Has anyone had any experience or have any opinions otherwise on these two powered subs? Blaupunkt THB210A
MTX X Thunderlink
The Blaupunkt is an 8" ported sub, and the MTX is a 10" passive radiator type sub. I'm looking to buy one of them to replace the Infinity Basslink that I had. The Basslink I had was great for the sound I needed, but it only lasted about 15months before the amp died, so I'm hesitant to go with Infinity again for reliability issues. The compact size and ease of installation are big pluses for me, so I really want to find the best compact powered sub that I can. Thanks much for any help/suggestions.

When I first saw this topic I actually thought of the Basslink as a good suggestion, just b/c of the 4ch amp you can add.
Since getting my Boston Acoustics G5 and GTR, i'm a huge fan of PR's.
IMO I would go with the MTX. I don't much care for Blaupunkt anyhow.

I have a friend of mine with the Thunderlink in his Mini Cooper .. He loves it, sounds great.
However, if you do want to upgrade the mids/highs in your ride, as previously stated the BassLink from Infinity is awesome with the capability of the 4-ch amp addition.

I did have the Basslink, and I did love the sound. But, it only lasted 15 months. At 3 months out of warranty, it died on me. I never abused it or overworked it at all. Now the servo led is constantly lit, and the unit will not respond at all. I worry about getting another Basslink since this one died so quickly. I already have an external amp anyway, so I'm not worried about upgrading anything but the sub. I've seen other posts on other forums about the Basslink going a little too quickly as well. That's why I'm looking hard at MTX now. Thank for the replies.

I work with a guy who has a basslink as well, and his died to, luckily his was still under warranty and he got it fixed. So yeah, I would agree on staying away from that again.
