Looking for some more bass without going all out - I use my trunk often so I do not want to use too much space. I was thinking of a 10" Bazzoka Tube.

I just wanted some opinions on the tube itself or any other ideas. I have heard mixed things about them. I plan on using the stock HU.

I live near Ron and seen a few guys around here that had work done by him and it is QUALITY!!! I am not going to go bother him for a "small time" tube, but if I get some other ideas I definitly plan on calling him.

 

I was informed a little while back that bazooka tubes are not worth it for the money unless you have something like a hatchback where the bass is not closed off in a trunk area. True, low frequencies should travel through everything but apparently the bazooka tube alone doesn't provide enough 'oomph' to push it through so clearly. So I guess it'll work if u want a little extra over the stock but not a lot.

 

I recently had a 8" Bazooka NOS tube put in my TL-S with an Alpine 2 channel amp and it sounds great. I even had to turn down the gain level. I don't listen to my music loud, but the passive tubes have a lot of oummp. I heard the active tubes don't last that long. Looks good and sounds great.

 

You can shoot over to Ron and see what he recommends for your bass problem...

 

type sp5:
how are you, listen if u are interested in a bazooka tube , I have one that was used for only about 1-2 months, on a stock dodge radio so u know it wasn't abused at all. Once I got my tl-s, i took the tube out of my intrepid and put it in my room. Since then it is still just sitting in my room, waiting to be used. It is an 8 inch with a built in 100 w amp. I am really lookin to get rid of it because i don't wanna do any mods like that to my tl-type S, and its a waste of space in my room. They usually go for about $300-350, i will give it to u for $220 or if u wanna talk more about price that is fine with me, its not broken or anything, in fact it is in really excellent shape--I'M JUST LOOKIN TO GET RID OF IT. So please respond, and maybe we can make arrangements.
