Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 485 Registered: Jun-06 | 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? |

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? |

I already knew that Bazooka's were crap, but I just wanted to see what everyone's opinions were on the 8" NOS tubes. |
