Sure....looks neat. They give away these real cool blow up aliens at shows. I have never used the product though.

Ah okay, I just got the packaging to become an authorized dealer on Fusion products. Not sure if I am going to go for it or not though.

To the best of my knowledge, it is cheap stuff with over rated claims on their amps and subs

Fusion is overrated. They're an image brand with all the bright colors and aliens and whatnot. I've had the comparison made to me of "3 year old Boss stuff". And Boss is not overly great.

Audiobahn I'm not too sure of. I've experimented with their subs. They play rap well, but that's about it. They get pretty loud and low. Their amps are apparently not bad. Again, I think they're more image/appearance than anything.

i will 2nd that on audiobahn, there amps deliver well for there price point, and the subs get loud and low but deff made for rap isnt as responsive as many of ur other subs. i have personally compared a 12" audiobahn that rmsed at 400 with a 12" elemental design kv2 and the audiobahn hit a little lower and harder but not much, but lacked in all other charactersistics

I live in a small town of about 15000, and the mass majority are ricers who only care about looks and loudness, so quality isn't 100% important. I would rather sell 5 Audiobahns a day instead of 1 JL every few days. Audiobahn and Fusion are probably the best market for this town, just never heard Fusion's quality. I will probably get ahold of my rep and see if I can hear some of their products.

Audiobahn is alot of show with a little go. For the price the product is worthy. If your clients are ricers you should have no problem selling Audiobahn to them. Stuff actually does work.

I worked for a company that was an authorized dealer for fusion. I was not impressed with any of their products, just generic stuff painted neon green. Their subs didn't impress me other lines were more affordable and sounded better. Their amps were also greatly overrated power wise. Better product lines to carry IMO. Audiobahn seemes like an ok market if you want the 16 yr old that only care about how cool it looks and if its loud. But their speakers sounsd like garbage if you ask me.

Forget Fusion, but because of the demographic, carry the full Audiobahn line. This will cause the ricers to get excited and you will have different price points to get them started. If they start entry level, but a ricer friend has the next model up, they will need to upgrade. So if you play your cards right, you may actually have the same customer buy entry level and higher level Audiobahn stuff. Don't forget customer service is the key.
