Audio Assault, leading the way for the specialist enthusiast!
We don’t like to blow our own trumpet but sometimes you have to sit back and be proud of what you have achieved. We are pleased to take 5 minutes out of our usual day to pass on our thanks and appreciation to our customers for helping us get where we are today.
Audio Assaults reputation has grown incredibly well over the last 3 years. We started out as one stop shop for all your car audio needs and bit by bit became more specialist, picking up a great reputation and before long some of the best car audio brands in the world wanted us to stock their products. We guarantee that we was and still are the cheapest online retailer of car audio and we offer completely unrivaled technical support to our customers.
We now boast online exclusivity in the UK for brands such as Digital Designs, RE Audio, Audio System, SNG Audio and Image Dynamics - this means that no other retailer in the UK can sell these products online, this might not sound like a big deal but when you consider that these brands are literally as good as it gets in the world of Car Audio, its pretty impressive. We are proud of what we have achieved and pleased to have been given the opportunity to prove our reputation further with the acquisition of these brands.
The rest of our range isn’t too shabby either, we are official online resellers of MTX, Rockford Fosgate, Genesis, Focal, Diamond Audio, CDT Audio, Orion, Cerwin Vega, DLS, Ground Zero, Hifonics, JBL, Massive Audio & Morel to name a few! To put it mildly, our product range simply cannot be touched by any other retailer in the UK. Pair this with the fact that we also cannot be beaten on price and you have a winning formula for all our customers.
Fusion Subwoofers
are amongst the few car audio products that high street shoppers recognize as being reputable. The main reason for this is the incredible way that Fusion attacked the UK market with their strange marketing campaign. The thing is with marketing, it doesn’t matter how strange or outrageous your campaign is, it simply has to be memorable!
Fusion came onto the scene with a huge bang by throwing in 30,000 free blow up green aliens in the Christmas edition of the Fast Car magazine back in 1998. This worked so well that within weeks everybody who was anybody in the modified car scene had one blown up on their backseat wherever they went. Fusion were obviously delighted so decided to offer 30,000 more free blow up aliens, this time to the Max Power magazine. Fusion Subwoofers were really about to gain the reputation that got them where they are today.
Before long, orders were flying in for Fusion as they grew larger by the week. Within one year, they had a dealer in every city in the UK. Things couldn’t have worked out better for them.
Now that Fusion had the attention of its customer base, it was time to redevelop the products and ranges to improve on price and quality. They introduced even more Fusion Subwoofers in the form of bass packs and active amplified Fusion subwoofers. They called this the “Encounter” range.
About this time, Halford’s wanted to get involved. They realized the potential of the brand and decided to get on board. This provided customers the opportunity to get hold of Fusion Subwoofers easier than ever before. A few years later the internet shopping craze arrived, pioneered by Car Audio Plus (being one of the very first car audio retailers). This made it even easier still for customers to purchase Fusion products.
In the last few years Fusion went into a black hole and were largely unnoticed but now they are back and bigger than before. Car Audio Plus again is the place to go and the prices of the Fusion Subwoofers are outstanding.
The ranges have changed and holding up the entire range of products is the new and improved Encounter range, this is the budget range for people who simply want a little bit more bass for their car. Next is the middle of the range “Reactor” range. This provides a large power increase over the Encounter range but is slightly more expensive. Top of the list is the “Powerplant” range, these Fusion Subwoofers really are something to be in awe of. The Powerplant subs are extremely powerful and handle the power very well. Prices obviously increase over the Reactor range but the performance increase completely outweighs the price increase. These Powerplant subwoofers look like they have made their name for themselves already and their reputation is growing fast.
Fusion plan on another large marketing campaign within Fastcar and Max Power once again so you might see some blow up aliens back where they belong, on the back seat of modified cars! This time they might even be glow in the dark!

RE Audio new lines!
RE Audio’s reputation in the UK is growing by the week and everybody who is serious ar audio will know about their heritage. The US market is dominated by RE Audio along with one or two other brands.
They are working harder than ever to bring us what we want and what we seem to want is slim-line subs!
Slim subs are really becoming the "in" thing in the UKs modified scene. They are perfect for people who like light weight additions to their car so they can maintain performance while still adding a good depth of bass to their sound system. RE Audio have spotted this need and have jumped right in.
They plan on bringing the slim subs over to the UK in a month or so and sales are expected to be very high. They are to be made in 10" and 12" versions with a mounting depth of 3" and 3.5" respectively. They are available in dual 4 ohm voice coils only and both will handle 350w RMS. These are that slim that you can even run the 10" version in a 0.35 cubic foot box! THATS TINY!
SNG Audio Review
After alot of hype and coverage about the SNG Audio JT-12’s we needed to know just how good it was. Could it really be the best thing to happen to car audio for years? The reputation that it was gathering was immense and everybody must have thought "can it actually be THAT good?!". Well we have been finding out.
Audio Assault have been putting alot of time and effort into testing the SNG Audio JT-12 Subwoofer over the last 4 weeks and have changed many variables including the box, the amp amd the head unit. None of which made much difference to the overall conclusion… WHAT A CRACKING SUBWOOFER!
The SNG JT-12 is rated at 800w RMS and has two 4ohm Voice Coils. Running one subwoofer means that you will need an amp to run at 2ohms, running two is perfect for amps capable of running at 1ohm.
We set the rig up on the test car and popped the SNG into a box we had lying around (click me for video). We ran it at 2ohms from a Hifonics BXI-1206D. This amplifier would give it 900w RMS - 100w RMS more than suggested. Early tests were good. It took all the Hifonics could give, even when we tried sending it a highly clipped signal! The box was too small but you couldnt tell too much in listening (or so we thought until we changed the box). We then had a custom box built which was much larger than the original 1.8cu-ft box. This one was 2.5cu-ft - tuned to 35hz. BOY did it make a difference. This subwoofer came out and sounded simply stunning. It was very musical aswell, hitting all the notes even playing the kind of music our grandma’s listens to!
The next challenge was a power test! This one was going to be interesting. We swapped the amps over for the newer and large Hifonics BXI-1608D. This one gave it 1100w RMS.. It took every last bit of it as expected. The extra power didnt make too much difference to the output but you could certainly tell. Again, we gave it an extremely clipped signal and wacked the gain on high to see how much it could take… again, no problems.
The final test was a US Amps MD3D, an outstanding amp! Could it take the power? Of course! We were wrong to ever doubt it!
As a daily driver, this was simply outstanding! Pure streetbass bred with SQ, it could do both very well. My ears are still ringing now!

The Fusion CA-IP500 Continues to show the way
The worlds very first car stereo which has a built-in iPod dock INSIDE the actual stereo has been given even more recognition from reviewers around the world. The unit has already won many awards but added to the long list is an award from the UK’s most respected Modified Car Magazine… FastCar.
‘Trickest Headunit Of The Year’
The judges from Fast Car magazine, were impressed with not only the units unique iPod docking system, but also its looks, value for money and its feature packed specifications list.
One of the judges commented;
‘ Those crazy people at Fusion thought outside or the box, when they served up the worlds first internal iPod-dock head unit. You simply pull down the face plate of the unit to reveal the iPod compartment, allowing you to dock your iPod inside the unit. Trickier than David Blaine on a magic carpet.’
To win this catagory, when up against companies who have been estabilished in the headunit market for many years, is a great testament to the innovative thinking and design that Fusion have put into the unit.
Things are looking up for Fusion Car Audio and will continue to go from strength to strength. Next year will see some even bigger and better ideas so stay tuned.

Mutant review range and add new “serious” lines
We all know about the reputation that Mutant has. Its not rubbish stuff by no means but it struggles to be taken seriously sometimes when compared to some of the big boys of Car Audio & Entertainment. This lead the chaps at Mutant Audio to put some effort into trying to push their brand as far as possible using the same technology and the same budget. The result is astounding!
New for 2009 are a few lines in the Mutant Portfolio. First we have the new Mutant Conquest Subwoofers. These are designed to fight back against the big boys with style and substance. With an UNDER-rated 400w RMS, Mutant have gone in a different direction to the likes of Vibe who consistantly OVER-rate their products power handling. These are due in for testing soon and look impressive indeed.
Next on the list is the new Engage subs. Mutant still see a market for cheaper subwoofers so these are perfect for a budget buy. Good bang per buck.
Then we have the new range of amplifiers. Mutant Ascension. Good value, Great performance.
Mutant have worked hard on the latest wave of speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers and you can tell. All have good finishes and more importantly… Perform more than you would imagine

Kicker Pound into 2009 with new Classic range
Solo Classic takes a page straight outta KICKER legend, and ushers it into the future…
“All the bass. Half the space.” That’s how we billed it nearly 20 years ago when the Solo-Baric Subwoofer ruled the roadways. The concept was breakthrough – a subwoofer that actually worked as two woofers in an isobaric enclosure, therefore using a box nearly half the size of those for conventional woofers. Genuine, deep, loud… it was the real deal, without sacrificing storage space.
In 2009, the Solo Classic Subwoofer provides the deepest, most musical bass from the smallest areas, at the same time promoting valuable storage space in a vehicle. It is designed to be used solely with small, sealed enclosures and generates the most pressure allowable.
The Solo Classic takes its place among KICKER’s family of potent round subwoofers, borrowing the latest technology cues from its siblings while remaining true to its roots in utilizing a tiny enclosure. Its recommended sealed-enclosure designs provide the absolute lowest, smoothest response with increased energy at rock-bottom frequencies.
The Solo Classic’s detailed, accurate bass is a result of extreme air pressure from a small sealed box, just like its predecessor way back when. However, these days, the Solo Classic uses resilient SoloKon™ and high-temp, dual voice coils to withstand massive excursion and create punishing bass. Other recent lab developments include the T-cut top plate, polyimide voice-coil former, ventless solid-pole design, and Spiralead™ tinsel leads that result in supreme reliability. Stitched surround, stamped-steel basket, and spring-loaded terminals remain KICKER standards on the subwoofer checklist.
