I've been wanting to buy the custom bazooka subwoofer for a while now. However, I can't find any reviews of how good they sound. I'm not looking for anything with rediculous bass because i know this isnt the product for that. I found one online for $280, and i just want to know if any one is really happy with the product

 

I have one and i have to say i love it, just the right amount of bass, not to much weight, its good all around and it doesnt take up that much space

 

I think there have been several threads on this subject already, try a search. I believe the general feeling is that it's not worth $280, and you could do a lot better for the same money with a different sub/box. However, there's a VSE on ebay right now, starting price is $120 - if you could get it for somewhere in that price range, it might be worth it. Check around though, and you might find the exact answer to your question in one of the previous threads. Benefit of the VSE, it doesn't take up all the trunk space - but peeps have some nice set-ups in other threads as well, where the subs are tucked or hidden down by the spare tire to save trunk space too. There are plenty of options, just a matter of your personal tastes.

 

I havent heard rave reviews about the bazooka sub. However, I highly recommend the Infinity Basslink II. I got it off ebay for $250. Doesnt take up much room, and sounds great!

 

yep, definitely search on this one.

I'll give you a hint - you can get the same bazooka tube at walmart for $99

 

Tube isn't conformed to the side of the car.



We make that, should be out in a couple months(the speaker). Amp, you'd have to hide under seat/behind rear panel but no biggie

 

Not true - it's a tube in the xB (from the dealer), but a form fitted enclosure in the tC. Yes, you could get a Bazooka tube for less, and probably would sound the same, but you would not find the tC enclosure at walmart, and not for $99.

Mandos - I was referring to your set ups in my earlier post, where the subs are hidden; sweet.

 

Ah, I didn't realize we were talking tC here, i'll...just... xB going now

 

mandos that looks hot! i want in

 

lmao rofl, thats funny yeh original poster drives a tc

 

i had(still have?) the VSE Bazooka.
I enjoyed the stock setup of it, and it sounds like what you are looing for if your not looking for a rediculous bass expirience.

its a 100w speaker with a 60w (max) amp all in a 1cuft ported "custom" box. for what you get with it you're paying more for the fancy box than what speaker/amp your getting. and i like the box a lot and oddly enough get asked alot where i got it from.

I have since "frankenstiened" it out and am at that point with it that it is a good bit craxy. i gutted it out and sealed it up and stuck a kicker comp 10" in there and am using kenwood KAC 6202 amp stuck underneath it in the storage space. sounds rediculous now, its great.

and the wiring harness that comes with it (that you can buy separetly) is the greatest thing ever if your keeping the stock HU.
makes installing aftermarket amps and speakers a breeze, its awesome.

and it is possible to get to everthing underneath with the VSE box installed, you can slide the trunk floor cover out easily. the box doesn't sit on the trunks floor,

its not the same thing, the one at walmart is weaker. i think its 50w instead of 100w....

ah thats so sweet looking if i change i am definatley looking into that

 

I have it
and love it
dont take much space at all from the storage in the back
and i have the Ipod Radio Head Unit
but i like it
i give it a good review
so id say get it

 

what i put above...i lied sorta
i hate it
i have twive blown out the voice coils
it is horrible
they replace it under warrenty
it took only 1 month to blow and the sub box rattles

...if you bought it good luck

 

I really like mine, but I'm not a huge audiophile. As stated before, it's nowhere near ground shaking but it does compliment the stock stereo and speakers quite well. Overall I think it's a good choice if you just want a little bit of thump for yourself. If you're looking for something that people in the next lane will hear, look elsewhere.

 

sounds to me like you don't have it setup correctly... subs don't just blow without reason... you probably have the gain set incorrectly...

 

i have the gain **** set where the dealer set it and it is on the white dot...
which is factory
i have my upgrade radio [[ipod stock one]] at
Bass +1 Treble +5 Fade +3 Balance 0

so i dont know i think i am just going to put to Alpine type-r's
but i dont know
what do you think...

 

OOOOHH...... I thought you had the Elemental Designs SQ10 subwoofer setup... my bad...



You could get better performance from Elemental Designs 11Ov.2's instead of the Type-R's... just a thought

 

NO, not worth the money...until you swap out the crappy sub and amp for a LOT nicer one.

i just switched out the kicker i had in there for a JL w1 (or was it a w2..... well i dont remember) i can take out the funky plug i needed now and it sounds so much cleaner.
