Thinking of going with the factory install of the bazooka tube, but I don't know if it's worth almost $500. Any advice?

 

thats what i do for a living i do all auido,alarms,fiberglass ETC 500 for a 8" is a rip off .. now it depends what kind of amp ??? for 500 you can have a flipout screen installed ??? by auidovox...

 

I heard it and was really unimpressed. for an all oem sound system it's still very good but..... I knew i'd put in an entire stereo soo.... no

 

no save your money and get a better amp and sub

 

In a word...NO. I almost sprung for one when I bought my xB, until I heard one. Click on the link to see what I did to my factory system for $400.

There are way better methods to spend $400-500 on audio upgrades in a Scion.

 

HELL NO

 

You can go to www.crutchfield.com and order the same sub, actually, a better version of that bazooka 8" sub for about $250 and get the kit from ebay or Toyota for about $30, then it takes about an hour or two to install. for just about half the price. Or you could order a smaller sub that sounds better and stash it under the fake floor. I wouldn't get the dealer option in the xB.

 

____ no
i got 2 memphis m class 12' subs in a custom box with a mephis amp installed for $850 its well worth it

 

The dealer installed price is way to high. Is the Baxzooka sub any good? Depends on what you are looking for. If you want LOUD thumping bass forget it. If you just want to add a little more depth to the sytem yes. If you are able to spend some time and effort you can purchase the same Bazooka kit Scion installs off of Ebay for about $ 265 shipped and install it yourself.

 

NO!

 

not worth it...

 

god no.... when an 8" SUB is only pumping out 100watts, I realize that my 6x9's hit harder than that does....

 

6x9's suck too......generally speaking, not a personal attack

 

Would have to agree...generally not the best sounding speakers in the world.
