INTRODUCTION
HEARING WARNING!
Playing loud music in a vehicle can permanently damage your hearing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. We recommend using low volume levels while driving. Infinity accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting from the use or misuse of this product.
YOUR CAR AND BASS REPRODUCTION
Depending on the interior volume of your vehicle and the dimensions of the passenger compartment and cargo area, reproduced frequencies below 80Hz may be boosted by nearly 12dB per octave as frequency decreases. This effect, known as the vehicle’s “transfer function” or “cabin gain,” plays an important part in shaping the overall
BassLink T is designed to work with your vehicle’s other speakers to reproduce frequencies below 100Hz. Moreover, depending on orientation and mounting location, BassLink T may be “in phase” or “out of phase” with those speakers.The result- ing conditions, known as constructive and destruc- tive interference, also play a role in shaping the total frequency response of your system.
BassLinkT includes controls to optimize both of these conditions and their adjustment is explained in sections “Controls & Functions” and “Tuning Basslink T”.
CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION
Choose a mounting location that does not interfere with the seats, seat mechanisms or cargo.

MOUNTING BASSLINK T
CAUTION: Make sure mounting screws will not puncture wiring harnesses, brake or fuel lines, or the vehicle’s fuel tank. Some or all of these may be located behind or under the mounting surface.
BassLink T has been designed for easy installation in many vehicle applications. BassLink T should be secured to a solid mounting surface using the supplied mounting hardware. There are multiple indentations along the mounting flange. These allow for different screw locations, depending on your vehicle. BassLink T should be secured using a minimum of four screws along the different edges. Please see Figures 4 and 6.
