FUSION Receives Glowing Customer Testimonial

Chris Johnson — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 02:26:24 GMT

26 Jun 08 FUSION Australia recently received this fantastic customer testimonial from satisfied customer John Dusting in relation to his Marine 4 Channel Amplifier (FM504) To FUSION Marine Team, I am writing to express my absolute satisfaction in the Fusion Marine FM504 four channel amplifier. The unit has an extremely high output, which is easily heard over the inboard diesel engine, without stretching to the limits of its capability. The sound is crisp with very high fidelity and a pleasure to listen to when coupled with the fusion 6.5' speakers. What I am most impressed with is the physical integrity and the quality of the materials used in this unit. Due to the sale of my yacht, I have just removed the amplifier, which I was expecting to be badly corroded because of the harsh salty and moist environment that it has been living in for the last 2 years. I was most surprised to find that the unit looked the same as when it was taken from its packaging. The stainless steel chassis did not have a single blemish or 'tea stain' but was still super shiny. The glossy white coating on the remainder of the exterior was of...

Kicker: Ten-Thousand-Watt Amp Now Available At Your Nearest Dealer

Chris Johnson — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:42:42 GMT

KICKER's much-anticipated 10,000-watt amplifier, known as the Warhorse, is now shipping and hitting the streets at an authorized dealer near you. The WX10000.1 Signal-Modulated Subwoofer Amplifier is a massive marvel - more than 10,000 true watts surging to dual-voice-coil subs with the highest power-handling capabilities. Recommended for use with SoloX Subwoofers, the Warhorse easily summons enough juice to be dangerous, so a complete understanding of the owner's manual is vital prior to installation. At the same time, the Warhorse revolutionizes traditional amplification with its signal-modulated, ultra-high-efficiency design. What does it all mean? It means efficiency ratings unheard of in mobile audio - 90-percent efficiency at a 2-ohm load at full power! It's also an award-winner. Earlier this year, the Warhorse earned the CEA Innovations Award for Design and Engineering at the International Consumer Electronics Show. Yep, it's that good.

SoundStream Little Wonder III

Chris Johnson — Mon, 26 May 2008 17:25:28 GMT

It's all new, awesome, and Soundstream at its finest! The entire Little Wonder III line-up of amplifiers has been revised from inside out. From the sleek and stylish new chassis to the cleaner, more stable guts, the new LWIII amplifiers are sure to impress all who look and listen... On the inside, many improvements have been engineered to give a higher quality listening experience. The updated circuitry yields lower distortion (THD) for overall cleaner output. The gain management stages have been altered to produce a higher Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) with lower noise floor. While these are two of the biggest factors in making high quality amplifiers, the all new circuitry also raises the damping factor for better control, higher input impedance to avoid overworking your source unit which reduces level and lowers distortion even further. All of the new amplifiers are 10%-15% more efficient due the more intelligent power supply! This results in less current draw from your battery and less heat to dissipate via the heat sink chassis. Turn-On and Turn-Off pops are reduced due proper sequencing during start-up and shut-down. The crossover section is greatly improved for versatility and maintaining uniform slopes at all frequencies. The...
