplifier, and easy integration options for every room and system. Equally adept at conveying the most demanding low frequency effects and details of music, home theater, TV, and gaming, this potent sealed subwoofer is one of the most sought after SVS models, and starting today, it can be yours for a historic low price.
Even the SVS Outlet Store prices don’t go this low, so if you’ve ever thought of going dual, replacing an aging sub, or becoming a first time SVS owner, there’s never been a better time. This is an extremely limited run, so if you want to pay this historic low price, act fast!
