Infinity basslink powered 8" subwoofer

[POINTMAN380]

I've recently upgraded all of my stock speakers with infinity and added sound mat. I'm highly impressed with the improvement but I can't help but want more. I got to looking around on crutchfield and found the Infinity basslink


Anybody have any experience with this or similar powered sub units? I'm not looking for teeth rattling bass, just enough to allow me to feel the rumble and deep bass when I want. I'm a country music guy, not much rap, but I'd like for people to know there is a sub there.

Would this give me what I want or leave me wanting more. I could probably have an amp, sub, and box professionally installed for about $400 more.

I've got the Rockville USS8, a similar type unit. It does the job you are asking. Nice deep bass, not teeth rattling, but I can feel it in my seat and also the outside mirrors are a jigglin'. You do hear bass notes you'd never hear without it. Definitely know there is a sub in the truck.

I would maybe look for another unit besides this Infinity since the user manual (available at the Amazon listing) says it's frequency response is 35 hz to 125 hz. You're going to want one that gets lower than 35 hz.

Also, make sure it will fit where you plan on installing it. Most like to put it under the seat--if it will fit. Whatever unit you decide to get, you might want to make a cardboard mock-up the same size as the subwoofer/amp unit just to be sure it will fit. I did this by cutting down a shipping box I got from an Amazon shipment to the appropriate size.

JL Audio makes some really nice powered sub enclosures. I’d check them out as JL makes some of the best subs out there.

Just saw they are coming out with the hs10 Hideaway. So what do you think of it, have you heard it yet???

 

[POINTMAN380]

I think I'm gonna pick up the new Kicker HS10 as soon as it's available at my local shop. Having never done any audio work other than plug and play door/dash speakers, I'll probably just pay to have them install it. Any idea what I should expect to pay for the install?

I paid $105 at Best Buy to have them install my Rockville powered sub.

Ok....ok......I can live with that. How do you like the smaller powered subs?

Did you have it mounted under a seat or on back wall??

 

[POINTMAN380]

I'm also interested in how it would work mounted to the back wall. There is plenty of space there but my fear is that the carpeted "pad" would vibrate too much.
