bazooka tubes or subwoofer enclosures?

[dj_eclipse_303]

i 'm planing to get a system for my CB7 i have a bazooka tube custom made i heard bazooka tube sound better than woofer box. what you guys think. i'm going for kicker all the way no solobaric! 6.5 front, 6x9 rear and amp for sub

bazooka or box?

[JoshM]

I don't like Bazooka tubes.
A buddy has one in his xB.
Not a fan.

im a installer.

tubes are great for those who have crappy small speakers that produce nothing but sound and for those who are looking to "fill in that gap"

they help better usually in a smaller cab more like a truck.

however they have a 10'' powered tube that freaken knocks nice. but not as much as a sub.

i personally prefer 1 nice 12'' or 2 10''.

x2, I ALMOST bought a 10" tube for the CB a while back. Heard one in my buddy's civic and it just doesnt have the same sound as a true sub. I don't know if that makes sense or not. Just one of those things you have to hear it to realize the difference.

It doesn't have the "Ummph" that subs do.

LOL....some of yall are killing me, a "bazooka" is a subwoofer and the "tube" is the type of enclosure=Bazooka tube. 1.5, 2.0, 2.5cu feet is the same no matter if its in a tube, a square, a rectange, or triangle enclosure. if anything the subwoofer and amplified power is the key factor in the equation.

I've got both setups. Right now I'm using the cheap ass bazooka tube from walmart. It's got a built in amp, and it sounds decent. I don't want a ton of bass, since I listen to metal anyway. I've got it in there because my PPI amp is f'd up. The tube is a LOT smaller than my enclosure, too.

Depending on the sound you're looking for, and how much bass you want will be the key factors in going one way or the other.

i have bazooka tube in my trunk.... It roll around because it somewhat round. But then it small and light unlike enclosures i have which is pretty heavy

LOL. You are very misinformed. If you think that shape of a chamber has nothing to do with the way waves interact and sound, you need to do some reading.

and actually the shape of the chamber can improve the way the waves interact. the more you chop up the waves inside the box the better. its not going to be an audible difference but overall it can effect it.

but overall you are correct, the shape of the box is not really going to effect it.

imo bazooka tubes blow unless your just looking for filler bass to improve your range. but if your looking to bang, get a amp and sub. and dont cheap out and buy walmart shit like i saw above. if u cant afford good stuff, save up and get them. or buy it peice by peice, i bought the components for my system over a few months, and the dynamat over a 6 month period... and thats with the stuff at dealer cost. if u wanna hang with the big boys your gonna need to spent some chedda.

actually im not very misinformed, ive been building enclosure for over 9 years i know how the actual correct term "standing waves" work but most are not even an audible notice to the human ear only on paper or a detection device. but for most part it doesnt matter thats why many people fiberglass so they can get that desired shape and not lose bass and sq. ive made many full vented fiberglass enclosure of all shapes and sizes that can hit just as hard as a standard sqaure ported box. How do u think alpine and jbl demo vehicles can pull off cylinder shaped enclosure etc and stil maintain great SPL and SQ.

JUST LIKE UrDonesrh "its not going to be an audible difference but overall it can effect it.

but overall you are correct, the shape of the box is not really going to effect it"

Then mount it...


I have a bazooka tube in my 93 cougar and it does very well for the 'filler bass' that i want it to.
Then i have a 12'' in my cb7 and it does what i want it to, bounce the car.

It all depends what you want.

And for the record, Bazooka is not a type of subwoofer enclosure, it's a brand name. A Bazooka is a Bazooka™. Anything else is just a bass tube.


















And for the record, the vast majority of pre-fabbed bass enclosures suck donkey cojones.
