 Love this sub! March 3, 2010
S. Debisingh
I installed this little sub in the hatch of my 2008 VW GTI.
It takes up very little space and it sounds great!
It's connected with my factory navi, and the bass is enough to rock the whole car.
Love it.
Does exactly what I hoped it would -- deliver the strong bass my factory speakers just couldn't February 19, 2010

The key to appreciating this product is to have realistic expectations. It will NOT rattle the windows of nearby houses. It will NOT notify everyone within 200 feet that you're listening to bumpin' tunes. It will NOT give your sound system "street cred" or whatever. (Do people still even use the phrase "street cred"? Eh -- I'm too old to care any more.) What it WILL do is deliver the clean, strong, deep bass that your factory speakers won't.
To be honest, I was pretty satisfied with the sound delivered by the factory Bose system in my car, at least at low speeds. The problem is I have an aftermarket exhaust that gets a little loud at high speeds, and when I turned up the stereo to try to overcome the exhaust, the speakers would start working a little too hard and the low frequencies would get too muddy.
That's where the Basslink steps in. By using the frequency filters on my head unit (both high-pass and low-pass) to cut out the lows from the factory speakers and send it all to the Basslink, I can now crank the stereo without overdriving the factory speakers; meanwhile the Basslink jacks out thumpin' bass without breaking a sweat at volumes that would cause the factory speakers to strain. Net result: much better and more filled-out sound at volumes high enough to overcome my annoyingly loud exhaust than I was able to achieve with the factory speakers alone.
And the best part is that it takes up less room in my trunk than two bottles of antifreeze. It's mounted upright and tucked away in a corner, barely even noticeable, and I still have about 95% of my trunk space. Plus there's no amp taking up extra space either -- the Basslink a complete unit, amp built in.
So if you need something to wake your neighbors up in the middle of the night thinking their roof is about to cave in, the Basslink won't work for you. But if you just want something that can punch out the low frequencies with extra authority to "fill out" your factory system, you will not be disappointed with this space-saving little bruiser.
 Don't recommend February 7, 2010

This thing was perfect in my Jeep. Sounds AWESOME while it worked. Had it in the Jeep for over a year, and like so many others, the amp blew. This makes the thing useless. You have to get the amp replaced (~$90 at a certified repair place) or bypass the internal amp with a different amp. Like I said sounded great when it worked. I have a Wrangler, so no trunk to penetrate, therefore I barely had it turned up ever. It was always set real low, and had a ton of bass.
For a throw away component, it is way overpriced.

This amplified subwoofer is is space saving & yet good bass for my Subaru Legacy Spec.B 2008. Highly recommended! Adjustable knob is helpful for those who want less/more bass for certain songs.
Incredible sound February 4, 2010
Thomas P. Gray (Los Angeles)
This SW is more than fine. Easy to install, sounds great, terrific value... I have no regrets about this unit, and if I have to buy another, this is the first one that I'll seek out. Bass is great, all the boom-boom I could ask for. Mounted in the trunk of a 06 Accord EX.
