Product Research

Features

Cone: The woofer cone is a sandwich design, with a flax center between two glass layers. This combination of materials results in a neutral sound without coloration.

Surround: The rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity.

Spring-Posts: The spring-post speaker terminals offer easy connection of single banana plugs or bare wire up to 10 gauge.

Rubber Gasket: The gasket/mounting-ring ensures better chassis damping and prevents air leakage. The rubber gasket is removable.

Enclosure: Focal recommends a sealed enclosure volume of 0.28 ft³ (examples are given from 0.21 ft³ to 0.32 ft³). Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable for all types of music.

Q
Can these be mounted in a motorcycle tour pack? Are the weather resistant?

Greetings Brad, and thank you for your question. Many motorcycle enthusiasts install subwoofers in their saddle bags. Remember though subwoofers are looking for a certain amount of air space. These are looking for .21-.38 cubic feet. As far as marine rated, they are not. So keep them dry if to do go ahead with this project.

I was able to use the original enclosure that the factory subwoofer came in. For better sound quality I would highly suggest an enclosure.

So, I had 2 installed in a Porsche 911 in custom boxes due to the lack of room. I have Focal Speakers in the door. They sound spectacular. Good luck. Really amazing subs.

The FSE line is made for small sealed enclosures. Free air installations would most likely lead to over-excursion and poor performance.
