Default S8code3, is the basslink boomy like the bose or older bose systems?

Or anyone using the basslink; is it a nice, natural, soft bass reproduction? Hard to describe, but the kind of bass you get out of high end home theater set-ups(minus the sub).

-After everyone has been talking about subs and their stereos, now I listen to mine with utmost scrutiny and distaste knowing that it could be better.

That and how long have you had it? I read that these things burn out periodically.

Default No probs thus far...

It sounds great. Has been in for 6 months now. I am very picky about sound (like ohbw). I have installed boxed subs and amps in my previous cars (Nissan 300ZX, Toyota Tundra) but this one sounds the best. It is TOO powerful however, and I have the settings at about 50%. If I had a huge box and amp in the trunk it would be overkill (unless you wanted to annoy the neighbors!). I put a Kenwood Woox in my A4, and it sounds great also. Check this out:

Best part - I can still fit 3 full golf bags in with room to spare!

It's easy to overwhelm the existing system with too much bass, thus my interest in compact subwoofers. Anything is better than what Audi describes as a subwoofer - you should see what is in the A4's hat deck - looks like a black frisbee!
