Product Overview
Feed front, rear, and subwoofer signals from a factory system to aftermarket amplifiers with the Wāvtech link6+ 6-channel line-output converter. Its 6-in/6-out matrix summing, autoBASS bass roll-off correction, and subwoofer parametric EQ give you flexible control for a multi-channel car-audio upgrade.
Use the link6+ to route and adjust factory audio signals in a front/rear/sub installation. Its multi-function remote also puts several system controls within reach.
Key Features & Benefits
- Flexible matrix routing: Assign any input to any output and trim each channel by ±6dB to balance the system.
- autoBASS correction: Corrects factory bass roll-off when adding aftermarket components; the circuit is patent pending.
- Subwoofer parametric EQ: Fine-tune the sub output for room gain and your system goals.
- Multi-function remote: Adjust level and source, master volume, fader, and AUX volume.
- Factory-system integration: Adaptive OEM load technology reads factory load characteristics, while differential balanced inputs help reject noise.
- Flexible connections: A 3.5mm AUX input offers selectable 2-, 4-, or 6-channel input with Direct, Copy, or Sum options.

Why Choose This Product?
Factory systems can limit bass or provide signal paths that do not match an aftermarket amplifier setup. The link6+ combines matrix routing with autoBASS correction, giving you tools to manage those signal challenges while building a front, rear, and subwoofer system.
Its independent CH5/6 level, source, and function selection supports more specific routing needs. The Never Zero CH5/6 output feature maintains defined levels on those channels regardless of front or rear input activity.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
The link6+ is designed to connect factory audio signals to aftermarket amplifiers and is stated to be suitable for vehicles with start-stop signaling concerns. Confirm that its input and output connections, channel routing, and chassis dimensions suit your planned installation.
Speaker-level input sensitivity is SPK 2-20Vrms, with a maximum SPK input voltage of 40Vrms. AUX input sensitivity is 0.5-5Vrms. The unit can turn on through a +12V trigger, DC-offset, or audio signal detection, and provides a generated +12V output rated above 500mA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the link6+ provide front, rear, and subwoofer outputs?
Yes. It is a 6-channel line-output converter with dedicated front, rear, and sub outputs.
What does the matrix summing processor let me do?
It allows any input to be assigned to any output. Analog summing maintains full-range signals across all channels, and each channel has ±6dB level trim.
What does autoBASS do?
Its bass roll-off correction addresses factory bass reduction when adding higher-quality aftermarket components.
What controls are available from the remote?
The multi-function remote controls level and source, master volume, fader, and AUX volume.
How much space does the converter need?
The chassis measures 1.1”x4.7”x5.8” (29x120x148mm). Check the available mounting space and connection access in your installation location.
