Thank you for choosing Focal. To gain the best results from your product, please ensure you follow these recommendations. If not followed correctly any fault observed may not be covered by the guarantee.
Included
•1 x subwoofer enclosure
•1 x fixing kit
Connections
It is essential that correct polarity is observed with the subwoofer. Positive is marked in red, negative in black.
Wiring
The quality and gauge of wire used will have a strong effect on the quality of sound. Focal recommends a minimum gauge of 2.5mm2 oxygen free copper (OFC) wire for subwoofers. Ask your dealer for advice on your specific installation. We recommend the use of Focal FC 300 and FC 500 cables.
Adjusting the cut-off frequency
The ideal cut-off frequency is usually between 60 and 100Hz. Optimum adjustment can only be achieved after listening and/or measuring.
Recommended power rating
The power handling of Focal’s loudspeakers is very high. It’s important to choose an amplifier powerful enough to provide listening comfort. We advise you the use of Focal’s amplifiers, in order to optimize the electronics/transducer coupling. Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose an amplifier that gives the same or slightly superior power rating than the nominal power handling of the product to amplify.

Warning!
The high output and power handling of Focal subwoofers mean that high sound pressure levels can be reached. We remind you that listening to music at levels beyond 110dB can permanently damage your hearing.
Installation
We have taken time to design a product that will work exceptionally well. To add to this we have included a fixing kit to ensure the subwoofer remains securely mounted. Please follow the below mentioned steps to ensure the subwoofer is mounted correctly.
1 - Rear seats must be positioned in their normal fixed position.
2 - Decide the best possible location that suits your automobile and space available. We recommend to place the subwoofer behind the rear seats in the automobile trunk for an optimum sound quality. It can be positioned either on the right, left or at the centre, it will not change the sound quality, as bass frequencies are not directional.
3 - Ensure the area for subwoofer location is clean and tidy. Any loose objects should be removed, as they could knock and damage the subwoofer, and this is not covered by the warranty.
4 - Once the location has been decided, carefully attach the fixing template with scotch tape
(fig. 1).
5 - Now mark the screw hole positions for the fixing brackets. (Please verify with template.)
6 - Drill two holes of 2 mm for the 4 fixing brackets, at your defined locations. It is advisable to reduce the drill speed and depth to a minimum, in order to prevent any damage to the textile of the seat (fig. 2).
7 - Now carefully position the brackets and screws into place (fig. 3).
8 - Now take the two fixing straps and thread through and fix the other screws of the fixing bracket (fig. 4).
9 - Now place the subwoofer into position, lay the straps around the grille. (these must be positioned at the extremity of grille, as indicated on diagram, this ensures the straps do not interfere with the driver or port tube. Ensure the straps are flat and untangled (fig. 5).
10 - Attach the straps, and pull tight (fig. 6).
