A bass cannon

Bass makes up about 30% of your music, and it gives music its power and impact. A good subwoofer can make an average car audio system sound good, and a good car audio system sound great. Good bass is all about moving air, and a cylindrical tube translates the motion of its woofer into maximum air pressure so you hear and feel more bass. Bazooka designed the Bass Tube to act like a bass cannon, firing low frequencies throughout your vehicle.

BT8024DVC 8" Bass Tubes® enclosure

The BT8024DVC Bass Tube features an 8" polypropylene woofer with a twin-layer compressed foam surround for smooth excursion. The dual 4-ohm voice coils promote high power handling, and each voice coil has its own set of input terminals to give you maximum hook-up flexibility. The tube design eliminates standing bass waves for accurate response and high efficiency. Find a good spot for a Bazooka Bass Tube in your vehicle and you'll still enjoy plenty of cargo room.

Bass Tubes enclosures fit just about anywhere

A compact Bass Tubes enclosure will fit in almost any vehicle, and you can disconnect it in a snap if you need more cargo space. Since the tube's speaker and port are right next to each other, you can get amazing results by "corner loading" your tube — placing it in a corner of your trunk or cargo area so your vehicle's boundaries act as a natural amplifier, boosting bass production.

Features

Overview: The BT8024DVC features a water-resistant poly enclosure that houses a 8" 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 200 watts RMS, so the combined power handling is 400 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.

7 questions already asked

Will this sub woofer pair with a punch 45 Rockford Fosgate amplifier - circa 1988 ?

billybob Aug 04, 2024

1 answer

So that will depend entirely on what that particular amp is pushing and what your overall goal for sound is. We have advisors who can be reached by calling 1-800-324-9695 that can help recommend the best sub for your goals.

How do I hook this (dual coil) up with a single output channel?

james Jul 06, 2024

1 answer

Hey James, you would need to wire up those voice coils in parallel, and that will lower the total impedance of this sub to 2-ohm. So as long as your mono channel on the amp is stable at 2-ohm and does not send more than 400w at that 2-ohm impedance then you can easily run it. Below will be a wiring diagram on how to set that up: https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2SVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg

Is this an active or passive subwoofer? Crutchfield needs to clearly state this on their subwoofer info.

sully Feb 05, 2023

1 answer

Greetings Sully, and thank you for your question. This Bazooka BT8024DVC is a passive subwoofer. My apologies if the website is not clear on that. The overview states the power range 12-400 watts, meaning it needs an amplifier in that range. Also its not listed under our powered subwoofer page, but under subwoofer boxes. I can check into having that updated to Passive subwoofer boxes. Thank you for pointing this out, every little bit helps us do better.

Does the bazooka tube have a built in amp?

colby Mar 28, 2018

5 answers

Nope, but they do make one that has one!

michael Apr 10, 2018

I'm running a amp on mine so i do not think it has a amp.

larry d Apr 09, 2018

No it does not. It only needs about 100 watts max amp to sound good as well.

derek Apr 09, 2018

No. It is a passive subwoofer

carlos Apr 08, 2018

No built in amp. Great sounding speaker. But, needs to be separately powered.

james Apr 08, 2018

What would be the best amp to power 2 of these?

joseph Aug 01, 2014

1 answer

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your subs I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
