blackdelsol Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I am looking at getting either an 8" or a 10" bazooka sub with a built in amp. Does anyone know how they sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91H22Accord Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 they suck that's just what i think i don't go cheap on anything and stereo sound quality is a big thing for me if you want something that sounds good and is light(racing purposes) go with Visonik...i know they got some nice sounds that weigh nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLontheDL Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 they do suck but its not as bad as people say it is. They give you the "bass" sound but its not something you want if you want your car to really hit or if you want the car in the next lane to feel your bass.

blackdelsol Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 I just want to have good bass, yet still have a trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 Alright. Here's the problem... I had two sony Xplod subs, and even though I know they don't get good reviews, I liked the sound. Unfortunately, I didn't have a trunk anymore. I just want good bass, but to still have most of the trunk. What should I do????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkCreep Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Im running a 10" Bazooka with a 400W amp in a 2001 Quest and it sounds great. I know what 12's sound like. BUt if you are not a sound freak and you want bass and STILL have a trunk. Go with a Bazooka. They hit. Trust me, I have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 you could build a fiberglass enclosure behind the seats if you dont want that space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 i'd get a bazooka tube if it'd look good in my car anywhere.. they hit decent and just give you that extra little bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 you can't compare a bazooka to a solo baric. I might just get a bazooka until I have money though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hesperiandeathhorse(lol) Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 solobaric is trash, and that is the opinion of most audiophiles. go pick up a high end alphasonik, audiobahn or MA audio woofer...don't worry about size, the 10's from any one of these brands will annihalate anything kicker releases. Be sure to pick up an MA audio amp. oh and fyi, you'll save money by getting the better product. also, if you haven't already invested in a blaupunkt reciever with 4 volt pre-amp outputs and their bass engine, you might look into that. Wire the system to either 4 or 6 ohms for well defined bass...or go down to 1 or 2 ohms for painfully heavy bass. The MA audio amps can handle any setup so feel free to tweak to your desire. Frank at Audiowarehouse installed a 350 dollar MA amp and a pair of 120 dollar audiobahn subs...running at 2 ohms. The guy who owned the car brought it back two days later because his factory spoiler fell off, once they dug in to see the problem, they noticed three bolts lying on the floor of the trunk and two more working themselves out. Guy claims that everything was straight before the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLontheDL Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 i have heard 3 12" L7s in a custom box in a tahoo...it hits. trust me solobarics are not trash.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shitonthat Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Don't L7's cost 500 dollars per though? I looked at the alphasonik and audibahn's at a local store and they hit really hard too...with a 140 dollar pricetag. Now I know what this guy is talking about, I think I might get mine replaced. The 10's in the showroom were amazing and accurate like you wouldn't believe. I'm gonna run over and get the Audiobahn proladeedasomethingorothers when I get my next paycheck.

blackdelsol Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 solo barics are expensive, but they hit hard. they don't suck at all. I've heard them. you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shitonthat Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Well, give the other stuff a listen too. You might be really impressed...I know I am. In fact, I plan on replacing my old subs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLontheDL Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 what you hear at the store might be different from when you hear it in your car b/c of the setup. to get the most out of the sub you are going to buy, be sure to get a box that is made to the exact spec that is recommended for the subwoofers. otherwise its going to sound like CRAP. also the type of car plays an important roll in the sound too b/c of the shape of the car. lets say you take a subwoofer and place it in a hatchback or a suv, it is going to sound better than in an accord or whatever. my freaking back seat doesn't close own so i know my music is restricted back there. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 that sucks. The solo barics are high quality, so they don't need as much space in the box, as I understand it. I want to get the box that is slanted, it uses not very much space. I heard some Alpine type R 10" today, those are really nice. The E types aren't bad either, but I really like the R's.

TLontheDL Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I may be installing 2 12" Rs this weekend. I am still debating on this 12" X i found.
