how you like the sound of the basslink? what type of sound does it produce?

I might going with the same speaker setup as you either perfects inthe front or boston pro 60's in the front with kappas in the rear and the basslink or a jl w3 10"

I am used to big bass (two 10's in a big sealed box) and knew I would not get that & have a trunk.

This is a compromise that makes surprising amounts of bass. Nowhere near dual subs but enough to make it worthwhile seeing as I get to have a trunk.

I am happy with the way the system came out.

Hey. That is so sick.

I wish I had the audio know-how to do that because getting it installed at a shop would cost a grip of $$$.

I had my Infinity Kappa Pefects in the door and they are so F*N bright/metallic.

They sound like shit!

I had my system tuned and re-wired because I thought something was wrong with them.

Is there something I can do to tweak that? Crossover?

I am an audio noob and will have to take it back in to re-do because it is ridiculous.

So ill...it looks like it was built like that.

Is it any more difficult to see your Navi now?

Or no difference?

I am using OEM LCD for HVAC. The Kenwood is a Garmin NAV which is much better than the OEM.

you should play around with your head unit, go to the eq and tune it. if it doesn't have a built in crossover, youshould get one, it helps a whole lot.

How did you hook up the basslink? Does it go direct to the deck?

Yes the deck has Sub out RCAs. The Basslink will also accept line levels that will connect to all four channels if you want.

you have to tell us how you modified the dash to get an aftermarket double din up there.
and then did you modify a metra kit for the oem navi?
