About the Focal Polyglass 33 V2
Focal's Polyglass subwoofer uses precision craftmanship and advanced materials to create a big bass impression. Focal creates the Polyglass cone by depositing a layer of hollow glass microbeads over a layer of cellulose. This unique material combines the warm sound of cellulose with the incredible strength of glass, for a cone that responds rapidly with low resonance. The exceptionally resilient zinc alloy basket teams up with the Polyglass cone, butyl rubber surround, and an advanced motor structure to deliver uncolored bass that'll please the discerning ear.
The Polyglass 33 V2 13" subwoofer handles up to 400 watts RMS, and Focal optimizes this sub to work in sealed enclosures for ultra-tight, accurate reproduction. The dual 4-ohm voice coils allow you to draw maximum power from your mono sub amplifier. Complete your system with an enclosure, a compatible amp, and some wiring to experience Focal's bass finesse.
Note: If you are wiring this DVC sub for lower impedance, make sure that your amp is compatible. Most 2-channel car amplifiers are stable down to 2 ohms in standard mode, or 4 ohms in bridged operation. Most mono amps are stable down to 2 ohms.

Features
Polyglass Cone: The FOCAL Polyglass 33V2 features an 13" polyglass cone woofer for a wide, dynamic frequency response of 30-500Hz that offers neutral, coloration free sound. The uniform deposit of hollow-glass microballs over the entire cellulose pulp cone greatly increases its rigidity without adding significant weight, so you get a woofer that is durable, yet efficient, and sounds great.
NBR Surround: The FOCAL Polyglass 33V2 features a NBR (Nitrile Butyl Rubber) surround for long excursion, deep bass, and added durability to promote long life.
Kapton Former Voice-Coil: The Polyglass 33V2 woofer features a 4 layer, 2.5625" diameter, dual 4-ohm, Kapton former (aluminum) voice-coil for higher power handling capabilities up to 400 watt (RMS) and 800 watt (Peak).
Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: This woofer features dual 4-ohm voice coils that offer flexibility in wiring. When the voice coils are wired in parallel with each other, the woofer presents a 2-ohm mono load. When the voice coils are wired in series with each other, the woofer presents an 8-ohm mono load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel will see a 4-ohm load.
Louvered Cooling System: The Polyglass 33V2's Louvered Cooling System is self-regulated ventilation system which increases air cooling, prevents heat build-up, and provides optimized reliability with performance consistency.
156mm Magnet: The Polyglass 33V2 woofer features dual 156mm (6.125") ferrite magnets for higher sensitivity up to 90dB (2.83V/1m).
Die Cast Chassis: The FOCAL Polyglass 33V2 features a die-cast Zamak chassis which is a rigid, non-magnetic, and non-resonant frame that provides a strong, reliable structure for the woofer.
Spring-Posts: The FOCAL 13" woofer is equipped with two pair of nickel-plated spring-post speaker terminals for easy connection up to 10AWG wire.
Foam Gasket: The Polyglass 33V2 comes supplied with a self-adhesive foam gasket mounting-ring for better chassis damping and to prevent air leakage.
Enclosure Compatibility
Recommended Sealed Box Volume: The FOCAL Polyglass 33V2 is designed to be installed in a sealed box with a volume between 0.106 cu/ft to 1.77 cu/ft. FOCAL recommends a sealed enclosure made out of 3/4" MDF with an internal volume of 1.41 cu/ft.
