Has anyone out there modified there stock TC Bazooka subwoofer, by maybe replacing it or replacing internal amp? I love the Stock look of the TC sub and it does not take up space, but sometime i need a bit more.......BOOM?! ya thats it haha. Let me know cause i was thinking of swaping out the 10" and put somehting a bit stronger

 

I don't think the sub is that bad at all. I know it could be better but just running an external amp with a good built in crossover would do wonders for it.

 

moved....

 

I also think the bazooka sub is just fine, even if its a bit over-priced. I am not a fan of ported sub enclosures though cause they resonate at certain frequencies and cancel out others. so i cut a 3" diameter piece of particle board, glued it in the port and sealed it up with caulk. You've got to crank the amp up on it a bit more to get a similar volume response, but the sound is sooooooooo much more natural. If you want more forcefull sound and power DO NOT DO THIS, but if you like a natural, tight, smooth bass sound, i highly suggest trying this.

 

I do think it sounds good, but sometimes i think it could need just a little more low, but im afraid by just putting a normal 10" there it will ruin the acoustics of the car, i mean i am in the process of putting componets. but till then idk

 

I started a thread about this a while back. Nobody has tried it yet. I think a friend of mine has 2 JLs sittin around. I'll bug him this weekend to let me borrow one.

 

Throwing a sub in (if you happen to have it) would be a good
guess and test, but if you are thinking about buying one
then do the math.

Figure out what airspace is behind the stock sub and make
sure the sub you are considering will work well in that
amount of airspace.

Figure out what frequency is boosted by the port and
how that port will effect the *new* sub you are considering.
(It will probably shift the frequency depending on the
new subs design).

After all that, make sure the sub you are considering has
a higher sensitivity then the one that's in the box now.
You will get WAY more volume out of a more sensitive
speaker then you would paying more for a slightly bigger
amp.

 

Has anyone tried this yet or know of a place that makes a custom fit box for a tc?
