Re: What are your thoughts on Bazooka base tubes?

the tubes are good if your only wanting to hear boom boom boom.
and don't care if the sound is good..
if your not into the boom boom boom.
get a 10" sub and an inclosed box(or build it)
inclosed box =tight bass but is powerhungry, you'll want a good amp.(rockford fosgate/jl audio /etc)
a ported box. is a little looser and not as powerhungry.. for the same loudness..
a bandpass box. is loose and boomy and only good for rap/hip hop
that don't want sound just THA BOOM
I sealled box with a 12" will be more than enough for most.. to get the lows but not overpower the rest of the sound..
if running a mono amp single voice coil if your running a single sub and like the double bass of some rock but don't want two subs a dual voice coil sub is for you..
just don't do as I did with my first box..
it was 2 dual voice coil subs wired in a way that cause the kenwood monoblock amp(100watts, it was the 80's) into running at a 1 ohm load.. when we pulled the amp and took it back still under warranty,,(11 months later when it gave up)
and it came back. the place (tweeter etc) car audio guy said the circurt board soiler was mostly on the bottom of the amp house'n..
and asked how it was wired,,when I told him, he laughed so hard he was red..
they where amazed it lasted that long that way..
opps
good luck..
