Product Overview
Add adjustable bass correction and signal control to a factory audio system with the Wāvtech linkDQ 2-channel LOC/line driver. Its parametric EQ offers targeted low-frequency adjustment, while differential balanced inputs and low-impedance outputs support connection to aftermarket amplifiers.
Key Features & Benefits
- Adjustable parametric EQ: Apply 0 to +12 dB of boost across a 30–80 Hz band, with narrow or wide range selection for focused bass tuning.
- Remote level control ready: The RJ45 port allows connection of an optional remote level control for front-seat bass adjustments.
- Gain and clip monitoring: Variable gain and a clip LED help you set input levels and watch for clipping during setup.
- Selectable turn-on options: Choose +12V, DC-offset, or Audio Detect triggering, with end-panel jumpers to disable a trigger as needed.
- Remote power output: The unit generates more than 500 mA of +12V remote output for ancillary devices.
- Installation-friendly construction: Locking detachable power/speaker terminals, panel-mount RCAs, a compact aluminum chassis, and detachable mounting tabs support flexible placement.

Why Choose This Product?
The linkDQ combines LOC/line-driver functions with adjustable bass EQ in one compact unit. It brings together features of the linkD, linkQ, and bassFREQ, giving you signal conversion and targeted low-frequency correction in a single component.
Differential balanced inputs help reject noise, while low-impedance outputs are designed to drive aftermarket amplifiers without excessive load on the signal. OEM load-detect features support factory-system integration.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Check your source signal type and level against the listed SPK and RCA input sensitivities, and confirm that your amplifier accepts the linkDQ’s output. Select the turn-on trigger that suits your system; the end-panel jumpers let you disable a particular trigger.
A remote level control is an optional add-on, sold separately. Plan mounting around the compact chassis, detachable mounting tabs, and the locations of the power/speaker terminals and RCAs.
