Focal 130 AC Coaxial Car Speaker Set
130,00 €
Focal 130 AC is a pair of 13 cm two-way coaxial car speakers designed for two mounting locations. The 50 W RMS rated power is the main reference for amplifier matching. Check the 54.7 mm mounting depth before removing the vehicle trim. Rotating aluminium tweeters allow the high frequencies to be aimed towards the listening position.
Focal 130 AC speakers are a pair of 13 cm two-way coaxial car speakers designed for two installation locations in a vehicle audio system. The woofer and tweeter are combined in a single assembly, so the tweeters do not require separate mounting holes.
Design and frequency range
The woofer cone uses a DFS® Dual Fiberglass Structure. The aluminium tweeter features an inverted-dome design and can be rotated, allowing the high frequencies to be aimed towards the preferred listening area.
An integrated crossover divides the signal at 4.7 kHz with a slope of 6 dB per octave. As the filtering is built into the speakers, this two-way set does not require a separate external crossover between the amplifier and each speaker.
The specified 89.3 dB sensitivity is measured with a 2.83 V signal at a distance of one metre. For an accurate comparison, use this figure only against speakers measured under the same conditions. The stated frequency range of 70 Hz-20 kHz covers the high-frequency region, but it does not extend into the very lowest bass frequencies.
Connections and amplifier power
Connect both speakers to the speaker-level outputs of a car stereo or power amplifier. An RCA line-level signal is not intended to drive passive speakers directly. Use separate amplified outputs for the left and right channels.
Keep the polarity consistent on both channels when connecting the wiring. Reversing the positive and negative leads on one speaker can weaken the system’s overall bass response. Test both channels before refitting the vehicle trim permanently.
The 50 W RMS rated power is the main reference when matching the speakers to an amplifier. The 100 W figure indicates maximum power rather than continuous output. Set the amplifier level so that the sound remains clean, without audible distortion.
Installation and tweeter direction
Before installation, check the vehicle’s available speaker location against the 130 mm nominal diameter. There must also be enough space behind the mounting surface for the 54.7 mm-deep assembly. Allow additional clearance for the window mechanism, interior trim and wiring connections.
Secure both speakers firmly and, where the vehicle’s mounting positions allow, install them at a similar height. A loose installation may cause the surrounding trim to vibrate. The included protective grilles can cover the speakers when they are fitted in exposed locations.
For the initial setup, point both rotating tweeters at approximately the same angle. Then sit in the normal listening position and compare several directions. A very direct angle may make the high frequencies more prominent, so choose the final position by listening.

FAQ
Do the tweeters need separate mounting locations?
No. In each coaxial assembly, the tweeter is mounted above the main cone. This provides two-way sound reproduction from a single vehicle speaker location.
Which output should I use for this speaker set?
Use the amplified speaker outputs of the car stereo or power amplifier. If connected directly to an RCA line output, the speakers will not receive the amplified signal required for operation.
How should I connect the left and right channels?
Follow the same positive and negative wiring arrangement on both sides. Consistent polarity helps prevent phase cancellation between the speakers.
How should I set the direction of the rotating tweeters?
Begin with the same angle on both sides. From the listening position, compare several settings and choose the direction that produces the most balanced sound.
Do these speakers reproduce the lowest frequencies?
Their specified frequency range begins at 70 Hz. A separate bass solution is required in the car audio system to reproduce the very lowest bass region.
What is included in the package?
The package contains two car speakers and protective grilles. One set therefore provides speakers for both the left and right channels.
