Marine amplifier MS-AP12000

The Fusion MS-AP12000 is a marine Class D monoblock amplifier specifically designed for dedicated subwoofer audio performance. It is engineered to integrate with the Fusion Apollo marine entertainment system.

The Fusion MS-AP12000 marine monoblock amplifier delivers 650 watts RMS output power.

This amplifier is specifically designed for dedicated subwoofer audio performance. As a monoblock amplifier, it is optimized to power a single channel, ideally a subwoofer.

The main features of the Fusion MS-AP12000 include:

Marine monoblock amplifier. Class D for high efficiency. Optimized for subwoofers. Designed to integrate with Fusion Apollo marine entertainment systems compatible with DSP. Output power of 650 watts RMS.

This device is designed for installation only in a dry location. Installing it where it could be exposed to more than occasional water droplets or be submerged may result in damage. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.

The Fusion MS-AP12000 is a Class D amplifier.

For the installation of the MS-AP12000 amplifier, you will need the following tools:

A 40 A inline fuse or circuit breaker. A drill and a 3 mm (1/8 in) bit (or a suitable bit for your mounting hardware and mounting surface). Flathead screwdrivers (5 mm, 4 mm, 3 mm) and Phillips screwdrivers (#2, #0). Wire cutters and wire strippers. Tinned marine-grade wires of various gauges (4 AWG for power/ground, 12 AWG for high-power speakers/subwoofers, 20 AWG for remote turn-on signal), as well as RCA cables. Cable ties (optional).

A 40 A inline fuse or circuit breaker is required on the positive wire from the power source to the amplifier. It must be installed as close as possible to the power source.

When choosing the mounting location, consider the following points:

The amplifier must be mounted in a location that does not interfere with the fuel tank or electrical wiring. It must be mounted in a place not exposed to water, fuel, or fuel vapors. Choose a well-ventilated location, not subject to extreme temperatures or conditions. If installation is in an enclosed space, a cooling fan with appropriate ducts is recommended. Mount the amplifier so that cable connections are easy to access. Maintain a specified distance from a magnetic compass to avoid interference. Avoid mounting it near other critical navigation equipment, antennas, or radio communication devices.

No, you must not mount this device upside down on the underside of a horizontal mounting surface. Mounting the device in an inverted orientation reduces heat dissipation efficiency and may cause shutdown due to thermal protection.

To connect the amplifier:

Use RCA cables of appropriate length to connect the stereo system to the amplifier. Avoid running RCA cables alongside power cables to prevent interference. Connect the REM terminal of the amplifier to the AMPLIFIER ON wire of the connected stereo system or to a constant 12 VDC power source via a switch. Ensure all terminals and connections are protected from contact with other conductive materials.

Yes, it is imperative to disconnect the boat's audio system power supply before making any connection to the amplifier. Failure to follow this instruction could damage the amplifier or the audio system.

After installing the amplifier, you must configure your stereo system connected to it using the Fusion-Link™ app to select and activate the correct DSP profile.

For high-power speakers or subwoofers using the high-power adapter (bridged mode), it is recommended to use a marine-grade tinned copper wire of 12 AWG (3 to 4 mm²). For long distances, a larger diameter wire (smaller gauge number) may be required.

No, you must not use this amplifier with third-party marine audio systems. This amplifier is compatible only with Fusion marine audio equipment that supports DSP and may damage third-party speakers due to its output power.

The MS-AP12000 amplifier is compatible only with Fusion marine audio equipment that supports DSP (Digital Signal Processing), such as those in the Fusion Apollo range.

The Fusion Marine MS-AP12000 amplifier is covered by a limited 3-year warranty for marine consumers, starting from the date of purchase of the product.

The limited warranty may be voided if the product has been subjected to:

Abnormal use, abnormal conditions, or improper storage.
Unauthorized modifications, connections, or repairs (including the use of unauthorized spare parts).
Misuse, negligence, abuse, accident, alteration, or incorrect installation.
Natural disasters, liquid spills, or incorrect adjustments of controls by the customer.
The accessory’s serial number or date code has been removed, defaced, or altered.
The product was used with an accessory not supplied by Fusion or unsuitable, or used in a manner other than its intended use.

The amplifier is supplied with a mounting bracket, screws (pan head for the bracket, countersunk head for direct mounting) and screw caps (optional) for the four holes on the top of the amplifier.
