The front-speakers-plus-subwoofer amplifier. Run components up front and a real subwoofer off one compact chassis, with bass processing built into the sub channels and clean factory integration throughout.
New front speakers and a subwoofer is the most popular aftermarket audio upgrade there is, and the link500.4mini was designed around exactly that build. In 3-channel mode it delivers 125 watts x 2 to the main speakers and 250 watts x 1 to the subwoofer, so neither end of the system is starved. Run as a straight 4-channel, it produces 75 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms and 125 watts RMS per channel at 2 ohms, with 250 watts x 2 available bridged at 4 ohms.
All of it lives in a chassis just 9.2 by 4.5 by 1.65 inches, narrow enough to mount where conventional amplifiers will not go.
This is what separates the link500.4mini from other compact 4-channels. Channels 3 and 4 carry a 1-band parametric EQ and a variable subsonic filter, so when they are bridged for subwoofer duty the bass stage gets real tuning tools. The parametric EQ corrects the cabin resonance every vehicle has, and the subsonic filter protects the driver from over-excursion below its usable range.
Add the optional linkRC remote and the subwoofer level on channels 3/4 adjusts from the front seat, so bass can be matched to the music on the fly. Fully adjustable high-pass and low-pass crossovers at 12dB per octave handle the frequency split between the front stage and the sub.
The result is a complete components-plus-subwoofer system, tuned and protected, from one amplifier with one power run and one mounting location.
The link500.4mini carries Wavtech's adaptive loading technology and accepts up to 40V of hi-level input, so it ties directly into demanding factory systems. For factory audio where no full-range signal is present, built-in summing with level trim recombines the split signals internally, with no external processor required. Differential balanced inputs reject system noise, and auto turn-on works through DC-offset or audio signal detection when no remote wire is available.
It is Start/Stop system compatible, and the build follows the Mini Series formula: compact aluminum chassis with detachable mounting tabs, Active Thermal Management, locking detachable hi-level speaker terminals, 4-gauge power and ground terminals, and variable gain with a clip LED for precise level matching.
125 watts x 2 for the main speakers plus 250 watts x 1 bridged for the subwoofer. The components-plus-sub build from one amp.
A 1-band parametric EQ corrects cabin resonance and a variable subsonic filter protects the sub below its usable range.
Optional remote level control adjusts channels 3/4 from the front seat to fine tune subwoofer output on the fly.
Recombines split factory signals internally with level trim adjustment. No outboard summing processor needed.
Accepts high-level signal from demanding factory amplifiers with differential balanced inputs that reject noise.
Mini Series width with Active Thermal Management, so real system power fits where full-size amps cannot.
The link500.4mini powers the most popular upgrade in car audio from a single compact chassis, with the bass tuning tools and factory integration to do it right.
