Product Research
Passive Subwoofer
Mono Amplifier
Passive Subwoofer
In-Wall Subwoofer: The Focal 100 Series IWSUB8 passive, bass-reflex subwoofer has been developed to give you high-quality bass reproduction while remaining "low profile" with its in-wall design. The IWSUB8 is an ideal addition to any home theater or home stereo setup and it's 8 ohm configuration allows two to be wired in parallel, providing a 4 ohm load to your mono amplifier (sold separately).
Driver: The IWSUB8 features a single 8" subwoofer driver utilizing Focal's polyglass technology. This manufacturing process applies molten glass microballs to a cellulose pulp cone, combining the excellent damping properties of paper with the rigidity of glass. Polyglass has a rigidity index that exceeds a single skin of Kevlar and has almost ten times the rigidity of polypropylene. This mass/rigidity/damping ratio results in a smooth, linear frequency response.
Enclosure: The IWSUB8's ported enclosure has been specifically optimized for the 8" driver and features a port with a streamlined inner frame for no-noise operation while providing a deep bass response. The driver and enclosure combination offers a frequency response of 34Hz - 140Hz (-3dB) with low-end extension to 30Hz (-6dB).
Terminals: Two recessed spring-post terminals on the bottom of the enclosure are provided for connection, with both accepting up to 12AWG wire.
Mounting: The subwoofer enclosure is designed to be installed, during pre-construction, in walls using 16" OC joists. When fully mounted, the enclosure has an installation depth of 3-3/8" with only the grille visible. The included magnetic metal mounting frame gets mounted on the outside of the drywall and attached to the enclosure, securing all three together. The metal-mesh grille simply "snaps" onto the magnetic frame and can be painted to match the surrounding wall. Mounting hardware is provided, including angle-brackets for attaching the subwoofer to wall studs.
Power: The 8 ohm IWSUB8 subwoofer has a maximum recommended power rating of 200 watts @4 ohms (2 subs wired in parallel), and is the perfect match for the Focal IWSUB8 Amplifier, delivering 150W RMS (200W peak) into a 4 ohm load.

Mono Amplifier
Subwoofer Amplifier: The Focal 100 IWSUB8 Amplifier is a rack-mountable mono subwoofer amplifier capable of delivering up to 150 watts of RMS power into a 4 ohm subwoofer (200W peak power). Designed for powering a single 4 ohm sub, or two 8 ohm subs in parallel, the amplifier is a perfect match for the Focal IWSUB8 in-wall subwoofer.
Rear Panel:
- Input: All audio input to the amp is through a single pair of rear-panel RCA jacks. If running a single mono LFE channel to the amplifier, only the Left RCA jack will be used.
- Output: A second pair of RCA jacks can be used as a pass-thru for the input signal, allowing it to run to an additional subwoofer amplifier (sold separately).
- Speaker Output: A single pair of binding posts provides the powered speaker output, accepting speaker wire up to 12AWG as well as banana or pin connectors. A protective cap can be removed from the end of each post when using banana connectors.
- Voltage Selector: A slide-switch allows the input voltage type to be selected with choices of 100-120V/60Hz and 220-230V/50Hz. The Voltage Selector is protected by a removable cover plate.
Front Panel:
- Status LED
- Auto Turn-On: This allows the amplifier to automatically power on when it detects an audio signal on the input, and shut down when the signal ceases.
- Volume (offset): Allows you to balance the subwoofer volume relative to the overall system volume.
- Phase: Offers a range from 0 to 180 degrees for shifting the subwoofer's phase.
- Crossover: Offers a low-pass cutoff ranging from 40Hz to 200Hz. When the dial is turned all the way clockwise to the LFE setting, the crossover is defeated.
Protection: The 100IWSUB8 Amplifier features built-in protection circuits offering dynamic power control along with short circuit, thermal, and over-current protection. The amplifier also includes a rear-panel fuse holder with a T3.15AL/250V fuse installed.
Mounting: The Focal subwoofer amplifier is shipped ready for table- or shelf-top installation, but includes ears and mounting hardware for rack-mounting as well. With the rack ears installed, the amp will fit a standard 19" rack while taking up 1 horizontal rack space.
