OK So I have decided that the stock sub in my 07 SS/SC is not doing it for me. So I am replacing it.

I am tossed up between an Infinity Basslink self powered sub or a PIONEER TS-SW2541D 10" 1000w slim sub with amp to go into the stock enclosure.

Now I'm not sure what way I'm gonna go, but I'm leaning toward the Basslink due to cost.

My question is this: What is the best way to get the signal to the amp? I figure I have a few options.

1. The RE-Q, 3Sixty or similar device.
2. Line Level converter
3. Use the speaker level input directly on the amp or Basslink.

Now if I use a speaker level converter on the amp or line level converter can I just use the wires from the sub or do I have to use my rear speaker signal?

Any opinions are appreciated and please keep in mind I really don't want to spend a whole lot of money.

 

no one?

 

Wish I could help you but I was wondering about replacing the stock sub and putting another speaker in the stock enclosure aswell.

 

if your on a budget then i would throw the processors out the window... they are nice and do what they need to do but not really nessicary. A line level converter or using high level inputs are both just fine. In terms of which one will be louder the bass link or the pioneer i honestly have no idea... Depending on you amp choice its going to make the big difference... The only way id go with the basslink would be if your amp of choice makes the same or less power then the basslink (havent looked at the specs for the pioneer sub so try and match rms of the sub to amp)

 

Ok cool, what about using the stock sub signal? Can I use it for my speaker level input?

 

yup.

 

How does the stock sub come out?...i took the screws out but that cover and the sub wont come off.

 

yeah good question lol and what do i hafta too to hook a different one in and what if i wanna add a small say 200 watt amp or something ont hat line

 

Throw a jl sub in there.i have a 10w1v2 and im happy with it.

 

thats how i have my system hooked up and it pounds hard and clear

 

just replaced the factory sub with that sub?

 

Yeah,its a direct swap.You just need an mdf ring so the back of the speaker wont hit the back of the box.You need to run an amp for it of course.

 

do you have to have anything special or do anything special to hook it up or can yo just hook it up like a normal amp you know

 

an amp with high level connections or a loc helps

 

the factory sub is a 2 channel setup. You need to pick a input and use it to run a LOC or run it to the amp. I had to take the whole box out of the trunk and remove a bolt from the back of the sub inorder to remove it from the stock box. (I bought a RF P3 shallow for the stock enclosure, no MDF ring needed) and am giving it about 280 watts RMS.
