adding basslink sub...maybe

[spame1982]

Hi, I bought a 2001 S-10 extended cab a couple of months ago, and am thinking about adding an aftermarket sub/amp or a comb of the two and keep my stock (delco) CD player and speakers. I don't have a lot of money, so I was thinking about going with an infinity basslink combo thats about 200 dollars on the net.

 

is this a good idea?....

 

 

and if so how will this work with my stock speakers and cd player?

 

 

any advice would be great.

I have the Basslink in my Silverado and really enjoy it. Basically, I was just wanting to supplement the existing sound system's lack of bass. That's all. And I wanted the convenience of quick installation and removal.

 

If you want a loud thumper, the Basslink isn't for you. What it gives you is ease of installation and a very nice low-frequency supplement that doesn't exist with your stock speakers.

 

In my case, I used the existing speaker wires that were running to my back speakers to feed the Basslink. Worked great. Later, I replaced my OEM unit with a Pioneer and used the Pioneer's woofer feed to fire up the Basslink. The EQ setting for the Pioneer was set for low bass and I used the Basslink to provide bass, thus sparing the anemic OEM speakers bass output. The sound is simply incredible. Admittedly, due to my inexperience, it took me a very long time to get the settings right.

 

So, for me, this was definitely a very easy way to go to get the bass that I want without messing around with my speakers and being really invasive with the installation. When/if I trade my truck in, I can easily remove my modifications in probably less than five minutes.

 

But, again, if you are wanting a thumper to annoy steet traffic, this is not the unit for you.

I just snagged one off eBay for 190 bucks new. It isnt that fancy clear one but it will work. Dont have it installed yet but heard alot of good things about it.
