Product Description

Everything you need to know about the product

The FOCAL SUB 30 KXE is the ultimate 12″ subwoofer for audiophiles craving precision bass, high SPL, and exceptional sound quality. Handcrafted in France, this premium sub belongs to the fourth generation of Focal's K2 Power series, renowned for its unmatched performance and distinctive yellow aramid fibre cone.

Engineered for car audio systems that demand the best, the SUB 30 KXE offers power, durability, and acoustic excellence in every beat. With its double voice coil, ventilated aluminium frame, and progressive profile spider, this subwoofer delivers tight, dynamic bass with impressive control — even at high volumes.

SUB 30 KXE

K2 Sandwich Membrane — Purity and Precision of Sound

The diaphragm is the key component of a loudspeaker and sits at the heart of Focal's acoustic engineers' research. Shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. In 1986, Focal's teams unveiled an aramid fibre sandwich membrane, recognisable by its unique yellow colour. It has been extensively renewed over the years while retaining the characteristics that made it such a success. Today, it consists of an ultra-light foam core sandwiched between a layer of aramid fibre and a layer of glass fibre — combining the three key factors of a loudspeaker membrane: rigidity, lightness, and damping, for a precise, dynamic, and uncoloured sound.

TMD Suspension — Stabilised Surround, Eliminates Vibrations

Focal's engineers also innovate in all the components that make up their loudspeakers, including the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilise the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and addresses the erratic behaviour of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
