when i went shopping with my friend for his sound system he was set on getting Pioneer, i thought tht was a good idea too, respectable decent quality brand. We went to the shop and listend to the pioneer speakers and the clerk suggested we hear some fusion ones aswell seeing as they were on sale. I wasnt familiar with the brand so thought they were gunna be cheap and crappy ones. Shit was i wrong lol. They beat the pioneer speakers in clarity, depth of sound, pure volume and had wayyyy more bass. They werent that much more expensive but i would never even look at pioneer again. Fusion all the way for me ( on spoeakers anyway, head units are a different matter )
