Anyone running a self amplified subwoofer??

WHORERUNNER · 04-20-2006, 09:18 PM

I'm planning on upgrading my sound system and would like to run a self powered sub with an alpine HU with some 6 1/2's. I want something that hits clean bass. Does anyone here run a self amp'd sub? If so how does it sound in your 4rnr. I've heard some decent things about the basslink and the Audiobahn ATB10AT which both are around $180.00(within resonable budget) I'm also open to any suggestions.
I really on listen to ROCK, thats why I'm looking for clean tight bass, no need for huge rattling bass as I think thats more for rap and hip hop.

Thread has nothing to do with 95.5-2004 Tacomas & 96-2002 4Runners

My suggestion would be to delete your thread and repost it in the appropriate section...

I think the Basslink is much more than $180. I used to run the Audiobahn sub and it was pretty good w/ a stock radio and stock speakers.

When I decided to upgrade the whole system, it would not suffice so I sold it. If you want stock w/ just good bass, Basslink is better than the Audiobahn but at the time I bought mine, Basslink was about twice the price.

i bought mine for 180 shipped off ebay (basslink. here what you do, buy an amp kit from walmart, go to circuit city and buy one. 299! you have a 30 day return policy. order yours from ebay and when it arives, return it to C.C!

I used to run a Bazooka and always had good luck with it.

Bumpin' Yota · 04-21-2006, 03:20 PM

With all due respect to the opinions posted above, the audiobahn and the many bazooka's all suck... I've owned a bazooka (3 actually) and installed dozens of em. They all fall horribly short of what a sub should be.

The new infinity basslink II is by far the BEST self amped sub Ive heard yet - and is actually better than some component subs, such as kenwood's and power acoustic's subs...

If you cant fit the basslink II the try the basslink T, this setup has a 250 watt amp, 1 active 10" and 2 10" passive radiators. It sounds quite nice and has some decent thump.

not in the 4runner, but in the back of my 510 i have an olskool 8'' powered box that is easily portable and still sounds decent.

WHORERUNNER · 04-21-2006, 09:22 PM

I went to circuit city and they are no longer carrying any infinity audio, they are replacing it with Eclipse.Those basslinks11 are going for around $260 shipped off ebay, with that money i think I'd be better off getting a 10 inch kicker sub and an amp to push it, what to you guys think.

I'd do the Basslink II in the 4runner over anything else out there on the market.

89macrunner · 05-11-2006, 07:53 PM

get a basslink. I had one and it sounded awesome but it just wasnt enough thump for my young brain.

My sister has one and im installing mine in my dad's 4runner
