Stereo & Electronics - 50 pairs of Bazooka 6.5" DVC Subwoofers Back in Stock!!

Well guys after waiting for these for 3-4 months SAS Bazooka finally got a container in and I got half of the 200 6.5" DVC subs that were on it.
I have received numerous PM's about when I'd get these back in stock so I am posting up to let you know they are back in stock at the regular price of $119.00 a pair shipped and I have activated the "Buy Now" button status on the website for easy ordering.
For those of you who are looking for a better then stock replacement but don't want to go aftermarket amplification these are for you. These are the correct 6.5", dual 4ohm voice coil design like the stock subs in the Firebirds Monsoon system. These will also work in Camaros by wiring the coils in parallel to achieve the 2ohm load. Better then stock in build quality and will handle more power.
I will also be including these in my F-body speaker packages standard in the regular package and optional in the premium package. This actually saves you money when purchased this way.
Here are links to the site for the subs and the speaker packages:

F-body speaker packages: http://www.keeaudio.com/id79.html
I will also be doing a Holiday Special soon on several CDT products so this is a perfect time to pick up a quality coaxial speaker, component speaker set or subwoofer. For the 3rd gen guys I will also be putting something together for those cars!!
I still have 3 special deals left on the new CDT high end SQA-4100 4-channel amplifer as well!!!!

What makes them better than stock? Materials?

The materials, voice coils, design, and contruction are much better then stock. They also handle way more power then the stock subs. They use a stiffer treated cone structure with a much thicker surround which is good for about 10+mm of excursion. The basket, while still being stamped steel, is stout. I put one of these through a pretty abusive test recently and it handled what I threw at it very well.

Do you have these that work out of the box for a Camaro? I have a blown sail panel speaker and I want to replace them both as simply as possible. If not is there a write-up on wiring these into a camaro? All the searches I found was just for Firebirds :(

Thanks

^^^^^ x2

just wire the coils in parallel for a camaro super simple

"These will also work in Camaros by wiring the coils in parallel to achieve the 2ohm load."

All you have to do is wire them like the first picture top left (Which is what Pentavolvo and I mentioned) to make them work in your Camaro. I can wire them for you if you need me to.

These are only a little better than stock. You get what you pay for. If you want something cheap that's a slight upgrade, fine. But it bothers me to see people talk these up a lot.

i think alot of people are just looking to replace there blown stock ones with something of same quality or slightly better without paying dealer prices for the pos monsoon ones but i agree

Thanks for posting the how-to!

Why does it bother you when someone says they just want to replace something that is blown with something that won't blow? You've been nothing but negative about them from day one. What gives??
The stock subs are cheaply made and use cheap materials. The Bazookas use much better materials and have a much better design over the stock subs. They also have larger 1.5" aluminum voice coils over the stock 1" copper voice coils. I'd say that's more then a slight upgrade over stock.

Alittle?

Yes, a little. Size isn't everything.

Damn. I may have to get some of these. I have a 10" Type R sub, but my 6.5" sail panels are blown, so i may have to get some of these.

If you have a 10" Type R already then just ditch the 6.5" midbass speakers and get a real nice set of components for the front.

Was that picture taken at the F-body gathering in Marietta?

I'm gonna get some nice components, but I want to put the Bazooka 6.5's in the rear seats. (middle speakers)

If you are talking about my sig, then yes. at G12

That's what I thought! I was a sponsor there this year. I just put some very nice components on sale from CDT and could do a package for you if you wanted. Packages include shipping costs and get the speakers discounted a bit.

KEE,

Do these subs make the panels vibrate ? I want good replacement but I dont want the side of my car vibrating like crazy.

If you install them correctly they won't vibrate. By this I mean that they should be securely mounted. They should not vibrate any more then the stock ones did.
Another good investment for these would to install a Dynamat Speaker kit. This dampens alot of vibration that may occur. Plus it is only a $21.00 investment and is very easy to install with them. 1 kit does both speakers.

If your panels vibrate and are not attached well to the car, you may need to apply this TSB: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/general-maintenance-repairs/904132-interior-trim.html

I have these speakers and they work great. (No vibrations.)

I just have a 01 V6 camaro with the 4 speaker system, stock HU, and a solo baric in the back. what should I look at to replace the sails and doors? not sure if there are subs in the sails like the monsoon or not... i know the wiring is much more simple than the monsoon.

whats the diff. between the standard and the premium?

Standard package just has all CDT speakers which are better quality speakers. You also get the upgraded CL-E61's for the doors over the standard CL-61CV's. The major difference between the 2 are the E61 has a cast frame instead of stamped steel, larger magnet, vented pole piece and a bit larger voice coil which translates into more power handling at higher volume levels.
For a stock system the CL-61 does fine and handles an aftermarket amp as well. The CL-E61 will do fine on stock power but can handle a more powerful aftermarket amp. To give you an example of the 2 different drivers in the component sets here is picture of them side by side so you can see the difference. Both also use phase plug designs for less distortion. The CDT drivers for the CL-61CV is on the right and the CL-E61CV (EF-6) is on the left....I know it can be a bit confusing....the name of the actual drivers by themsleves in the sets are the CL-6E and the CL-E6. Anyway here are the pictures so you can see the difference between the 2.

:confused: ur saying that the one on the left is better than the right one :confused:

he mixed it up....
CL-E61CV is on the right
CL-61CV is on the right

although the new CL-61CVs come with a new lower profile stamped housing. I bought my from another seller and it came with a different housing than the one in the picture, I called CDT directly and they said I actually had the latest version.

ahaaaa now it makes more sense.

hey kee any video with those subs installed in a camaro ?

That was an older picture but I already had it on file and it still gave the idea. I did mix them up though!

I did have a video floating around of the CL-E61CV driver (used to be called the EF-6) in a door with an mdf mount...ah ha...here it is:
http://www.icixsound.com/iv/view_video.php?viewkey=f5bb252d13f5f431e4bb

Not bad, but either the video doesn't capture it well or it's not extremely impressive.

Perhaps I'm just spoiled by the Adire Audio Extremis woofers in my DIY home speakers. 7" woofers with a +/- 13mm Xmax. They're too deep to fit in our doors though :(

Edit to note: That's better than the speakers you can buy at BB/CC/whatever. Don't want it to sound like I'm hating on CDT. They're still above most brands.

Perhaps comparing home speakers to car speakers isn't a very good comparison?
I haven't heard the Kee speakers, but for what you get for the price, if they're comparable to OEM or even just slightly better, it looks like a good deal.

There's plenty of options for no-compromises audio at higher price points.

The Extremis was quite popular in cars, too. It is absolutely fair.

Ian,

Is there any difference between the subs you're selling and the Elemental Designs 7Kv.2?? I had a sail panel sub blow yesterday and looking for replacements.

What are the advantages/disadvantages to both?? Thanks!!

Also, can I install a better amplifier to my stock Monsoon system?

It's not super impressive by no means but then again these are more midbass/midrange type drivers. I basically am just trying to work within the parameters of the F-body doors and what can actually fit in them, like you said. Love those Adires by the way...wish they were still around.
I do have the ES-06+ and the HD M-6+ that both have alot of excursion (for a 6.5"-6.8" speaker) but again you have depth issues possibly because both have 3.37" of depth. I've been debating on modifying my door panel to accomodate a pair of these but I have no time right now to work on my car nor am I able to anyway with my back the way it is (had surgery last week to remove 2 discs).
The ES-06+ spec sheet:

video I found on them from realm of excursion:

The HD M-6+ spec sheet:
http://www.cdtaudio.com/pdf/HD-M6+_07.pdf
No video for these but they are very similar and even share the same cast basket.

Plus the obvious thing about these is that aftermarket amplification would be mandatory as the stock Monsoon amp would not be able to push these.

If you're a fan of the Extremis, there is an improved version still for sale: the CSS (Creative Sound Solutions) SDX7.

I would replace mine with those, but I plan to replace the speakers with some Aurasound NS12-513 or Lambda Acoustics-based speakers.

Do these subs require any external mods/adapters to physically mount in the hole? Or are they are direct bolt in?

Do these subs require any external mods/adapters to physically mount in the hole? Or are they are direct bolt in?

The holes are just a little different. The OEM screws have washers on them that will also tear up the new speakers - so you'll want to rip of the washers or get new screws.

Here's my install:
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-electronics/931445-bazooka-6-1-4-4-ohm-dvc-sail-panel-install-w-pics.html

I went overboard, making some slight modifications to the existing holes so I could re-use them. I think most people use new sheet metal screws to tap thier own holes, which is a much easier way to go.

Just to throw my .02 in: I just got mine yesterday from Ian at Kee Audio. He's got a great business with fantastic customer service. And the subs sound great and are definately higher quality than those crappy stock ones. Just make sure you follow the install tips as stated in the post before mine^^.
I didn't and now I have the same problems with the washers tearing the suspension and I have to redo them now:bang:.

Yes, a little. Size isn't everything.

never heard her say that.

Are the cones on cdt speakers still pressed paper? I'm sure not every line they offer utilizes a paper cone but I came across a set that looks just like these in an eclipse that the cone had literally fallen apart after a week or two's use. They didn't sound too bad while they were in there but they didn't last too long.

The CL series components are carbon treated paper cones not just standard pressed paper. This gives them longevity but still maintains sensitivity. They also have rubber butyl surrounds instead of non-treated foam. The CDT's have good longevity and actually have an optional ($20.00 on CL & HD series) 10-year warranty they come with in the box from CDT. The standard warranty from CDT is 1 year.
I had the CL-62's and CL-6's in my car for about 2 years before I stepped up to a different pair to try and sold these to a friend of mine. They still have yet to show any signs of wear or sound deterioration in his vehicle after another 2+ years of use. These are on aftermarket amplification as well so they are getting more power then what the stock Monsoon is giving them.
The CL-62CF also available in a carbon fiber coned version as well if your concerned about the cone but the standard carbon treated cone in the CL series works just fine.

Personally, I don't like using anything other than poly or metal inside of doors.

I'm not sure that these speakers were even from the same product line. It just popped in my mind because the basket was very similar. Do you get pretty good midbass out of these? The set I had mentioned earlier was lacking in the bass department and had almost too much mid for me. I just don't have too much experience with CDT, with the exception of a few vehicles that have came in over the years with them in it. Any decent 3 way passive setups available?

Dang man. I didn't even knew they still made Bazookas. I remember when I was young, I would dream that I had some Bazookas in my car.

I wanted a bazooka when I was a kid. I didn't dream so far as to put one in my car.
