View Full Version : Bazooka vs. amp fearturtle44 12-14-2003, 07:56 PM Not an audio expert like some of you so bear with me. I know the stock Bazooka is over priced. My question is whether to bypass the Bazooka altogether and then spend this money on an after market amp. I rather have both but if I had to choose between the two, want would this group advise? Thanks for all the suggestions and your expertise... Kevin Harris DenZinz 12-14-2003, 08:23 PM Get an aftermarket amp and sub. You will pay less than the bazooka and be more satisfied at the end. MrSmiley 12-14-2003, 08:41 PM Aftermarket all the way... the bazooka tube sounds way to muddy. Even if you drop more on a sub and amp to get high end gear, you'll be happier with your sound in the long run. truenfalse86 12-17-2003, 08:45 AM im not very audio savvy when it comes to installing and the process and what not. but i have seen the infinity sub thats got the amp integrated into it so its all one unit. you think this might be a good route for me to go? im a student with a limited budget. obz 12-17-2003, 01:27 PM The Infinity amp and sub combo is supposed to be alright. I went to my local electronics store and checked one out. There isn't a ton of pound, but it seems to be a good filler to get the bass off your stock speakers and to something that can handle it. I guess I'm used to having something a bit more powerful. I had 2 MTX 8000 Series 12's in my last car with a 800 watt amp to power them both. If you don't want to go crazy wiring up stuff all over your car, I would definately recommend the Infinity. For SURE it's going to be about 100 times better than the Bazooka... hands down. randode 12-17-2003, 03:42 PM Get an aftermarket amp and sub.

LavaXB 02-11-2004, 03:21 AM Definitely aftermarket...If you working on a budget and want solid bass for low cost, check out: http://www.adireaudio.com/mobile_audio/drivers/drivers.htm The Shiva 12" hits hard at 650watts RMS @ 2 ohms for only $125. I have one in the back of my SAAB 5 dr and it hits real nice and sweet. |
