I've owned a few 10" powered Bazooka tubes and they had decent bass and sounded decent also. If you can get one for a good price then grab it. I ran both of them for a week while waiting for my new subs to arrive and it was better then a LOT of BB/CC set ups I've heard.
ummm i just agree that a good 8 on 500w will be louder and sound better. prove me wrong? buy you an X8 or and give it 500 clean and it will be louder and sound better than any bazooka. since youre looking at bazooka, i assume youre on a budget though so idk if that would stay within your spending limits.
