In this review, we will be comparing 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System and KUBE 10b, 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 KUBE 10b 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 System and KEF KUBE 10b have a totally different setup: the SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System features 2 x 9-inch drivers whereas the KUBE 10b features 1 x 10-inch drivers.
Frequency Response
3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System has a frequency range of 22-250 Hz whereas KUBE 10b has a frequency range of 24-140 Hz. With a minimum frequency of 22Hz, the 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System can go slightly deeper then the KUBE 10b's min frequency of 24Hz.
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 KUBE 10b's external dimensions. SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System has external dimensions of 635.0 x 305.1 x 94.7mm () whereas KEF KUBE 10b has external dimensions of 372.0 x 356.0 x 397.0mm (14-5/8 x 14 x 15-5/8inch).
SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System is 50.9mm narrower and 302.3mm less deeper than KEF KUBE 10b but it is also 263mm taller.
Size, drawn to scale
Both speakers and both views share one scale, so everything here is directly comparable. Hover a box for its dimensions.
One scale for both, standing on the same surface and pushed back to the same wall, so the deeper one visibly sticks out further.
KEF KUBE 10b needs about 389% more floor or shelf area. KEF KUBE 10b is 302mm deeper, so it stands that much further out from the wall. SVS 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System is 263mm 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 KUBE 10b is approximately 1413.3cm2 / 219.1inch2. The 3000 In wall Dual Subwoofer System requires 80% less surface area than the KUBE 10b which gives it a small advantage on placement in tight spaces.
