WARNING! Audio Systems can produce sound levels over 135dB. Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss!
watch for emergency vehicles as warning signals may not be heard. USE COMMON SENSE!
SUBWOOFER FEATURES
FUSION subwoofers are low frequency drivers capable of delivering extremely high bass levels from small enclosures. In order to achieve the maximum performance from your new FUSION Subwoofer, please use one of the recommended sized enclosures that best suits your application. Sealed and vented enclosure sizes can be found in this manual.
BASKET
PowerPlant Subwoofers feature a uniquely high pressure cast aluminium basket. Development of the PowerPlant basket allows rigidity and style for any custom install. Finished in a protective metal black paint and detailed with FUSION green enhancements, the basket displays impressive strength and style.
CONE ASSEMBLY
Development of the high performance pressed paper cone, creates a dynamic low bass response and high power performance. The cone is dimple pressed with PowerPlant super graphic, catering for style, strength and sound performance.
SPIDER
In order to keep the cone assembly balanced and linear, FUSION has used green poly cotton flat spiders to reduce the mechanical distortion for better sound quality.
VOICE COIL
PowerPlant Subwoofers use dual 4 ohm configuration. This allows a multitude of wiring combinations for your amplifier system (please see wiring configurations in this manual). PowerPlant Subwoofers utilise high temperature, multi wound black aluminium voice coils.
EXTENDED POLE PIECE
Recognising that an increased linear magnetic field for the subwoofer encourages a better low frequency response, FUSION has extended the internal pole piece to achieve this. The extended pole piece also decreases distortion.
MOTOR STRUCTURE
The motor structure is constructed from the highest strontium magnetic material and capped with an attractive FUSION back plate. This has enabled increased power handling and larger excursion. With the additional venting holes we assure consistently strong bass.
