[QUOTE=">>SQL<<, post: 7922880, member: 633661"] Measuring the airspace is important as it will help to find the correct subwoofer for the box. You can find out the volume of the box with it still in the truck. You need a 12"x12"x12" cardboard box, fill it with packing peanuts and then pour them into the sub box till it is full. I am going to guess not much more than 1 cubic foot will fill a chamber. Installing a sub in a box too small for it will make it sound terrible. As for the wires, wire is cheap that stuff in there is not the stuff you want to use for a higher power setup, just start over. I am uncertain how the van is setup inside, is it just going to have the 2 front seats? If so seems to me that the cool part of having a van is being able to fit a bunch of your friends in it, if it was me I would be looking to max out the amount of seating in it. Also it is not cost effective to buy 3 -10's right now just to switch to 2 - 15's down the road. You will be money and time ahead to just start over, a ported box for 2 -15's built under some bench style seating in the back sure would work well - IMO [/QUOTE]
