Looks pretty much like a SWS, from the freq response. Wish they'd make a midbass. Still, curious to hear anyone's firsthand experience as well.

Considering that Focal itself does not list those woofers as for F30 fitment then I doubt that you will find any F30 installs any time soon...

I got it installed under my seat, will need some mod and force to squeeze it in.

Of course they require modifications and forcing them to fit... they are not for the F30.

Yeah I didn't know it is not suppose for F30 until I brought it and shipped to my door.

Hence I did it by force and fit it into the box. The plug is not exactly fit, but I shave the plastic off and plug it in, and it works!

I do, but unfortunately I do not ship to Hong Kong... a case of too missing packages.

What's the rest of your build? Are they amplified with an aftermarket amp? Upgraded separates?

How to they sound?

I got the Focal IFBMW-S at the front, it is much better than the original speakers, and I would highly recommend it if you want a easy upgrade.

I haven't upgrade the aftermarket amp yet, that is why I'm asking technic for the harness.
