I had a bazooka EL8 (tube) put on today...how come when I turn on the car there is a thump that comes from the sub and also when I push the shift button on the headunit to move to another song on the CD the thump goes on again..it kinda bugs me..IS THIS NORMAL ?OR do I have to go back to the installer to have this addressed. Thanks. If your shop wasn't too far I would nhave gone there myself. Anyway thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well it is not far by comparison to most of the people on this forum! Tell me all of your equiptment in your car . I think it is because of the way it is interface with your radio Is it hooked into your stock stereo?

The equipment on my 84 300DT are as follows:

Alpine CDM 7874
*Infinity 5521 - rear
*Infinity 3.5 - dash
Bazooka EL8A

Again thanks for your help. You are an awesome resource to this forum!

It sounds to me like it is a bad signal ground if they hooked up to the rcas or it could be a bad deck. I am glad to help the people that appreciate it! Merry Christ mas.

THANKS SCOTT---by the way what does rcas mean?...I'm going to back to the shop on Monday to address this problem and with the info that you supplied me...also the guys at the install screwed the bazooka holder through my floor...am I looking at water seepage through these screws...(i hope not!!!)

RCA is the cables that carry the sound between the radio and the bazooka.
