Ive finally got some credit built up and im off to buying a new vehicle. Im not sure on the year but im gonna be getting a Chevy S-10 (2001 I think???). At first, I was lookin around for subwoofers that would be able to fit and makes a good amount of bass but, I wouldn't want something too big back up there since i'll be using that 3rd seat. I came across one of these and im kindof considering it: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_155_Bazooka+NOS8+-+Blue+NOS-8+-.html . Ive never had any experiece with this sub so im not sure what amp to get. I was also considering getting two of these. There 150 watts RMS each and have a SVC 4 ohm load.


Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

A relative of mine has some Infinity reference subwoofers in an '04 S10, not sure when the style changed but the references are just shy of 5" deep, and you can still use his 3rd seat.

I'm also not sure on how deep he made his box, whether it was just enough to accomodate the 5" mounting depth or more.

DO NOT buy anything that says "Bazooka" anywhere on it.

The build quality on Bazooka products is absolutely TERRIBLE, you will blow those in ~3 months, and I can almost guarantee that.

What kind of a budget do you have?
You need head unit + amplifier too?

As far as my budget goes, I have $500 to spend (sub, amp, enclosure, wiring)

Joe, you're a guy who knows the audio world. Grab a good 10" such as infinity (cheap with good sq) and build a nice sealed box. You will be happy.

lol, ya I do know things here and there but, I lack experience with most of the products out there. I already knew that Bazooka's were crap, but I just wanted to see what everyone's opinions were on the 8" NOS tubes.

i haven't heard their NOS tubes, but they're pretty much the same and i've heard the others. They s.ck, The only way to improve is to use their basstubes and put another sub in.
