Default SAS "NOS" Bass tube

I need a little education on one of these things. My gf is dead set on buying me one but I'm not sure it will accomplish anything. I hear good and bad things about them. My system is pretty much stock. I have upgraded all of the speakers but I would like some more bass. I am still running stock HU and Amp.

I am also concerned about where to mount this thing. I want to but it side ways on that hump in the back (pretty much parallel to the rear axle). Will this work? Will it accomplish anything or does it need to go where the t-top holders go? Does anyone have pics of one installed?

Generally they are regarded as being garbage, I have only ever used one bazooka tube and it was less then pleasing

Yep. Garbage. Bazooka does not make a single product that's not garbage, and the bass tube is low end even for them.

Be careful, if it's bad it might do this!

Show her a stealth box and a decent sub. you can accomplish this part for around 200-250 on the cheap, but good side. then you just need you an amp and some wires.

I used to have a 10" 200 watt powered Bazooka tube in my minivan a few years back. It was horrible. It slightly filled in the bass but a good pair of 6x9's could do the same thing. Very lacking in power.

Well damn!! I was hoping it would be halfway decent. I like the way they look and I'm not crazy about having an awesome system but it doesn't even sound like one of these will pass for half assed.
