Closed subwoofer

Sub 600P is the ideal subwoofer for your audio system, whether for stereo music or home theater. Its closed design delivers deep, impactful and controlled bass. Its 600-watt Class D amplifier feeds a 30 cm speaker with power.

PERFORMANCE

Sub 600P stands out for its meticulous technical design. Its 600 watt Class D amplifier (300 watts RMS) powers a 30 cm diameter Polyflex loudspeaker, a stiffer, heavier cone for high power handling. Its closed design avoids all parasitic noise, ensuring the most faithful reproduction of the original signal.

ESTHETISM

Beyond its performance, this subwoofer combines aesthetics and discretion. Its black High Gloss front panel, brushed MDF cabinet and magnetic fabric holder give it a modern look, blending harmoniously into your living spaces and audio installations.

Overall Score 90/100

Deliciously Crispy

Focal Closed subwoofer delivers a punchy, tightly controlled low end, driven by its 12" Polyflex driver and sealed enclosure that reaches down to 26Hz. Reviews praise its powerful bass, sealed design and seamless integration with Focal systems — Steve Withers / Sound Advice highlights its dynamic, well-textured impact that complements multichannel setups.

Sound Advice

"The result is an accomplished, immersive speaker and subwoofer combination that will elevate any multichannel amplifier with which it is partnered."

Pros

Powerful, well-controlled low-frequency performance from the 12" Polyflex driver and sealed enclosure, delivering deep extension and impactful LFE.
Seamless integration with Focal floorstanders and multichannel systems, producing a cohesive, correctly balanced low end.
High build quality and refined finishes consistent with Focal's standards.

Cons

Not the most forensic in high-frequency detail — trades a touch of micro-detail for musical balance.
Basic connectivity and tuning options (RCA/LFE inputs, AutoStandby) with no mention of onboard DSP or app control.

Sound Quality

91/100

Bass

91/100

Reviewer describes 'powerful bass', 'infrasonic depth' and that the sub 'plays its part' giving explosions added depth; the specification (-6dB @26Hz, 12" driver) supports strong sealed-extension and control. Evidence points to impactful, well-textured low end for its class, so a high but not reference-level score is warranted.

Dynamics

91/100

The review cites 'dynamic and engaging bass', 'blunt-force-trauma levels of bass' and LFE that gives effects added impact; this indicates strong macro and transient performance and good headroom for demanding movie material.

Integration

93/100

Review explicitly states the sub is 'perfectly integrated' with the two floorstanders and the system produces a 'seamless blend' of channels. These outcome-focused phrases indicate excellent real-world blending rather than just feature claims.

Build Quality

90/100

Package-level comments state 'overall build quality is excellent' with 'lovely' finishes and robust binding-posts; applied to the subwoofer as part of the reviewed system, this supports a high build-quality rating.

Features Connectivity

80/100

The review and spec sheet show basic, expected features (RCA/LFE inputs, AutoStandby) but offer little commentary on DSP, app control or advanced tuning. A baseline score is applied for adequate, conventional connectivity and controls.

Value for Money

82/100

Performance and build are strong, but the review does not call the sub a 'no-brainer' or 'best in class' and the listed price (~£/€1400) is substantial. Good value relative to execution but not an exceptional bargain per available commentary.
