dont do it...if you want a little bass go get a good brand 12" sub in a nice box with a nice amp, that will make you MUCH happyer then the nos things, you will regreat you decision if you get one

Sensitivity: 120dB
^whoa, that's really high isn't it? I know my Perfect 12.1 is up there and I think it's like 96dB or something like that.

Gotta remember that that's in dB too... In decimal that's like:

Bazooka = 1,000,000
Perfect = 63,000 and change

What guys? 120db is nothing when ya got the thump of NAWZ in your trunk, especially with the power of the bazooka tube.

amg how did you come to that decimal number? All of my years I'v never seen the db scale converted to a decimal, assuming its something to do with logarithms

bazooka shows up in my what not to buy. so there is your answer... I personaly hate bass tubes as it is ..but bazooka makes really really crap stuff. and your talking like 80 db at most.

dB = 20log(decimal)

so:

decimal = 10^(dB/20)

If you are somebody who really doesnt care what your bass sounds like then yeah, go for it. But in all seriousness....Dont.

You would be much happier just replacing you speakers all the way around....it would probably give you just as much if not more bass than one of the bazooka tubes would, plus it would sound WAY better. Just go with a 12" Kappa or new Type R...they arent too expensive and will sound good and hit hard.

No they are not amplified.

I have probably installed about a dozen of them on they are truely unimpressive to me. I have ran alot of nitrous in my day so I am very familiar with real bottles and it looks nothing like a real one. It is much much bigger, and the chrome handle on them is actually cheap chrome plastic. The wires come out of the nozzle, but the steel braid stuff it comes with is very cheap and thin and it is easy to tell it is wires.

Besides all that, it pretty much sounds like a Bazooka bass tube.
