How to install a Bazooka tube in a Protégé, Protégé Mp3 or P5.

Written by me! (This took awhile, so I hope you use it!)

There's a clear piece of plastic behind the battery drill a hole in it run the wire through and replace it. Run the wire under the plastic door lining of both doors and then under the back seat make sure its behind the seat belt in case of quick stops with someone strapped in that seat (could pull it out). All the excesses wire should fit under the back of the seat; (In mine I placed the tube directly behind the larger back fold down seat just line the amp side up with the small fold down seat with the speaker side about 5in from the trunk wall).
Splice the power cord and ground cord into the amp connector that comes with every bazooka and connect the ground to the back left bolt (when sitting in the drivers seat) that holds the small fold down. Use the self-tapping screws to install the plastic strap holder and use the directions in the owner’s manual on how to thread the straps (make sure not to put a screw threw the trunk opening cable, it shouldn’t be close but just check). Before you strap it in make sure in connections set to auto (unless you have a controller or have hooked the orange controller wire to the ignition, to make it turn on and turn off with your car; Just leave it set to auto it’s too much work). Test it out! Connect everything where it should go, (revere to the owner’s manual for more help) adjust the settings to sound harmonic with your system and the db’s to whatever you want. Strap it in and Zoom! Zoom! There you go.

I used 24c gold contacts for the power and ground connections.


If there's any mistakes Please tell me(I'm sure you will)!

Don't let that redline picture fool you.

Don't let that redline picture fool you.

Anyone can redline an engine while waiting for their happy meal to be given to them in the drivethru. LOL!!!

That pic isn't mine!

My protege hits 3rd around 70 and 4th around 100 so If I time it right I can get the speed at 105 and the 7.5 RPM's with no seat belt, in the dark, with the windows down, the brights on, engine light on, 30mph speed limit sign out the window, in the freezing rain, sterio blaring, railroad lights coming down, my nine out the sun roof, cop lights fading in the rear view mirror, bullet holes in the front and back windows, and the back of my girls head bobbing below, because I'll be getting roadHEAD with my hands on her nice *** & ****!!!!

HELL YES, I'm crazy, 15 foot jump(long @ about 80mph) over a RR track still flooring it and peeling out when I hit (no joke!) I phucked up the exhaust cover (woe, dejavou) I've said that before.

Do a search for my other posts!

Drilling the hole

That white plastic cover is where the clutch master cylinder goes for the manual guys. They'll have to find another hole.

In your writeup, I assume you're talking about the power lead to the tube. I'm getting ready to transfer my Kicker Powered Substation (Same as my old 8in. SAS Bazooka). You don't talk about the lines for the speakers.

Can you elaborate a little bit more about the speaker lines that you ran to the tube as well?

Thanks!!
