will a amplifier be need?

Sorry, I meant it be powering a passive sub, not a the Basslink.

For £180 you could get a sub and enclosure that would leave the basslink for dead.

Smally: i tend to listen to r&b with a bit of dance and occasional indie mixed in with it lol

and

Paul: i do like my bass but im not after ear bleeding power but i want more than that will be supplied with the factory upgrade with the punto.

so a sub amp and enclosure that leaves you with as much space in the boot as the basslink t does for the same price?
if so i would consider switching.
