They're made by SAS Bazooka (SAS standing for Southern Audio Systems) a company in Louisiana, and they sound like ass. I've heard them in several different installs and they all sounded bad, bar none.

triangles cover less space then circles do

circle > triangle

$200 for that is wayyy too much. I wouldnt give them $5 for that sub.

brothers friend had one of those tri-vent boxed ones in a civic and it sounded halfway decent, definately alot of bass from that one little sub. other than that i haven't heard any others. but for the price i would say it is worth it.

I've known people that have had and used the old Bazooka tubes for years! The longevity of a product doesn't necessarily have anything to do with its ability to perform its intended purpose.

I don't care if it will outlast me no matter what I do to it....if it sounds bad I'm not buying it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And generally I am a huge proponent of most all Louisiana products (Tabasco Sauce, the majority of the crawfish consumed in the US annually, Community coffee and tea, LSU football, etc etc etc) but Bazooka...well, it leaves something to be desired as far as their speakers/subs are concerned.

They're just stupid.

Why create a subwoofer with LESS cone area than a round one. Kicker's approach with the square at east gives MORE cone area.
