Focal SUB 12 Dual – High SPL Bass with Flexible Wiring

Looking for a powerful subwoofer that delivers intense bass and versatile installation options? The Focal SUB 12 Dual is engineered to elevate your in-car audio with deeper, more impactful low-end frequencies. Designed and developed in France, it blends Focal's legendary audio precision with rugged durability.

At its core is a 12-inch polypropylene cone, known for its rigidity and low distortion — ideal for high SPL performance. The dual voice coil (DVC) design allows flexible wiring configurations, including 2-Ohm parallel operation, so you can push your amplifier to its full potential.

Whether you're installing in a sealed box (15L minimum) for tighter, more accurate bass or a bass-reflex enclosure (30L+) for deeper resonance, the SUB 12 Dual adapts to your build.

Why Choose the Focal SUB 12 Dual?

This subwoofer is built for serious bass enthusiasts. Whether you're creating a subtle OEM+ upgrade or an SPL-focused system, the SUB 12 Dual offers exceptional control, clarity, and punch — backed by Focal's French audio engineering pedigree.
