At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

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.
