[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 822001, member: 555251"] Woot, another cargo van...I've got plenty of experience working in and around these (I drive a '94 E-150 half ton myself). Personally, I would upgrade to a lower-end Alpine unit...just for reliability's sake. Amping your front speakers is a very good idea...you shouldn't need more than 75-100w. Ditch rear speakers in a cargo van. There's absolutely no need. Depends on your liking. I've been running a single 12" ported, and it gets plenty loud, but in the coming months I might upgrade to a 15" or two. It all comes down to personal preference. We're lucky in this regard that we don't have to worry about silly things like enclosure size like almost everyone else [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] You could bridge the rears to the sub, but generally that's limiting in how much power you can send to the sub.
