I recently aquired a Bazooka EL104 subwoofer from my sister as a hand-me-down. it's not my first choice for an audio upgrade for it's size, but im using it anyway because it's free. I don't know much about mobile audio so i don't know which amp to choose to power my sub. what is a good amp to use this with subwoofer in my xa? also, how much should i be looking to spend? i don't have a lot of money...



here are the specifications for this subwoofer:

EL104

Power Handling: 200 Watts (Max)
Impedance: single 4 ohm
Sensitivity: 107 dB
Frequency Response: 39 Hz-1000Hz
Recommended Power: 6 - 200 (watts)
Voice Coil Size: 1.5" high power/high temp
Magnet Weight: 28 oz.

THANKS!

they have built in amps, or atleast I thought they did

some bazookas do. this one, appearently, doesn't. it says the recommended power is 6-200watts, so does that mean i should get an amp that is just shy of 200 watts??

That would be a good choice. If your hooking up to your stock system, you might have too much bass. So you might want to turn the gain down to balance the sound.

I would get an amp that bridges to mono probably one that puts out 50-75 watts at 107db @1w1m it should blow the rest of your system away

you guys have been helpful. please keep all suggestions coming. anyone who knows anything about mobile audio knows more than me.

if you had an EL104 tube, what setup would you go with?
