Wavtech LinkLD Additional Plug In Line Load Resistors for Speaker Level Inputs
Couldn't Load Pickup availability
The Wavtech LinkLD is a plug-in, in-line 2-channel 45-ohm parallel load resistor for the speaker-level inputs of Wavtech line output converters, designed for vehicles whose factory audio system requires additional load to operate correctly.
Use it with Wavtech LOC models such as the LinkDQ, the link6 or the link8.
Key specifications
- Load: 2-channel, 45-ohm parallel
- Total load with a Wavtech LOC: 36 ohms (45 ohms in parallel with the internal 180 ohms)
- Input capability: 40V RMS, suitable for high-power factory systems
- Wire: OFC speaker wire
- Design: in-line, plug-in
LinkLD in-line parallel load
The LinkLD adds extra load resistance to speaker-level inputs, ensuring your OEM audio system continues to function correctly when the built-in load of a Wavtech LOC is not sufficient on its own.
Many modern vehicles require a load to be present for the factory audio system to work properly. All Wavtech LOCs include a built-in load, but some vehicles need more. The LinkLD plugs directly in to provide that additional resistance.

About the Wavtech LINKLD
From our tech experts at CEN
The Wavtech LinkLD is a plug-in, in-line 2-channel load resistor for the speaker-level inputs of Wavtech line output converters. It provides a 45-ohm parallel load, giving a combined total of 36 ohms when used alongside the built-in 180-ohm load of any Wavtech LOC. It is designed for vehicles whose factory audio system needs additional load to operate correctly.
Who it suits
The LinkLD suits anyone fitting a Wavtech LOC — such as the LinkDQ, Link6, or Link8 — into a vehicle whose OEM system switches off or behaves incorrectly without sufficient speaker load. It is not always necessary, but essential in some modern cars.
Our tech experts advise
Check whether your vehicle actually needs extra load before ordering; many cars work fine with the load already built into the LOC. The LinkLD handles up to 40V RMS, making it suitable for high-power factory systems. It connects in-line and plugs directly into the LOC's speaker-level input leads with no soldering required.
