Rear 9" speaker
Did anyone replace the factory rear 9" speaker on the 99' TL? I've already hooked up an amp to it, but the bass isn't all that great comming from the Bose 9" speaker. So I was wondering what kind of speaker can I get to replace it without much modifications, cause I don't think there are any 9" aftermarker speakers that can be found. Thanks!

by replacing the headunit and adding a amp to the sub the bass improved 10 fold. the problem with the sub is its a free air sub, so finding one of those that will actually sound good is going to be hard. and finding one to fit in that location is even harder. teh torsion bars for the trunk lid are real close making it hard to fit a sub in that location. kicker maked a RMB8 free air that many have dropped in with a little gain in bass. your best bet is to put a sub in the trunk in a box if your looking for alot more bass

With the Infinity BassLink, did you guys shut off the rear 9" speaker?
Also, would putting in a 8" woofer in replace of the rear speaker be any good or a very bad idea?

If you're really adventurous, you can try what I'm doing. I'm in the process of replacing the factory 8" sub with 2 12's on the rear deck (cut out the rear deck and made a new one). I started posting some intial pictures HERE
If you absolutely don't want to do any modifying, then you are really limited to what you can do.

Forgot my last post. I found out it has a built in amp.
But does anyone have a picture of their Infinity Basslink installed? I jsut want a general idea on where should it be installed for maximum performance. Thanks!

I'll try to get a picture of it tonight. I put it just behind the rear seat pointing across the car width. Before I had it screwed into the floor it would slide into the back under the trunk and rattle the trunk. Not good.

Yea it would be great if you can get some pics up. Also since I currently have an amp installed pumping up my speakers and going to get the Infinity Basslink speaker, would there be a need for extra power source like a capacitor?

i replaced it with a Infinity Perfect 10 and a JL 250/1, kept everything else stock. sounds pretty good considering and has gotten lots of "sounds great" compliments so far...
no cap needed on mine, the lights never dim at all...
