Bazooka Party Bar

[AlphaKap]

I don't take possession of our boat until next week but am already thinking of some things I would like to add. One is a little bit of extra sound for when we are beached or when we are bobbing in the water.

I am interested in a soundbar for the tower. I looked at the wet sounds 6 and 10 speaker models then came on this soundbar from Bazooka. I can't really find many reviews on it and almost all of the applications posted are off-road or golf carts. It says it has marine grade components so thinking it would be fine on a boat. Whats kind of cool is that it has RGB lighting as well. I also like that the cylindrical casing can be rotated although I think that might be possible with wet sounds.

They have a 36" version and 24" version.

Any thoughts on this product?

My professional 2 cents... don't buy anything Bazooka.

I don't know anything about this particular product, but was never a fan of anything Bazooka made for cars.

What kind of boat are you getting....that would make a diff on my suggestions....some of the boats come with decent systems, just need to add a lil here and there...an amp and sub can do wonders for a stock system...on a budget if need be.

That said, although this could work there are other options if you so choose....just sayin.

How do you plan on playing your music, what type, how long...that's what you wanna ask yourself.....that and what your pocket and significant other will allow,lol

I’ve had a few bazooka amplified bass tubes and loved them. I’m not in the market for a party bar but if I was I would consider one or two of these in the 24” ($350 each) or the 36” model ($450 each).

The prices seem good compared to other options available, I’ve seen single speakers with enclosures selling for over $200 each and the stock system Yamaha previoulsy offered (possibly jbl) had two enclosures with two speakers (4”or 6.5”?) for close to $1,500, no lights and not amplified but it did include a PA system, another feature I don’t have use for. I don’t need the led lightning as I don’t boat much at night and once the boat is beached we listen to tunes from a boom box or blue tooth speaker at the camp/picnic site. Plus I bought speakers with integrated leds for the swim deck and rarely see the lights at work for the above reasons.

Another consideration is how if at all this will impact your night vision. If you buy this or something else I suggest that you mount them with some type of security screw, like most tower accessories these look easy to steal (two to four screws per mounting point and two mounting points per bar would be short work for an electric screw driver).
