Subwoofers — GoldenEar ForceField 3

The ForceField 3 is a powered subwoofer from GoldenEar, an American manufacturer known for delivering accomplished performance at accessible prices. The ForceField 3 brings GoldenEar's value-focused engineering to a compact dedicated bass-reinforcement format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans 27Hz to 150Hz. Internal amplification delivers a substantial 1,000W - a formidable figure for this compact subwoofer category. At 28.9 x 40 x 29.2cm and 11.8kg, the ForceField 3 maintains a manageable footprint for its considerable amplification capability.

Sound and use context

Expect authoritative bass reinforcement reflecting the substantial 1,000W amplification packed into a comparatively compact cabinet, consistent with GoldenEar's broader reputation for delivering considerable performance at accessible pricing.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the ForceField 3 connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, working alongside a broader main-speaker system.

Alternatives

GoldenEar's own ForceField 30 sits above this model with somewhat greater scale and bass extension, worth the further investment for buyers wanting additional low-frequency authority.
