    I think the general consensus is that Fusion are ok for a budget system, and are designed more for looks than sound.

    However, sound is a personal thing, and if it sounds good to you, then go for it.

    Don't limit your whole system to one brand. Have a listen to different brands and see what you like best. Unless of course you like all the fusion gear and can get a good deal that fits into a limited budget.

    fusion is fusion........... nothing amazing, just another brand to add to the pile.......
    i agree with JB, discounts can be had if you buy all at once.

    i have 2 12inch power plants running of a 1600 wrms jonah lomah d class amp and the bass is sweet! its not that loud out side of the car but its pretty damn good inside the car! imo When i was looking for car audio fusion appealed to me for the best bang for your back in its price range, but each to there own, & my advice is to stay away from fusions cheaper gear as you get what you pay for! also i cannot say enough about there warranty as i had my d class amp repaired for me when it fell out of its warranty by nearly a year! heres a pic of my amp, (looks a bit dirty this was before it went to fusion to be repaired)

    Definately mix and match your brands mate, there isnt one single company that produces every component with the same level of success.

    Fusion? I wouldnt touch anything of thiers other than the powerplant subs, and even then, only for SPL duties.

    Well am getting some new stezza gear, got a great deal on some stuff.

    2x Fusion 12", 1200watt dual voice coil, heavy duty Powerplant subs. PPSW12H (rrp $340each)
    1x Fusion 2channel 1000w amp. NVAM10002 (rrp $499)
    All up it came to $1180. But lucky me is only paying $550 that a big discount of $630.

    Now its time to draw up a custom boot design and get it made up only got 8 weeks till its all payed for.

    thats what i have set up in my vs mate, except with a 1500w option audio mono, i can guarantee you'll be happy with them as far as fusion go as a whole, i definetly recommend powerplant and i've heard the nv range is better...forget about encounter.

    Just for interest's sakes, I've got a couple of Fusion Powerplant 5*7s up the back of my VP. They're darn tootin' value for money. Love 'em. Even my Encounter sub + amp is good for the money I paid

    haven't decidie to seal or port yet but if they are ported the opening will come out behind them and into the space where the seat folds down.

    usually try to port of the same side as the driver. generally it will give the least cancelation.
