Fusion Panel-Stereo spacer, surface mount, 43 mm

This is an accessory designed for surface-mounting FUSION Panel-Stereo stereo systems. It creates a 43 mm gap between the mounting surface and the stereo, allowing cable routing and providing a clean finish.

The spacer dimensions (width x height x depth) are 349 x 160.5 x 43 mm (13.74 x 6.32 x 1.69 inches).

The spacer weighs 257 g (9.1 oz).

The box contains the following items:

The mounting spacer

Eight stainless-steel self-tapping screws, size 6

Six black self-tapping screws M4

The cutout in the spacer is designed to allow stereo cables to pass either above the mounting surface or through a hole in that surface.

Yes, you can rotate the spacer by 180 degrees if you route the cables through a hole in the mounting surface. This allows you to conceal the spacer cut from below.

This spacer is specifically designed to be compatible with FUSION Panel-Stereo systems.

The spacer is specifically designed for FUSION Panel-Stereo systems. Compatibility with other marine stereo brands or models is not guaranteed.

For installing the spacer, you will need the following tools:

A power drill

A drill bit (size depends on the surface material)

A screwdriver

A saw or utility knife suitable for cutting the surface material

Marine sealant (optional)

You must use the eight silver screws supplied with the spacer or screws suitable for the thickness of your mounting surface. These screws are intended to secure the spacer to the surface.

To mount the stereo on the bracket, use the six black self-tapping M4 screws supplied with the mounting bracket. Do not use the screws supplied with the FUSION Panel-Stereo itself for this step.

No, do not apply any grease or lubricant to the screws when attaching the bracket to the mounting surface and the stereo to the bracket. Grease or other lubricants can damage the bracket and the stereo housing.

There are two main ways to route stereo cables:

Run them through the cutout in the bulkhead above the mounting surface.

Run them through a hole drilled in the mounting surface. If you choose this option, use a rubber grommet to protect the wires from sharp edges.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to have your audio system installed by a professional installer to ensure optimal performance.

Several safety precautions must be observed:

Disconnect the vehicle or boat’s power supply before starting installation.

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the other side of the surface.
