Focal P 20 FE – 8" Flax Cone Subwoofer (500W)

The Focal P 20 FE is an 8-inch subwoofer engineered for those who demand deep, dynamic, and natural-sounding bass without compromising on space. Designed and manufactured in France, this subwoofer benefits from Focal's patented Flax cone technology, offering a unique blend of rigidity, lightness, and damping — delivering powerful, distortion-free low frequencies.

At its core is Focal's signature flax fibre cone, a sandwich construction formed from a natural flax core between two layers of glass fibre. This structure reproduces bass that is both precise and powerful, making your music feel more immersive and alive.

A robust shaped rubber surround ensures wide excursion and extended frequency response, while the glass fibre coil former effectively manages heat, preventing performance drop-off during long play sessions. The integrated 120mm Dual Magnet motor enhances power handling, pushing up to 500W peak and 250W RMS.

Whether you are using a sealed box (10–15L) for tighter, more responsive bass, or a bass-reflex enclosure (10–20L) for louder, deeper output, the P 20 FE adapts easily to your car audio setup.

Perfect for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their factory subwoofer or build a high-performance sound system in a compact vehicle. With its natural bass response, premium build quality, and Made in France authenticity, the Focal P 20 FE is an ideal solution for those who want both power and precision in their car audio setup.

Everything you need to know

A deep dive into our industry-leading technology and high-performance standards.

What makes the Flax cone different from a standard paper or polypropylene cone?

The flax fibre sandwich construction combines high rigidity with excellent acoustic damping. This results in more natural, distortion-free bass compared to conventional cone materials, particularly at higher volumes.

What enclosure size do I need for the P 20 FE?

The P 20 FE works in sealed enclosures from 10–15L for tighter, more responsive bass, or bass-reflex enclosures from 10–20L for louder, deeper output. Choose based on your listening preference and available space.

How much amplifier power do I need?

The P 20 FE handles 250W RMS, which is substantial for an 8-inch subwoofer. Match your amplifier's continuous output to the RMS rating for best results, and avoid exceeding the 500W peak rating.
