Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the imam connects one surah to another in a loud prayer, does he recite the Basmalah loudly or quietly?

He recites it quietly. If he does not recite it loudly before al-Fatihah, then it is even more appropriate that he recite it quietly before other surahs. Yes.
