Thank you for purchasing a Focal product. Welcome to our High-Fidelity world. Our values are innovation, tradition,
excellence and pleasure; 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, we recommend that you read the instructions in this booklet, then store it in a safe place to refer to in the
future if needed.
Important recommendations
First of all, check the space available for fitting the speaker drivers (refer to the plans on the packaging) then proceed with
the cutting required. If mounted in the factory location, check that there is sufficient space between the speaker driver and
the protective grille.
• Keep the speaker drivers clear of any metal shavings and dust particles during the cutting process.
• Clean thoroughly before fitting the speaker drivers.
• Ensure that there are no objects positioned across the grille, as this could damage the speaker drivers.
Choosing an amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeaker and drivers, but rather a lack of power. It is
recommended to use an amplifier that delivers 20% more power than the system's total power to avoid a surge or damage
to the products. Your dealer will be able to guide you, depending on your tastes and budget.
Ensure that you follow the recommendations for your amplifier in order to correctly connect each product from the K2
Power line.
Pre-installation wiring
You will only be able to begin fitting your products once you have connected them using the terminal block on the speaker
drivers (fig. 1, 2). We recommend using a cable with a marker to ensure the polarity of the speaker drivers is respected (+/-).
Bi-amplification cabling
In a bi-amplified 2-way kit (4-channel amplifier), make sure you follow (fig. 3, 4). In a bi-amplified 3-way kit (4-channel
amplifier), make sure you follow (fig. 5, 6, 7).
Installation
Please use suitable screws to avoid damaging your sub, your vehicle trim or any of its other components (fig. 8).
Loudspeaker positioning
The loudspeakers in the range have been designed to deliver the most faithful sound reproduction for any style of music.
Nonetheless, a few simple rules should be followed to optimise their performance and to guarantee good tonal balance
and a realistic sound image.
SUB 25 KXS / SUB 25 KXE / SUB 30 KXE
It is essential that the subwoofer is contained within an enclosure of suitable dimensions, to create an appropriate internal
volume that will maximise the performance of the selected speaker driver (fig. 18). Please use suitable screws to avoid
damaging your sub, the floor of your vehicle or any of its other components (fig. 20). Connect your subwoofer to the
amplifier using the terminal block located on the side of the speaker driver (fig. 20). Ensure that the subwoofer is pointing
towards an open space in order to achieve the best performance.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Maintenance
To look after the K2 Power speaker drivers, simply dust using a dry cloth. If the grille is marked, we recommend that you
use just a damp cloth. Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrapers or scouring utensils to clean
the surface of the speaker drivers.
