Here's what I am thinking.... I like the basslink, but it seems to come with a pretty high cost, I'll try and take a picture of my current setup within the next couple of days. Maybe just get a single 10, and turn the gain way up, I currently have 2 10's and have the gain at like 1/4. I'm not crazy for bass, but without it in my car, It sounds like crap.

If these are done properly they are tight and loud. They take up as much or less room than the infinity basslink ( which is a steep above a bazooka tube).

I had a JL 13W7 shallow mount in my Tacoma running on an Arc audio XXK1500. It was entirely too much for a single cab.


Just my $.02 . I am not a pro but have had a car audio addiction for the last 15 years.
I will post up my install in my V70XC when I am finished.

It should be fun.
