Audio question Bazookas

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

In one Scirocco I have a Kicker Substation (internal amp=crap) and I have a 
6" (I think) Bazooka tube. I actually put the Bazooka tube behind the 
passenger seat... (Nobody ever sits in the back ANYWAY) It sounds really 
good INSIDE the car but you can't hear it outside (plus for me... I live in 
the ghetto. Let the locals believe I am kicking treble) The Bazooka tube 
hits alot harder than the Substation with the right amp (WHY did I sell the 
other one?!?) I inherited a set of 6X9 holes from the last supergenius that 
owned the car so I threw a pair of Kenwood's in and it sounds OK. (REALLY... 
it's ok. It's an 85 with that baby-crap tan interior carpet... NO loss.)
 In the other Scirocco, I have a set of JL 10's and a Rockford Fosgate amp. 
The whole thing is a hair bigger than the Kicker Substation in the other car 
and it hits pretty damn hard. I am only using about 30-40% of my trunk 
space. I am not going to win any bass competitions... but for my tastes, it 
works pretty good.
