Thank you for purchasing a Focal product. Welcome to our High-Fidelity world. Innovation, tradition, excellence and
pleasure are our values; our one and only aim is to bring you a sound that is rich, pure and true. To get the most out of your
product, read this booklet and store it in a safe place to refer to in the future.
Pre-installation wiring
You will only be able to begin fitting the ISUB once you have connected it using the dedicated spaces on the product
(fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4).
Installation
Please use suitable screws for fixing to the vehicle floor and to avoid damaging the sub, vehicle trim or any of its other
components (fig. 7).
Loudspeaker positioning
The loudspeakers in the range have been designed to deliver the most faithful bass reproduction. Nonetheless, a few simple
rules should be followed to optimise their performance and to guarantee good tonal balance and a realistic sound image.
Make sure to place the woofer under the driver's seat (fig. 6 and fig. 7). Ensure that there are no objects positioned across
the grille, as this could damage the ISUB Active speaker drivers.
ISUB Active 2.1
This subwoofer delivers the most faithful bass reproduction as well as amplifies the front speakers in the car
(fig. 3). In the case of an RCA connection, disconnect the plug provided for this purpose on the cable harness. Please make
sure that this instruction is strictly adhered to in order not to damage the product.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Maintenance
To look after the ISUB loudspeakers, simply dust using a dry cloth. If the grille is marked, use a damp duster. Never use
solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrapers or scouring utensils to clean the surface of the speaker drivers.
Running-in period
The speaker drivers used are complex mechanical components that require a running-in period to operate at their best. This
running-in period varies depending on the conditions in question and may take several weeks. To reduce this time, operate
the speaker drivers for about 20 hours at a moderate volume. Once the speaker drivers' characteristics have fully stabilised,
you will be able to enjoy the performance of your ISUB products to the full.
Warranty terms and conditions
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal distributor in your country. Your distributor can
provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at least to that granted by the legal warranty
in force in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued.
For the purposes of improvement or to take into account any legal or regulatory changes, FOCAL-JMLab reserves the right to modify the technical spe-
cifications of its products without prior notice. Where applicable, the images shown are intended for illustration purposes only, and may differ slightly
from the product sold.
