It works for few month with no problem. Now each time I turn off the radio or the car a big boom noise comes out the subwoofer. The subwoofer sound is OK.

- I double check the positive cable that runs from the battery to the subwoofer and the ground cable. Install a new battery and teminals too, just in case.

- Made a mistake. Still got the problem and press the wrong buttom. Need a solution.
This sounds like a small line capacitor discharging and amplified by the power amp. Unfortunately, this small capacitor can be anywhere from the head unit, equalizer or electronic crossovers (if any), regular amp (if separate from the subamp) and where the RCA terminated cables from the HU initially goes to and finally the sub amp itself. These could be a 1~2.2uF (or thereabouts) line/series capacitor. Its purpose is to provide a pathway for the audio but block an DC signals. What you are hearing (I suspect) as boom are these capacitors discharging along the audio line.
Corrective measure would be open the units up, performing diagnostic and capacitor test (specifically those that are used as inputs). The best would be with the use of a capacitance meter but an ordinary analog VOM/Continuity tester would also do the job. These capacitors are normally located pretty near the RCA input or output jacks. It is not uncommon also for capacitors in the amplifier to cause similar concerns.
Alternately, a quick and dirty trick to reduce if not eliminate the sound is to install another set of capacitors along the audio line. This could be done at the HU's RCA output or the amp's RCA input. Of course this did not correct the defective capacitors (if any) but merely a workaround.
Another possibility that can not be discounted is that the internal DC to DC power supply of the sub amp is acting. Again main possible culprit could be the big capacitors. Additionally, it could be simply the speaker relays (if present) failing to switch off during power down.
All of the above of course would require that you be familiar with electronic circuitry and components, the use of a DVM and possibly a soldering iron. Should you be uncomfortable with a DIY, perhaps your best bet would be to seek the services of a qualified audio professional.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Test drove truk yesterday and stereo worked fine. Bought truck and drove it off the lot and when I went to turn on the radio the stations came up and the volume adjustment worked but no sound was coming out of the speakers.

Okay, I have an Infinity Basslink II installed in an 04 Acura TSX. I have left the unit hooked up to the battery, ground, and remote for about a week with no problems. It stays powered up, turns on and off with the remote wire as it should. Problems is, when I installed it a week ago and connected the RCA's, it sounds as if it is overpowered and distorted (extremly loud compared to the rest of the system) and if I turn up the headunit slightly, it blows the 20 amp fuse in the amp. You can hear music faintly in the back ground. I wanted to ensue everything else was hooked up correctly, hense why I left it all hooked up for a week without the RCA's. I have used a line output converter that states that it is a high / low impendance adapter level converter, dual channel, full DC isolation,input 10 ohm; output 10k ohms, and adjustable level control. Thr LOC is connected to the rear 6x9's and the polarity is correct. Tried differant RCA's, same response. What is the problem here? I've installed this unit before in a differant vehicle, worked great. Is the LOC the problem? Wrong amount ohms? The TSX has the factory amp, is this messing with the Basslink through the RCA's? The sound is the only issue when you plug in the RCA's. Any Idea's...

I've just had this thing pro installed and havw an appointment to see them again on Wed to troubleshoot....Thought I'd try as getting through to Harman Electronics seems impossible. SO...With AUTO TURN ON enabled at the BASSLINK Control panel...I get sporadic powering up of the BASSLINK II and then only for a couple seconds before it quits. With the AUTO TURN ON disabled the sub comes on with key in accessory position ONLY. Turn the key forward to start the car the connection is interrupted while the vehicle starts and then NO BASSLINK II is heard. Stop engine and remove key ...insert key and turn to accessory...BASSLINK II comes on after the head unit plays for a couple seconds. The connection to the factory GM headunit in my Trailblazer is thru the speaker level inputs of the BASSLINK II....if that helps. I've checked the connection at the battery and at the BASSLINK itself. All seem OK. HEEELLLLPPPP!!!!
