Focal SUB 1000F Active Subwoofer 30 cm, Black (Each)

The Focal SUB 1000F is an active, sealed subwoofer with a 30 cm Flax cone and a 1000 W BASH amplifier for precise deep bass in music and home-cinema systems. Supplied as a single unit.

The sealed design deliberately does without a bass-reflex port – that gives a dry, fast bass with no overhang, tuned to match the rest of the Focal range.

Why the Focal SUB 1000F?

Because clean deep bass is more than just volume. The light, rigid Flax cone follows the signal quickly and delivers precise hits instead of mushy boom. The BASH amplifier delivers its 1000 watts efficiently and as needed. The sealed enclosure keeps the bass under control – ideal when definition matters more than pure rumble.

What you hear

Dry, punchy bass that hits you in the gut during a film and stays exactly in time in music. A subwoofer that blends into the sound rather than drowning it out.

Who is the SUB 1000F for – and who isn't it for?

Straight talk: the SUB 1000F is for anyone who wants precise deep bass for both music and home cinema. If all you want is cheap wall-rattling "party boom," you won't be happy with this sealed concept – that's a different league. And at 21.5 kg it's no lightweight; get a second pair of hands when carrying it up several flights of stairs.

Is one subwoofer enough for my room?

For medium to large rooms, the 1000 W of power delivers even pressure without a problem. In very large rooms, two subwoofers distribute the bass more evenly and smooth out standing waves.

Our verdict

A precise, fast subwoofer that takes music as seriously as film effects. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we tune it to your room and integrate it cleanly into your stereo or home-cinema setup.

Frequently asked questions

What does the sealed design give me?

More precision. Without a bass-reflex port, the bass doesn't overhang – it sounds drier and more defined, which mainly benefits music playback.

What does the Flax cone do for the bass?

Speed and definition. Flax is light and rigid, so the cone follows the signal more accurately than conventional materials – the bass becomes a precise element of both music and film.

Why buy the Focal SUB 1000F at HD Zürisee?

Because a subwoofer only really sounds good once it's calibrated properly. We choose placement and crossover frequency, tune it to your speakers, and integrate it with our own technician.
