At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team —
they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies
to help people make informed choices.

BassLink LC Remote Level Control
Inputs and Controls
Features
Design: The BassLink brings together a 10" subwoofer
(treated paper cone, foam surround), a 10" passive radiator (to increase
efficiency and limit distortion), and an extremely efficient, specially designed
200-watt Class D amplifier that work as an integrated system. Special circuitry
monitors voice coil position to maintain linearity at high power levels, so you
hear loud, clear bass.
Enclosure Type and Materials: The enclosure is made of an
acoustically inert polymer which is rigid enough to resist flexing and dampens
any resonance.
Servo-Control: The servo-control system continually monitors
the performance of the speaker and ensures that the amplifier delivers exactly
the right amount of power.
Class D Amplifier: This unit has a built-in 200 watt Class
D amplifier which is highly efficient and designed specifically for use with the
subwoofer and passive radiator combination.
Auto Turn-On Feature: When the speaker level inputs are used,
the system will automatically turn on and off with the radio. Note:
The auto turn-on feature does not operate when the preamp level inputs are used,
unless the remote turn-on lead is connected.
Low-Pass Crossover: The low-pass crossover frequency can be
varied from 50Hz to 120Hz for a seamless transition between the output of this
unit and that of the other speakers in the vehicle. The crossover has a slope of
12dB per octave.
Bass Boost: The amplifier includes a continuously adjustable
bass boost from -6 to +3dB centered at 40Hz.
Phase Switch: Allows you to select normal or reverse for best
bass.
Mounting: You will be able to put BassLink in a variety of
in-vehicle locations, thanks to its compact size and mounting feet that enable
the rigid polymer box to be mounted vertically or horizontally.
- Vertical Mounting Dimensions:
- Width: 14.625"
- Height: 13.375" (including
feet)
- Depth: 8.675" (10.076"
including feet)
- Horizontal Mounting Dimensions:
- Width: 14.625"
- Height: 9.5" (including
feet)
- Depth: 12.75" (15.1875"
including feet)
BassLink LC Remote Level Control
Overview: The BassLink LC allows you to adjust the volume of
BassLink powered subwoofer.
Installation: The BassLink LC may be mounted under the dash
or may be dismantled and mounted inside the dash for a factory appearance.
- Under-dash Mounting: Select a mounting
location that allows easy, safe access to the control while
driving. The BassLink LC has mounting "ears" to
use as a template for drilling pilot holes. Attach screws
through the "ears" to secure the BassLink LC to
the mounting surface.
- In-dash Mounting: Disassemble the
BassLink LC by removing the Phillips-head screws on the
front, rear, and top panels. Remove the bottom and side
panels and disengage the RJ11 connector from the back
panel. Choose a mounting location that allows easy, safe
access to the control, and provides 1-3/4" clearance
behind the mounting surface. Drill a 9/32" hole in
the mounting surface. Feed the BassLink LC's potentiometer
(with the knob removed) through the hold and use the nut
provided to hold the control in place.
- Connecting to BassLink: Route the cable
behind the dash or other interior panels and under the carpet.
Do not route the cable outside the vehicle. Connect the cable
on both ends.
Inputs and Controls
Inputs:
- Universal Interface: Front and rear,
left and right Universal interface speaker-level inputs
(for use with the supplied speaker-level input wiring
harnesses)
- Line Level RCA Inputs: Front and rear,
left and right female preamp level inputs
- +BATT (+12V): Gold-plated screw terminal,
0.350" wide
- REM (remote turn-on): Gold-plated screw
terminal, 0.350" wide
- GND (ground): Gold-plated screw terminal,
0.350" wide
- Fuse: There is an installed 20 Amp fuse
- Remote Gain Control: Phone type jack for
included remote gain control
Controls:
- Gain Control: Rotary control that sets
gain (variable from 250mV to 4V)
- Crossover Control: Rotary control that
sets the low-pass crossover point (variable from 50 to 120Hz)
- Bass Boost Control: Rotary control that
sets bass boost level (variable from -6 to +3dB, centered at
40Hz)
- Phase Switch: Selects normal or reverse
phase (0 or 180 degrees)
- Power LED: The power LED glows red when
the BassLink is on
- Servo LED: The Servo LED glows green
when the servo circuit has determined that the woofer has
reached maximum excursion and power to the woofer has been
modified to provide maximum performance. The LED should
light momentarily during high-level bass transients.
Note: Avoid adjustments that cause the
LED to remain lit for an extended period of time
