Focal sub installed

The longer I have it and the more I listen to it the more I like it. It does sound great, I was just expecting to much with just 400 watts. I guess I'm just to much of a bass head and it took me awhile to appreciate the SQ side car audio.

Nice to see ya.

He's been busy with another forum

If the Focal doesn't offer enough output, you can always add more :)

This sub itself is designed along the lines of getting a sealed type of response, with the advantages a ported box has in terms of reducing excursion around tuning, lowering distortion at that point, etc. The subwoofer itself doesn't have a ton of excursion and it's a good compromise for a SQ application.

I know the specs say that this subwoofer likes a ported box, but I have the same subwoofer and it is in a 1.77cuft SEALED enclosure. granted, the output isn't much ( best is 132db ) but, it does do one thing very well. It is the perfect SQ sub to me. Light, tight, controlled...if a sub could sing, this would be the sub.

The only difference between his and mine is that I have the dual 2ohm 13" subwoofer

welcome back GEO, you were missed bro!
