Amplified subs

Bigviet23 · 12-04-2011, 10:38 AM

Anyone got the infinity or bazooka self powered subs? How are they and got pics?

nismonster · 12-04-2011, 11:39 AM

I got the 250 Watt 6.5 inch bazooka and it is great for being so compact and a great turnkey option for a 200$ sub + box + amp combo. Especially how great it will fit in the area above the spare tire. It will fill in the void of the low frequencies. On some songs, it can actually sound quite good.

However, in all honesty that is all it will do. It will not "bump" like a normal sub, but I've heard the bose system and I'd say it definitely hits harder than the stock bose sub. So for those that don't want anything loud enough to shake the car, but still a healthy amount of bass compared to the base system, it is a great choice.

I'm selling mine btw if you're interested

. (Bazooka BTA6250D) Here's a pic of it. Since this pic it has actually been readjusted, and the cone is now facing towards the driver's side (better fitment).

I just had the Kenwood KSC-SW10 installed, decided against bazooka because of poor sound quality, The Kenwood had a remote to adjust Hz and output, and yes, the Kenwood hits, bumps, AND booms:

I would highly recommend these over the bazooka tubes, they are just to boomy.

It's either powered subs or you could pay $400 to add 35-40 lbs to the upper half of your car. Why would anyone pay to add weight and raise the CG on a Z? Just saying.

Some people are into racing & track and weights' an issue, some people like myself could care less about weight gain and want it loud with a sub or two and amps.

Non powered allow you to choose the amp and create a custom box for them.

They can produce a lot more bass and cleaner bass most of the time.

thanks guys, i'm not sure what i'm going to do, i still have a JL w3 from my old car, might just put that joker in, box is too big tho.

on another note: just got AVH-P2300DVD installed it two days ago was working fine, then try to do the by-pass thing and now the unit won't power on. need help, check the fuse on the back of the HU and the changed the blown fuse in the fuse box and still nothing. What's up with this thing plus switch didn't work.

Sounds like you grounded your bypass wire to your red or yellow wire. It needs to go to black wire which is usually ground.

Color for color (red with red, yellow with yellow...etc)

I just bought the Sound Ordinance compact powered sub, it will fit beneath the seats, real tight, but easily behind the seats. I haven't looked into wiring yet, was going to run the power from the battery through the firewall somewhere, and then connect the rear speakers to the sub. I don't think the stock head unit has low level outputs. I already replaced the door speakers with Boston 6.5s, but the car needs at least some bass. Anybody use this sub? thoughts?

I just ordered the Sound Ordnance powered sub and a 2ch amp from Crutchfield.
It's getting great reviews. Probably be a couple weeks before I get to install. Just something to listen to on the way to and from the track.
