Comparing Speaker Enclosures: Fruition Designs vs. Competitor
At Dreamedia, we’re passionate about delivering high-quality, safe, and innovative products to our customers. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Fruition Designs in-ceiling speaker enclosures, which we proudly distribute, and comparing them to a new competitor in the market. This comparison helps us ensure our product continues to set the industry standard.
Let’s dive into the details and see how these enclosures stack up.
Fruition Designs: Built for Quality and Safety
The Fruition Designs in-ceiling enclosures are engineered with precision and care. These enclosures are specifically designed to house Sonos Era 100 speakers (with models also available for Play One, SL, and other Sonos products). Here’s what makes them stand out:
Premium Build Quality
Each enclosure is made from durable, 3D-molded materials with solid dog legs that firmly secure the unit to the ceiling.
It includes integrated Romex connectors and UL-listed components, ensuring compliance with city safety codes.
Ease of Installation
The enclosure comes pre-wired with Wago connectors, making high-voltage setup seamless and safe.
A magnetic grille finishes the look, available in round or square options, offering a clean, professional aesthetic.
Fire Safety Features
The enclosure is fully sealed to prevent attic insulation or debris from entering, reducing fire risk.
All electrical connections are safely contained within a UL-listed box.
Made in the USA
Manufactured in Georgia, these enclosures support local businesses and uphold strict quality standards.
The Competitor: Falling Short on Key Standards
While the competitor’s enclosure is priced lower, the trade-offs are significant. After unboxing and evaluating the product, here’s where it falls short:
1. Build and Installation Challenges
The material feels flimsy, with multiple pieces prone to warping during installation.
The dog legs lack the durability needed for long-term stability, making the setup cumbersome and less reliable.
The enclosure’s design requires additional tools and steps, complicating the installation process.
2. Electrical Safety Concerns
The back of the enclosure is left open, allowing debris, insulation, or even pests to enter—a major fire hazard.
Unlike Fruition Designs, the competitor uses a standard extension cord instead of a proper Romex connection.
There is no UL certification, which means this product fails to meet essential safety requirements.
3. Aesthetic and Functional Issues
The speaker wire routing is poorly designed, leaving excess cable exposed.
The grille doesn’t sit flush due to improper alignment with the enclosure, resulting in a less polished look.
Why Fruition Designs is the Better Choice
When it comes to safety, functionality, and quality, Fruition Designs leads the way. At Dreamedia, we prioritize your home’s safety and aesthetic appeal, ensuring every product we recommend meets the highest standards.
Choosing a non-UL-listed product is a risk no homeowner should take. Fire hazards, electrical issues, and installation headaches are simply not worth the cost savings. Fruition Designs enclosures, with their superior engineering and compliance with safety codes, provide peace of mind and a professional finish.
