After installing a new head unit and upgraded speakers, I found the improvement over the factory stereo to be very worthwhile. But I soon realized I was missing something: Bottom End. The tweeters and midranges are great but without solid bass, it just wasn't complete. My home system has a full range of sound, and the bass is so solid you can feel it. I needed this in the Jeep!
Asking around, I learned that enclosed, self-powered subwoofers are a good choice for Jeeps because of the space-savings. One name kept coming up Infinity Basslink.
This item fits in the small area behind the rear seat of a Jeep Wrangler with no trouble even if you have the Add-A-Trunk. It is easy to run the power and speaker leads back to the unit and tie them into the main stereo. Of course you can have a technician do it but if you can wire your home stereo, this is the same deal.
I installed mine with a little extra wire in case I need to move it higher when crossing streams.
Sound? This thing KICKS! It is tight, accurate, and gives that extra bottom-end I was looking for. Get this you will have no regrets!

These days it's such a great thing to get a product and it exceeds your expectations, this is one of them.What a workhorse this product is and takes up such a small area (about 1 square foot)
It kicks out so much bass, it's amazing, unless you want to rattle the car next to you, this is the sub you need
I listen to everything from the beatles to broadway to dance music, sounds incredible, plenty of settings so you can fine tune it.
ENJOY

I have a honda S2000 2 seater convertible and so space is a major issue. The tech that was about to install the unit warned me not to get my hopes too high as the trunk mounting was going to limit the response and that convertibles are difficult to add bass too. I told him to go ahead and we'd see, 2 hours later when I picked it up we were both pleasantly suprised. The sound is kicking! If anything it's way more power than I need. I am running 2 componant infinity speakers in the front run on a 2 channel amp and an alpine headunit. I'm very pleased with the results, you will not regret buying this item!Honest reviews on Infinity Basslink 200-Watt, Dual 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer System
As with most other reviews I found this sub to an impressive little guy. It is built well on the outside, it comes with multiple mounts for horizontal or vertical mounting and the remote db gain is nice. After a good bit of research like others, I decided this was the one for my needs. Again like most I was looking to fill out the lows not anger the neighbors. I am past that now just as the need for huge bass. Now for the truth. Most reviews are shortly after the purchase with the exception of the last post. Which I might add that I am happy for him and his speaker's longevity. I however cannot make that statement. Let me start by saying I take care not to abuse electronics or motors, it's kind of weird but if you are taking the time to read these reviews I think you understand. It seemed that the day my warranty expired so did my trusty sub. So off to contacting Infinity. Well good luck with that. I thought there were synonymous with great customer service, you know being in Lexus's and all that. Well that just is not true. I can't tell you how poorly I was treated. Really it was just lack of any treatment really. I am in the market for a new one now and it won't be basslink.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Infinity Basslink 200-Watt, Dual 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer System
I've held off for two years before posting this review, because I noticed several peoples' concerns about reliability, so I'll address that first. I think the reliability issue depends on what you want the unit to do. It will NOT work as the mating call of the testosterone-enhanced teenager, turning your car into a "boomer", but if you keep it to "reasonable" levels meaning that pursuing police sirens would go unnoticed, your mirrors would shake and conversation in the vehicle would become difficult but not completely impossible it seems to be completely reliable.(I sound like an ancient curmudgeon, but I actually love "boomers" and have found that it's trivially-easy to get an invitation into one to experience the skin-tingling rush from the inside: just express interest, is all :-)
In terms of reliability, the thing to do is to crank your stereo as loud as you would ever normally crank it (try it with windows open and closed), then go look at the "clipping" light on the subwoofer: if it is lit or blinking, then you are asking it for more than it can give, and reliability will be poor.
The next thing I'll address is that no car stereo installation shops stock this unit or have anything good to say about it. Think about it: with something this self-contained, and this easy to install, why would they? To get this amount of performance out of a custom-built and professionally-installed sub would cost two or three times what Amazon is asking here.
Installation, except for running a (fused, please!) heavy wire directly from the battery, and running the signal wires from your head unit, is trivial. Infinity provides a control module that you'd need to wire back to the driver's seat, but any head unit worth its salt these days (mine is a $200 Pioneer) can control all aspects (volume, phase...) of the sub right in the head unit, so that should not be needed. I had trouble finding a good drilling point through the firewall, so I had Car Toys run the wires for me they won't praise the subwoofer, but they were happy to take my $70 and run the wires. (Besides, they'd just taken $1000 of my money for a couple of Focal Polyglass 165 VR 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component Speaker Kit.)
Given that it comes from Infinity, which makes good-quality speakers, and that the speakers, enclosure and internal amp are specifically designed for each other, the quality (and the all-important depth) of the bass output is excellent. The only real gripe I have is that the mounting is not designed for quick release, for those few occasions when you need the little extra space it takes up, but that can be fixed with a few dollars in hardware and a little ingenuity.
One last suggestion from this cheap Scottish curmudgeon: It turns out that more people buy this unit than get around to installing it, so it might pay to troll Craigslist for a couple of days to perhaps find a "brand-new, never installed" one. I'm not saying that's what I did...
