Bazooka Tube Features

Overview: The BT1024DVC features a water-resistant poly enclosure that houses a 10" poly woofer with a foam surround. The patented Bass Tube enclosure design eliminates bass standing waves for high accuracy, and superior efficiency.

Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: This tube features dual 4-ohm voice coils that offer flexibility in wiring. When the voice coils are wired in parallel with each other, the tube presents a 2-ohm mono load. When the voice coils are wired in series with each other, the tube presents an 8-ohm mono load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel will see a 4-ohm load. Each coil can handle 250 watts RMS, so the combined power handling is 500 watts RMS.

5-Way Binding Posts: The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade lugs, banana plugs, and dual banana plugs.

Installation: Each mounting strap has an attached mounting base that can be secured to your vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws. Once the mounting bases are installed, the tube is held in place by the mounting straps. For best results, the tube should be mounted facing into a corner, and there should be 2" to 4" between the woofer and the corner into which the woofer is pointing.

Amplifier Features

CEA-2006 Compliant: CEA-2006 is a new system of testing & measurement methods for mobile audio amplifiers. This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier's RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured into a 4-ohm load, with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, and at a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz; when applicable. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. CEA-2006 allows consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers on an equal basis. The Bazooka ELA1300 under CEA-2006 regulations is rated at 200 Watts RMS x 1 channel with a 90dBA signal to noise ratio.

Mono-Power Amp Design: The Bazooka ELA1300 is designed with specific features to power your subwoofers with a frequency range between 25 to 250 Hz. This amplifier is not designed to power a full-range speaker.

2-Ohm Stable: The Bazooka mono-amplifier is capable of handling load impedances down to 2-ohm. The amplifier is rated at 375 Watts RMS x 1 channel in 2 ohms with a maximum output of 500 Watt peak x 1 channel in 2 ohms.

Parallel Connection: The amplifier is equipped with two pairs of silver-plated speaker terminals that are connected in parallel internally for easy multiple subwoofer connection.

Low-Pass Filter: The ELA1300 has a built-in 12dB/octave low-pass filter that is continuously variable from 50Hz to 250Hz for precise low-pass filtering. Instead of the low-pass filter you can also select Flat mode which will use the full frequency capabilities of the amplifier, allowing the amplifier to output a frequency range of 25Hz to 250Hz to your subwoofer or subwoofers.

Bass Boost: To enhance bass response the amplifier features a bass boost control. The bass boost is adjustable at either 0dB, 6dB, or 12dB at a fixed 45Hz.

Subsonic Filter: This amp features a 20Hz Subsonic Filter. Ultra-low frequencies that cannot be reproduced by a subwoofer do not become sound but become unnecessary oscillations, which affect sound by causing distortion. These frequencies also waste amplifier power and can cause damage to speakers. Setting the Subsonic filter switch to the "On" position cuts-out the frequencies below 20Hz to improve the reproduction performance of the speakers by eliminating harmful distortion.

Phase Inverter: The amp has a switch that allows you to invert the phase of the speaker output. You can select 0° or 180°.

Line Level Inputs: The RCA type line-level inputs have a gain (Input Sensitivity) control. The Input Sensitivity control will accept an input signal of 200mV to 5.0 Volts.

Speaker Level Input: The ELA1300 also comes with a speaker level input harness. This feature makes it easier to add an amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs. The gain control setting for the speaker-level input ranges from 1.0V to 10.0V.

Line Level Output: The amplifier has a set of line level outputs for feeding a full-range stereo signal to another amplifier. It is the same signal that is input through the line inputs. The amplifier's crossovers have no effect on the line level output signal.

Optional Wired Remote: The amplifier is compatible with Bazookas wired remote bass control module (RBCM-100, sold separately). The wired bass module has a single knob that remotely controls the amplifier's gain setting, and adjusts the amount of bass your connected subwoofer will output. The wired remote's cable is 16 feet 4 inches long and terminates in a stereo mini-jack connector that plugs into the amplifier.

LED Indicators: The amplifier features a Power and Protect LED indicator on the right-hand side of the amplifier. When the power is turned on to the amplifier, the Power indicator will light up green. This indicator will turn off with the amplifier and will turn off if the amplifier goes into protect mode. The Protect LED will illuminate red when the amp goes into protect mode and turn off during normal operation.

Protection circuitry: The amplifier features protection circuits that will turn the amp off in case of the following events to protect the amplifier and your speakers:

• DC Offset Protection: This circuit protects the output of the amplifier against DC voltage. If for some reason DC voltage is detect at the output stage, amplifier will shut down protecting the speakers from direct current.
• Short Circuit Protection: The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers or wiring. If one of the speakers or its wiring comes in contact with ground, the amplifier will shut down. To resume normal operation, correct the problem and turn the head unit off, then back on. The amplifier will reset and play again.
• Thermal Protection: To protect the amplifier circuitry against damage caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, a thermal protection circuit is activated if the amplifier reaches excessively high operating temperature. Once the thermal circuit is activated, the amplifier will shut down to cool off. The amplifier will automatically turn back on once it cools down to a safe operating temperature.

Cooling System: The amplifier features an aluminum extruded heat sink and a built-in fan to help keep the amplifier cool during operation. The amplifier is also compatible with Bazooka's optional C.H.I.L. system.
