lol @ the bazooka tube. Didn't even know they made those anymore.

The exterior is in great condition. Nice color choice..

How do you like the Bazooka tube? I know a lot of people will probably say to go and do your own enclosure, or go with another company, etc, but I do like the form factor / compact size and built in amp of the Bazooka.

FYI there's a build section for members at the top of this forum. Keep us posted!

edit- See? Told you! Lol.

Haha, I have no idea when Bazooka tubes first came out, but they're still alive I guess! The exterior is in pretty good condition because it's been garaged and barely driven. I bought it at 28K and had my mom drive it from Vegas. It's at 31k after the drive. 2005 and 31k miles... that's less than 4000 miles a year haha

Lol, I was going off Amazon's best sellers. I was thinking about MTX Terminators, but it seemed way too much for my liking. I actually like the bazooka tube, but I've never had a sound system, so it beats whatever I had before. The things I like about it would be that it's simple and and not overwhelming. Set-up wasn't hard and it hooks up to your factory system, which I have. It's kind of ghetto but works. I like the size to power ratio. It's a nice kick.

Sick bazooka tube bro...

[phuviano]

Paint looks amazing. Mine looks like crap, well at least the front of my car does. Good start so far.

[Tsoi]

It's easier to install on aftermarket stereos, which I don't have. It wasn't that hard for factory radios though.
