Infinity Basslink is a Very Smart Design********************* August 28, 2010 Jesuslovesyou I have an basic alpine CDE 100 head unit sound very BORING. I installed the BASSLINK today, this is my first time installing a power subwoofer it very easy to install and sound AWSOME also a TRUE space saving for my 1990 nissan 300ZX. Thanks to Infinity
Basslink - Second Unit August 24, 2010 Dale in Tenn (Tennessee) Well, my first Basslink lasted 3 years. So why did I get another? Simple, it's such a simple installation and provides just the right amount of performance in my truck (and extended cab with the unit under the seat). I'll like get the original fixed and keep it as spare since these units are not noted for their reliability.
Given the above, if you want good sound, and easy install, and are limited on space, this is a good unit, not great (reliability), but good.
Makes the Boom, With Half the Room July 15, 2010 Jared Anderson 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been an Audio Enthusiast for quite a few years now. Weather it be the First tiny Rockford Fosgate 8-inch Sub with a homemade box of plywood I had in the beginning, to the Big Boomers I would use from competition. I still have a love for anything that makes great sound.
Recently, I had my old Larger system stolen, and I was looking for a quick fix of bass to keep me going in and out of traffic to work and back.
Infinity, as most of the higher ups know, used to be ULTRA SUPREME quality, and incredibly pricey. As of the recent years, they have decided to offer mid level items to the mass public to help build their name, and of course, make more business.
The Infinity Basslink is, in my opinion, their master brain child for that genre.
It is a solid 10" Woofer, with quality surround (for those of you that don't know, surround is the foam "surrounding" the woof, that allows it to travel back and forth) that can take a beating, and a great cone structure to actually push out multiple different types of bass frequencies at different speeds.
The Box is quite petite, yet still allows for some air to be moved around, allowing more of a boom, making this small package surprisingly impressive. The Exterior plastic cover, and the grill for the speaker itself are very firm, and can take a beating if needed (thought I hope you have it mounted).
The Amp is a 200-Watt Amp. I have nothing against it, it powers the sub to push adequate wattage to the speaker. But as a personal fan of higher end audio equipment, this is the only thing that bugged me, seeing as for the same size of the amp that is placed in the box, they could have put (for the same price) at least a 500-watt, or even higher, D-Class Amplifier (D Class is Digital for those of you out of the know, A and B classes are the normal ones, with large heat sinks, as you can see in the product picture, the "grill" on the right side)
Installation was quite possibly the easiest I have ever done. For me it was a bit easier, due to still have direct leads to my battery for power. But all you have to do for this beast, is plug in power, remote, and audio (from your stereo), and your ready to go. The customization is fairly well done, as the included built-on amp has pretty much all the mainstream toggles and settings that an average person would want to fool with.
I had this in a small commuter Honda Civic Hatchback. At first I placed in the rear, as to use the rear hatch to help the sound accumulate around the roof, to land right in my lap, and perfect listening area. Unfortunately it didn't throw the sound like I anticipated. So I placed the sub directly against the side/floor of the vehicle, allowing the reverberations to work its way through the interior (seats, and floor) and give me a rocking.
As per sound quality, it can handle it all with fairly precise hits. Rap Music with its heavy rolls, and Deep hits are pushed out well, creating a vibration sense when needed. Rock Music with its hard hits, and a quick jabs from some heavy metal testing, worked beyond belief. And a few bits of Electronic Music and Jazz, along with some classic rock allowed this subwoofer to truly impress me.
Over All, I highly recommend this sub woofer for anyone that is either looking for a small package to fit, and still get more form their music. Or from someone who hasn't had a sub woofer in their car, and doesn't want the hassle of buying multiple parts, running wires all over, blowing fuses like crazy, and with this box being so small, Its easier to conceal, so you don't run into many issues with those pesky car thieves.
I Give it 4 out of 5, due to the amp could be better. But for its price, and the quality you get out of it, there is none better.
Infinity Basslink June 7, 2010 djzoechick It's a great buy! As many have mentioned earlier, this speaker will compliment - not overpower - the rest of the sound in your car. It hits the low Hip-Hop/R&B bass notes I want to hear, as well as the tight beats of Trance/Techno. The remote sound control fit right underneath my deck. I got it installed at Ultimate Electronics - for a total of $300 (sub+professional install), this investment was worth every penny. I don't think I can go w/out a sub in my car again!
What a value! May 13, 2010 Brian K. Few (Greenville, SC) First, background on my musical tastes and electronics. I love sound and bass and usually will only have high grade electronics. However in my BMW 330 convertible there were not many options to upgrade the sub and since the car is still under warranty I did not want to void any of my future options, nor did I want to invest too much in case I want to trade as this is a pleasure car. I did the install in about two hours using the stock subwoofer speaker wires for input. I also mounted horizontally and secured only with bungees around feet to stabilize. The trunk is small and any permanent mount would affect access to spare tire, etc.
The ability to produce sound is impressive. I have it crossed at approximaetly 70 hz and the gain is on minimum and there is no bass boost. I did install the remote control and it has the ability to rattle the trunk. I have the remote runed to about 10 am and this is with top up. It seems to function extremely well to about 30hz and below that it is lacking. You are going to feel the thump in your chest but you will not get those visceral vibrations that you will get out of larger more powerful subs. That being said, I am still extremely pleased as I am yet to hear a stock radio except for an upgraded M6 with a 2000 dollar upgraded stereo sound better. I just cannot believe the difference that this sub has made in my system. I would recommend this product without reservation just realize that it does take up some usable trunk space. So if you are putting it there it is going to definitely make its presence known. For an suv, I think it would not be as consuming of space as there would be more options for mounting.
The basslink is definitely the economical way to upgrade your system unless you want reference levels of bass in your car and want to rattle your neighbor's house.
Oh, BTW, it was rattling plates on shelves inside our kitchen through the garage wall that has Icynene insulation that is amazingly sound deadening. So realize when I say it lacks some low end output, I am comparing to systems that cost thousands of dollars.
