That can't be right, cost on that is probably somewhere near $180 - $190. How would you get it factory direct? 5 finger discount?

Infinity offers great accommodations


It comes out to $170ish after shipping, but still, can't really beat it for even $250ish

currently at 2 sets of Infinity Kappa 6.5" (2ohm) + Basslink II for $385 to my door.

showme whatcha got

Paying more for nicer stuff isn't really a problem, but at the same time it's being powered by the factory HU/AMP and really doesn't need to be anything special

only thing with the basslink is it's going in a Durango and I was just going to secure it with a strap and use quick release connectors to easily remove it for when I want to bring home 4x8's and such

for the power wiring, use the hood release cable grommet

no drilling = the win

otherwise it installs the same as any other amp

Well this way you can make QC's for a small sub box, and mount the amp in the lil storage space in the back there.

Ahhh I see I see. Pretty smart, surprising that more mainstream companies don't do that.

Small enclosure + amp..still doable. Mount the amp somewhere hidden ie under the rear seats, Or in the rear compartment. I did this for Nismos old boss. Then a small enclosure which is easily removed.

mounting the amp back there isn't out of the question so long as it fits. I keep tools back there but it's not a big deal. I also don't really drive it very often and those that do don't know the difference between Pyle and Arc lol
