Focal Closed subwoofer
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.

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.
