Below the cutoff of the front horn around 125hz, the bass from an A7 is basically coming from a huge helmholz resonator peak around 70hz, augmented by a lot of boxwall resonance. It's a big fartbox. That is not necessarily such a bad thing, and many people enjoy their A7 systems despite their fuzzy, inadequate bass. However, if you want something a little more serious, I think you'd have to look into something like a sealed sub at least. Of course, this would also mean you don't need such a big cabinet, which then leads to a dedicated fronthorn midbass something like the Edgar midbass. For really serious bass, I'd look into the Danley tapped horn subs, particularly the TH50 which is designed for home use.
