jerryray Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I have sucessfully installed a basslink subwoofer made by Infinity. I used the speaker outputs from the rear doors. The wires are located in the door jam. Sounds pretty good. I would have prefered using the front speaker outputs though, but they seem much more difficult to get to.

SzuChenEvo Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 jerry...do you know which wires exactly to splice? doesn't the infinity sub have a built-in amp? all i have is a sub now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryray Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Yes the infinity does have an amp. You will never have enough drive from the rear speaker outputs to drive a sub. The wires are in the middle of the connector there are 3 wires, one of them on the inside is +12v you don't want that.. the speaker output is the two wires on the outside of the connector. I can check the colors over the weekend if you still need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SzuChenEvo Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Jerry...if it's not too much trouble...please do check the colors for me. How was the install as far as routing the power lines from the battery? How/what path did you route the power lines? How you manage to cover up the power lines? Is there a place in the firewall to route the wires through? Where did you mount the sub? Did it take up a lot of space? Thanks so much!

jerryray Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Don't know the color of the wires until the weekend. Used the Accessory cigerette lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SzuChenEvo Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 the Accessory cigerette lighter is the hole in the firewall that you route the power lines through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryray Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Here is a picture of the connector located in the panel between the doors. http://www.jayceecomms.com/picts/04rx330.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastenator Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 jerryray, i also need to get to the rear speaker wires and appreciate your photo. however, i can't tell exactly where the photo was taken. is the wiring behind the lower panel between the doors? did you have to take the seat out to get the panel off? does it snap off easily? did you have to remove anything else to snap off the panel? thanks much.

rx300ski Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Nick, That sub looks awesome! Is that an Infiniti? How does it sound and would you recomend it? I also have an Integra and I am thinking about installing a sub in and this looks perfect. Where were did you run the speaker level leads from? I bet your system sounds incredible enjoy!

spaniola Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I had a local shop install it for me, they pulled the speaker leads from the rear door speakers. And then hooked a high level to low level rca convertor to it, they asked me if i wanted to spend a little more and get the better one, which i did, and it turned out great. The basslink has high level inputs alredy, but they told me it would be alot better, and they could hook up the remote turn on/off lead too. The model is the Infinity Basslink X, bought it at sounddomain.com, they price matched etronics who was out of stock, got it for around 236 shipped. 170 for the install, and they did my xm sat radio too. http://www.spaniola.com/lexus for more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
