Subwoofer Installation Instructions
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
WARNING
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vehicle's or vessel's power supply before
beginning to install this device.
CAUTION
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dBA
may cause permanent hearing loss. The volume is typically too
loud if you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit the
amount of time you listen at high volume. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system
installed by a professional installer to ensure optimum
performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go
to www.fusionentertainment.com for product support.
After installing the subwoofer, you should run the subwoofer at
low to medium volumes for the first few hours of use. This helps
to improve the overall sound by gradually loosening up the
moving components of the subwoofer, such as the cone, spider,
and surround
Tools Needed
• Electric drill
• Drill bit (size varies based on surface material)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Appropriate saw or utility knife to cut surface material
• 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) or larger speaker wire
• 6.3 mm female speaker spade connectors (recommended)
• 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) or larger wire for the LEDs (sports
models only)
• 4 mm male and female bullet connectors for the LED wires
(recommended, sports models only)
• Wire strippers (optional)
• Crimping tool (optional)
• Electrical tape (optional)
• Marine sealant (optional)
NOTE: For customized installations, additional tools and
materials may be needed.
Mounting Considerations
NOTICE
When mounting the subwoofer in an area exposed to weather or
water, you must mount the subwoofer on a vertical surface. If
you mount the subwoofer on a horizontal surface facing up,
water can gather in and around the subwoofer, causing damage
over time.
If you intend to mount the subwoofer outside the boat, you must
mount it in a location well above the waterline, where it is not
submerged or damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of
equipment. When mounted correctly, this subwoofer is rated for
protection from the front of the speaker. Water exposure and
damage to the rear of the subwoofer voids the warranty. This
includes situations when the subwoofer is mounted in a sealed
enclosure, especially if it is exposed to wash down. Using an
enclosure with a port or vent exposed to the outside
environment may allow water to collect and damage the
subwoofer.
You must turn off the audio system before making any
connections to the source unit, amplifier, or speakers. Failure to
do so could result in permanent damage to the audio system.
You should protect all terminals and connections from grounding
and from each other. Failure to do so could result in permanent
damage to the audio system and void the product warranty.
When selecting a mounting location for the subwoofer, observe
these considerations:
• You must select mounting locations that provide sufficient
clearance for the mounting depth of the subwoofer as
specified in the product specifications.
• You should select a flat mounting surface for the best seal.
• You should select a location where the surface material is
thick enough to support the weight of the subwoofer. It's
important to note that when in use, the subwoofer exerts a
pushing and pulling effect on the surface, so if the material is
thin, it can result in excess vibration and negatively affect the
sound quality.
• You should protect the speaker wires from sharp objects and
always use rubber grommets when wiring through panels.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should
not mount the subwoofer closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
Selecting the correct mounting location optimizes the
performance of the subwoofer. Fusion® speakers are designed
to perform in the widest possible range of mounting locations,
but the more you plan the installation, the better the speakers'
sound will be. For more information on subwoofer placement
and specifications, go to www.fusionentertainment.com.
Mounting the Subwoofer
Before mounting the subwoofer, you must choose a location
following the guidelines above.
1Route the speaker wires (and LED wires, if applicable) from
the source to the speaker location.
2Trim the template and make sure it fits in the selected
location.
3Orient the template so the Fusion logo is level.
4Secure the template to the selected location.
5Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along
the inside of the line on the template.
6Place the subwoofer in the cutout to test the fit.

7If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the cutout.
8After the subwoofer fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
mounting holes on the subwoofer line up with the pilot holes
on the template.
9If the mounting holes do not line up, mark the new hole
locations.
10Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
and screw type, drill the holes.
11Remove the template from the mounting surface.
12Connect the subwoofer wires while observing polarity
(Speaker Wiring, page 2).
13If necessary, connect the LED wires (LED Wiring, page 2).
14Place the subwoofer in the cutout.
15Secure the subwoofer to the mounting surface using the
included screws.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the screws, especially if the
mounting surface is not flat.
For the Classic model subwoofer, attach the grille to the front.
Speaker Wiring
When connecting the subwoofer to your amplifier, observe these
considerations.
• Speaker wire is not included with subwoofer. You should use
12 AWG (3.31 mm²) or larger speaker wire to connect the
subwoofer to the amplifier.
• The leads on the subwoofer are terminated using male spade
connectors. You should use 6.3 mm female spade
connectors (not included) to connect the speaker wire to the
leads for the best connection.
You can use these tables to identify the polarity of the leads on
the subwoofer.
Lead color Polarity
White Positive (+)
White with a black stripe Negative (-)
LED Wiring
It is recommended to install a Fusion CRGBW Wireless Remote
Control with these speakers to turn the LEDs on and off, change
the colors, and create lighting effects. See your Fusion dealer or
www.fusionentertainment.com for more information.
You should follow the instructions provided with the remote
control to connect the LED wires from the speakers to the
remote control receiver module and to connect the receiver
module to power.
If you choose not to install the remote control, you can set the
static color of the LEDs by connecting the colored LED wires
directly to the power source (Connecting the LED Wires,
page 2).
NOTE: LEDs are available only on the sports model.
Connecting the LED Wires
If you do not install the recommended remote control, you can
set the static color of the LEDs by connecting the colored LED
wires to the negative (-) terminal of a 12 Vdc power source. You
can splice the negative (-) wire to multiple LED wires to
customize the LED color and tone. You must connect the black
LED wire to the positive (+) terminal of the same power source
to complete the circuit.
The black wire on the LED cable is terminated with a 4 mm
female bullet connector, and the color wires are terminated with
4 mm male bullet connectors. You can connect these to 4 mm
bullet connectors on your wires (not included), or remove the
bullet connectors to connect to the bare wires instead.
You should use 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) or thicker wire to connect
the LEDs to the battery.
You must connect the positive (+) wire for all of the speaker
LEDs to a 3 A fuse near the power-source. You should also
connect the positive (+) power wire to the power source through
an isolator switch or circuit breaker to turn the LEDs on and off.
You can use the same isolator or circuit breaker controlling the
power supply to your stereo, which allows you to turn the LEDs
and the stereo on and off at the same time.
1Connect the black wire on the LED cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the power source .
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the speakers or the vessel, you must
connect this wire through a 3 A fuse near the power source.
2Connect the negative (-) wire from the same power source to
one or more colored wires on the LED cable according to the
preferred LED color.
NOTICE
You must insulate any unused LED wires to avoid causing a
short circuit.
