Quick Guide from the Manual

This manual provides installation and usage instructions for the Focal Inside MBZ speaker series.

The manual includes specific wiring diagrams for woofer protection and installation recommendations to ensure optimal performance.

Important Safety Instructions

• Hearing Protection: Avoid listening to loudspeakers at high volumes for long periods. Exposure to volumes over 85 dB for more than one hour can cause irreparable hearing damage.
• Secure Installation: If a subwoofer is installed in your vehicle, ensure it is firmly secured to the floor or chassis to prevent it from becoming a projectile in the event of an accident.
• Cables and Fuses: Use provided cables and harnesses as instructed without modification. If a fuse is included, replace it only with one of the same rating.

Installation Recommendations

• Space Check: Before cutting, check the available space in the vehicle to fit the speakers. Ensure there is enough space between the speaker and the protection grille.
• Cleanliness: Ensure the speaker is clean from debris and metallic particles, especially after drilling. Clean the area before mounting.
• Running-in Period: To ensure complex mechanical elements work in harmony, allow a running-in period of a few weeks. Run the system with medium volume settings using music with full bandwidth (sub-bass through treble).
• Installation Tutorials: Installation details vary by model; refer to the online installation videos at www.focal.com/focal-inside/videos/.
