Focal Subwoofers
Focal Subwoofers cover everything from affordable entry-level 8 inch drivers to flagship Utopia M and K2 Power models, available from £109.99. Whether you are building a simple sealed-box install on a budget or specifying a premium build with shallow-mount constraints, there is a Focal sub to suit.
The range spans five series — Subwoofer Line, Slatefiber, Flax Evo, K2 Power and Utopia M — in sizes from 5¾ to 12 inches, with power handling from 200W to 800W RMS.

Which Focal subwoofer should I choose?
The Subwoofer Line (SUB 10, SUB 12) is the most accessible option, with polypropylene cones suited to sealed or bass-reflex enclosures. Choose a dual voice coil version if you want wiring flexibility for your amplifier, and the Slim variants if enclosure depth is restricted. The Slatefiber SUB 20 SF steps up with a recycled carbon fibre cone and includes a grille. Flax Evo models use a glass fibre/flax/glass fibre sandwich cone and handle up to 300W RMS; FSE slim variants are designed for compact sealed builds.
For higher power, the K2 Power SUB 25 KXE handles 600W RMS and the SUB 30 KXE reaches 800W RMS, both featuring dual voice coils and K2 sandwich cones made in France. The K2 Power M SUB 5 KM offers a compact 5¾" option at 200W RMS where space is the primary constraint. At the top of the range, the Utopia M SUB10WM combines an M-profile W sandwich cone with a neodymium motor and requires just 10 litres of sealed enclosure, also manufactured in France.
