About the Focal FPX 1.1000
Power-packed
Power-packed
Focal's Performance Series FPX 1.1000 mono amplifier will drive your subwoofer with up to 1,000 watts RMS. This impressive power comes from a compact chassis that's just a little smaller than one of my Size 10 bedroom slippers, so it'll probably fit just about anywhere in your vehicle. And the good news is that it can handle a 1-ohm load, so it can power a multitude of subs in various wiring configurations.
Tone control for subs
A low-pass filter lets you optimize the signal for the best tone without distortion. The controls include a variable bass boost, variable subsonic filter, and adjustable phase control that'll dial in and focus the bass in your vehicle. Focal includes a wired remote so you can adjust the bass level from your front seat.

CEA-2006 Compliant: CEA-2006 is a system of testing and measurement methods for mobile audio amplifiers. This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for measuring an amplifier's RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured into a 4Ω load, with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion plus noise (THD+N), and over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (for full range amplifiers). Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4Ω. CEA-2006 standards allow consumers to compare amplifiers on an equal basis.
Amp Overview: The Focal FPX 1.1000 is a full-range Class D mono amplifier. Class D amplifiers are compact, but very powerful. Its Class D design and thick aluminum chassis (3/8" on top, 11/16" on the sides) offer efficient dissipation of heat for reliable performance. The amp can be configured for two-channel or mono operation. It has a built-in low-pass crossover and a subsonic filter. The FPX 1.1000 comes with a wired remote with a 16.5' cable.
Power Output: The amplifier has the following power output:
- 420 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
- 700 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
- 1000 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
Compact Footprint: The Focal FPX 1.1000 comes with 2-1/2" long mounting screws that secure the amplifier without external mounting tabs. The mounting holes are placed inside of the amp's 11-3/4" x 5-1/4" footprint and extend the entire thickness of the amp.
Protection Circuits: The amplifier is equipped with protection circuits for the following: short circuits, low impedance, power drop, thermal overload, reversed polarity, or DC offset.
Controls
Level Control (Gain): The Focal FPX 1.1000 is equipped with line level inputs. The input level range is 0.2 Volts to 5.0 Volts. There is a rotary gain control that can be adjusted by a standard flat-head or Phillips screwdriver (not supplied).
Crossover: The amp features a high-quality low-pass crossover that has a variable cutoff frequency from 50Hz to 250Hz. The crossover has a slope of 24dB per octave.
Subsonic Filter: In addition to the low-pass filter, the amp has a subsonic filter that eliminates extremely low frequencies that cause distortion and that speakers typically can't handle. The 10-50 Hz subsonic filter has a steep slope of 24dB per octave.
Remote Control: The FPX 1.1000 comes with a wired remote control that lets you control the bass level from the driver's seat. The small control module can be mounted on a console or under the dash with the supplied screws.
Phase Control: The 0° to 180° phase control lets you adjust the output of the connected subwoofer so that it is in phase with the rest of the speaker system. The rotary control is adjustable with a small screwdriver.
Bass Boost: The amp features a bass boost circuit that is variable from 0 to 12dB with a center frequency of 48 Hz.
Connections
Power Input: Two set-screw terminals are provided for connecting the power and ground cables. The terminals can accept up to 4-gauge wire. The set screws are tightened/loosened with the included 4mm Allen wrench.
Fuses: The amp comes with six 30-amp ATM (mini-blade) fuses; three are installed internally, and the others are replacements. The bottom panel is removed to replace the fuses. A 90-amp fuse (minimum) should be installed on the power wire within 18" of the battery.
Remote Turn-on: The remote turn-on set screw terminal will accept up to 12-gauge wire. The set screw is tightened/loosened with the included 2mm Allen wrench.
Speaker Outputs: The amplifier includes two pairs of speaker output terminals, wired together internally in parallel. This allows you to connect two subwoofers, or wire both voice coils of a DVC speaker, to separate terminals. The set-screw terminals will accept up to 12-gauge wire and are tightened/loosened with the included 2mm Allen wrench.
Signal Input: The amplifier features a pair of stereo RCA inputs for connecting the input signal from the source unit to the amp via RCA cables.
Signal Output: In addition to the line outputs, the FPX 1.1000 has a set of line outputs that can send the audio signal to a second amplifier.
