The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (vehicle floor or chassis) depend on the conditions
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 incident,
accident and/or any other result or damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers.
Conditions of warranty
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal distributor in your country. Your distributor can
provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at least to that granted by the legal warranty in
force in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

22. If a subwoofer is installed in the
vehicle, it is essential to secure it by
attaching 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 installed 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.
Listening to loudspeakers at high
volumes can cause damage to the
user's ears and may lead to hearing
problems (temporary 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.
