leggy, would you adam and eve it. I take my car to the garage that's next-door to the one I think you're talking about - R&D vehicle repairs is the one I use - I've been going to them for years, before I got into Audis (so have stayed with them through loyalty). I will have a go at sorting...

Just replaced the earth wire with a more sturdy one and relocated it to one of the seatbelt bolts - not sure the original position I had it was in direct contact with the chassis of the car. I don't want to be premature, but I think that has fixed the problem. It's now more bassy than before...

OK, I'd have to be an idiot if I don't understand now! Thanks for that info reptor, I will definitely have a more thorough look this weekend and hopefully have some positive results. It's so much easier with pictures to guide you!

Thanks all, I'm in Ipswich if that's any help? This has happened once, it was a kind of popping/banging sound and the car lost a but of power for a split second. I wish I knew what the n75 or maf were :blush: Which leads me to ask if anyone knows a good place in and around Ipswich...

Thanks guys, I will check the earth connection. The wire connecting the earth to the chassis of the car is definitely not as thick as the wire connected to live - I'm sure this is the wiring which came with the Basslink which is pretty poor if this is the problem. The live is connected...

Just to add a bit more info on this - Tried wiring the sub to the rear left and right pre outs on the HU to see if it was the sub output that is the problem, no - exactly the same. Secondly I can get the sub to work as it should at very low volumes (bass is in time with the music and constant)...

No, I don't know anyone with access to the software needed. That's why I will probably end up taking it to Audi and let them charge me a fortune. My sig is just a saying I've always liked, didn't know they said it in Last Boy Scout, will have to watch it again! That's all I can do, I don't...

I thought I had finally put this one to bed now that I have a new sub BUT... I took the car out for a drive to enjoy some music, towards the end of the journey I noticed that the bass wasn't quite right, it seemed to be intermittent. Having a closer look it now seems that the bass isn't...

Right, spent some time yesterday and today checking the tubing that I could see or gain access to. The tubing next to the driver's wheel seemed to be fine, I revved the engine and checked for any air escaping but nothing. Checked all the tubes that I could see under the bonnet but got the same...

LOL - Yeah, maybe if the Vibe goes bang I will consider that. I'm just a bit lazy and don't want to have to add loads of wires and find places to hide extra amps.

Excellent, thanks for that info. Guess I am paranoid now that my other sub blew. I'll leave it on the blue remote wire and maybe add a fuse as soon as I have time. Cheers, Jamie

OK just installed the new sub and it sounds a hell of a lot better than the Basslink - so maybe it blowing was a blessing in disguise? I have been reading up a bit on sub wiring and discovered an interesting idea regarding the remote on wire: Instead of wiring the remote on wire to the...

Thanks reptor that's excellent information! That diagram should make it a lot easier. I will check near the driver's wheel first as I need to take it off for another job anyway. It does sound like that's where it's coming from. I can't believe that the garage I took it to thought there was...

OK, thanks for that. Well the one I bought in replacement retails at £250 which I suppose is mid-range for a sub. It's a Vibe 12" Pulse 3 powered sub, from what I have read it is a fairly decent sub for the price. I hope that the extra money spent will mean that it lasts longer than 3 years!

OK thanks for the information, I will try my best to work it out and have a go. Last service was about 2 weeks ago (not by Audi), and I did mention the problem to them but they said they couldn't find anthing wrong. Plugs - I have no idea. I will have a thorough look at the weekend and see...

OK will check it at the weekend. Going by the previous post by reptor245 "just check the jubilee clip on the inner wing behind the front drivers side wheel." Is that the only place I need to look? I'm not really that hands on when it comes to cars, so please excuse my ignorance. Thanks.

OK but when checking it today I am having this problem before the turbo even kicks in from 1000-2000 revs. Had a really good listen as I was driving, definitely sounds like air escaping as I accelerate - but if the turbo only kicks in at 3000 revs then it can't be that? Any other ideas as...

AndyMac - OK, I finally get it now (duh). I think you're right, if it is fcuked then it won't be worth repairing. I have actually purchased a replacement already - a Vibe 12" Pulse 3 powered sub. If the BassLink does still work (which is unlikely) I can always sell it on. Just a final...

OK, this is where the confusion lies. I am not using the speaker terminals on the sub, I am using the twin RCA / phono inputs. If I put a multimeter accross here would that work? Thanks.

Hi Andy, Bear with me as I am not really that au fait with car audio (more of a home cinema expert). OK, so the speaker terminals where - on the HU or the sub? Why would that tell me if the sub is fried if I don't use the speaker terminals to feed the sub? Basically, in fcukwit's terms...
