8
After the subwoofer fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
mounting holes on the subwoofer line up with the pilot holes
on the template.
9
If the mounting holes do not line up, mark the new hole
locations.
10
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
and screw type, drill the holes.
11
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
12
Connect the subwoofer wires while observing polarity
(Speaker Wiring, page 2).
13
If necessary, connect the LED wires to the Sports model
subwoofer (LED Wiring, page 2).
14
Place the subwoofer in the cutout.
15
Secure 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 stereo or amplifier,
observe these considerations.
• Speaker wire is not included with subwoofer. You should use
16 AWG (1.31 mm²) or larger speaker wire to connect the
subwoofer to the stereo or amplifier.
• The leads on the subwoofer are terminated using male spade
connectors. You should use 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 and spade-
connector sizes of the leads on the subwoofer.
Lead color Polarity Spade connector size
White Positive (+) 6.3 mm
White with a black stripe Negative (-) 4.8 mm
LED Wiring
Connecting the LED Wires
You can control the 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
12 VDC power source to complete the circuit.
NOTE: This feature is available only on the sports model.
NOTE: Instead of connecting the LED wires for one dedicated
color, you can install a remote control to turn the LEDs on and
off, change the color, and create lighting effects. See your
FUSION dealer or www.fusionentertainment.com for more
information.
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.
1
Connect the positive (+) wire from a 12 VDC power source to
the black wire on the LED cable.
2
Connect the negative (-) wire from the same 12 VDC power
source to the colored wire or wires on the LED cable
according to the preferred LED color.
LED Color LED Wire Color
Red Red
Green Green
Blue Blue
Yellow Red and green
Magenta Red and blue
Cyan Blue and green
Cool white Turquoise
Warm white Yellow
NOTE: You can connect the cool white or warm white wire to
change the tone of any LED color combination.
3
If necessary , route the positive and negative wires, and
connect them to a 12 VDC power source (Connecting the
LED Wires to Power, page 2).
Connecting the LED Wires to Power
NOTE: This feature is available on only the sports model.
You must connect all 12 Vdc wiring to the LEDs to a 3 A fuse at
the power-source end of the cable. You should connect the
positive (+) power wire to a 12 Vdc 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.
You should use 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) or thicker wire to connect
the LEDs to the battery.
1
Route the positive power (+) and negative ground (-) wires
from the LED-wire connections to the battery.
2
Connect the negative wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3
Connect the positive wire to the positive (+) terminal through
a 3 A fuse and isolator switch or circuit breaker.
Attaching the grille to the Classic Model Subwoofer
NOTE: This feature is available only on the Classic model
subwoofer.
1
With the subwoofer mounted, hold the grille with the FUSION
logo at the bottom, at the 6 o'clock position.
2
Turn the grille counter-clockwise about 10°, so the FUSION
logo is at the 5 o'clock position.
3
Place the grille on the rim of the subwoofer.
4
Twist the grille clockwise to secure it.
