I was thinking about the basslink my self and decided to call Crutchfield to see what they thought. The guy i talked to said he thought the Bazooka tubes were better. I never made up my mind so i never got anything.

!!! WARNING !!!

Do not buy this product !

I had this sub installed in the 2000 BMW 528i project car that is on http://www.XephyrPerformance.com . It is grossly underpowered, makes more things vibrate then actually provides bass. It gives a "popping" bass which I think is mostly because this is not a true isoberic enclosure. It does not have enough of a resonance chamber to provide deep rich bass, rather it sounds like a "hooptie". The 528i sounded horrible with it and I spent 2 hours making adjustments on the built-in amp's gain controls and on the factory head units install. It lasted a total of 4 hours before arrangements were made to ship it back. Be forwarned this is a poor product that does not deliver any level of quality I would pay money for...

I have had a set of bazookas in two of my previous cars, both sounded very good. A true, deep bass. Not gangsta-bumps or whale-gas. Pair a set up with a good amp and it should fill the gap in our sound systems. Just my experience....
