Like its big brother, the ForceField 3 produces a surprising amount of low-end output for its size, letting you enjoy accurate, hard-hitting bass even if you have limited room. Its long-throw 8" woofer is driven by the heavyweight power of a 1,000-watt RMS amplifier. And a down-firing 9" x 11" passive radiator further extends the sub's low frequencies to infrasonic levels, helping you feel the high-impact rumble of your favorite movies and video games. Smooth and responsive The ForceField 3 doesn't just hit hard — it also hits with precision. All the little details of the sub's construction add up. The driver's large motor and magnet assembly help it handle a ton of power for wide excursion with very low distortion. And the cabinet's non-parallel walls minimize internal reflections and add rigidity for more accurate bass and a unique look. Soft, vibration-absorbing feet do more than keep the sub in place and provide noise isolation. They also maintain just the right distance between the floor and the passive radiator to maximize low frequency output. A Crutchfield expert gets hands-on with the GoldenEar ForceField 3 "We like to set up sound system demonstrations here at Crutchfield, so we can really get a sense of how different components perform under real-world conditions. Sometimes we assemble a system that's all made by the same manufacturer. Other times we mix and match, like we did when I auditioned this sub in our training room at Crutchfield HQ." The system "I had some very nice bookshelf speakers that could use a little help to round out the low end — a pair of gorgeous Wharfedale EVO4.1s. I wanted to give the speakers plenty of power, so I hooked them up to the rugged Parasound Halo HINT 6 integrated amplifier, which delivers 160 watts per channel. And then I did both of the other components — and my ears — a massive favor by adding this sub." Setup flexibility "The cool thing about hooking the ForceField 3 up to the Parasound amp was the flexibility of the connection. The subwoofer output on the amp has a built-in low-pass filter, but I chose not to use it because the subwoofer has its own precise high- and low-pass filters built in, as well as digital signal processing to ensure extreme accuracy." Delivering the goods "And that accuracy is very important to me. I like having a powerful sub like this one when I'm watching movies, but I spend far more time listening to my diverse collection of albums, CDs, and digital files. So I'm looking for musical low-end that can keep up with a virtuoso bassist like Meshell Ndegocello or Jaco Pastorius. This sub definitely has the goods on that score — it's very agile and responsive." "But don't get me wrong, it can absolutely bring the hammer, too. With 1,000 watts of power, an 8" front-facing woofer, and a large passive radiator on the bottom, this relatively compact sub can really fill a room. You can read about the philosophy behind its unusual shape above — I'm just here to tell you that the clever engineering really works. You just have to remember that GoldenEar does not recommend that you corner-load this sub — make your placement decisions accordingly, and you're in for a real treat." — Eric A., Crutchfield Senior Copywriter Simple setup and control Adding the ForceField 3 to your system is easy with a dedicated LFE input plus speaker-level inputs and outputs. A continuously variable low-pass crossover gives you control over what frequencies the sub is responsible for when using the speaker-level inputs. If you're hooking up your main speakers through the speaker-level outputs, the fixed 150Hz high-pass crossover prevents you from damaging them with low frequencies. A volume dial makes adjustments quick and easy, letting you gently blend the sub into the rest of your system. Who is GoldenEar?
