Question BassLink Overpowering Stock Sub

I have done car audio before, and know how messy things can get. I would like to keep it as simple as possible, so I am looking at the BassLinks. I really like the Harmon Kardon/Infinity brand, where these all in one units get great reviews. I am specifically looking at 2 units.

Since the factory sub is free air, using the trunk as its enclosure, how many subs will interfere with the excursion of the stock sub? It is apparent that I can not place two 12" Perfects back there and expect for the stock sub to work the same.

I am interested in keeping the stock look all around and would like the stock sub to play as good as it has been. Will 2 Basslinks interfere with the trunk pressure too much? How about 1 BassLink?

Also I am concerned about impendance issues when tapping the preline amp wire. Do i have to worry about wiring in series, etc..not sure?...

Also is anyone using a capacitor with 1 All-in-one-Unit, or 2? Is it not necessary? Not looking forward to dimming headlights.

I dont think it will be a problem since the SCs have a stock high output alternate, but would like to make sure.

Why not just pull out the stock sub so you dont have to worry about it, it sucks anyway

...i wouldnt say mine sucks. I actually like it..i think it is quite tasteful and crisp. I have had the dual-amp, 2 Aluminum 12"s, capacitors, etc, and think for all the work put into, it does not pay off as much as it should.

I sold my last block rattling system after a woman got out of her car, walked 7 cars down to me at a stoplight, and politely asked me to turn my music down b/c her newborn was sleeping...

My OEM sub rattles my rearview mirror. Good Bass . Not crazy; at my most insane I had a system that rattled my teeth. Overkill...

But I like the "little Free-Air wonder" and my motto is alway "appear" stock.

..so it stays..
