bazooka

[no1of consequence]

i just caught this - IMO i would steer clear of the bazooka. even a 1/2way
decent 12" woofer [$150 JL auidio] in a small sealed prefab box [75$ for a
3/4 mdf enclosure at most car audio shops] with a 200w amp [basic mono job
with crossover] would SLAM over a zookatoob. i see pretty good used amp
deals on ebay..

i dont want to rile the guys who use/like them, but if you like music with
any depth of bass [which means anythign except boys choral] or like to
listen at higher volume you will get VASTLY better articulation and 'punch'
with a real sub over a bazooka. ive heard zookas sound ok in small
hatchbacks but they dont [cant] make any low bass, they just make lots of
upper bass [80-120 hz] that most people think is bass [cabin gains
notwithstanding]. granted in the trunk of a 5k it will have more bass than
you do with no woofer. but the step to separate amp/woofer is kind of iike
going from a receiver to separate amp/preamp.

spend the $ on a woofer + amp. youll be happier. the point abotu the
tanklike trunk is valid, tho not the the degree it would be in an sclass
benz or 740 beemer. cux if that were the case you would throw $10g worth of
nakamichi and ADS at the problem.. ;)

hth,
jim
