This sub pulls a lot of power. I would suggest putting it on its own circute. It dims the lights that are on the same circute as the outlet it's plugged into.
Update, Still 5 star review !!!
I originally reviewed this sub on Amazon were I bought it but, recently had a driver fail and wanted to give a review on SVS platform. The service was great I was 4 months out of warranty and they were gracious enough to warranty the sub anyway. 5 years and still the best sub!!!

Unboxing the SVS PB16 ULTRA this Subwoofer is a work of art. Piano Black so spectacular! It's like a High End Piece of furniture. I am coming from Dual SVS PB2000's. It was placed in one of the PB2000 location as I will be going to duals when the money is saved up.
Integration of the Subwoofer was quite painless since I already had Subwoofer location dialed in and I also used REW software to set volume and to adjust the DSP with the SVS APP.
The sound from Dual PB2000 vs PB16 is so INCREDIBLY POWERFUL AND SMOOTH!! There is absences of any muddy bass. It not like the PB2000's had this. But compared to PB16 it sounds that way. This PB16 is being used with a Definitive Technology 8060's towers, center, and Pro Monitor 1000's for surrounds in a 7.1 surround format.
The overall sound is cleaner and detailed in the mid bass. The system cross over is at 60hz by SVS recommendations.
For music the bass is Clean and punchy! And with the app you can adjust the bass to your needs! Way Cool. For movies listening to them at 10-15db below Reference Level is So INCREDIBLE!!!! When the LFE kicks in on a movie the FURNITURE AND YOU RUMBLE.
But as cool as it is for music and movies it a GENTLE GIANT when watching TV. It is not overbearing with bass or keeping the house up at night. Once integrated into the system and calibrated it is Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
