In this review, we will be comparing 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System and KF92, two Powered Subwoofer speakers from SVS and KEF. Being Powered subwoofers, they both have built-in amplifiers so you don't need an external power amp or an integrated amp to power them. Let's have a brief look at the main features of SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System and KEF KF92 first before getting into our more detailed comparison.
The sections below take each area in turn: driver and amplifier, frequency response, physical size and connectivity.
Drivers
The efficiency of a subwoofer is directly proportional to the total radiating are squared hence the woofer quantity and diameter.SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer Systemand KEF KF92 have the same driver set up: Both subwoofers have 2 x 9" drivers.
Frequency Response
3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System has a frequency range of 22-250 Hz whereas KF92 has a frequency range of 11-200 Hz. With a minimum frequency of 11Hz, the KF92 can go significantly deeper on the low side and provide stronger bass compared to the 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System's min frequency of 22Hz.
Below graphs depict how these two speakers compare with the max, min and average values of the Min and Max Frequencies of other speakers in the Subwoofer class in our database.

Physical Specs
The size of a speaker can sometimes be an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System's and KEF KF92's external dimensions. SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System has external dimensions of 635.0 x 305.1 x 94.7mm () whereas KEF KF92 has external dimensions of 353.0 x 331.0 x 362.0mm (13-7/8 x 13 x 14-1/4inch).
SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System is 25.9mm narrower and 267.3mm less deeper than KEF KF92 but it is also 282mm taller.
Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited.
The base surface area of the SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System is approximately 288.9cm2 / 44.8inch2 and base area of the KEF KF92 is approximately 1198.2cm2 / 185.7inch2. The 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System requires 76% less surface area than the KF92 which gives it a small advantage on placement in tight spaces.
