Thinking of installing an Active Bazooka Tube into the boot of my lovely car!

Would appreciate any views on people that may have bought this product for their car.

Seems that Rockford Fosgate are also now making an active tube as well, anyone tried one of these?

Just looking for something easy to remove when the boot's needed........(it's already got one amp in it!).

 

Got 2 8inch bazookas in my FD.
Works and sounds fine.

 

If you've got the Bose system, keep it intact.

 

My friend use to have a bazooka sub in his 88 gxl. I thought it sounded pretty damn good

 

my friend, and fellow forum member, has an amplified bazooka that fits lengthwise against the rear strut brace. it sounds very good, and by this time, the factory blowse system will need to be replaced anyway..

It's a sports car, not a stereo. I leave the obnoxious, attention-****, sound hardware to the ricegirls.

 

I have had 2 8inch Bazookas for the past 5 years and they sound really nice. They are very easy to remove when you need to. They also do not weigh that much either.

2 8inch bazookas are hardly obnoxious, they really add a nice deep base for all types of music. Its hardly noticeable from outside unless you are in front the car and the doors open and the windows down and the music turned all the way up!

There's a difference with being an audiophile and an "attention-****." Anyway it depends on how much u like ur in to sound. Bazooka tubes are a joke when compared to some other real subs. I'd only buy them if you are lookin for a sub to fit w/in a space, not if you want the best sound.

 

You're wrong! Obviously you never heard
a 10" bazooka in a FD.

Thats true, I heard a 10inch SAS and I was very impressed.

I have the 8 inch one with the amp built in tucked under the rear strut bar.. works well. its out of the way, easy to remove and adds decent bass

 

there's nothing wrong with a system in a sports car as long as you dont blast it obnoxiously loud just to gain attention or have it intergrated into your car in a manner that makes it impossible to remove for when you go racing. i have a system in my car because i like to listen to music on the highway and such. and the bass that can be emitted from a 6.5" component speaker leaves a lot to be desired

 

The previously owner of my car took extremely good care of it (founded San Diego Rx7 club) he had the bose speakers replaced with boston acoustics which easily make enough bass...however, they do rattle a TINY little bit, so I'm thinking of installing the bazooka tube the second owner of the car bought to reduce this.

 

i have the bose.........and its really nice.......

i dont think ill change it till next year tho

 

I used to work for Bazooka and here is the deal. The 10" tubes aren't the way to go. The 8 inchers have much better quality sound. In an FD I would use either one 61/2 inch tube or one 8 inch tube. The air space in an FD is tight enough for one tube, any more than that is silly. The tubes are great quality, and I definetly recommend them.

 

i think the bazookas are a bit cheap, like they dont sound that good for the money

 

Thanks for all the views..........(looks like I've started an argument!)

I know that a Bazooka Tube is never gonna be as sonically as good as a custom installation Subwoofer in a box, but as long as the unit gives good performance, is easy to remove, and can't be seen by the prying eyes of thieves then I'll be happy.

The most popular install for subs in RX7's seems to be a free air model model mounted in the rear self.

I've seen some sports cars which have units built into the passenger foot well which is an interesting idea but is prone to being seen by thieves, and of course reduces the leg room by some margin!

There's a dealer in London that have some models in stock. I hope I can try one on my setup and see if it does justice to the rest of the system........

 

Dont forget that our car is a coupe....and ANYTHING sound good in a coupe!

 

Get the stupid bazooka tube that looks like a nos bottle!!!
