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.
