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 in-car response of
the BassLink T.
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.
BassLink T includes controls to optimize both
of these conditions and their adjustment is
explained in sections "Controls & Functions"
and "Tuning Basslink T" .

OUNTING ASS INK
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.
