More size perspectiveOk, it’s been a while since I took these pics, but that doesn’t mean Elemental Design’s new A3-300 isn’t noteworthy.  Just means I am a slacker, while the A3-300 is not.  I had the opportunity to play with this sub before it went to a friends home and it’s a solid piece of home theater hardware.  Let me tell you what the beast is all about.

The box itself is very substantial and weighs in at 86lbs.  It is made from eD’s new EFS material and will kill small children if dropped on them from short heights.  Probably not a good use for the sub, but you have been warned.  I have added the Lego Batman box and XBox 360 controller to some of my shots so you can get the feel of just how big the 18″x20.5″x21″ box really is.  Included is a 12″ custom designed cone with a 2″ peak to peak excursion.  It’s powered by a 300 watt amp also custom designed by eD.  There are multiple hook up options so no matter how your theater or two channel setup is wired, you are covered.

I had this baby setup in my theater for several nights before being moved to it’s new home, and it does it’s job nicely.  Usually in the corner of my room is a dual 12″ unit from SVSound, but I was really surprised at the output of the A3-300 considering it was less than half the price and only one 12″ cone vs. two.  I couldn’t let well enough rest and just enjoy it, so I beat down my neighbor’s door and borrowed his calibrated mic, laptop, and and ran a room analysis.  Looks like the response in my room was very good down to 20hz as you can see in my pic below.  It would have been nice to have just a little bit more below 20hz, but for the $650 price tag you would be hard pressed to find anything that does what this thing will.  Also, the appearance is simple and has a very nice and even texture;  the grill is simple as well.  I liked the looks of the sub a lot and I think my pictures have captured what it may look like in a home setting.

The new home for this sub has a room half the size of mine, and I have heard nothing but good things from the final owner.  I think I’d go for two in my 600ish Sq.Ft. room, but perhaps I am spoiled.  Ok, yeah, I am.  But that’s why eD makes things like the dual 15″ A7-700.  Well, all in all, the A3-300 is certainly a good product for the price.  No one would be unhappy with it other than a wife or girlfriend who thinks subs are little 10″x10″x10″ cubes your cat can pee on.  Anyway, eD often has sales and discounts on multiple subs, and this is a killer product at full price.  If this is in your target budget, then the A3-300 should be at the top of your list!  Later all!
