Infinity Basslink quality

Anyone heard, tested or owns an Infinity Basslink? I would like to hear some reviews/advice on anyone who knows about this sub. I currently have an Alpine 12" sub in original sub-box by ALpine but since the space used is so much, I am sidegrading (up or downgrading??) to this Infinity Basslink since I heard a few good words about its quality and small space usage. Hows's SQ and SPL? I am more interested in SQ. Any info would be appreciated. I might buy it tomorrow from Crutchfield if it is a good idea. Thanks. Mark

I would only buy the basslink if you feel the Type R sub has way too much volume for your tastes. Otherwise the Alpine Type R sub in the proper sealed box should have better SQ probobly.  Here is a review of the Basslink.

Thanks for the link on reviews. I think I will stay with my Type R and MRD500. Probably I need to tune/adjust the MRD500's gain + bypass filters and put back my sealed box in my trunk. Is there a good place on the internet or a cd that can be used to do the adjustments? My bass is too boomy and loud. I need to tune such that I put more preference on quality than quality. I heard of BassMechanik. Is there anything better?

Can you burn CD's?  I have used this Frequency Generator to make a CD of test tones.  It made setting crossover points and reading voltage really nice and easy.  I used the sine wave setting, made .wav files, then used the standard Roxio Easy CD Creator program to burn the disk.  Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I can burn CDs, DVDs and even my house! just kidding about the house. I had downloaded the trial of Freauency Generator a while before, so when I tried it last night, it says sorry you must register and not just re-install and that my trial is over. I should have made my CDs when I installed it first. Now I have to pay 49$ for the software, or reinstall Windows! Maybe I can install it on another computer and do my CDs before the evaluation period runs out this time.

Yeah, I had removed the program, and just for the heluvit I just now re-installed it.  It knew my number and wouldn't open.  I know I have to manually remove references from the registry, but I can't do that.  I would make a mess of this machine for sure!  Do it on your friend's computer, it is well worth it.Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Mark, I've installed a couple Basslink systems and they actually sound pretty good.  Above average SQ and surprising SPL for the size.  Not as good as your Alpine 12, most likely, but certainly a good compromise for the space savings.  I most recently put one in a '96 Neon and it was very nice sounding.Support the12volt.com

stevdard, you're absolutely right about removing references from the registry to fix that re-install problem for a second trial. I used to do such things before but now they are getting smarter and smarter. They hide their "counters" into very cryptic strings such as {AB832659C9F903DRE365} which is impossible for us to get on a search since we cannot know what strings/names they have hidden their keys as and at. However I know a way you can re-install without a problem. Before you install a trial version, you can keep an image of the registry and file structure and later, compare that to the new one and find the differences. I do that sometimes but did not do that for frequency generator!

DYohn, thanks for the info on the Basslink's. I am still in 2 minds. If I can get my ALpine Type R 12" working right, I want to keep it. I now have my Type R in the original horizontal ported box by Alpine which is huge. Occupies quite some space in my Toyota Highlander. I also have a "square" sealed box that was built for Infinity's 12" sub that I bought at Circuit city. They only had that one piece on the demo room shelf, so I asked them to remove their infinity sub and give me just the box. I think I am going to use that sealed one instead and stay with ALpines. Also I am thinking of building one myself to be "best" but don't know how to build one yet from scratch.
