While they are not cropped, and still need some others taken. Here are a couple teasers for size comparison.













They look really good painted with the edges all rounded over.

On a side note, we got to watch Death Race at Ben's house with the A3-300. I was BLOWN away with the sheer output and extension of this thing. Overall I was very very surprised at what this thing does in a room.

Ughhh.... I probably shoulda bought an A3-300 instead of getting the replacement amp for mt A3-200. >.<

That thing looks beastly.

Officially pulled the trigger on the A5-350! After seeing that beast I was a little worried about size, but if I went with the A3-300 I would have always kicked myself for not getting the bigger one

[mpdhrd]

YES!!! You guys are killing me with all the teaser stuff for the A5... when is mine shipping??? I cant wait to get this thing in the house, warmed up, calibrated, SLOWLY broken in, then finally have some buds over for beers and some kick-ass tunes and movies. I dont think my wife realizes what she agreed to!

Yea I can't wait for my A3-300 to arrive! hopefully this week!

Just wondering, why doesn't the A3-300 use a bigger amp like the LT.500? The e5.12 is rated to handle way more power than what the Lt.300 can put out. Would there be an advantage or problem with ordering one with an LT.500?

Good question.

The nice thing about vented boxes is the added efficiency above and below tuning can really take advantage of high compliance suspensions. When matched with high displacement motor capabilities you can displace a TON of air without much power.

In this case you can get the driver in the A3-300 to full excursion with just 300 watts. No reason to burn the extra power if you don't need it. Given the extension requirements and needs of the A3-300 it's just not needed to use the bigger amp.

The nice thing about the A3-300 is it's phenomenal in terms of efficiency, output, and low frequency extension. It's downfall is the size of the box. If your ok with that. No reason to use more power.

If you want a smaller box. Use more power. Thus the 500w makes sense and that's where a sealed box comes in. I heard something about a platform in the shop that works well in that application but for the big output with low cost when box size isn't a concern more power is just a way to increase cost. Not performance. Concentrate on driver engineering instead of adding power for the sake of just adding power and you get great results.

It's like a way of increasing gas mileage and acceleration without increasing cost. You can put in a bigger engine in but the gas mileage will be worse and the car gets heavier. There's a point of diminishing returns.

When subwoofers are designed for small sealed boxes and done so well you can drop them into mid sized vented boxes tuned low and get unbelievable results. Your wife may not love how it looks tho

I got my A5-350 up and running and it is just insane. Everytime it hits I'm always like "Mother of God, what just happened!" The thing is a beast and I love it.

[eD Tech]

That's a awesome shot on the bottom

Glad your enjoying it!

[mpdhrd]

Triax, nice pics. love your setup! mine is coming today!!!!!!!!!

You should find out if eD can do a custom coating on your driver to match the gold Klipsch drivers. That would look awesome!

[DJM]

I havn't seen any photo's of a new A3-300 in the wild (in someones setup). Have the A3-300's started shipping already? I am waiting anxiously for mine and will post photo's of my setup once it arrives!

Looks like you have a perfect spot for a second 350
