Embrace the ultimate in power. The NV Series is the pinnacle of modern car audio. State of the art engineering ensures the most refined sound available is delivered at unparalleled levels. The NV Series represents the finest work FUSION has achieved; designed and manufactured to the highest level with no compromises.
The cone is finished in a dynamic silver with NV Series super graphic, catering for style, strength and sound performance. SPIDER In order to keep the cone assembly balanced and linear, FUSION has used green poly cotton flat spiders to reduce the mechanical distortion for better sound quality. VOICE COIL NV Series Subwoofers use dual ohm configuration.
ENCLOSURES All enclosures include port and subwoofer displacement. All ports are circle aero ports unless otherwise stated. Ported Enclosures: A ported enclosure is generally larger than a sealed enclosure Sealed Enclosures: A sealed enclosure will be the smallest enclosure you can build. It will have a tight low frequency response, but not as low as a ported enclosure.

Enclosures should be glued and screwed, because MDF is porous. FUSION recommends sealing the internal sides with a polyurethane sealer prior to installation. To accurately cut the subwoofer hole use the unique FUSION ruler guide included inside the FUSION Subwoofer packaging.

SERIES AND PARALLEL SUBWOOFER WIRING FOR DUAL VOICE COIL SUBS Parallel Voice Coil Wiring (1 Ohm operation) To wire a DVC subwoofer in parallel (to get 1 Ohm), use two short pieces of speaker wire and link the positive from one coil to the positive of the second coil, and do the same for the negative as shown in fig 1.

TROUBLE SHOOTING No sound from your subwoofer: Check amplifier and wiring connections. Distorted sound: Check the connections from amplifier, processor or head unit. Subwoofer makes unusual noise in sealed enclosure: The enclosure may have leaks causing a lack of back pressure. Remove the subwoofer and ensure the enclosure is completely sealed, use sealer and polyurethane to do this.
