Bazooka MBTA10250D Marine 10-Inch 250 Watt Pre Loaded Bass Tube

love it. decent price. Doesn't hit like a 10 or 12inch. Will not compete with a custom system but its great sound. I bought for a pontoon and mounted it under the steering column. Just fits and easy install with the amp built in. Plenty loud will make some other people mad with how loud. lol

If you're a Jeeper, this is a must. I have a 2009 2Dx with a soft top. I am a music junky, so all of my tunes have to be crisp, clear, and every tone heard. For anyone with a Jeep, you know that lower end sounds are tough to get with the stock speakers and no factory sub. One of the first 'mods' that I did was upgrade the sound bar speakers. Boy, did that make a difference. I knew I wanted a sub, and the fact that this is waterproof, just makes it all the sweeter. You don't have to worry about taking off the top and have unexpected showers. Last week I took the rig out with no doors and no top. Throughout the course of the day, we had over 4" of rain. I drove around town with a friend wearing snorkels and dive masks, while still blaring my tunes. Top down? Not a problem. You can still hear the bass crisp and clear. (Obvious loss in sound due to the lack of enclosure and road noise, but still very present) If you decide to get a bass knob for volume control, do some research. If you have an aftermarket head unit, odds are it has subwoofer control right at your fingertips, and the $30 for a bass knob is wasted money. If you DO decide to get one, make sure the connection from the wire of the knob to the sub itself is a "telephone jack" type connection. NOT the headphone jack type. I made that mistake. HUGE basketball "punch" sound. It's clean, no overtones or vibrations. Easy install, and no problems so far.

I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS BUT FELT I NEEDED TO FOR THIS. I HAVE WENT THROUGH 2 OF THE BUILT IN AMPS ON THE TUBE AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON THE 3RD IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I READ THE REVIEWS AND SAW A FEW THAT SAID THE AMPS HAD WENT OUT ON THEM. STUFF HAPPENS, I GET IT. THOUGHT I WOULD STILL GIVE IT A TRY. HOOKED IT UP IN MY BOAT, SOUNDED GREAT FOR 1 DAY. CALLED AND GOT A RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER AND SENT IT BACK. 2 WEEKS LATER I GET A NEW ONE. HOOK IT UP, SOUNDS GREAT USED IT 2 MORE TIMES ON MY BOAT BEFORE I PUT IT UP FOR THE WINTER. GOT IN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR TURNED IT ON AND GUESS WHAT. QUIT AGAIN. ALL OF MY OTHER AMPS, TOWER SPEAKERS, AND CABIN SPEAKERS WERE INSTALLED AT THE SAME TIME AT NOT ONE PROBLEM!! BAZOOKA OFFERS A 1 YEAR WARRANTY AND MINE EXPIRES IN 2 WEEKS. I DO NOT SEE THIS 3RD AMP LASTING SO NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE 3RD ONE GOES OUT. I GUESS I AM PRETTY MUCH SCREWED AT THIS POINT! BOTTOM LINE IS DO NOT GET THE POWERED BAZOOKA! MAY BE SAFE WITH THE PASSIVE TUBE, BUT AT THIS POINT WHY TAKE A CHANCE ?

7/15/2012 I have to say the reviews I read on this made me think Ok this should do it but I had to hear it for my self. Last night mission accomplished, I had no idea. This thing is absolutely amazing and it thumps. Anyone who wrote a bad review is either deaf or works for a competitor. The power and bass u can hear and feel is sick. I have been wanting this and wish I had it sooner. My boat is a 1987 22 ft sea ray cuddy cabin, the main cockpit is very spacious I put the sub under the front passenger seat. I was worried the sound may be lost under the seat, but honestly the sound quality is still very good and fills the boat nicely. Another added bonus, is that there is a green LED light near the gain and crossover which surprisingly provided enough light to adjust the settings on the water in the dark My system consists of a pioneer head unit 50watt x 4. I do not have an amp running the speakers which are the SPS-M600 - Alpine 6.5" 110 Watts 2-Way Marine Speakers, (I reviewed those as well) I have four of these on the pioneer head unit. Once I added this tube the increase of overall sound quality and volume is tremendous. I agree with bazooka I was missing 30% of my music. I adjusted the bass mid and treble on the head unit then tweaked the bass tube to fill the low end sound out and presto! My system has never sounded better. This was exactly what my boat needed and I am not disappointed. Btw I listen to metal, death metal, techno, rap, dance etc. It all sounds good!!!!! BTW I posted pics as well!

This works ok in our pontoon boat. However, I would recomend going with a larger or two of these for a pontoon boat. We will be moving this to our mastercraft speed boat, which I think it is the perfect size for. Buy an amp wiring kit to make it easier on your self. Sound is good when installed, do not turn it up all the way as it is easy to run it into distortion.

Put this in my boat and sounds like a entire new system...installed on floor in one of the compartments and full sound!! Didnt change anything else, had 4x40watt speakers but were too tinny sounding on the water...this thing did the trick..amazing bass and full sound now...powers on when I turn tuner on, level adjusts nicely with the turner bass levels (although you can adjust on tube as well I never have to touch it..only time I turn level up or down a notch is older recordings can take full level, newer stuff doesnt need full level)..Love it!

Ok so first off I definitely was sceptical about how good of bass this thing was gonna have and the fact that it was 500 bucks but I was not disappointed So my package was lost and I had already been waiting for 2 weeks called amazon and they shipped a new one out right away which I got in a couple of days,no big deal I currently had a 10 sub with a 500 watt amp in my 4 seater side by side but the sub was starting to frap out a bit and had a not very clear bass sound anymore but it was super loud and did pound so I was really curious to see if this bass tube was going to come close seeing as it’s less wattage And it was not a marine sub and the amp was mounted to the back of the box, not ideal for a lot of ,Moisture and the amount of water holes I take my side by side on...... So anyways Hooked the bass tube up and wow..... very impressed and the bass is very clear and deep, and is way louder than my other setup Defently one of my better phurchases on amazon and I’m super happy with it!!!!!!!!!!!
