I worked at SAS (Southern Audio Systems) aka Bazooka factory while in college (LSU) many years ago. Glad to see that the company is still doing well and the "new crowd" still supports a solid product. Good review, tutorial and video.
Good job on the video. I rarely comment but this is probably one of the best videos I've seen regarding bass review videos. Very humble short and effective. Thank you
I have had two 6" (without amp built in) Bazookas in my Fiero since before you were probably born :) When I did my 3800 Supercharged swap I also upgraded the sound system except for the subs. The Original subwoofer manufacture for them when they were built in the usa is still around and I was able to buy new surrounds for them and rebuild them. I had them running off a Sony amp for years and now I run them off a Hifonics brx12001.d with the gain set to min. They still pound and are like 30 years old!
I've got 2 8" bazooka tubes..non powered hooked up to an Orion HCCA 100 amp and another 16 speakers hooked up to an Orion HCCA 50 amp. All mid bass are 6 1/2"x 4..5 1/4" x4 , mids 4" x4 and two mid range Polk audio tear drop..and two Alpine tweeters. Speakers are wired in series. Subs are parallel . Alpine head unit and audio control parametric EQ. 90 amp alternator and extra Optima battery in the back. Stealth install. When you look inside the car, all you see is the the tubes.
listen to manowars dark avanger on theese. the bass in that song is an match in heaven with those monsrers. had 2pcce 6 insh passive in a tiny toyota as my first car stereo. best subs i had in a car.
Hey Great video man! You Didn't just do a Review of the Bazooka Bass Tube and leave it at that, you also showed the installation process as well. That is much appreciated from the folks out here like myself who aren't too familiar with car audio installs. Thanks! Btw, i jus got the Alpine 12" SWT-12S4 Bass Tube, lookin forward to installing it.
If these are like they used to be 20years ago you need to get the 10” tube and bring your own amplifier we used the Rockford fozgate punch150rms amp. That one tube would shake your windows out.
@@4WheelKid I just ordered a Bazooka bass tube and have a TDub! Lol man I used to have a Bazooka tube back around 2002 or so when I started driving and just recently started thinking about systems again. I thought man an old bass tube would fit in with my 91 Pickup.
Nice video. I don't want to take up to much space from my trunk. I'm driving am 07 Camry that came with none JBL factory speakers. I installed a 7 inch pioneer head unit and now it sounds even better. But I still want alot more punch and bass. Can I keep my factory speakers and can you tell me what I need to purchase aside from the bazooka to get the install done. Thank you
I just bought the 8 inch variant. However it doesn’t seem to be working to well. I have a 208 Pontiac Grand Prix. I have the audio input spliced into my back 6x9s. I received a suggestion to use pre-amp inputs do you think that would help? The sub is working but is producing very little bass even when adjusting the gain.
hmm interesting, did you try the phase selection switch? if it is out of phase, it will make it sound extremely flat and strange, because the other speakers are cancelling it out
Would love to get one of these for my Mercedes A class AMG. But have no idea how to get high level inputs to it. The speakers are in all 4 doors., so it means finding the harnesses to the rear doors and tapping into them. Not something I really want to do on a 1yr old car.
yeah not the best thing to do to a car like that maybe try an internet search to see if there is some kind of adapter you can get so you don't have to hack up any wires
You should be able to order some pigtails and make it plug and play. A local car audio shop should be able to do the install for you at a fair price if you don't want to bother with it.
I've heard that the non amplified are a little better. I've owned the non and they rock. My friend had two powered 8's and they rocked too. I'm a fan of Sass, they do a lot with very little.
just stock factory upgraded audio package even the head unit is stock, I wanted an aftermarket one its a huge pain because the stock runs on a fiber-optic ring. probably about half volume. no problem thanks!
10 years ago my best friend popped one of these things in the back of his Audi A3. That was the first time I ever heard a song with amplified bass. At that time, (I can't truly remember all the details of the sound) I was overwhelmed that additional bass can add so much to the music experience. Now, 10 years later, after I got some cash I invested in my own sound system and I have a Rockford Fosgate P3 12 inch that produces 600 w rms. Even though I just love the way dubstep sounds in my car now, I can't shake off the feeling of not being able to compare the tubes to the subwoofer boxes. Could you provide a comment on that, if a same wattage tube and box was compared, what would be the main differences?
nice haha yeah once you have bass music just won't be the same without it. cool I actually got a fockford fostgate p3 10in 600 watts rms, ill be making videos with, not sure what you mean by the tubes vs boxes?
oh gottcha, the p3 is way better but not really because it's in a square enclosure, even if the p3 was in a tube enclosure it would still sound way better as long as it was designed and built right. the bazooka tubes are more for entry level or people who don't want a lot of bass or just wants something cheap and easy to install
That is incorrect. People have won sound-offs with Bazooka tubes. If you use the RCA inputs you can use additional EQ and placement to smooth out the tubes response. It is not an entry level subwoofer system. People say that because you only pay $150-$200 for one. While people spent two or three times that for bass that isn't really much better just more. The only problem with the bass tube is that roll off below the tuning frequency makes some bass notes have less impact. Also people install them typically into cars with stock stereos that have limited tone controls, no real EQ. Bass is typically centered at 100 Hz in most cars when there is bass below that so when you jack up the bass tone control you are just making 100 Hz louder not the frequencies below that. You can have as much bass as you want with tubes. You could run (2) amplified 250w tubes and (2) passive tubes. That is 550 watts of sub-bass power and four subs, is that entry level?
Do you have proof? I have installed more than a few of these. There is no advantage to using a LOC as one is built-into the system itself, you'll just be spending more money for nothing. All you have to ensure is to make sure the ground is good and with 100w and below tubes you can just tap your fuse box current draw is minimal because it's a Class D amp. You get a better signal from using the high level inputs rather than spend money to convert it to RCA which it already built-into the tube. You can connect the tube to either again no need for a LOC.
What toggles when you change the 3 way phase input switch? Mine is on the bottom setting and sounds fine but I can't seem to find any information on it
it should be a 2 way phase selector switch, it just reverses the polarity. it's in phase when the the speaker pushes out when all the other speakers are pushing out this is what you want if it's out of phase it's pulling it when all the other speakers are pushing out this will make it kind of cancel out and it will sound strange
I want to add bass to my grand cherokee but dont want a lot of the space taken by a box so this bazooka look and sounds pretty good plus i been puttin my bike on the back seat so i dont have to be worry hittin the sub or sub box with my bike 🚲 mayb i even add 2 bazooka well seee
I wouldn’t waste money on a 6.5 inch sub go with a good 15 it will have more bass than you will ever need I had a wall of 4 15s in my old car fucking blew out my front glass had to change it to plexi
i'm not sure since I have never heard the kicker hidaway, ill have to get one someday I made a video on the kenwood underseat sub which might be kinda similar
Depends. I've had both 8" inch 50w tubes and 100w tubes. Both could be heard with the windows down but nothing crazy. If you want a setup that hits really hard, get the 250w tubes and a passive slave tube. Trust me it will play louder and sound just as good as many custom setups. Most people just get the one tube because it's affordable and it's plenty for most people.
it's hard to put a rating on them, but what I will say is that the bazooka tube has louder bass but takes up more room, where the underseat one takes up less space and has slightly better sound quality
@bassisgood - Nice video. I'm thinking about putting an 8" 100W BTA8100FHC in my car. It has a Trailer fuse 15A. Do you think I could use the Trailer fuse for the power source and Daytime Running Light fuse 10A for the control cable (blue)? There is also an Accessory Power Socket 20A fuse. Maybe it's better to use the Accessory Power Socket 20A for the blue cable? Thank you.
trailer fuse should be good for the power, and either one of those should work for the control. power socket is good as long as it looses power when the car is turned off, most do I think but not all
Which tube do you have? If it's 50w or 100w tube changing the box won't do anything. What you CAN do is upgrade to the 250w tube. It should be a bit louder, but the real advantage is you can add a passive tube to the powered sub for twice the bass.
I have a Veloster and I need something like this. I don't think the stereo is loud enough. Would the amp in the sub help bump up the volume of my factory studio. Thanks in advance.
As long as the ported enclosure volume is a close match it should be banging but I'm sure that the built in amp is not going to properly power the sundown. Sundowns are beastly so you may get port noise.
Sundown subs require serious power and a good sized box. If the OP is looking for just more period, better more sensitive main speakers will improve the sound and volume for minimal outlay. A 50w tube will not outrun the stock system but give you WAY more bass.
I had a dual 8" bazooka once before. I do not understand why anyone would want one of these. A $50 8 inch sub in a sealed box has cleaner output than these things. It just sounds like boomy mid-bass.
boomy mid bass? not installed right, wrong crossover frequency. As I have said people have won sound off competitions with them, it's not hard but if you treat it like a cheap investment like most people do then you won't get much out of them. A sealed box will be MUCH bigger and require two-three times the power to get to the same output as the ported Bazooka tube, simple physics. A sealed box the RIGHT size will play lower but you aren't playing chamber music are you? 99% of popular music is between 50-100 Hz as far as bass is concerned. There is some rap, and electronica that goes below that and below the tuning off the tubes they do tend to struggle a bit but that rarely happens.
You do a lot of assuming but there is only 1 way to install it as it has a built in 300 watt amp and comes with all wiring and it's even installed in a hatchback. You're clearly biased but these are tuned to 39hz which is too high, all of them are tuned this way. The purpose of a crossover frequency is specifically match the overlap of your mid bass speakers. The reason why these are boomy and peaky is because of the high tune, too small of a ported enclosure and the piss poor group delay that the enclosure gives as a result of it's size. These subs also have poor transient response and designed to be cost effective. They are in fact, very entry level subs, equivalent to Jenson $29. The 8 inch Bazooka replacement sub is only $50 and that is over priced. Also sealed boxes are actually smaller. In order to make a small ported box, you sacrifice a lot. An 8" sundown SD2 subwoofer only needs .25 ft3 sealed box and far exceeds the mechanical capabilities of the Bazooka sub itself. The entire design is for SPL only, which is why it sounds like a fart cannon.
its not a horrible idea in this case because the amp on the bazooka tube is fused 7.5 amps. and the trailer fuse I was using is 10amps and nothing else is being used on that circuit since I don't use a trailer, but yeah any bigger sub and amp you would want to go directly to the battery
Pair of Bazooka RS 8s' on a Rockford Fosgate Punch running @ 768 watts in my s10 cracked my windshield so yeah! If you do it right these subs are god damn, mean little bastards! PS With this setup (built in amp) the fuse box connections are OK. If your doing a full system the remote on from the fuse box or radio is fine but don't feed your amp from the fuse box, go straight to battery with an inline fuse.
darn I hate when stuff gets stolen, my truck got broken into a while back and stole some tools and a sleeping bag, they left the sub though. but it was hidden under the seat
The knob on the tube is NOT a volume knob! it's a gain knob. It's to match the headunit s amp to the subwoofers amplifier. Turning it up all the way just causes distortion and clipping. Which causes the sub to blow.
Yes, but the amp is matched to the sub. In a situation where you're pairing amps and sub of different companies what your are saying is VERY TRUE! SAS will not sell a product with a self destruct knob on the back.
According To Honda you don't know what your are talking about. Not trying to be rude. But you don't. The gain knob is not to add or just the volume. Or make the amp put out more watts. It is to match your headunits rca outputs to the amp. Nothing to do with matching brands of the product.
To match the RCA VOLTAGE. All head units are in the 2 to 4 volt range. IT'S STANDARD and DOES NOT CHANGE WITH THE VOLUME! This is how you can match an amp and sub and guarantee it's 90% safe. Eclipse units run really high but if you're running aftermarket equipment you know what you're doing. This sub is for adding a little bass to a stock setup not competition.
nice that was my very first setup after I started driving, it will be much much better sound wise compared to a bazooka tube but will take up way more room, just depends on what your looking for
How would it sound better? If you compare like for like, the Bazooka tubes will out play it period. I don't understand why you can't seem to understand it. Cylinders work better for bass reproduction than square boxes. MTX gives you a package that is big and impressive and to the inexperienced it's okay overall, just like most prefab setups. 1 JL W8 with the same power in a simple ported box will kill any prefab MTX setup but the W8 cost as much as the MTX system, that is the problem isn't it?
they might hear it slightly but probably not enough to piss them off, best go with something bigger, people who talk on the phone constantly while driving piss me off, even worse when they are texting
haha for sure, and I think it would, you gotta make sure it reflects off something like the side of the car, if it's pointing directly at you it won't sound as good in my experience. hope that makes sense

bassisgood thanks for the reply man. May I know on which area the Kenwood are slightly nicer?
no problem and the kenwood just seems to have more tighter sound quaility bass
bassisgood currently I'm using the Kenwood. Is it worth it if I want to change to bazooka?
I personally like the kenwood a little more for some reason
how about the bass? which is more deeper? Kenwood sw11 or this bazooka?

hey thats cool! thanks :)
Geaux Tigers⚜️🤘🏿 Oh & the Bazooka is cool too👍🏾
you can tell alot of work went into this video. well worth the effort.
thanks for the comment. It did take me a long time to make it haha
try building a spl bass car, now were talking about time
Good job on the video. I rarely comment but this is probably one of the best videos I've seen regarding bass review videos. Very humble short and effective. Thank you
no this sounds like shit. go buy an real bass tube or not.
My friend back in high school put the 8" amplified version in the back of an old VW Beetle. It hit pretty hard. I was impressed.
I have had two 6" (without amp built in) Bazookas in my Fiero since before you were probably born :) When I did my 3800 Supercharged swap I also upgraded the sound system except for the subs.

thats awesome!
I recommend connecting the power wire on the battery 🔋
Absolutely love the bazooka blast intro!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Me too😂
I rarely leave comments but this video helped out a ton, thanks man!!!
Glad to hear it was helpful 😃
I’ve had this for about almost 2 years and it sounds so good in the car but outside it’s really quiet.
nice, I liked it quite a lot. I guess that could be a bad or good thing
Great video so in depth and no BS.
I appreciate that!
Love the live bazooka round in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣
Haha glad you enjoyed it
Holy crap. I wonder how 2 of the 12's would sound? I might look at these. By the way, I love the song you use for testing!
I had one of the bazooka 12's one time and it sounded great! thanks it's Brown Bag - Silent Partner (on the youtube music library)
Pair of Bazooka RS 8s' on a Rockford Fosgate Punch running @ 768 watts
in my s10 cracked my windshield so yeah they are nice if done right!
Had 2 in a trunk with a Pioneer amp can't remember the wattage but it wasn't too much, and it sounded amazing.
Fuse tap, what a great invention
For sure

wow that's awesome! even better with a clean install!
At a 100 watts these sound pretty good not eyeball rattling but still really good.
yeah not terrible for what they are
Now this is what I need in my Impala 2017 yes!
it's great for some extra bass
Why is there a ghost coming out your sub at 0:31?
because ghosts are cool haha
Stef 🤔 idk that's weird tho 👽
What is that
Um looks like he blew up the sub lmao
it's at 21 seconds too... bizarre.
My very first sub in my very first car 11 years ago
nice it's a good first sub haha
i have a bazzoka sub its a 10in i made a custom box for it cuz the tube sounded bad and had a few holes in it but its a good lil sub
oh nice the bazooka sub lives on! yeah holes would not make it sound good for sure
listen to manowars dark avanger on theese. the bass in that song is an match in heaven with those monsrers. had 2pcce 6 insh passive in a tiny toyota as my first car stereo. best subs i had in a car.
Nice! I bet that bumps
Did I see smoke come out of that?
sure did

yeah they have the self amplified and non amplified ones, I had a 12in bazooka tube running off a separate amp on my older car, and it was great
you still here bro? i’ve got questions about that
Actually didn’t sound bad before sub but after sub damn!!
yeah really did the trick haha
It's the Tdubskids!!
Hi there!
@@4WheelKid I just ordered a Bazooka bass tube and have a TDub! Lol man I used to have a Bazooka tube back around 2002 or so when I started driving and just recently started thinking about systems again. I thought man an old bass tube would fit in with my 91 Pickup.
haha nice! yeah they are pretty nice for the price and small size. I just put a big sub in my car, and now I can't put many groceries back there 😂
Nice review and SAAB 9-3!!
thanks!
Back in highschool I had 15" speaker bazooka , and it was loud and on top of that I had two 12" box , back them I listen to Run dmc ,lot of bass
how that's huge haha nice, I had 2 12in for a while
Have an 8 in my single cab truck. It’s perfect.
nice!
I have 2, 12’s in my van ... it’s Extreme !
my homie gots one and it sounds and hits good bass not bad for starter sub woofer . :) nice sub woofer .
yeah definitely not bad for starting out or if you don't want to pay a lot!
Best review man good job..
hey thanks!
I had the 10 inch omega in a 89 camry and it's 2022 and haven't had bass like that since
nice! it sucks not having at least some bass
@@4WheelKid I've got 2 12s and everyone who gets in my ride still say it aint nothing like the camry
Great details in the video. However the bass sounds distorted and punchy
thanks, yeah not the best ever, it's long gone now
Do you hook up the wires before or after the factory amp ??
After factory amp if using high level inputs
good video man!
hey thanks!
Love the bazooka animation
hey thanks!
hey its the TDubs Kid!
haha yep, I have been slowly working on a big project for this channel while making the motorcycle videos
WOW..big difference.
yeah not bad for what it is
Can I use two instead of only one?
Yes
Why does it have 100watt amp..that's nothing at all..do you still need another amp to power it
that's enough for how small it is. you don't need another amp. you can always get a bigger system if you want
Question, my bazooka led lights up orange. Why isn't is green?
not sure, maybe not hooked up right?
Nice video. I don't want to take up to much space from my trunk. I'm driving am 07 Camry that came with none JBL factory speakers.

Can I keep my factory speakers and can you tell me what I need to purchase aside from the bazooka to get the install done. Thank you

hey therem, are the sound better than the Kenwood KSC-SW11 that you reviewed? Looking for a nice low & deep bass.
I think the bazooka tube was louder but the kenwood sounds slightly nicer
Would love to get one of these for my Mercedes A class AMG. But have no idea how to get high level inputs to it. The speakers are in all 4 doors., so it means finding the harnesses to the rear doors and tapping into them. Not something I really want to do on a 1yr old car.
yeah not the best thing to do to a car like that maybe try an internet search to see if there is some kind of adapter you can get so you don't have to hack up any wires

What gauge power wire did you use?
just 12 guage, you don't need anything bigger than what's on the harness
Do these have preamps in them or do I need to get my own bass amp? (I already have a bass amp and I think it sounds good, but I'm just curious.)
you can get them either way, self amplified or non amplified, if you already have an amp I would just get the non amplified one
I've heard that the non amplified are a little better. I've owned the non and they rock. My friend had two powered 8's and they rocked too. I'm a fan of Sass, they do a lot with very little.
Jason Stump But I'd need amplified unless I have a preamp pedal or something.
what are the rest of your components? seemed crystal clear without the lows of the bazooka of course... lastly, what was your volume? good video thx
just stock factory upgraded audio package even the head unit is stock, I wanted an aftermarket one its a huge pain because the stock runs on a fiber-optic ring. probably about half volume. no problem thanks!

Does the speaker come with all the wires or would I need to buy them separately
it comes with the basic harness but it's not long at all you will need some more wiring
Do you have to get a new head unit before getting this or does it work with a stock system?
you can use it with the stock system you just gotta use the high level inputs spliced into the speakers like I show in the video

just part of the enclosure
So you plugged yours in through the car’s fuses?
yeah the trailer fuse because that curcuit is not used for anything. and has a higher amp rating than the subwoofer amp fuse
If you had to rate this against the Kenwood underseat sub that you reviewed, how would you rate each one 1-10? Thanks man.
it's hard to put a rating on them, but what I will say is that the bazooka tube has louder bass but takes up more room, where the underseat one takes up less space and has slightly better sound quality
@@4WheelKid Really appreciate the response!
@@dtack777 no problem!
Saab?.....I can tell by the ignition, they've been like that since the 70's
haha yeah , pretty strange cars
@bassisgood - Nice video. I'm thinking about putting an 8" 100W BTA8100FHC in my car. It has a Trailer fuse 15A. Do you think I could use the Trailer fuse for the power source and Daytime Running Light fuse 10A for the control cable (blue)? There is also an Accessory Power Socket 20A fuse. Maybe it's better to use the Accessory Power Socket 20A for the blue cable? Thank you.
trailer fuse should be good for the power, and either one of those should work for the control. power socket is good as long as it looses power when the car is turned off, most do I think but not all
I saw this video and the video for the Kenwood amplified subwoofer. Which one would you say was louder or better?
the bazooka tube is much louder but the kenwood is smaller
Saab Gang
haha
Love the style of the video
thanks!
You are welcome
i want to put one of these in my car and in my friend car but i was told to get the 8 inch subwoofer with the amp
It's up to you, both will give you bass
@@4WheelKid thanks i really appreciate the help
Why was it smoking half the time
just for show
What's the title to the music he played?
it's in the description
Hey bro i have bass tube in my car nd want to change with ported box with same subwoofer will it effect on bass
probably won't make much difference if any since it's the same sub
Which tube do you have? If it's 50w or 100w tube changing the box won't do anything. What you CAN do is upgrade to the 250w tube. It should be a bit louder, but the real advantage is you can add a passive tube to the powered sub for twice the bass.
hi. would you recommend this over an underseat sub? i want my car to look very clean
possibly, it gives out more bass but takes up more room
what if i put 2 underseat subs?
you will get more bass
bassisgood
XD no i mean is it going to be as good as a bazooka?
I think it will, really like the sound quality on the kenwood
Found 2 on the side of the road. Couldn't be happier
haha nice
0:24 why the hell is it smoking?
just for effect

@@4WheelKid thanks !
Lmao I did some researching and my dad just bought me a bazooka speaker that came off of one those
haha nice!
I have a Veloster and I need something like this. I don't think the stereo is loud enough. Would the amp in the sub help bump up the volume of my factory studio. Thanks in advance.
the sub will only help with bass, I would recommend an aftermarket headunit and a sub for superb sound
bassisgood thanks for the response.
bassisgood I wonder how this would do with a sundown zb5
As long as the ported enclosure volume is a close match it should be banging but I'm sure that the built in amp is not going to properly power the sundown. Sundowns are beastly so you may get port noise.
Sundown subs require serious power and a good sized box. If the OP is looking for just more period, better more sensitive main speakers will improve the sound and volume for minimal outlay. A 50w tube will not outrun the stock system but give you WAY more bass.
People say theres no sound difference but there was a big difference tf 😂
yeah it depends on what people are listening with
I had a dual 8" bazooka once before. I do not understand why anyone would want one of these. A $50 8 inch sub in a sealed box has cleaner output than these things. It just sounds like boomy mid-bass.
boomy mid bass? not installed right, wrong crossover frequency. As I have said people have won sound off competitions with them, it's not hard but if you treat it like a cheap investment like most people do then you won't get much out of them. A sealed box will be MUCH bigger and require two-three times the power to get to the same output as the ported Bazooka tube, simple physics. A sealed box the RIGHT size will play lower but you aren't playing chamber music are you? 99% of popular music is between 50-100 Hz as far as bass is concerned. There is some rap, and electronica that goes below that and below the tuning off the tubes they do tend to struggle a bit but that rarely happens.
You do a lot of assuming but there is only 1 way to install it as it has a built in 300 watt amp and comes with all wiring and it's even installed in a hatchback. You're clearly biased but these are tuned to 39hz which is too high, all of them are tuned this way. The purpose of a crossover frequency is specifically match the overlap of your mid bass speakers. The reason why these are boomy and peaky is because of the high tune, too small of a ported enclosure and the piss poor group delay that the enclosure gives as a result of it's size. These subs also have poor transient response and designed to be cost effective. They are in fact, very entry level subs, equivalent to Jenson $29. The 8 inch Bazooka replacement sub is only $50 and that is over priced.
Also sealed boxes are actually smaller. In order to make a small ported box, you sacrifice a lot. An 8" sundown SD2 subwoofer only needs .25 ft3 sealed box and far exceeds the mechanical capabilities of the Bazooka sub itself. The entire design is for SPL only, which is why it sounds like a fart cannon.
bass tube that made out of plastic always plays good
keeps it simple
what song is that? I'm diggin' it
why the fuck is there steam comming out of the port at 0:32 ??
it was cookin'
nice
you clipped it to death?
Will an 8in tube fit in back of a Toyo Tundra crew max(behind back seat)?
not sure you will have to measure
whats that song?

Damm. I have some beats on while watching . the after video really had my ears vibrating
haha
Wait you're pulling all the power from a fuse tap? That's a horrible idea lol. You need to power it off the battery.
its not a horrible idea in this case because the amp on the bazooka tube is fused 7.5 amps. and the trailer fuse I was using is 10amps and nothing else is being used on that circuit since I don't use a trailer, but yeah any bigger sub and amp you would want to go directly to the battery
Can i uae the high level sub input my 03 cta has?
The wirea use dor the factory 10 in.
should be fine as long as the amp supports high level
does it come with a fuse and fuse holder?
yes it has a fuse and holder built into the wiring harness
What's the simplest way to get TaiLopez off my fucking ad screen?
joestack78 add block lol
joestack78 lmao I fucking swear that guy is burning up all my data!! With them relentless ads!!
Pair of Bazooka RS 8s' on a Rockford Fosgate Punch running @ 768 watts in my s10 cracked my windshield so yeah! If you do it right these subs are god damn, mean little bastards! PS With this setup (built in amp) the fuse box connections are OK. If your doing a full system the remote on from the fuse box or radio is fine but don't feed your amp from the fuse box, go straight to battery with an inline fuse.
wow that's crazy and yeah if your using a different amp and the tubes without built in amps definitely need to go to the battery
🤣...then the alarm clock went off
lol the smoke coming out
😂
I once has a 12 audiobhan bazzoka it got stolen from my garage thoe
darn I hate when stuff gets stolen, my truck got broken into a while back and stole some tools and a sleeping bag, they left the sub though. but it was hidden under the seat
@@4WheelKid yeah i got that and two other 12 audiobhan. For 100 usd i was amazed of the bazooka but hey it happens
The knob on the tube is NOT a volume knob! it's a gain knob. It's to match the headunit s amp to the subwoofers amplifier. Turning it up all the way just causes distortion and clipping. Which causes the sub to blow.
Yes, but the amp is matched to the sub. In a situation where you're pairing amps and sub of different companies what your are saying is VERY TRUE!
SAS will not sell a product with a self destruct knob on the back.
According To Honda you don't know what your are talking about. Not trying to be rude. But you don't. The gain knob is not to add or just the volume. Or make the amp put out more watts. It is to match your headunits rca outputs to the amp. Nothing to do with matching brands of the product.
To match the RCA VOLTAGE. All head units are in the 2 to 4 volt range. IT'S STANDARD and DOES NOT CHANGE WITH THE VOLUME! This is how you can match an amp and sub and guarantee it's 90% safe. Eclipse units run really high but if you're running aftermarket equipment you know what you're doing. This sub is for adding a little bass to a stock setup not competition.
Depends on both 100w and 50w tubes I had the gains turned all the way up. But I know what I am doing....
For 9 more dollars im buying 2 mtx terminators with an amp package deal from amazon
nice that was my very first setup after I started driving, it will be much much better sound wise compared to a bazooka tube but will take up way more room, just depends on what your looking for
How would it sound better? If you compare like for like, the Bazooka tubes will out play it period. I don't understand why you can't seem to understand it. Cylinders work better for bass reproduction than square boxes. MTX gives you a package that is big and impressive and to the inexperienced it's okay overall, just like most prefab setups. 1 JL W8 with the same power in a simple ported box will kill any prefab MTX setup but the W8 cost as much as the MTX system, that is the problem isn't it?
Es mejor este bajo de 100W Rms que una Jensen amplified de 500Wats pmpo
😀👍
is this enough to piss people off at red lights thats trying to talk on a cell phone ?
they might hear it slightly but probably not enough to piss them off, best go with something bigger, people who talk on the phone constantly while driving piss me off, even worse when they are texting
Hahahaaaa yeahhh that what I’m going for 🤣.
I didn't notice any difference tell i connect my headphones 👍👍
Exactly!
No offense but that sub looks like it’s worth 50 or 100 under USD. ‘NOT HATING’
It’s probably because it’s an all in one unit ready to Hook up you can probably build something for cheaper
TDUBS KID????
yup that's me lol
bassisgood lol funny running into you, do you think this would sound good in the backseat of a Camaro/2 door?
haha for sure, and I think it would, you gotta make sure it reflects off something like the side of the car, if it's pointing directly at you it won't sound as good in my experience. hope that makes sense
OMG! DONT SHOOT YOUR BAZOOKA IN TEH NEIGHBORHOOD ITS DANGEROUS!
hahaha
:) I installed a bazooka for my friend across the street and I was surprised at how loud it was. I think it's the same one as yours.
hey awesome, and yeah they are not bad for what they are
