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.
ENCLOSURES All enclosures include port and subwoofer displacement. All ports are circle aero ports unless otherwise stated. Ported Enclosures: A ported enclosure is generally larger than a sealed enclosure Sealed Enclosures: A sealed enclosure will be the smallest enclosure you can build. It will have a tight low frequency response, but not as low as a ported enclosure.

Enclosures should be glued and screwed, because MDF is porous. FUSION recommends sealing the internal sides with a polyurethane sealer prior to installation. To accurately cut the subwoofer hole use the unique FUSION ruler guide included inside the FUSION Subwoofer packaging...

TROUBLE SHOOTING No sound from your subwoofer: Check amplifier and wiring connections. Distorted sound: Check the connections from amplifier, processor or head unit. Subwoofer makes unusual noise in sealed enclosure: The enclosure may have leaks causing a lack of back pressure. Remove the subwoofer and ensure the enclosure is completely sealed. Use sealer and polyurethane to do this.
