Hey guys, I recently got an Infinity Basslink II for my Supra.... got a KILLER deal on it! I've listened to both the original Basslink and (obviously) the Basslink II in my car. The II sounds 100X better than the original.... none of the muddy sound the original often produced (I'm not the only one who notced that either).
I've gotten it all wired in and have been going easy on it for a bit to break it in. I have yet to actually bolt it down though since I'm not 100% sure about placement.
Currently, I have it mounted facing vertically and sitting right behind the rear seats in the center of the cabin. Is this the best place for a sub in our cars? I'm having a little bit of a difficult time picturing how the air is going to be moving with the hatch and all.
I figured verticle was the best bet for me as I do still use my trunk on occassion and the sould is less likely to be disrupted by bags or luggage then. But should I leave it against the back seat or move it further back and perhaps put it on a wedge? To aim it more toward the ceiling above the passenger seats?

As for my personal opinion on it so far.... I've turned it up a couple times now and I find it to be VERY impressive. It also, surprisingly, fills in the gap left by the Kenwood's I replaced my 4 stock speakers with. I still intend on installing some 6.5" or even 5" speakers at some point, but it's not big on my priorities any more.
I'm not a big bass head, but it did even manage to impress two of my friends who are. Granted, they'd still prefer something along the lines of 3 12"s and a few thousand Watts of power. I was VERY surprised to find that my father (I used his garage when I installed it) actually heard the bass inside at the opposite end of his house.... it wasn't even turned up much at that point, I just had my windows open.
I listen to just about every type of music out there so responsiveness was a MAJOR factor in my deciding on a sub. This sub is very responsive, keeps up quite well with opera, industrial, rock, rap and taiko drums.:bigthumb:
Now, if you want my opinion on the original Basslink...... avoid it.
