Subwoofers — GoldenEar ForceField 30

The ForceField 30 is a powered subwoofer from GoldenEar, sitting above the ForceField 3 with somewhat greater scale and bass extension while sharing the same 1,000W internal amplification. The ForceField 30 brings GoldenEar's engineering to a more capable dedicated bass-reinforcement tier.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans 26Hz to 170Hz - marginally deeper and wider than the ForceField 3. Internal amplification delivers 1,000W, matching the smaller model. At 28.9 x 40.6 x 32.2cm and 14.3kg, the ForceField 30 represents a meaningful step up in scale from the ForceField 3.

Sound and use context

Expect controlled, authoritative bass reinforcement matching the ForceField 3's substantial 1,000W amplification, delivered from a somewhat larger cabinet providing marginally deeper and wider bass extension.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the ForceField 30 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 3 sits below this model as a more compact alternative sharing identical amplification power, while the SuperSub XXL sits considerably above with even greater ambition.
