Simple bass solutions
Focal has gained a worldwide reputation for their state-of-the-art materials and innovative speaker design, and now they've brought their expertise to ready-to-install subwoofer enclosures made to bring the best out of their subs and out of your music. Their Access Universal 12 sub enclosure gives you a high-performance 12" sub in a specially-designed box that delivers the big bass you're looking for.
Standout sub design
The centerpiece of the Access Universal 12 is Focal's 30A4 12" subwoofer. Its advanced design features a dual-layer fiberglass structure (DFS) cone and a butyl rubber surround made to lay down some serious bottom end while minimizing distortion. The speaker's 4-ohm impedance works with most amplifiers, and its post-style wiring connectors make wiring simple. The 30A4 will handle up to 250 watts RMS, giving you plenty of bass for your daily drive.
Thinking inside the box
You need a well-designed enclosure to bring out the best in your sub, and Focal has done their homework. The enclosure's ported design emphasizes the lowest ranges so it'll fill in your music's lowest octave. Its solid MDF construction and black carpet covering give it the strength to stand up to the automotive environment — a leatherette insert with the Focal logo adds extra style points. The enclosure is filled with Blackhole's Stuff, a 100% cotton sound-deadening material that reduces unwanted resonance so the bass shines through.
If the low end of your current car system leaves you cold, warm up your sound with great bass from Focal.

Features
Overview: The Focal Access Universal 12 features a 12" Sub30A4 subwoofer mounted in a compact ported enclosure designed to take up minimal vehicle space. The single 4 ohm subwoofer can handle up to 250 watts RMS (500W peak), providing deep clean bass for any size vehicle.
Driver: The included Sub30A4 12" driver features Focal's patented DFS (Dual Fiberglass Structure) technology incorporated into the cone design. This along with a Butyl rubber surround provide low elasticity and high rigidity. A 2" voice-coil on a Kapton former helps reduce overheating while providing higher power handling and cone excursion, resulting in deep controlled bass.
Enclosure: The Focal Universal 12 subwoofer's ported enclosure is constructed of rigid MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) for low resonance, and is lined with Blackhole Stuff damping material. This 100% cotton material provides superior damping over conventional enclosure materials such as polyester or fiberglass. The enclosure's port is tuned at 32Hz (a 25Hz subsonic filter is recommended), allowing for a frequency response down to 41Hz. The enclosure is protected from dings and scratches with an attractive black carpet covering and includes a black leatherette insert with the Focal logo in red.
Terminals: A terminal-cup on the side of the enclosure houses two threaded binding-posts with knurled tensioning-nuts. Each terminal-post can accommodate bare speaker wire up to 12 AWG or banana-connectors.
