Focal SUB 12 DUAL 12" 4-Ohm DVC Subwoofer - Each (SUB12DUAL)

Focal SUB 12 DUAL 12" 4-Ohm DVC Subwoofer - Each (SUB12DUAL)

Focal SUB 12 DUAL sets the tone right from the first note, delivering deep and powerful bass that feels tight, not muddy. With its 30 cm (11.8") polypropylene cone, this subwoofer moves air like a piston—smooth, controlled, and consistent. Whether you're chasing low-end rumble or clean punch, it brings a solid foundation to any system without overcomplicating things.

Dual Voice Coil Flexibility for More Power

What makes this model stand out? Its dual voice coil design. Unlike a standard single-coil setup, this architecture gives you an extra wiring option. Run it in parallel at 2 ohms and you can tap into more amplifier power, pushing out higher SPL when you want your system to hit harder. It’s like having a second gear ready when you need that extra kick.

Built to Handle Real Output

This sub isn’t just about sound—it’s built to take it. With 300W RMS and up to 600W max power, it holds its composure even when pushed. The ferrite motor structure keeps things stable, while the butyl surround adds durability and control. The result? Bass that stays tight even when the volume climbs.

Works in Sealed or Bass-Reflex Enclosures

Focal SUB 12 DUAL adapts easily to different enclosure types. Prefer tight, accurate bass? A sealed box starting from 15L delivers clean response. Want more output and boom? A bass-reflex enclosure from 30L opens it up. It gives you flexibility without forcing you into one setup.

Designed for System Compatibility

This subwoofer fits naturally into a wide range of Focal systems, including Auditor, Access, Universal, Polyglass, and Slatefiber kits. It acts as a reliable bass upgrade that blends in without overpowering the rest of your setup. It doesn’t try to steal the show—it completes it.

Smart Design That Keeps Things Simple

Focal didn’t overlook usability. The screw-in push-button terminals make connections quick and secure, keeping things straightforward. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a difference when setting things up.

Engineered with Precision

Designed and developed in France, the Focal SUB 12 DUAL reflects careful engineering throughout. From the 50mm (2") voice coil to its optimized parameters like 24Hz resonance frequency and 88dB sensitivity, every detail supports consistent and reliable performance.
