Default Bazooka Tube Subwoofer

Hey guys i have a question, have any of you ever experimented with a bazooka tube subwoofer on your es300? If so how is it installed without cutting your OEM wires?

Lol. I would think it would be no different than any other sub. It would need an amp and proper wiring. You have to cut into OEM wires though.

Why a tube? Not a fan of those at all, just get a 10in if you are worried about space or something, mine works awesome.

Some tubes come with amp built in and all you have to do is wire up power and get a signal. However the tubes I have heard have not sounded as good as a regular sub or even a slim sub in a small box. Just my 2 cents. If the price isn't a steal... I would keep looking for an affordable sub package.

I have an 8" kicker L7 and it fits perfectly. It also bumps harder than my friends two 15s

If one of your back speakers is broken or doesnt work than you can just take the audio input from that speaker and use it for your bazooka. Otherwise you will probably need to get an audio splitter and use some simple t connnectors to attach it all to the existing audio wiring. No cutting out anything. Other than that, you just need to run a power wire to the battery and your set. I had a system installed in my car and they just used t connectors and didnt cut out anything and it worked just fine.
