For sale are my two, trusty Focal Utopia 33 WX Subwoofers. I really can't say enough about these subs as they held down all low frequency duties in my Accord without ever complaining or missing a beat. These were the speakers in my car the longest, which is really quite a testimonial! I'm sad to see them go, but I've no pending plans for a system and they'll be much appreciated by the next owner to give them a good home. I am the original owner... these subs list for $1295 each and I am offering mine at $450 each, obo, plus shipping.

- 33cm driver - 13"
- Bass reflex enclosure (though I preferred sealed, they were fantastic)
- 77mm Voice Coil - 3"
- Max Power 700W
- Multiple Magnets - 12 x 72mm / 12 x 2 7/8"
- Sensitivity - 94.4db / 1W / 1M
- Frequency Response 30 Hz* - 1 kHz

* These subs played flat to 12 Hz in my car, in my install, and my tuning.

Thanks for your consideration. :)

Good question :)

I initially ran the pair in a vented enclosure built exactly to specs and was very pleased. Being the habitual tinkerer that I am, however, I wondered about a sealed enclosure... for a temporary experiment I went into the vented enclosure and sealed off the innermost end of the vent/port and gave them a try that way. I was really happy with what I heard so I made a box with two sealed enclosures within and kept them that way for the rest of the system's lifetime. So, the answer (my answer, anyway) is that they worked really well with either configuration.

Not sure what you mean by "hook up", but the enclosure sizes were the Focal recommended spec for the vented and then just over 1 cu. ft. for each sealed enclosure.

SSexpo03... no experience with them free-air

Someone listed two of three of those subs late last year for 450.00 for both. Am pretty sure he sold them real quick.

Bump for some SEXY subs. Never heard them but they sure do look sexy.
