LOC/Line Driver with Parametric EQ

How do you replace the best multifunction LOC and line driver on the market?  That was the question our product development team was tasked with. It is even more challenging when you are actually replacing 3 models with 1. We took the best features of the linkD, the linkQ and the bassFREQ, and combined them.  Welcome to the linkDQ.

The linkDQ has the same class leading LOC and line driver that are the core DNA of all Wāvtech products. The linkDQ features an adjustable parametric EQ with narrow or wide range selection, allowing corrections to any low frequency deficiency that may be present in a factory audio system. It features auto turn-on via DC-offset or Audio Signal Detect, either of which can be easily defeated by the convenient jumpers on the end panel.

We’ve also added an RJ45 port for easily upgrading to a remote level control (sold separately). This allows for fine tuning the systems bass output from the front of the vehicle.

Best Active Line Output Converter (LOC) :

The best LOC you can get is one that offers the features you NEED at a price that makes sense for what you get. Hands down the best LOC on the market is the LinkDQ from Wavtech! This magic box has everything an LOC should be, with the features that matter.

Underhood ANL fuse holder mount

Our ABS Mounts were first created as a plug and play solution to go with our S.I.K Kits. After years of selling them and with no other solutions on the market, we decided to bring them back by themselves with a new design.

Wāvtech is ahead of the pack

Need auto detecting load resistance? How about when the signal is distorting? Or maybe you need to bring back missing bass? Wāvtech has you covered.

How your signal is delivered Matters !

Audiophile quality signal built with the highest quality materials at the best price! Zero to no resistance means less heat and a better signal.

What Is High Level or Low level?

High level : AKA Speaker level is an amp that can handle an input voltage of 8-40v. This high output is common in factory amplified vehicles or where the
max voltage of a head unit is more than 10v. This is normally identified by a pigtail connection point or via the RCA on the amplifier (must check user manual to verify.) Some amps have a switch for this. NOT all amps have this feature.

Low Level: is 0-8v of signal voltage. This is most commonly found in aftermarket head units or other aftermarket units that use Can-bus. Most passive LOC units output 0-5v so they are considered a low level and are normally RCA to RCA. Modern day ACTIVE LOC units can output 0-10v of signal.

In conclusion an LOC works as an in-line filter that lets you control the signal, its intensity and in some cases the playable frequency range.

If your amp takes a high level and it is within the vehicles factory output range then you don't need an LOC unit and can wire in and out of your amp directly. In some Fords the signal can be flattened at the OB2, furthering the simplification of the installation.
