Thumbs up Bazooka

Todd - The Bazooka Tube ( haven't any experience with an Omega brand tube ) is good when used for what it's designed for & that's adding some low frequencies to a stock system. Not much quality there as the bass is somewhat muddy ( whether U use the amplified or non-amplified Tube but what do ya expect from a bandpass:eek: ). It's EZ to remove when U need the trunk space as well. I've run multiple tubes ( as many as ( 8 ) 10" non-amplified Tubes & they will make some pressure ) but there wasn't alot of SQ. But hey, U can't beat that price!! Try it & U can always upgrade later.

Thanks for the reply. Well i installed and it made a big difference before when i would crank it up it would lose the bass now i have plenty. I wanted to ask you a question i have a 93 es300 it has a stock amp is the gain adjustable or is it just preset i seen the speakers and their pioneer. Thanks.

Question Don't Think So

Todd - Never did a system in an ES but I would think that's it's like the outboard GS amp & has non-adjustable gains. Besides, in that pitiful little amp a gain control wouldn't make much difference!!
