Bazooka BT8014

nice deal

wonderful warm sound from this unit. all in one is great and makes for an easy instalation, not the loudest but great for a regular cab truck. hit harder then my 10's though.
also it withstood a major car accident with no damage.

Boom, Boom, Boom!!!

Perfect for my 2002 GTI

Great Sub

Sounds good

Good Quality

although is not a bad a**, bass monster is fair, it distorts a little when I pump low bass with my amplifier, but its still fair sound inside the car is good.

ZThis sub has a big kick for its small package. Great bang for your buck.

Surprising sounds for the seasoned ear

As an electronic and acoustic engineer I have had many systems in my vehicles for the last twenty years. Every brand of subwoofers has been tested and it has to be said that products from the JL stable have been my favorite listen for some time now.
Just their shear ability to play hard, go ridiculously low and sound so musical and accurate make them a great listen, especially my favourite a 15w3v2 in a ported 3cu Ft enclosure.
On a trip of nostalgia I spotted two 8" bazooka tube's BT8014's the unamplified versions going cheap on ebay!
Although already very happy with my current alpine / jl setup, I decided to buy the two tubes not wanting to turn down what seemed like a veritable bargain.
The tubes are very tiny and lightweight due to the all plastic tube design. On removing the drive unit, the inside consists of a vented tube, a piece of loft insulation and an inductor coil which is wired in series onto the speaker wires.
With the coils in place and running from an active JL 500/1 the speakers sound muddy and underwhelming. By removing these basic 6db crossover coils, the speakers really seemed a lot more bright and forward sounding.
Two of these placed inside a renault kangoo van, not corner loaded but placed parallel vents facing forward. The sound produced was startling strong deep controlled punchy bass.
Not bad for two 8" cheapo drivers rated at 100watts running in parallel from a 500watt JL amp!
No hint of distortion and lots of clean punchy multi note bass.
Okay no match for my favourite 15" JL, but great for a good bass injection without disturbing the neighborhood.
My value rating of 5* is based upon the low price these are available at!
These days for not a lot of money its possible to buy very cheap speakers which sound great in a simple mdf box.
But for the size and shear performance on offer these 'back in the day - tubes' are still a great purchase at the right price...

Perfect fit, great sound, at the right price.

I purchased this specific model due to available space in the back of an old jeep wrangler, and because the price was right. . It fit extremely well, and much to my surprise the sound quality was just perfect for this size vehicle. Solid, but not overpowering, but I also know I could blow the doors off whoever pulls up next to me, and tries to share their unsolicited music with me. Great sound for the price, and arrived quick too.

Great Value

I bought the Bazooka BT8014 for my son. He wanted a subwoofer for his single cab pick-up but didn't have the room. This turned out to be a great alternative and was easy for him to install. He enjoys it very much.

Awesome sound

If you have a Pickup Truck this is the way to go!..takes up NO room at all fits under the seat...has tremendous sound, great low end!

Good value!

I bought a Bazooka 8 in. speaker and really liked that it fits almost anywhere and doesnt take up much space the cons on the speaker is that it keeps on rolling in my trunk i really dont know if they come with some kind of harness or straps to it but didnt see that in the box.
