Features
Overview: The BTA8100 features a water-resistant poly enclosure that houses an 8" poly woofer with a foam surround. The woofer is powered by a built-in 100-watt maximum amplifier. The patented Bass Tube enclosure design eliminates bass standing waves for high accuracy, and superior efficiency.
Low-pass Filter: The BTA8100 has a fixed low-pass filter at 85 Hz with a slope of 18 dB/octave.
Subsonic Filter: The subsonic filter, set at 35Hz, prevents really low frequencies from being amplified. This allows the amplifier to run more efficiently with increased power output.
Remote Level Control: Using an optional remote level control, you can control the bass output level of the subwoofer from a remote location.
Auto Turn-On: The subwoofer will turn on automatically when it senses music in the high-level or low-level inputs.
Balanced Input Circuitry: Balanced low-level and balanced high-level input circuitry is used for improved noise reduction.
Controls
Back Panel:
- Level Control: rotary control that allows you to adjust the level of the subwoofer
- Input Phase Switch: allows you to adjust the phase of the subwoofer
- Power LED: if power, ground and remote are connected properly, the LED will illuminate in green
Connections
Back Panel:
- Remote Level Control: minijack for use with optional remote level control
- Harness: 14-pin Molex plug for use with supplied harness
Installation
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.
Required Accessories:
- Power Wire: the 16-gauge power lead is only 10" long, so additional wire is required to extend it to the battery. Additional power wire must be crimped or soldered to the Bazooka's power lead.
- Ground Wire: the 16-gauge ground lead is also only 10" long, and may need to be extended. Additional ground wire must be crimped or soldered to the Bazooka's ground lead.
- Speaker Wire: required only when using the high-level inputs
- RCA Patch Cord: required only when using the low-level inputs
- Remote Turn-on Wire: required only if you do not use the auto turn-on feature

This sub gives me plenty of power (with the built in amp) when matched up with my new Sony deck in my 2005 Silverado. I had this sub in a previous vehicle and sold it. Love the base it supplies and the ease of installation (RCA cable). Can't go wrong with this product. Thx Crutchfield!
