Bass tube VS single sub?

[aimisgoop]

ok..ive decided im not buying a real nice system, cuz paranoia of it getting stolen lol. so i was thinking bout just buyin a 10" basstube or somethin and throwin that in the back, or maybe like a single Alipine Type R/S 10" and a small amp....what r the pros and cons of both? i can get a basstube for like $100 where the system will be a lil more..(ill buy a used amp). how is the sound QUALITY of basstubes? how bout the Type R's/S's? id rather have really good sound then really amazing bass. TIA

When you say "basstube" are you referring to the Bazooka systems or just a tube enclosure?

SOunds like you mean a cylndrical enclosure... really makes little to no differance

[TBSpyder]

I've heard cylindrical enclosures sound pretty good, but the Bazooka systems suck.

[93ex]

yah bazooka stuff leaves to be desired, its 90 percent midbass for most of it

as far as cylndrical enclosures.. i was under the understanding that sealed box enclosure shape makes little effect ont he sound itself

your not going to be happy........

For a Decent little bump, i hear the Infinity Basslink is pretty good.

Yeah, for real virtualy no difference. To me a tube is just another enclosure option regarding space.

Internal shape does affect sound waves...
