hey guys and girls im looking at getting a full system for my vr and i was going to go with fusion throughout what do you guys think of fusion and are they good quality as theyre mid priced i figure they are an ok brand anyone have any info/demos even good models i could get thanks alot
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.
if u go for the higher lever fusion gear its good.. i had a 15 inch fusion powerplant sub the ones with the massive cushioning and 1 channel 1500W mono amp in my old vl and it hammered really well..
wrecking VL COMMODORE 5 speed
FOR SALE : supra 5 speed box suite holden v8 $800
thats what i was looking at actually its a 12 inch fusion sub powerplant with a monobloc 1000w amp installed for around 650 and possibly even the power plant speakers not sure if theyre any good though
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.
well i got fusion front splits and rear 3ways and im really happy with the set up. but as said at the end of the day its what sounds good to you.
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)
ok thanks for that guys i cant buy anything for about another month so when i have money i will get the front speakers then the rears and then the sub, another thing ive got a 50wx4 head unit will i be able to get decent sound out of it with aftermarket speakers while i save to get my sub and amps(i intend to get a 4channel amp for the speakers later on) thanks heaps
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.
amp and subs look good, system should crank!!
i got a set of fusion 6" splits here to go in the front aswell and need to pick up a set of 6" 3ways for the read doors still
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![]()

when ever i see BIG discounts on audio gear i think whats wrong?
gear sells itself usually..........
as i walked in to the shop the fusion guy was walking out they had just cracked a massive deal with them
well heres the start to the box
looks sweet matethose subs will crank in those box,s! are you going ported or sealed? imo i would port the subs into the back parcel shelf (use the factory speaker holes to port) then use a custom rear parcel shelf with new speaker mounts on the parcel shelf for your rears! but thats just me

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.
i have got
6.5" powerplants front
6" powerplants rear
12" powerplant sub
alpine headuint
response 800rms mono amp
sound awesome to me. pumps hard aye. and all the speakers r like 2 years old and still perfect. the sub is a little bit quieter, might be my box but im soon to make a new box.
yer it is and there is no issue with them at all sounds great
