quick question: what kind of amp wiring kit do i need or which do you guys recommend to install a basslink into my alpine hu w/ sub-out?

yes i don't know jack about stereos but am comfortable enough to do the install myself...

since the internal amp of that thing is rated at 200 watts, u should be fine w/ a 10 gauge wiring kit...but if ur thinkin about upgrading to a more powerful amp/sub in the future u might wanna consider a thicker gauge like 8ga or even 4ga.

look for a kit that comes w/ power and ground wire, fuse and fuseholder, remote wire, rca connects and u'll be fine...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I beleive the basslink does not need a remote wire.

Another way to put it: have you actually installed one? If not, I would suggest you say so :) I haven't, but I thought I read that somewhere.

If using the speaker-level inputs, an audio-sense circuit will turn on the amplifier whenever a signal is present. If the RCAs are used, a 12-volt, remote-turn-on lead is required.

That's courtesy of the Infinity Sytems website.

Another way to put it: bug killa will need a remote wire since he's using the sub rca preout...

That's how I had mine. It's not that reliable.

so how's the basslink? thinking of getting the basslink X but not sure if it is good...

so is it better to hook it up to a separate switch rather than having it sense the signal?
