Taking out a sub When I got my car, it came with a Bazooka sub (one of the tubes) and a CD changer and amp. I'm looking to do away with the sub and CD changer, and possibly the amp. I have a Kenwood head unit for my iPod, and I don't need a ton of base or anything special. Can I just snip the wires and yank the stuff out? Will the stock speakers still work?
Thanks,
Chris

I honestly have no idea. The system was in the car when I got it, or else I wouldn't have done it that way. I want to say the amp is powering the sub, but I'm not positive. If the sub is powered by the amp, I can just cut the wire between the amp and sub, right? I have no problem keeping the amp (especially if they power the speakers), but I really want teh sub out of the way. And I apologize for the newbie questions. I'm more of a mechanical guy then audio.

It's quite all right, no one knows everything, i'm far from an audio pro myself.
I checked bazookas website and it seems they offer both powered and un powered subs.
So it may or may not have a link to the amp, can you get a # off the amp then you can check how many channels and see if it's powering other things.
I'm sure someone has an another way of doing this too.

are there ***** on the back of the bass tube and a bunch of wires
or
no ***** and just one pair of speaker wires
the ***** mean its self amplified and the other amp powers the speakers
if no ***** then that other amp powers it and it all can come out
remeber there is a fuse somewhere as there will be hot wires make sure to remove the underhood fuse

What about just unplugging the wiring harness from the Bazooka tube itself? If I remember right, a big wiring harness plugs right into the tube and you should be able to just unplug it and see if the rest of your system is still okay. If it is, then remove the unwanted tube and decide what you want to do with the remaining wiring.
