INSTALLATION
Choosing a mounting location
Choose a location that doesn’t interfere with the loading or
unloading of cargo, fold-down rear seats, or opening or closing of
the trunk lid. The best location is likely to be the front or rear
corner of the trunk or luggage compartment. These locations, in
addition to being out of the way, will provide the best sonic
reproduction in the 60Hz – 100Hz range because the output of
the woofer will be “corner loaded” against the walls of the vehicle.
In any case, the BassLink SM must not interfere with the safe
operation of the vehicle.

all of these may be located behind or under the mounting surface.

Mounting BassLink SM
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle’s negative (–) battery
terminal before beginning the installation.
terminal before beginning the installation.
NOTE: If you are using only the BassLink SM’s line-level (RCA)
inputs, you must connect the remote wire from the BassLink SM
to the system’s head unit so BassLink SM will turn on and off with
the system. If you will be using the speaker-level outputs from
your head unit, you do not need to connect the remote output.
The BassLink SM’s speaker-level inputs will sense voltage on the
speaker wires and the BassLink SM will turn itself on. (See Audio
Sense Switch, below.)

Input Connections
Connect the subwoofer output from the
source unit to either the left or right
line-level input. If your source unit does
not have a dedicated subwoofer output
you can connect the rear left/right
outputs to the BassLink SM’s left and
right inputs.
