Do you want to keep it as a work van?

Does it have the wall behind the seats or is it all open?

Does it have a center console?

I had a work van that I built a center console between the front seats for 1 12" sub with the sub firing to the rear...it did pretty good for daily driving and for a service van...

lol yeah im not a big fan of the jackhammers. i mean if it were around the price of normal subs then maybe but there just so damn big and i think theres some other subs out there that could get close to what the jackhammer does.

What kind of systems have you had in the past? I mean, if you're looking for entry level, sound quality, competition level...you have different options. Entry level you could get something pretty outragious and stay in the budget...if you go with SQ, it might not be as showy or loud, but it will sound good, and if you go with SPL, in a van, you might need to save more money!

You are not really getting many answers here are you?

So, do you want flashy and loud or sweet and smooth?

Give me that and I'll set you up with something good!

glove - i'd say loud because i want to turn this into a competition/daily driver. so for now i want something that will get loud with the money i have and then add on as time goes.

Jack - that would be nice but id have a hard time fitting that in my budget lol. interior and exterior will definitely be changed lol.
