I know you all like box subs and such in your Contiques, but all I'm looking for is a bit more bass. Don't really care for the thump and I need all the trunk space I presently have...

Car has Cerwin Vegas in the doors with 50W RMS pushin' them. Nice 'n clear 'n LOUD.

Maybe just an 'external' crossover? My amp has one that's built in/adjustable.

I sure like the idea of the Infinity... but not the Crutchfield price. [$399 US]

Whatcha think? ZZZ.

I toyed with this idea as well, you can find them much cheaper at www.thezeb.com or try www.yahoo.com and look under their auction listings. Should find it for under $275 shipped.

I called every store that infinity listed as dealers in the San Jose, CA area (a city of over 900,000). Nobody carried it so it was impossible to hear it before I bought it. Nobody had even heard it.

Good luck, if you buy one let me know how it sounds!

I'd go for it. Somebody in a recent post asked about it and could get it for 250 or so. Do a searchand you might be able to find out where. I like the idea that it has a passive radiator. I'm kind of partial to that style of sub enclosure. they are difficult ot make right but when they are made well, they are very difficult to beat.

that thing is cool. I love the idea of saving trunk space not to mention the weight of a sub enclosure. $259.31 at thezeb. Very tempting.

That's alright. You've come to the right place.

No matter if you buy a 12" woofer or a Basslink kit, you still need to run wires. The only thing you are saving are the box construction and possibly the amp choice and amp to driver wiring. There are some nice kits out now to help with installations.

For example one includes: (Copy and paste from product info)
Complete kit includes all the hardware and wire needed to install a high powered amplifier system in the trunk or back compartment of your car small SUV or jeep. Includes 16 ft. high quality low signal loss shielded RCA stereo patch cable, 20 ft. of red 8 ga. high current power cable, 4 ft. of black 8 ga. ground cable, 16 ft. of 18 ga. remote turn-on wire, 3 ft. of 1/4" split loom tubing to hide your wires, Water resistant in-line AGU fuseholder w/60 amp fuse, gold ring terminals for 8 ga. wire, red and black spade terminals, butt splices, six 4" cable ties, and detailed instructions. Perfect for amplifiers up to 400 watts.

All for only $18.
