Bazooka Caravan

[simjack]

I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan with am/fm stereo radio with cassette player, tone control bass and/or trebble, balance right/left, front/back. My 16 year old son says it sucks. Could I add a Bazooka self amplified and get much better bass and volume, or would I need to try something else?
Thank You;
William

I don't like the bazooka products at all, along with many others. It depends on how much you are willing to spend...and what kind of sound you want. If it were me I would consider upgrading the reciever, then speakers, an then add maybe a simple 12 in a smalled sealed enlosure to save space ( this is just what im thinking you would like as sound). But a budget would help us recommend you something, and your really not going to get any positive feedback on bazooka products here.

Tell your son to shutup, it's your vehicle not his. If he doesn't like it, then he can keep his damn mouth shut.

If you don't let him know who's in charge, it'll ruin YOUR life, not his.

To upgrade the receiver, then speakers, and then add a simple 12 in a small sealed enclosure what would you suggest and where to get? As for price I thought I would check on several combinations and then decide which one. I don't know anything about the price of things, but I don't want something crappy, even if I have to pay more.

With your attitude I hope you don't have or ever have any children. My dad did what he could for me and I think I turned out O.K. So if I can do something for my son I will.

Thanks

I learned;

If it ain't mine, don't bitch.
Beggars can't be choosers.
You borrowed, you better pay back.
Bitch about what's given to you and people stop giving.

Doing stuff for your kids is one thing, but altering YOUR car because they don't like it? Bullshit.

dude shut the fuck up.

Well William, Check out some Pioneer, Alpine, or Panasonic lines, and see what fits you best. You wont need anything too special. What size speakers are your stock ones? for a cheap simple upgrade you can just add coaxial speakers, or a Component set which will give you the best sound but cost alot more. But find out what the sizes are

He wants suggestions. He got mine. You don't like it? Shut the fuck up.

Quick little survey has yielded the following results so far:

Your a dumb piece of shit. Were talking about car audio here, anything else has nothing to do with you. So fuck u an shut the fuck up.

I do believe he asked the forum community, as a whole, what he should do.

I'm part of the forum community.

I stated my opinion of what he should do.

Who said I wasn't talking about car audio? If HE is happy with his Caravans stereo, then what's it matter what anyone else thinks?

Just an update of the polls:

I didn't ask what I should do ,I asked how to improve my audio system. My son uses it more than anyone, and if he wants it improved, I will listen to the ones who are actually trying to help, and improve it. You have made six posts to this thread and haven't contributed anything useful, just gripeing and bitching. I hope Santa comes to see you and brings something good, it might improve your outlook on life.
Merry Christmas

Weel you see there? That little bit of information always helps. Had you said that in the beginning instead of:

I might have been a little nicer.

Quit talking to me like I'm your 16 year old kid. I'm 21, work full time, am getting marred in March, and make more money than most parents in my area.

6 posts of showing why you shouldn't bend over backwards for your kid, when it's not his place in the first place, but since this wasn't the case and you refused to reveal that until now, the whole subject changes.

Bazooka sucks. Don't get it. If you want cheap decent sounding bass, I'd have to say a Kenwood 10" sub in a .75ft^3 sealed box with ample power. I've got two older kenwood 10's in a custom vented box with 1.1ft^3 behind each speaker with 500W rms each, and it makes you forget to breathe. But the box is pretty massive for it's small volumes.

Get a good sub, keep it underpowered, because your kid will undoubtedly crank it up to try to show it off, and you don't want that money going to waste.

ok stop the bitch fights, thanks.

Bazuka Tubes? Nah... Get one of thoes Amp, Sub, Prebuilt sealed boxes for like $200. More bass, nothing amazing, not much more expensive than most Bazuka tubes, and probably sounds better too.
