Where are you? Probly in Fairfax. I'm in C-ville, more central VA.

Do those things have an internal amp or are they just the tubes?

If it has an amp, then basically what he (Elton) said. If not, get an amp also.
This is what I used. You should get it by Monday if you order it today or you can find this at any stereo shop around your town. It is all you need and should be around $40 or less.

some have amps and some don't. If i does have an amp you need the wire plug that plugs into the amp or you will be SOL.

Do you mean the RCA cables?

If so that is included in both of our replies, if not, what wire plug are you talking about?

No hijacking. just posting the question that might be asked later for everybody else.

the amplified Bazooka tubes come with a wiring harness that plugs into the back of the tube to connect everything up...12v power, ground, remote, and RCAs or low level line input. use RCAs if you have an aftermarket h/u. use the low line if you have a stock h/u.
the passive (non-powered) Bazooka tubes will only have binding posts to connect the speaker wire from an external amp.

so basically, if it's an amplified unit, you will need the Bazooka wiring harness and an amp wiring kit.
if it is a passive tube, you will need an external amplifier, and amp wiring kit.

for something like a Bazooka tube, don't get carried away on the amp install kit. go to walmart and buy the $17 Scosche 8 gauge amplifier install kit. it will have everything you need to hook up the tube. i am all about high quality stuff, but for a Bazooka tube, that is all you will ever need.....and don't get me wrong, that's actually not bad stuff at all. wiring is way overpriced in general. don't get caught up in the hype.
