Thanks. I've had real good luck with powered Bazooka bass tubes in the past. Hence why i was wondering how the Bass Link sounded. Once the stock speakers are upgraded the next step was some kind of sub but I need every square inch of the clubman with the seats folded down to carry my RC gear when I go racing. That's why I like your solution. How hard is it to remove. With the Bass Tubes it was one plug.

Forty, is St. Charles, MO anywhere near Springfield, MO?

I've been back and fourth to Spring the last few weeks for work. Would love to hear how that sounds!

I did add a quick release for the wires just encase I wanted to take out the sub-woofer box.
I LOVE that setup, BUT, it kills the use of the boot, which won't work for me unfortunately.

It doesn't sound quite as easy as the bazooka tube, as the connections are very similar to a standard amp. But the system is so easy to access, it takes all of 30 seconds to remove. I can snap a pic tomorrow if that would help to illustrate. As luck would have it, it fits the Rubber boot mat perfectly so that the little bumps hold the Basslink stand in place. I don't have any additional fasteners to keep it in place,so it just lifts out anytime. It stays secure even with aggresive driving.

Unfortunately, no. Its a suburb of St Louis, about four hours away I believe. But if you find yourself in St Louis....

Any chance your going to MOTD?
