The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (vehicle floor or chassis) depend on the condi-
tions and standards of installation, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and applicable to the surfaces and/or
brackets involved. In addition, the products may vibrate and damage the brackets onto which they are mounted. For
this reason, the installation operations must be performed by a qualified professional who is familiar with installation
and safety standards. Focal does not provide any end-of-use warranty for a given bracket or installation, as installing
the loudspeakers is the customer's sole responsibility. Focal is therefore not liable in any capacity whatsoever in the event of inci-
dent, accident and/or any other result or damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers.

ponents with exactly the same technical

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
22. If a subwoofer is installed in the vehi-
cle, it is essential to secure it by attach-
ing it solidly. We recommend to attach
the enclosure to the floor or chassis of
the vehicle for safety. If it is not properly
secured, it could become a projectile
in the event of an accident. This is even
more important if the subwoofer is in-
stalled in a hatchback, a station wagon,
a utility vehicle or a van.
23. Some users who are not self-
sufficient enough to use the product on
their own without danger. In particular,
children under 14 or people with some
types of disabilities must be supervised
and/or accompanied when using the
device.
24. To avoid damaging your hearing,
do not listen to loudspeakers at high
volumes for long periods of time. Listen-
ing to loudspeakers at high volumes can
cause damage to the user's ears and
may lead to hearing problems (tempo-
rary or permanent deafness, buzzing
in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis).
Exposure to excessive volumes (over 85
dB) for more than one hour can cause
irreparable damage to your hearing.
