Wrangler Subwoofer Wiring

Review by Mike Shearing "Travelin Man" : Boom Boom... Look At My Car!!

Incredible!! Bazooka has come up with a winning active (powered) or passive subwofer for us people who aren't into car audio competition or jiggling the license plate bolts out of the back of our cars. In other words, a sub for us "in betweens." I love the response from these and the fact that I can wedge them just about anywhere in my cars or trucks makes them especially appealing. I have bought three of them so far. One in the back of a pick up I own, the other in the back of a 2000 Camaro B4C and the other, the third in the back of my 1999 Toyota 4 Runner. This one is under the cargo cover, hidden from prying eyes. These Bazooka subs are an awesome piece for the price. Truly a prize winning sub for us "other people." Thanks for the deal Amazon!

Review by Eric W. Sheridan : Bazooka Tube A+

I have to say of all of the audio equipment that i have put in my car this is the best decision i have made. I have had everything and i went through a juvenile phase with my tricked out Camry, but when i got my Saab i decided i wanted to be classy and not have wires everywhere and have nice clean system. This product is a great compliment to my system, and if your like i am and want a great product without the mess and obnoxious glass shattering bass, but a product with impeccable sound quality i would buy this product,... and i did.

Review by MrRogers "Agent Smith" : Great product

If you are looking to disturb other people at red lights or while driving through neighborhoods, this is not for you. If you are looking to add some bass to your pre-existing stereo system without using up alot of space and at the same time have a hassle-free installation, then the bazooka tube is just what you need. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was I had to find the wire diagram online as it was not included in the box. Other than that, it's a great product.

Review by Ruud Roney : Great, clean bass! More than enough for 2000 jeep cherokee.

I purchased this amped sub for my 2000 Jeep Cherokee and have been greatly surprised. I figured the sub would give me a little bass to make up for my Alpine 5 1/4's that sound great, but lack bass. In fact the sub set up easily and was much more than bass than I needed. I have the amp gain down to about 1/4 and am still getting a great sound!

Review by A worker : 50W? Definitely not!

Bought a 2003 Corolla S to be my child's first car. Decided the stereo needs to replace right after drove back home. Budget and some level of quality were the goal. First, bought and installed a Dual XDMA-6415 (87 bucks including dash kit and harness here) bluetooth head unit. Stereo immediately turned clear and crisp especially front 6.5" factory component due to the Dual's CEA-2006 RMS 17Wx4 output. Found rear 6x9 has some room to improve. Bought and installed Orion CO690 (33 bucks at Frys). Test drive many times and confirmed no amp and no aftermarket front components are needed in near future since now the high, middle, and even mid-bass are ok.Now turned to low end bass. We only listen to soft rock and classic music and wanted an easy and inexpensive setup. No strong window shaking bass is needed. Bought this Bazooka (99 bucks factory refurbished here) and installed it to trunk. Use front speakers' signal and head unit's power. The bass is loud and deep, cannot believe its amp is only 50W. Spent 219 bucks for the whole thing and now the car stereo from low to high is quite different from before. For the sound quality and cost I'm satisfied with this Bazooka BTA850FH.

Review by B. Dawson : Great Sub and Easy Install

This sub has far surpassed my expectations. I am a tech guru and have done many car installs of equipment. I also work on computers along guitar, amplifier and effects products so I would say I have much more knowledge than your average electronic person. The install would be cinch for anyone who has ever installed any amplifier system in a car and maybe even those that haven't ever installed. The FAST harness is quick and simple. You just look up your cars wiring and match up the labeled wires to the right color wires in your car. After that you can run the wire under your door sills and along the paneling back to the sub. It's one sealed group of wires and can provide a very clean look. By not having to drill through the firewall and just tapping the wires to the receiver, this is so amazing. I have a 2011 Eclipse and I bolted the Bazooka Tube in the trunk facing toward the rear wall. It looks very clean. I was very skeptical of the 50 watt version(almost made the jump to 100w) but I am pleasantly surprised. Keep in mind the Eclipse has an open hatchback so the sub doesn't need much to be loud and the car already had a decent set of speakers in it stock. It has plenty of bump for me now(I mainly listen to classic rock and modern rock). It can't handle deep bass(I think the cutoff is around 40hz) but it can definitely enhance your system. In my 2000 Accord, which was totaled recently, I had an 800w RMS Kenwood amp feeding a JL 10w7 and while its nothing compared to that, it holds its own very much for ease of installation, sound quality and most importantly price. At $125 and a mere 30 minutes to install this is well worth the $$$. Good job Bazooka, as this is my first Bazooka product, I am pleasantly blown away by this experience.

Review by mcewen_tyler : must have for any mid size truck owner

best purchase ive made for my truck so far. im an 18 year old guy who likes heavy metal and rap. so i needed something to boost my xplode speakers and radio. my dilema. i drive a 99 nissan frontier, not exactly alot of room, plus id never installed a sub/ amp. was the easiest thing ever. it took me about two and a half hours but that was while messin around with friends. sounds perfect in my little truck and fits perfectly in my extended cab with plenty of room left. sounds like i have a twelve in the back. MUST HAVE!

Review by Gadgets on a budget : Truly enjoyable!

When I was thinking of getting a bazooka I wondered how different the sound was between the 50 watt and the 100 watt self amped bazookas. I had read that the 6inch model was the most melodic and the 10 inch the boomiest and the 8 inch the so called best of both worlds. I knew 8 inch was what I wanted since I like a wide range of music. However I could only afford the 50 watt model and when I got it I loved it. I've had it for two years and have totally enjoyed it and so has my family and friends. I've always wanted to know how the bta8100 sounded since I had already self installed the 50 watt model and only had to plug and secure it with the straps to find out. I have this in a 1999 Honda accord ex with a factory radio and IPod connection through the CD changer port. I also have Alpine 6 1/2 s-series front speakers and 6x9 alpine rear speakers along with the factory mounted tweeters.I went back and forth allot trying to decide if I should upgrade to this sub since the other one still worked fine. The 50 watt model sounded good and was loud on hip hop and bass heavy r&b, reggae and rock. However on songs with acoustic bass lines I would either have to increase the volume or bass lever on my car.Now I can hear the bass much louder and it is noticeably deeper and more defined in songs with intricate bass lines. As result I can leave my bass dial on zero and allowing my other speakers to play mids and highs, which they do great.I can feel bass hitting harder and tad bit more accurate. I am truly happy I upgraded. I hope this review helps those deciding between these models choose.I must say I am no techy audio installer but I am so happy that I saved a ton following the instructions. If you need help Bazooka's customer service and tech support are excellent.

Review by Shawn Wamsley "Shawn" : Excellent Solution For Small Spaces

I have owned this product for nearly six months, and I am quite satisfied with it. I have had no problems with quality of workmanship, parts, performance, or reliability (though, I should note that the unit turns off if the stereo is not turned up past a certain volume level, which is something I wasn't expecting for some reason). Readers should be aware that I have a low technical knowledge of electronics, and audio equipment; and while I play the bass and love music, I am not an accomplished musician or expert in sound quality either. First, I installed the unit myself. I purchased an additional kit in order to have adequate quality and length for the cables running from the back of the Bazooka unit (A/V and power) to the back of an after market Kenwood deck (and the battery, in the case of the power cable). Set up and installation were not difficult for me, though, I can see why someone not inclined to fiddle with things themselves would want to have it installed. Second, this is literally one of the only units that would fit in my 97 Nissan, single cab pickup. The seat is pulled way forward, and the unit barely fits- but it's in there. Third, I listen to all genres of music, and I feel like this unit adds the needed depth to most musical experiences. However, it should be noted that this is not a "bass system" in the sense that most people are hoping. It fills the cab of my truck with sound, I can feel it vibrating the back of my seat and see it vibrating the mirrors, but it is not the kind of gut rattling - stare inducing - wall of sound, bass for which many enthusiasts are looking. I love to listen to hip-hop, pop, and rap music. However, this unit does not necessarily do those genres justice. Is it better than door mounted speakers alone? Absolutely. Will people in the cars next to you at stop lights be able to tell what you are listening to? Nah. So, here is the bottom line. People that purchase these speakers should have reasonable expectations about what this unit will accomplish. It will add the much needed "lower end" to the music you enjoy. It is likely to keep up with the output of your deck and other speakers. It is convenient because it fits in small vehicles and does not require an amplifier. Buyers should note that this unit will be a huge disappointment if you are looking for something to carry a "bass system." It will not give you either the volume or the ultra low range of bass that is necessary to enjoy certain types of hip-hop and rap. This unit has been well worth the money I paid for it, both in its reliability and in its quality performance. Five stars..

Review by Julie Dana : small but packs a big punch

i give this subwoofer 2 enthusiastic thumbs up! my last several cars have been equipped with outstanding sound systems and i got rather spoiled. when i purchased a new car last month, i found the sound to be shallow. being a "girl" i did not know what to purchase to make the sound richer and fuller. i asked around and a sound technician suggested this subwoofer. i did some more research and went ahead and ordered this bazooka. WOW!!! what a difference it made. it was installed by a professional in a couple of hours and i could hear the bass pumping as i walked back to the garage where it was being installed. i DID NOT want window rattling teenage bass, but a fuller richer more crisp sound. the bass from this bazooka enriched the sound, and even brought out the highs of the treble in the the sound system and improved the sound wonderfully overall. i promised myself that i would write a review so any other 30something or 40something female with the same dilema would be able to make a quick easy decision and be on her merry way without all the time i spent researching and holding my breath! ps: the bazooka subwoofer was installed in the trunk of my car which is a small 4 seater convertible with a small trunk. it does not inhibit the movement or storage of the top and i still have trunk space for shopping bags! enjoy.....

Review by Waylon Bell : Awesome!!!!

I listen to contemporary christian rock music and classic rock such as Bon Jovi, Whitesnack, Def leppared and AC/DC. I was looking for something to fill in the low end of the sound sprectrum of my factory JBL sound system. This Bazooka tube fit perfectly. I now have a balanced sound system in my Toyota 4-runner. I have the Bazooka tube's gain set at a 1/3 of the way up and highs and mids going to the 6 factory speakers and I have to say it sounds awesome. Perfect. I have gotten compliments from everyone that has set in my SUV. They all have been very impressed with the output of this sub and the factory sound system. If you are looking for something to rattle windows this isn't for you. If you are wanting everyone at every stop light to hear you than this isn't for you but if you are looking for something to fill in those low notes that your coaxial speakers will not reproduce and give you a sound as if your sitting at a concert than you will probably not do better than this product. I will also say that you will not find a better place to buy this sub from than Amazon.com..
