Installing the BavAuto Infinity BassLink :) - United Bimmer Community

**BaLAnCe17** · 03-16-2006, 05:32 PM

Back in the day when I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy the $350 bavauto basslink, I am now certain my purchase was the right choice. Before Christmas I bought it and now I'm going to do a little DIY and Review. IF YOU WANT THAT EXTRA BASS FILL, BUY THIS!!! The bass comes no where near my old two 10'' 800watt subs in the jeep. However, this is the perfect filler and doesn’t take up too much space.

First, start out with the unit...

Open your trunk and find the BMW factory amp. Take off the left tail light cover and pull the "carpet" down and you will see the amp. Unplug the factory harness, and plug the Basslink harness into the factory amp.

After that, plug the factory amp harness into the other end of the basslink harness.

After you get all of that goodness finished with

, turn the sub around and plug in 2-3 things, the bassboost adjuster, and the "main wires"...it’s that easy

Mount it with the mounting screws if you choose,

(I didn’t mount mine in the center of the trunk, don’t worry :P)

Wire up the bassboost controller to the front,

YOU ARE DONE!!! Turn on the car and enjoy the extra bass.

Cool write-up! Mind resizing the pictures a bit smaller, and I'll add it to the kbase.

You know you can hide that extra wire... that panel underneath the steering wheel comes off fairly easily

I used to do that too, but I realized that I never got around to it again

So I stopped doing that, and always finish the job right away. That thing takes up a lot of room; can it mount to the decklid? Nice work, BTW!

Hmmm, looks similar to mine. I have the Infinity Basslink T which is one 10" sub and two 10" passive radiators. Mine is a much slimmer design though. For a quick install I just threw it in the trunk and hooked it up. However I do intend to mount it to the top of the trunk. Not on the deck lid, but drilled to the metal above in 2'nd pic under the rear seat latches. This thing sounds much better than I ever anticipated. And I got it for only 75 bucks

Sorry for the huge pics.

I did mine a bit differently. When I tapped into the speaker wires, it didnt quite work right, so I ended up running RCAs to my pioneer head unit. But I love it. Only thing I had to do was bang out the metal plate in the rear arm rest. Plenty of punch for me.

i intendin buying this for my car, but that boost controller comes standard or did you buy it aparT?

**BaLAnCe17** · 09-04-2007, 09:57 PM

**M3ltdown** · 09-05-2007, 02:18 PM

why did u sell it? werent happy with it?
anything youd like to tell me before i buy it?

**BaLAnCe17** · 09-05-2007, 02:34 PM

the sub was exaclty what i was looking for. I have to sell my car before i head out to italy. I also sold all the aftermarket stuff on it because i knew i would make more money that way. so thats why i sold it

**M3ltdown** · 09-05-2007, 03:10 PM

i see, but performance wise, is it good does it pump juice or is it a steamy pile of shit?

**BaLAnCe17** · 09-05-2007, 07:48 PM

hahaha. its no where near my previous two 10'' 800watt system, but this unit definitely fills the bass sector. its not going to shake your brains out, but it is noticably different.
