subwoofer

[Guest]

i was wondering how you guys felt about the infinity basslink subwoofer. do you think it would be powerful enough? i don't want any headaches just some additional low end to add to the jbl system. its also only about 200 which is pretty cheap compared to a box, sub and amp setup.
thanks

i heard the infinity kapaa's are good, but i haven't heard of that particular brand you have there.

also, psst! this is in the wrong section....

I've heard the basslink and its got phenominal bass for a self amped sub. I used to have a bazooka tube and i was very unhappy with it. I heard the basslink and i almost bought one right on the spot. Eventually i got 2 infinity perfects which pound even harder but still. The nice thing is the basslink is inexpensive and its a full kit, amp and sub. You have to remember that the solara is a big car with a big trunk so its hard to get really good bass but the basslink provided clean deep bass like all infinity products. If you have the money and the space go for the 2 10" but if not this is a great choice

Never heard the basslink, but Infinity is top notch equipment as a rule. I've never heard a poor sounding Infinity product yet. I'd go for it.

i was thinking of getting the basslink too. its got really good reviews, but now im saving up money for the 12" perfects w/ monoamp cuz im thinking, why not just spend another 200 and have a cleaner setup. the basslink looks a little too fancy IMO.

My thoughts exactly Get the JBL BP600.1. Its an amazing amp. JBL and Infinity are owned by harmon kardon, maybe that is part of the reason why they sound so good together but they're a perfect fit. Run it in 2 ohm and you got one hell of a setup. My 10" pound like you can't believe.

JL's are the bomb...I haven't had any problems with mine. Oh, but if you don't mind spending the $$$ I heard Digital Design's are suppose to be really good

better off getting a seprate sub amp and box than a self amped system...
if it's space you're worried about, you can always get an 8 or a 10 w/small box requirements. a cdt audio minibox 8 or 10 would do the job

not sure, but i was under the impression dd subs are mainly for spl-- like shocker
companies that rival JL? well there are a bunch, but you can save a few bucks w/image dynamics (best customer service around as well)

hey pro956, have u ever actualy heard the infinity basslink or are you just assuming that because it is self amplified that it is not as good as a box, amp, sub setup? i would think that with a 200 watt rms amp the basslink should be pretty good. i really don't even want anything that can get so loud without distorting that you can hear it from a block away even with the windows down (even tho i think the basslink would do that when the windows are down).

i've heard basslink's twice, most recently at a friends shop in an accord (i think a '98). the basslink is the best in car self amplified system i've heard-- but it doesn't come close to a proper box/amp/sub setup
from your 1st post i knew you weren't looking for something boomy that's why i brought up the cdt audio minibox 8 (100w rms) or 10 (150w rms)

they're sq subs-- not boomy at all

what kinda budget are you on?

[indiglosolara]

i never personally heard of those. but a great setup will also be the JBL 600.1 mono amp that everyone in this forum has talked about. im currently running the JBL 600.1 amp and 2 12" crystal CSE 12.4 Dual voice coil. and they hit hard. wired the subs to run at 1ohm and they get massive power fromt he amp. this set up cost me under $500.00 u can view the subs reviews on www.sounddomain.com. this is what i would suggest. u can look at my system setup but goin to me website at the bottm. jus click on the link. will post pic soon.

Is the stock head unit good? How about the speakers? Are you planning on adding the basslink to the original head unit, or is it aftermarket?

[Guest]

just to the original head unit, unless i can find a double din that goes well with the interior.
