Let me first say that I am new to this whole sub-woofer thing of amping up a car stereo. Although I am sure this is a good PASSIVE sub-woofer, I bought mine through Amazon by looking through the amplified sub-woofer section. I read the first two reviews and I can tell you, there are NO adjustments on this speaker. There is a positive lead and a negative lead for the stereo input only. Those are the only inputs on the speaker inside of a bass tube. Very sneaky on Amazon's part, they probably wrote the first review to make you think you were getting what you searched for. Had I been looking for an 8" passive speaker, this would not have been my first choice. Again this is NOT Bazooka's fault that their product was placed in a wrong category by Amazon. Oh, it's really heavy too so if you plan on sending it back be prepared for a hefty shipping cost. I guess that explains the reason you only see the speaker end of this purchase. If you were to see the other end you would know something isn't quite right. I hope my error will help another newbie not make the same mistake.

Bottom line, if you have a 40w stereo you'll have a 40w sub-woofer.

I installed this in my trunk with a Kicker Amp on April 10th and it sounded great, May 10th it isn't working and now and I can't return it (10days after the Return Policy), so if you have trouble with yours, good luck...

I purchased this Bazooka Sub Woofer for my Nephew for a Christmas gift. I received the Bazooka tube in time and there was a note stating that the Bazooka tube was sent seperatly so it would get here in time for Christmas and that the 150 watt amp would be coming along shortly just after Christmas. Well, it's been five weeks and I haven't heard or seen anything of the amplifier. I can't find the manufacturer to send them an e-mail to find out what happened to the rest of my order. I'm pissed.

Well i had this thing for 5 weeks before it blew. upon waiting to long to return it, i cut it open and the voice coil was tiny and broke to hell and back.
Just really not good. And this thing isnt pre-amplified just so you know. I would just got an 8 inch anything else in a normal box.

I have this sub wired to a Sony CDX-GT610Ui head unit via an Alpine F300 4 channel amplifier in my 1998 VW GTI hatchback. The front 2 channels feed my 4 Pioneer TS-A1683R 4-Way 6.5" Speakers (channel 1 has left front and rear, and channel 2 has right front and rear). The Bazooka sub is fed by channels 3 and 4, which are bridged to provide 150 watts of power, which is more than adequate. The system really sounds great. There is plenty of power to go around to all the speakers, and the bazooka 8" sub provides great bass sound to complement the mids and highs from the Pioneers. I have the LP crossover frequency on the amp for channels 3 and 4 set at about 120 Hz, and the HP crossover frequency on the amp for channels 1 and 2 set at about 100 Hz. These settings let the bazooka pound out the bass, and spare the pioneers the lows that might otherwise blow them to pieces. I have cranked the sound up to the point where it hurts my ears, and the bazooka handles the bass flawlessly, without distortion, and the pioneers do the same with the mids and highs. And I do like my to play my music loud. Thievery Corporation, Black-Eyed Peas, Lil'Wayne, 50 Cent, Whiz Khalifa - all sound fantastic. This bazooka subwoofer has exceeded my expectations for sound quality and power.

This bazooka tube sounds awesome in my f150! fits good under the rear seat and provides a ton of bass...I wasn't expecting it to sound so good! Got mine for under 100 bucks! WHAT A DEAL!!!!

Upon purchase and recieving item, i was pleased arrived quickly with no probs, ive owned bazooka tubes before like in the 90,s this one seems to be made with similar quality, im sure i will be pleased after hooking it up, wich i havnt done yet. i bought the rockford fosgate r 250 prime series amplifier to power this tube, i hope it isnt over powered im sure it will be tested completly using this power source. so will see if bazooka has made any improvements soon enough. i LIKE BAZOOKA TUBES THEY HAVE GOOD SOUND QUALITY, and easy to mount and hook up, you only need one per vehicle.

This was the last piece of equipment to complete my sound system. To be honest, it was this sub that has made the biggest difference. Everything is powered by a 5 channel amp, and what a difference having a sub makes. Nice, warm bass coming from the bazooka, fills the entire car. I keep it turned down on the HU, the sub setting is on 4 out of 12, and the amp has a nifty sub adjustment knob (very useful, since songs can vary so much in bass level) Plenty of bass for me!

I bought this product for my car. I needed something to add a little more bass to my music--I wasn't looking to shake the walls. It took me an hour to connect the Tube to my stereo, and it sounds great! I can adjust the bass from the tube and control how much output I get. I would definitely buy form this seller again.

Man this thing sounds great. Super clean, won't blow your eardrums. Set up correctly, this thing will amaze, so read the instructions!
