Meet ForceField 30
The GoldenEar ForceField 30 is a compact, high-performance powered subwoofer engineered to deliver
deep, controlled bass for music and home theater. A front-firing 8" long-throw woofer couples with a
9" × 11" down-firing quadratic planar passive radiator to extend low-frequency output while maintaining precision.
Its 1000-watt digital amplifier (500W RMS) with onboard DSP keeps distortion low and dynamics effortless.

FAQ — ForceField 30
Where should I place the subwoofer?
Start near a front wall, slightly off a corner. Move in small increments to balance depth and articulation; avoid blocking the down-firing radiator.
Should I use LFE or line-level inputs?
Home theaters typically use the AVR’s LFE output. For stereo systems without bass management, use line-level with the sub’s crossover engaged.
What crossover setting works best?
Begin around 80 Hz for bookshelf speakers, 60–70 Hz for larger towers. Fine-tune by ear or with measurement.
Do two subs help?
Yes. Dual subs can improve seat-to-seat consistency and reduce room modes for smoother bass.
