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.

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.

I purchased an 8" Bass Tube by Bazooka and it was the best thing I've done for my truck audio. It enhances the bottom end greatly and you can adjust the amount of bass from woofier to tight very easily. Also, the convenience factor was huge, because my installer installed it and my new stereo deck w/ ipod input cable in less than 2 hours. I thank you Sonic Electronix for giving me the option to purchase products outside the usual B*st B*y.
Thanks again!

Bought this for an FJ cruiser. I love the performance. I did not and don't intend on blowing out my neighbors windows....just wanted to add some rich base to my stock system and this tube definitely does that job. I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to those who share my purpose but not to those who are looking to add to a "high end" system.

My first pre-amped speaker. I liked the format of it. Could use more amperage because it's in the trunk. It would sound a lot better if it were sitting in the back seat. Sounds great when parked with the trunk open though.
