How to Select a Bazooka 6-inch Car Subwoofer
Meant to enhance bass in on-road or marine vehicles without much space for a large subwoofer or sound system, a Bazooka six-inch bass tube subwoofer is a more compact alternative to a traditional amplifier. Though it looks small, it offers powerful performance and a user-friendly tube design that installs without hassle.
What Are the Types of Subwoofers?
Choosing an amplified passive-tube subwoofer requires that you weigh several considerations. For instance, you'll need to decide whether you want a single or dual voice coil design, as well as whether you'd prefer an enclosed non-powered tube sub or an enclosed powered tube.
- Choosing between the voice-coil options doesn't have to be difficult when you know what you're looking for. A dual-coil design simply means that you have more options when it comes to wiring your audio, so you can decide how you want to wire your sub, whether it's parallel, independent, or series wiring options.
- Single coil means that there is only one way to wire your Bazooka tube, which is not an issue if the different types of wiring aren't a priority for you.
- When it comes to powered vs. non-powered woofers, powered versions have a built-in amplifier, while non-powered options don't. Enclosed subwoofers give your sub space to safely sit, and they can also shape and boost the sound. Additionally, this brand uses bass tubes to create high-impact sound in a compact and slim design.
What Features Do Subwoofers Have?
You'll want to select a subwoofer not only for sound quality but for other features as well. For instance, you'll need to know how many ohms a speaker offers, what its watts are to determine how powerful it is, and what some of the other features of these passive tube speakers are in order to select the right one.
- Many models in the BT Series offer 100 watts of power, though designs go up to 250 watts.
- Models offer a two-channel amplifier for maximum performance.
- The tube design of the subwoofer means it's meant for corner loading, and the enclosure design maximizes the cone area of the entire woofer, using every inch of the device for added power.
What's Required for Subwoofer Installation?
The brand prides itself on fast and efficient installation. When you purchase a subwoofer kit, you'll get specific pieces of hardware to securely mount your subwoofer to your car and begin enjoying amplified audio in minutes.
- A harness plugs into the tube itself as well as to your vehicle's OE. This is called the F.A.S.T. system.
- Installation hardware like chrome-plated brackets work well for a more permanent mounting situation and provide added security for your bass tube.
- A remote-control module lets you pump up the bass from your seat without issue.
