Just cut off the RCA ends and splice them in with a rear speaker wire. Then run the power, ground, and remote wires like normal.

no no no dont do that you will kill your amp. get ahold of a line convertor. it will turn speaker level into low level inputs. then just run a short patch cable to your amp. run your power line from your bat. and a remote line from your fuse box.

dont cut rca cables and conect to your speakers and then to your amp
it will let to much power into your amp and will blow it.
low level inputs on amps are made to handle like 7-12 watts
thats why they sell line convertors. it will convert your 30 or 40 watts
down to like 10 watts.
alot (good bit of them anyways) of low pass crossovers (just lets the bass through
and cancels out the highs)
have speaker level input, but they all have line level (low level) output.
hope this helps you a bit better. if ya need any help just ask.

Yea, the basslink does have a converter. Its a little term called "LINE LEVEL INPUTS". Thus, you dont need an external converter since it already has one. Another bonus is that the amp on the basslink wont need a remote wire going to the head unit to tell the amp when to turn on and off. It detects sound automatically : ) .

Oh, and one more tech talkie. The bass link features a Harmon Kardon class D amp which not only barely heats up, it is much better for smooth transitional bass! Oh yea, it also uses less juice than a class a/b amp would at the same power rate. I love class d amps!
