 Topic: Car Audio or Bass FansPosted: 16 January 2011 at 4:27pm |

A couple of years ago I was given a brand new bazooka boom tube that has sat forgotten in the original box until now.
Not being an car audio freak, I am not too familiar with what it is. I assume it is used to amplify the bass. Is this correct? Now on to my more important questions. Would thi piece of equiptment be specific to the one vehicle it was marketed for? Could it worrk with all or most car sound systems? Could it be made to work with home audio equiptment if I wanted to do so? Thanks in advance for any help or advice. Wheres Sniper69 when i need him? |

Yeah, its a powered sub. no, its not vehical specific, and if you know what your doin you can make it work with a factory system, or a aftermarket headunit. And yeah, iv seen people hook these systems to work with home audio systems with the right know how. I could help with that if you need it.

Not at all. Theres close to $1000 in my camaro's system and thats plenty. I cant turn the volume knob past 20 without physical pain, so I figured I didn't need any more.

Hmm. I had a though today that I could put it into my game room and place it behind my gaming chair and have nice bass with my 360.
Good or bad idea. Any idea what I need to get it to work with a home's electrical power. I also assume I would need a reciever or something to hook it into. I have no idea what I would be doing in this area. Plugging in the red and white cords is as far as I know about audio setup. |

Ok so basically to get it to work properly it would help if I knew what model of bazooka woofer you had. But the system I built we used an old computer power supply to power the amplifier, then we ran the rca wires from a surround sound system into the amp. Then boom we had mega bass that shook the house. FYI explosions in COD are absolutely amazing coming from a car sub.

You are better off selling the car audio bazooka tube and buying a powered home sub...
Car audio is designed to be used with ac not dc (2-4 ohm). It won't perform as it should and will eventually damage the sub (home subs are typically 8 ohm). Especially if you turn it up and end up sending distortion through the sub... If you don't convert the signal to only low bass signals.
you could probably sell the sub for around the cost of one of these.
I have one in my theater... Great sub!
If you really want to use it, you need to make sure you aren't sending through mid and high to your sub, using some type of bandwidth limiter to only accept the bass signals.
I used to compete in car audio, as my lowrider had a very big system (2 rockford fosgate pro 12 inch subs built into the bed, and a walk through with a few subs, and altec lansing mids and tweets.
I was pushing 148 spl in my under 250 watt class... Good enough to win just about every contest I entered. I could flip quarters on the roof when the bass hit.

Exactly, but he is tryin to say car audio people in general, wich is crap. Some of us like clarity, and some are idiots who enjoy blowing their ear drums for cheap laughs. generalisations carl, remember, not evryone is grouped cuz of some idiots.

People who throw two 12" and an amp aren't car audio people. |

FE is right, it will be more work than it is worth to make a car sub work in a home theater scenario. Car audio subs (depending on how many voice coils they have, and Bazooka's only have 1) will run a 1,2, 4, and 8 OHMS. OHMS is the resistance against the woofer and if this number isn't matched with it's power sources output then you will damage the sub pretty quick and in some instances even damage the amplifier.
The BT's can work in any car with any sound system, be it factory or aftermarket. Get yourself a nice Home Theater set up and a nice subwoofer with it. And I am everywhere. But mostly in the middle east. I'm always just a PM away though.

What are you doing in the middle east?
And I remember sending Snipa a PM about car audio at least 5 years ago. Good times. |
