Need Help With Sub

[Camvill]

Just bought a 10" Bazooka Tube what do i need to hook it up?

[TheBandit]

Do they have a built in amp? Or do you need to run an external?

[Knipps]

These are typically the things you look up before you buy something :lol:

i hate you

[Mike]

power, ground, and remote to turn it on

and rca's to give it the audio signal

yeh i know that ive installed a lot of subs before but i guess i need a special wire to connect to the tube to run those wires. No one here has experience on this?

[TheBandit]

what cbrrmike is correct.. 4 gauge wire should be sufficient probably even smaller because that will probably barely pull any amps

[Mike]

post a picture, unless you mean a special connector, there is nothing else you should need, i have an alpine one in the garage ill check out tomorrow if it will help

[Camvill]

found out how it works i need a connector from the website do u guys know if this 24-pin will work with my aftermakret head unit? http://sasbazooka.com/products/mobile/Accessories-C37/FAST-Harnesses-S60/FAST-2003---FAST-interface-for-GM-1999---up--24-PIN-P314

[TheBandit]

No it won't. That lists as 99 and up GM vehicle, which means that will fit your stock radio harness, but not your aftermarket. All that plug does is splice in the power and everything else everyone told you. At least it looks that way,

[GP99GT]

either post a picture of the connectors on the tube or give us a model number

I think i just buy this and splice the wires to it. The model number on my tube is ba10100

[Camvill]

thanks guys :-(

[TheBandit]

Well what wires on the subwoofer? Its hard to help with such little info. If its just power ground and rcas you can just splice everything in without getting a harness. like it was said over and over.. post a picture..

[Mike]

maybe somthing like this?

[Mike]

that dosent say it fits your model, but it looks like you would need somthing like it.......

[Camvill]

na i says it does fit but i bought that along with a different extension harness only concern is a fuse

[Mike]

what about the fuse? you can run an inline fuse anywhere along the power wire

[Camvill]

do i have to run anything to the battery then?

[maroman88]

this thread hurts my brain lol

[HeadlessNorseman]

do i have to run anything to the battery then?

You ignored everyone who has tried to help you so far. We have no idea what you need to run anywhere because you havent told or shown us anything yet. In a normal amp, you goto circuit city or some place and get an amp power kit. It will have 2 big wires, a fuse, and one little wire. big ones are power and ground...little one goes to the turn on output on the stereo. Then you need a long RCA plug from circuit city. Now if you need something besides those things, post a picture or just something so SOMEBODY knows what you are talking about

[Camvill]

i know how to run a Normal amp i was asking if anyone had experience with a tube but i guess not. I figured it out thanks for the help anyways.

[Camvill]

what happens if i connect 18 awg wire from the amp to the 10 awg wire that came with the wiring kit?

[Mike]

if you use a distribution block, it should be fine

[Camvill]

if you use a distribution block, it should be fine

ok thanks Mike u've been a great help

[Camvill]

this thing is nothing but a pain in the ass. i hooked up all the wirings yesterday and they dam thing doesnt work. I tested all the wires with a multi meter and they are all getting power. I ripped apart the sub and checked the wires to the woofer and the circuit board on the amp and everything looks good but i think the amp may be blown. CAlling tech support tommorow.

[Mike]

check the fuses? the last hook up or 2 might have popped one of your fuses.

[Camvill]

checked the fuses and ground they are good to go i called bazooka and i am sending the amp in to see if its broken.

[Camvill]

Turns out the amp was broken so im trying to now get reimbursed by the seller.

[Camvill]

Got the new amp installed in the tube. This hits super hard. I recommend it to any f body owner.
