Congratulations on choosing Focal automobile vented box. To gain the best

results from your speaker, please ensure you follow these recommendations, and

keep carefully this user manual so that you can consult it later. If not followed

correctly any fault observed may not be covered by the guarantee.

Precautions

For the subwoofer to perform at its best, we recommend to use it in a location where

temperature doesn’t go below 5°C.

• The location must also be dry and offer adequate entilation.

• The supply oltage requirement is 12VDC (13.8VDC) with the negati e connection

grounded. Please make sure that the characteristics of your ehicle correspond with this

requirement before connecting the equipment.

• For safe dri ing, we recommend that you operate your sound equipment at a listening le el

that does not conceal traffic noise.

arning!

The performance of the Focal BombA 20 A1 allows high sound pressure le els to be generated.

We remind you that sustained listening beyond 110dB SPL can permanently and irre ersibly

damage your hearing. We recommend that you adjust the le el of your equipment

correspondingly.

For safety reasons, it is essential that you securely fix the subwoofer enclosure in the boot

(make sure you do not drill through the petrol tank if you fix it with screws).

Mounting kit included:

- 2 x nylon straps

- 4 x metal roll bar

- 8 x fixing screws

- 1 x template

Mounting

A power supply kit dedicated to the BombA cabling will shortly be a ailable at your supply.

• Unplug the “+” from the battery

• Make sure you follow the car manufacturer instructions (airbag, alarm system, computer,

immobiliser ...).

• Always use battery lead connections.

Cable routing

The 12V supply cables should be passed down one side of the ehicle and the signal

cables down the other. These cables must be suitably protected to a oid any damage to the

insulation, especially when feeding the cable through from the engine compartment to the

passenger cabin.

Installation

We ha e taken time to design a product that will work exceptionally well. To add to this we

ha e included a fixing kit to ensure the subwoofer remains securely mounted. Please follow

the below mentioned steps to ensure the subwoofer is mounted correctly.

1 - Rear seats must be positioned in their normal fixed position.

2 - Decide the best location possible that suits your automobile and space a ailable. We

recommend the best location for optimum sound quality and most secure is to position

behind the rear seats, in the trunk of the automobile. It can be positioned in either left

centre or right side locations. This will not change the sound quality, as bass frequencies

are not directional.

3 - Ensure the area for subwoofer location is clean and tidy. Any loose objects are remo ed, as

they could knock and damage the subwoofer, and this is not co ered by the warranty.

4 - Once the location has been decided, carefully attach the fixing template with scotch tape

(fig. 1).

5 - Now mark the screw hole positions for the fixing brackets. (Please erify with template).

6 - Drill two holes 2 mm for the 4 fixing brackets, at your defined locations. It is ad isable

that the drill depth be reduced to a minimum length, so to pre ent drilling to deep into the

textile of the seat (fig. 2).

7 - Now carefully position the brackets and one screw per bracket into place (fig. 3).

8 - Now take the two fixing straps and thread through the aperture a ailable on the fixing

bracket (fig. 4) and position the second screw on each bracket.

9 - Now place the subwoofer into position, lay the straps around the grille. These must be

positioned at the extremity of grille, as indicated on diagram, this ensures the straps do not

interfere with the dri er or port tube. Ensure the straps are flat and untangled (fig. 5).

10 - Attach the straps and pull tight (fig. 6).

11 - Ensure the cabinet is securely fastened into position. Adjust straps if necessary to maintain

a secure hold to the rear seat.

12 - Your subwoofer is ready to use.

Power supply 

(+) The 12V cable (BAT) must be connected to the battery with a cable of appropriate quality

and size, 8mm2 (7AWG). Protect the installation with a 15A fuse on this cable fitted less than

40cm (16”) away from the battery.

(-) The ground wire (GND) must be connected to the chassis of your ehicle with a perfect

electrical connection (remo e some paint to re eal bare metal if necessary) and with a cable

of the same specification as used for the + feed.

Connect the remote cable (REM) to the electrical aerial output or to the remote output of

your radio.

Low level input (RCA) 

Connect to the RCA output of the radio

High-level input 

Connect to the loudspeaker outputs of the radio.

Ne er connect the RCA and the high-le el inputs together.

Adjusting the Volume 

The olume setting allows you to match the le el of the BombA with the le el of the front

system. Setting:

- Turn the gain on the BombA down completely

- Turn the radio up to a normal listening le el.

- Turn the gain  up on the BombA until you get the required balance.

Phase inverter 

It allows you to phase the subwoofer (generally ad ised) or unphase it.

The right setting is determined by listening and finding the one (matching with the front

system) that pro ides the most bass.

Adjustable cut-off frequency 

An electronic crosso er remo es medium and high frequencies beyond a point set by the user.

The ideal is to extend the bass frequencies in an e en and continuous manner from where the

front system rolls off. In general, a cut-off frequency located between 80 and 100Hz should

be suitable for most systems. This setting becomes more critical when the BombA is used

within a high-end hi-fi system.

The idea cut-off frequency will only be found after extensi e listening to a wide range of

musical.

Warning! Very few recordings possess real bass frequencies. Bass notes such as those found

in Rock, Techno, Ragga music etc. are rarely located within the extreme bass area, but more

likely in the high bass band.

As a consequence, it is recommended to select a cut-off frequency between 100 and 120Hz

for these styles of music. Howe er, you may prefer a lower cut-off frequency for classical

music.

It is possible to set the cut-off frequency anywhere between 50 and 200Hz.

This adjustment should be made in reference to the listening position and with your preferred

type of music.

For a more precise adjustment, your retailer may use an analyzer (RTA).
