Focal continues to expand its catalog of car speaker drivers. The Saint-Étienne based manufacturer has unveiled the T3Y series, comprising 4 models: the Focal ICC T3Y 100, Focal IC T3Y 100 and Focal IS T3Y 100 car speakers, as well as the Focal IW T3Y 200 car subwoofers. Developed exclusively for the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y electric cars, this range combines French expertise and custom integration to enhance the original audio set-up of Elon Musk’s vehicles.

Focal T3Y, Flax sandwich cone
The kits in this new Focal range incorporate the Flax sandwich cone, developed by the brand and used in prestigious hi-fi speaker ranges such as the Focal Kanta series. Made from flax and glass fibers, the Flax cone ensures a natural, realistic sound reproduction. The latter is mounted on a butyl surround, a component made from rubber and carbon. The assembly is combined with a neodymium magnet to guarantee ample excursion and allow the bass to unfold properly.

Focal T3Y, fast integration
The Focal T3Y car speaker and subwoofer range is designed exclusively for Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y vehicles. Consequently, the four kits that make up the series are made-to-measure. For installation, these ultra-thin car speaker drivers require a recess depth of under 4cm. The two car subwoofers in the IW T3Y 200 kit are less than 9cm deep, and can be installed in the front doors of the vehicles. Last but not least, the different kits benefit from a rapid integration system and are easily connected via a dedicated connector.
An iconic French high-fidelity brand, Focal continues to offer exceptional sound to audiophile motorists. These car audio kits have all been developed in France, as was the Flax sandwich cone. The Focal IC T3Y 100 coaxial car speakers are priced at €315. The Focal ICC T3Y 100 and Focal IS T3Y 100 car speaker kits cost €179 and €365 respectively. Finally, the pair of Focal IW T3Y 200 car subwoofers is available from Son-Vidéo.com for €459.
