err, bazooka bass tubes

[imported_comutek]

i needed a little bass that's quick, cheap, and small. i bought an amplified bazooka bass tube off ebay today for $40. how bad do these things suck?

i've heard a 10" bazooka tube before, but it was using a phoenix gold amp and a phoenix gold sub, sounded pretty good.

Bazooka is great. And by great, i mean a peice of shit. Youll get a little bit of bass out of it... very poor sound quality... and it wont last you very long. But for $40, it doesnt really matter.

so who wants to buy a bass tube?

j/k, i'll hook it up for the next month or so until i figure out what i want to do, it will be better than what i have now.

They're really not bad man- just fire it in your trunk and it'll be ok. Bazooka's enclosure is really efficient, so you get quite a kick for the amount of power you feed it. Just make sure it's the real SAS Bazooka or else you might be buying a total heap of crap.

yup it is. that's basically what i heard from a local car audio shop owner yesterday. the kid at the counter agreed w/ him that they aren't bad for the money. i'll probably pawn it off on my dad for his car when i get my new setup.

A bazooka bass tube was the first sub I had when I was 17. And I owned the hood becuase of it! It was in my 86 celica and I had a crappy JBL amp at the time and it carried it's weight. But 9 years of experience later, it's good until you get something good. For $40 bucks, I'd use it until I had something better. But I scored a Dual 12" JL Audio box for (12W0's - woopie doo) for $50 off of a customer of mine. I use it inbetween "real" projects.

Had one and liked it, not the best sub there is of course but at 40 bucks itll server its purpose...I sold mine as soon as I got my subs, amp and money get them installed right.

Keep the tube enclosure and upgrade the speaker to a higher end setup and you'll be pretty stoked about what you hear. I was pretty damn impressed when I heard an upgraded bazooka tube. Much better than I'd expected . . . MUCH!

Good luck with this one bro!

hmm, so this has gone from 'piece of shit' to everyone being happy w/ them for the most part.
