8" Bazooka RS for me.

I know, I know, most people think that Bazooka is junk and I was one of those people until I bought one for $25 from some kid at work. Plays nice, requires very little power and weighs almost nothing.

Every time I've heard something like this, usually the "kid" 'found' the speaker/amp/deck and just wants to sell it. Think stolen goods...maybe not, but if you buy something at a 75% mark down, gotta wonder why...

Bass tubes can be a good thing for those that havn't heard better...or for those that are only looking for what a tube provides...

Few things, It wasn't stolen just really old and at no point did I mention that I thought the speaker played as well as 3 10" subs in a properly sized custom built enclosure. I mentioned how I acquired the sub simply because before trying it myself I never would have paid full price for one of these but I now know that with the proper placement these subs can provide a clean sounding cost effective sub solution that doesn't weigh a ton.

My bad, no offense meant. Full retraction. I've heard 1 car with multiple 10" bass tubes that sounded pretty damn good...

2 10" on my back dash mor mid bass and 2 12" in ported box

how does it sounds?

I was ganna go for the same setup, but the guy in the Audio shop told me that variation of subwoofer size or type will not be a good idea and the sound quality will not be that good

I'm just asking because I don't have a clue about this issue

I have 1 10220 Bazooka and like it a lot. I have all kinds of subs from 8's to even a JBL 18 in horn loaded enclosure (it took up most of the back of my 86 escort when I was in high school (yes that was the early 90's). I am looking to add one more 10200 and run the pair. I like the smooth hits with it...feels nice and clean and doesn't rattle the car to hell. I like the clean setup of them too....just the wire harness and they can be pulled out if I need to cargo space. My only beef with them is the strap system they come with sucks ass, but I am going to fix that as well. I guess I do not understand why peeps find the bazooka tubes to be crap. Hell I remember going to a competition a few years back and a guy won a stereo sound off with easy with his tubes....he was running 6 10's tho.

Try Spray in truck bead liner . . . it's cheap and works like a charm! just messy if you don't know what you are doing.

I've used every size from 6.5" to 20":thumbup:. Haven't quite decided whats gonna go in the hatch. Probably something small along the lines of a bass tube...don't need anything crazy in it.

may i recommend the basslink made by infinity or even the basslink II i have the regular basslink myself. I didnt want nething to loud because in peoria IL u get a 500 dollar fine and ur car gets inpounded for loud music but i was very impressed by the amount of bass this lil thing puts out about as loud as my two 10" alpines i had in my focus zx3.

Isn't that the city that you get fined for farting or even breathing too loud as well?

One fifteen+1500wrms@2ohm right now. 'Downgrading' to a 12 and wiring to 1 ohm so I can pull 1800wrms out of my amp.
