New member Username: TriangleBundaberg, Queensland Australia Post Number: 5 Registered: May-05 | I picked up this subwoofer on the cheap recently and have been looking around for comments and reviews on it, I can't find a single one outside of the Fusion website... Is this because Fusion is not worth talking about or am I just looking in the wrong places? Before I go spending excessive money on an amp to supply it with 800W RMS @ 2Ohm, I'd like some confidence in the merchandise... The following link describes it: http://www.fusioncaraudio.com/products.php?action=view&product_id=34 Cheers, Lenny |

somethingredicolousihavetomakeup Unregistered guest | it has aluminum voice coils....aluminum isnt the best for conductivity....think of what happened when they used aluminum house wiring for a lil while....most of those houses have burned down by now...i wouldnt spend the money on it |

Look at the stats. 1600 watts MAX, they don't even tell you the rms. A 500 oz magnet? That's retarted, nothing needs a magnet that big. |

New member Username: TriangleBundaberg, Queensland Australia Post Number: 6 Registered: May-05 | Harrison, it cost me AU$300, it was in a local show car for 2 months as one of a pair. They said it was worth AU$1200 new. Since I haven't been able to compare it from lack of available information, I don't know if I believe them. Long name, Black Alloy DVC voice coils, RF's beefcake sub http://www.cardomain.com/item/ROCP315D4 has aluminium voice coils... Banshee, I'm not a high turnover person, if I am wanting to get rid of it, it will prolly be because I broke it Joe, you are making me sad... BassMan, psychology is a cruel thing, I have sent a tech request to their servcice centre asking about reviews etc, I hope they come back with something useful. At least now there are a few views on the web even if they are from people who don't own them Thanks peeps |

I don't no how much $300 australian is in US bucks, but from looking at the specs that sub only has a 14mm Xmax. You don't need an inner tube for a surround with that type of excursion. It just needlessly reduces effective piston area which may be why that particular specification wasn't included. That being said it may sound just fine, but I wouldn't expect a lot of output for a 15 and would defintely try the ported route if going sealed proves anemic. -Fishy |
