Infiniti Basslink Problem...

[97chameleonbird 10+ year member]

I just bought an infiniti basslink powered subwoofer enclosure. Its for my girlfriend since she doesnt want much power, just some nice bass.

It was open box from best buy because it was the only one left in like...the world or something stupid like that.

I hooked it up to my current system just to see if it works. plug the power, ground, remote and rca from my ipod into the enclosure.

it works fine with everything turned down but when its turned up it starts popping and doesnt play the music because its popping too much and its crackling too.

either the sub is ruined from retards at best buy messing around with it or...

what im thinking is that since my system is more wattage than the 200 watt enclosure...the fuse is high causing it to get too much amperage to the internal amp? im not a super genious when it comes to audio, but i learn stuff everyday and have only delt with a few systems (too poor)... if anyone can think of any way to test then please help. Im thinking of just running a smaller guaged wire from my battery, outside the car, to the back and hooking it up with a smaller amped fuse to see if that works but id rather not do allll that if i dont need to.

thanks for helping.

turn the gain down.

turn the gain down.

Wrong. Turn the gain all the way up, and keep turning up the volume on your headunit until the popping sound goes away.

ok, no need to be smart about it. The gain is literally down all the way, along with everything else possible on the sub. the slightest little turn of the nob makes it pop and stop playing and just keep popping and crackling. obviously that isnt right.

Check your ground.

the ground should be working because it was hooked up to my other system and worked fine. i just simply moved the wires over from my amp to the basslink system.

i think the basslink just has crappy circuity/internal wiring. i have the basslink II with the 4 channel amp and the left channels just cut out intermittently when they feel like it.

Return it to Best Buy.

Open box, they won't take it back.

Why didn't you just hook up the rca from the radio that was going into your old amp instead of the ipod?

ipod is my temporary radio... they said theres a warranty or something on it because they probably knew it wasnt working, im just bringing it back.

input sensitivity on basslink is 50mv. i'm not sure what the headphone jack on ipod is. have you tried hooking it up from the dock connector? just an idea.
