Infinity Basslink Subwoofer Install - Info & Pics
Before I sold my Firebird I pulled out my old Infinity Basslink subwoofer and finally got around to installing it in the Jeep today with some inspiration from MarcusRTJ and his writeup. Just though I'd share some info & pics for anyone who has been thinking the same thing.
This is where I decided to mount it:
I took some shelving board and cut about a 14" by 20" piece which I then slid under the carpet in the back. I place the subwoofer where I wanted it and secured it to the board with some wood screws.
Here you can see the wires entering and leaving the sub:
Since I have the Infinity system which came with a small subwoofer the only two wires I had to run to the front were the Remote and Power wires. The ground and RCA actually run to the back of the Jeep.
Where I tapped into the existing factory sub wires:
I threw out the universal plugs for my Basslink years ago, so I had to use a line level converter to tap into the existing sub wires. Was only about $25 bucks at Best Buy and tucks away nicely behind the carpet. You can also see where I ran my ground wire at the bottom of the picture.
Power and remote wire:
These pictures show where I ran my power wire through the firewall on the passenger side, right behind the side dash panel. You can also see the remote wire coming up from the floor which I ran across the top of the glovebox frame, over the center air vent and then tapped into the 'key' wire that turns on the cigarette lighter when the key is in the ignition.

Wider view of the finished thing so you can see where the old stock sub used to be:

The photos may have been removed since the post was from 2009. Ive noticed this on other older posts as well. I myself would like to see the pics too since im looking at adding the basslink to my system.

Anyone look at kicker hideaway subs? 8" subs only 3" tall. Fits under seats.
I'm trying with 10" mb quart marine sub. In current box with 10" adapter mod. Says it does fine on free air with minimal box? I'm out $50 if they suck.
