I have a Fusion FCW-1500 2000wrms 15" sub (a very surprisingly tight sub for its power and very out of sink with its lower range brothers) tuned to 45hz high passed at 36db at 40hz and low passed at 24db at 100hz to blend in nicely with my 8" diamonds up front ( at around 120hz the sub starts to drift away from the fronts to the back so its undetectable for me at 100hz ) and also the car has massive sound deadening six litres of brush on sound deadening and massive amounts of Wurth deadening, boot lid is solid and roof is bitumin based carpet tiles under the lining . I own four but I have two PG Cyclones in a 3cf box each running low passed at 36db at 50hz and down tuned to 20hz but seems to play flat down to 8 hz without letting go ? maybe due to it being tuned above its 11hz fs? I've got eight Fusion Jonah amps but have advertised them in the classifieds as I'm getting my own one offs made in Korea. It was to have 5000wrms on the 15" alone.

Has anyone had experence with these subs, or know of any in cars in Australia/NZ. There was a Commodore ute around with one years ago? anyone know what happened to it. The Cyclone was known for its very low distortion levels but was plaqued by machanical noise. But as long as you remove the magnetic dust out of the motor, replaced the little bearings and made sure the vane wasn't touching the vent ramps its undetectable!!! You now have a very weird bass sound as you normally don't get it this clean...

Has anyone done a similar set up breaking up the sub/infra freqs? (and yes I do know infrasonics are 20hz down) but anyhow I've not seen much done in this country with infrasonics. Yes most music is not recorded with freqs this low but if you get a lightening strike recording etc you bloody feel it all right.
It can bee anoying with some poor recordings as I've been able to here the airconditioners in the recording studio as they have a low freq hum (as was explained to me). Even still if you add a Audio Control Epic 160 etc with the epicenter it regenerates a lower bass line-alsome feeling of power to the music...

and heres a pic and breef description of the sub

as far as i know you are the first person on these forums that have any haha.

there has beena few threads about them but not alot of info unfortunaly..

Oh so that and with me having an Pioneer ODR make me an eccentric*old fart or just a fussy bugger lol. Anyhow is there any thoughts on my split sub setup?

well it looks good on paper. but as you would know unless you hear it's you cant really tell..

still would like to have a listen to one of these washing machine's i mean cyclone's

Washing machine...how insulting to a piece of genius equipment lol

If your up Gold Coast way give me a yell...

will do i like my weird gear!

it would prolly work really well but you would need to BP the fusions and Im guessing you would want some underlap at the xover points even with the steep slopes your using.
I have heard the cyclones and I beleive they DO reproduce the brown note lol
peace
Cyberpunky

You're a nut
post pics of the limo!

ARR what the FUUK I don't work there anymore... Ok I'm setting up my computer at my new home, will throw pics up to its current state. I'm not sure but sadly I think it may get scrapped :.( . I'll put in progress rides in the next week. lol.

Fusion FCW sub is bandpassed. HA HA HA the brown note for sure-but not on MY SEATS.

so i heard!
(Adrian took me out to dinner last night!)

man those washing machines are very old school

thats soo cool to have some

some nice old school zero point amps would be a nice match.

i used to have the review of these but i think i threw all my old car audio mags away.

lol
Did he try to F**k you up the A** like he did me...I don't like being ripped off $7500.00. So I'm a little anti at the mo. Anyhow court action is in the process. If you need to know more pm me, if not it doesn't matter.
Zeropoint amps = theses a couple at my work somewhere. Nicely made units those.

I reviewed these in CSA back in the day and, while novel, there was simply no getting around the problem of chuffing between the vane tips and the inner sides of the 'tub'. Due to the design this tiny air gap had to exist, and therefore had to leak.

Still, my hat is off to Larry Fredericks for designing it. Had beers with him once - could talk the ears of anyone.

You mean in the moments that you werent gassbagging?

If you ever get the chance,measure the response outdoors with it sitting on the ground in the current sub box,i want to see how they go without cabin gain vs cone drivers.

Reminds me of the servodrive pulley motor

Cheers!

Read that article top to toe, and was going to mention that article but meh, the creator beat me to it.

hey peeps... been a while since i posted, but meh!

i too have heard the cyclone. while it isn't my cup of tea in sub-bass reproduction, they DEFINATELY take out the award for wacky and cool. very very cool....

and i love my zpas. i'll be buried with them i swear.

ahhhhhh so this is yours? I thought it was Fusion's demo car? or were they just building it?
