It does not matter if you have a compact Mini Cooper or a full size Chevrolet Suburban, the Bass Tube will give your vehicle low bass that it was lacking with it's factory audio system. When a subwoofer is installed, you will experience a 30% increase in your music. Bass is necessary to complete the sound stage of any listening experience.

Bazooka Bass Tube Unique Features:
Grill
The grill is both decorative and protective, preventing the Subwoofer from accidental damage from other items, such as golf clubs, groceries or book bags that might be tossed into the cargo area where the Bazooka Woofers are
typically mounted.
Woofer
Bazooka's highly efficient, customized woofers are specially designed and reinforced for use in the Bazooka Bass Tube enclosure, producing a pure piston action and generating the maximum bass output possible.
Edge Roll
All Bazooka Woofers used in Bass Tube enclosures feature large, high excursion, lightweight foam edge rolls to maximize their efficiency and overall bass output.
Tube Enclosure
A tube is a natural pressure vessel, and Bass is about pressure. The
patented Bass Tube enclosure creates a natural, uniform, hydraulic
transfer of the Bass energy produced by the woofer.
Port
The port opening between the Tube Enclosure and the Port Tube
allows for efficient transfer of bass. Bass Tubes enclosures utilize "Bass
Reflex" technology to take advantage of both the forward and backward
of the woofer, wasting no bass energy.
Port Tube
The bass energy created by both the forward and backward motion
of the woofer are time aligned so that 100% of the woofer's output is
concentrated into one output point.
Acoustic Damping Fiber
The acoustic damping material helps lower the resonance of the
enclosure and simulates an increased air space.
Integrated Amplifier
The integrated amplifiers are performance matched to the specific woofers used in Bass Tube enclosures to ensure that every watt of
power is efficiently turned into bass performance. Having the amplifier integrated into the enclosure simplifies the installation and eliminates
power loss.
Corner Loading
Bass Tube enclosures are specifically designed to take advantage of
the natural amplification characteristics that occur when a subwoofer
is placed into the corner of a vehicle. The corner acts like a megaphone,
substantially increasing bass performance.
Double Down
While this single amplified tube will surely deliver the goods, if just
want more bass, simply connect a Passive Tube (sold separately) to
the optional speaker level output and double your bass output.

How Do I Install a Bazooka Bass Tube?
Installation is Simple! The bass tube comes with straps to keep the sub securely mounted, while still making removal quick and easy if you need even more cargo room. Optional Chrome-Plated UMS Brackets give a flashier look, as well as a more secure, permanent mounting when removal isn't a problem.

For me, the Bazooka 8250 was the perfect choice. I drive a Subaru Outback, and as an entertainer, the back of my car is always loaded with equipment. So I needed something powerful but with a small footprint. The 8250 delivers in a big way!
Even with only an 8 inch speaker, it fills out the bottom of my music nicely. My teenage boys like to listen to a 'rap' station on the XM radio. And while I don't enjoy that type of music, it is cool to see my rear view mirror quiver about everytime the Bazooka hits the lows.
I am very pleased with my BTA8250D so far. Sonic Electronix had one of the best prices on the web and they delivered the product quickly. If you are an audiophile or drive around with tinted windows looking to rattle the rear view mirror in other people's cars, this may not be for you. But if you are a regular guy looking for a nice, deep, punchy sub at a reasonable price, this may definitely be what you're looking for.

Positive:
1. The only device that you can buy and install right away in almost any car. The amplifier is built-in and that's really good for cars with limited space like mine. I'm using it in Honda Odyssey EXL 2002, the sub is installed between driver seat and right front passenger seat. The space under table is more than enough to get it installed.
2. Excellent frequency range. I use it for classical, new age, country, rock and some other styles. Sounds very solid if you don't want it to sound extra loudly, which is not required.
3. Having a remote is a must since the frequency range values from album to album and, instead of changing the player settings or even worse, using the back screws on the sub, the remote gives a very simple and convenient way to change two most valuable parameters of the sub on the fly.
Negative:
1. The installation in Honda Odyssey required a few pieces of velcro. I fixed the sub to the driver seat. The straps were worthless since there is no way to screw them down the floor or to attach to the seat.
2. The promised frequency range - 30+ Hz is probably incorrect. I suspect this device is able to reproduce much lower frequencies, and I personally don't like that. You can use the fingers to feel how it works with different frequences even if you don't hear the sound. I'd honestly prefer this sub has a low frequency filter to kill the very low frequences, dangerous for the health. The range of frequences to be filtered out should be 0-20 Hz and it should be permanent. Right now this device is more than enough to get a strong headache after a 15-20 minutes usage at medium volumes. I got a 100% correlation after couple weeks of listening, so there is no mistake, I'm positive. I'm happy that I didn't buy the dual device because I could not install it in my Honda and it would be even more dangerous for the health for sure.
Recommendation:
I'm honestly not sure if it makes sense to buy this device since it has no low frequency filter. Maybe my sub is defective, but it's rather by design. So if you don't care of headache, maybe it's only my personal issue, then you're ok to go. My Kenwood HD545U has a very good frequency range and maybe I'm facing this problem having this combination of devices with almost unlimited range.

its amazing how much bass comes from a small tube. when i have the volume up half way, my trunk rattles (99' Altima) so it gets the job done. But you cant take this to a bass competition, you will lose.

I wasn't looking to impress the neighbors by rattling their windows. I was simply wanting something to fill in the low end that my stock speaker system lacked. It also needed to fit under the back seat of my GMC Sierra extended cab pickup. The Bazooka 8" tube was just the right size at the right price so I ordered the 100 watt version. However, after notifying me that they were back ordered, Sonic offered me a significant discount on this 200 watt version. I'm so glad I got the 200 watt tube! It has the perfect punch and a very defined bass response...not muddy at all. The controls are simple. I cross mine over as high as it will cross and turn the adjustable volume all the way up. Then I control the amount of bass with my aftermarket JVC receiver. Even the installation was easy. I would highly recommend the BTA8250D. Some of the best money I've ever spent!
