Hi All,
I am thinkin of gettin a Sub, like the idea of a cannon/tube style enclosed sub. What is a good one to buy. Have any of you got one installed..what do you guys think.
Thanks,
Preetham

I've heard them;

For me, the SQ isn't that great and the SPL also leaves much to be desired. They're just eh subs- great for compact areas however and the tubes look great tho!

well ....bazooka is the main brand i think....

yeah they arent all that great...they give you that extra bass but
i had one with a 8" sub and it wasnt anything as good as other 8's i seen in
mdf boxes...

IMO they dont even look all that great...best one i seen was the was the SAS tube that looks like a noz tank....even thats hurting...

iv taken out the rear seat n am looking to install the sub in place of the seat....
So far i have found 2 subs: Rockford Single Ported 8" Punch HE Amplified Subwoofer and the Bazooka BTA8200.
Are there any out there, has anybody installed one..
Would these tube ones be good to install in the interior of the car...or would a regular boxed one be worth the money...the tube ones look kool though..

The tube ones do look cool- but they usually aren't worth the money. If you've taken out the rear seat you have so much room to play with. Goto a stereo shop and LISTEN to them for yourself with different knds of music

if you build the box the right specs your sub need ...
a mdf box is going to sound alot better...but it isnt going to look as good
might wanna try some fiberglass....that has both looks and sound...
i know some one on here has a tringle one install..not sure who is was tho

how do we know what the right specs for the subs are?
(size? shape? volume?)

if you bought your sub brand new then it should tell you a recomened specs...unless you got a sub some where else...you can go on there site and look for it or ask them...thats volume wise....dont know what you mean by size and shape....doesnt really matter what its shaped like as long as you have the right volume...most people just have boxes cuz its the easier way to get the volume...

What do you think is the best size for a sub in a celica? I was thinking a 10" or maybe even a 12". What do you guys think? I'd probably build my own mdf box. I just started thinking about it so im not sure about dimensions, size, or even quality yet. Just looking for some advice. Thanks.

both a 10 and 12 will do you good....all matter how much money you want to spend for a sub...how much power you going to run to it...but yeah both will work fine

When picking out a sub size, what matters most is what you LISTEN to.. so, what do you listen to? Smaller is better for faster beats (rock, techno, etc) while larger is better for rap, hip hop. etc

Yea I know the type of music makes a diffrence. Thats why it's going to be hard to pick one out since I listen to a little of everything. I mainly listen to rock and rap but then I go to a place known for its agriculture college so I listen to a little country too. I listen to everything so I'd need a good all around sub. I'm also looking at around 500 watts maybe. This is still very early in the planning so...

well...infinity/JL/dimond audio those are a few name brands that have good sound and will give you a bump too....do you want 500 max or rms?
i would go with 12 ..but thats just me

I'd like to go with 500w rms, max would be ok but I'd like a little more power than that. I like Infinity and JL but I think they might be a little high for my college student budget.

A smaller sub would be better for you it sounds like, 10 incher.

yeah then go with a 10 inch since you going to get a little better for the money

a 10" sub will give you better response with tight bass. a 12" will give you the same effect with more bass. if you want a single sub and want to save room but be heard id go with a 12". while a 10" might do you just fine, the more surface area the louder the sub will be. pairing two 10"s against one 12"(same sub) the two 10"s will be louder. anyway. brands too look at are JL(w3 or higher), Adire Audio, Resonant Engineering, Kicker(comp vr), Memphis, CDT, Focal, Arc Audio. also when looking at subs or amps, the max power rating doesnt mean anything. look at the rms of a sub. if you have a "1000watt max! sub" and it only handles 250rms and you put a 1000rms amp to it, you will fry the sub. in the end it is all up to you. anyway id look into Adire and Resonant Engineering.
