Voltage The difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit. Think of it as the "push" or pressure behind current flow through a circuit, similar to water pressure in a pipe.

Use our F. Great for leased vehicles, the our F. As with all Bazooka Bass Tubes Enclosures , the TAC comes with straps to keep the sub securely mounted, while still making removal quick and easy if you need even more cargo room.

Optional Chrome-Plated UMS Brackets give a flashier look , as well as a more secure, permanent mounting when removal isn't a problem. This comes with a harness connector that patches into an amp that's wired to the battery. If you've got the amp, I don't think you need anything further.

Yep, the wiring kit that comes with it is all you need. It piggy backs your radio wires for power and sound. Then you have to ground it in your trunk at the other end of the wire harness. If you have trouble with the wire colors in your car not matching up with the bazooka wire kit, just email crutchfield with your make model and year of car and they'll tell you which wires are which.

You should not have a problem what so ever. The unit comes with detailed instructions on how to hook the wiring into the factory system. I installed the Bazooka tube on my wife's Malibu with ease. Helpful hint: Figure out where you are going to place the tube, run your wiring first, make your splice connections with the supplied materials, then mount and plug in the tube. In the Malibu, I was able to go beside the transmission hump, under the carpet to the driver door jamb, under the door still plastic to the rear floor board, pulled the bottom of the back seat out, ran across the bottom of the seat tub, and stopped at my connection point in the trunk.

You should have well enough length in wiring. Leave yourself some slack as well, just tuck it under the back seat before snapping it back into place. If you have any experience with car audio wiring is a breeze. Don't let it intimidate you.

Also, as far as running the wire, take your time and be patient. Don't get too aggressive removing the trim it simply pulls off and clips right back on. I hope this helps. Hint 2: Play with the gain on the tube to get the desired sound.

Your not going to wake the neighbors, but this thing will add that extra bass most all factory systems lack. I love it. You will want to contact an Advisor by phone or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system.

They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you. Hope that helps! If you purchased your sub from Crutchfield, feel free to contact our Tech Support team.

They can walk you through the different connections. With the supplied wiring, installation is an ease if you have any car audio knowledge and read the directions. If anything is difficult, it would be routing the wires to keep them hidden. Begin routing behind your factory head unit until you reach the location you intend on mounting the tube, then begin hooking up your wiring and mounting your tube.

You should have no problems. The speaker includes an universal harness that is extremely easy to add to any factory stereo. Amp is built in so you don't have to add one. This saves space in your trunk. Good luck! Spend the extra money and get the specific wiring harness for your car [ Daniel May 27, ]. It literally taps directly into the power and audio lines of your current harness.

I've had a few of these units. If you use the fast connect properly , the bazooka will be protected by the head unit fuse since it connects into the head units power wire. No need to worry about dead battery in the morning. The bazookas have an automatic shut off once there is no signal being sent to it. You'll probably notice that it takes the bazooka a few seconds to kick in when you first turn the head unit on.

I connected fine without any connection to the battery. Worked just fine and never had any issues with battery drainage. Yes [ Daniel May 27, ]. You will still need to power the sub. Use only RCA cables with mine and did not work.

The factory wiring kit is pretty striaght forward [ michael Nov 04, ]. For details on fit or installation please contact an Advisor by phone or online chat. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you the details on if this will fit and what you will need for an installation in your vehicle. Yes you will need to tie it into the harness wires, although the only ones I needed were the ground black , power red , and controller blue. The others are if you want to use speaker wires for different output settings, they are not needed if you use RCA wires.

I used the wiring harness that is supplied with the bazooka bass tube, works great, easy installation! NO, I would not use this in a marine application. The woofer itself is a paper material and the electronics probably wouldn't hold up long term with the moisture. Hello Scott, If your amp draw from the head unit and sub at rated max output do not exceed the rated amp on the fuse, you will be ok doing this.

I how ever have an aftermarket head unit that controls the sub. The factory wire harness in my vehicle which already had an amp from the factory has a separate hot lead from the fuse box along with the head unit lead for powering a separate amp so I did not need to hook up a separate wire for the sub. If you do not have this style, you will need to hook up to a separate power lead from the fuse box or battery to power your sub. Hi Scott, I have seen online that people have wired the power both ways with good results.

I was skeptical about pairing it to the head unit since it's rated max draw and fusing didn't leave much room and the wiring wasn't accessable once in place to see if it was getting too hot and might cause a problem so I opted for the safest way with a 10 amp fuse at the battery to the bazooka power supply. That way if anything ever happens to the hot lead and it shorts it will blow the fuse at the battery and not harm anything else the old smoking wire under the dash because they were fused at that end and not the battery eventually rubbing up against something exposing the insulation and poof.

Installing your own bass tube can be challenging, but if you are willing to invest some time in the project it can be done.

Choose a spot in the back of your vehicle where you want to install the Bazooka system. The tube is generally installed in the trunk or back floorboard. Try to keep the end of the tube 4 inches from a wall. Check for electrical wiring or fuel lines running beneath the floor where you plan to install your tube.

You will be screwing brackets into the floor. Hitting a fuel line or electrical wire can do major damage.

If you find a wire or fuel line, you will either need to move it aside or choose a new mounting spot. Loop the provided strap through the mounting base. The strap will feed through one end of the brace, across the length of the brace and out the other end.
