so I bought a bazooka powered sub today cs series its a 8" 50watts
It suggest that I wire them up together with the rear speakers, but it also has RCA inputs, it will be easier for me to use the RCA
will the results be that much worse?

 

It will sound better if you use RCA's.

alright then RCAs it is, does anyone know what kind of sound to expect from this? I have stock speakers and a pioneer HU

 

depends on what kind of car

 

its a camry, dont expect much of it but hope it doesnt sound like **** either

 

how much did you pay for it?

 

I gave the dude $50 for it, came with the original hold down straps and instructions manual, only thing im waiting for now is the amp kit, how do I know what size fuse to put in the power wire?

 

I have a 30 amp one in mine, it's 250 RMS so should be about the same as yours

you have the same sub? the only thing the owners manual mentions is something bout not changing the included 7.5a fuse but it doesnt have a fuse holder in the harness, but it does mention this in the part of how to set up the power wire so i was thinking maybe thats what I should put in there?

 

yeah put the 30a fuse on there, but on the amp it self. How are the speakers in your car right now? are they blown, ripped, or torn? if you like how your stock speakers sound, your bazooka sub will make your car have a bit more bass. but it should sound good, regardless of your other speakers, unless the bazooka sub is messed up some how.

 

stock speaker in there are good right now, still want a definite answer on the fuse to put in there...I cant find the RMS specs for the sub, and the book mentions a 7.5a which is very big deifference from 30-40a

 

well if the manual says 7.5a, use that, dont get a bigger fuse, because if you have a short, the the fuse wont blow until it reaches that 30a fuse blowing rating, but by that time your amp, and maybe sub will already be fried. I think you have the 50watts bazooka, and they dont need no 30a fuse, stick with the 7.5a, it will work just fine.

ook just though maybe 7.5amps was too little and yea it is the 50watt bazooka,
I went looking for a 7.5a agu fuse could only find 7a and 8a on radioshack, go with the 8a?

 

you could just buy the inline fuse holder from radioshack, and buy the 7.5a fuse from somewhere else. if you dont want to do that, then just take 8a it'll do the same.

 

didn't see the 50 watts part, I thought he had the one with 500 watts max and 250 rms

 

Just waiting on my amp kit and HU to arrive
my amp kit comes with a 40a fuse so im going to have to go find a 7.5a one
I also wanted to put a switch on my remote wire in case I wanted to turn it off, any switch would do right no big deal on the remote wire?

 

yeah you can put a switch on it no problem
