[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8306283, member: 540940"] The van got regular and thorough maintenance. Trans got fluid changed about a month before we bought it -- probably dealership. It is as mechanically sound as a used 127k vehicle can be. The last suggested maintenance item was PS flush -- I'll do that myself probably at 1st oil change. Prob needs some front end stuff - there are some creaks and noises that I would like to improve. From what I've read sway bar bushings on these wear easy and are noisier than most cars. In my experience - it is a safe bet that an automatic transmission WILL fail at some point. USUALLY We who choose to drive po' folks cars are willing to take that risk and eat the ~$2k rebuild if it comes to that. But back to the audio -- I'm seriously considering a fiberglass sub enclosure. I did one in a trunk years ago. Wasn't much fun, but I did like the results. I think this one would be quite a bit smaller and less time consuming. Not sure about how/where I want to mount my amps. If the sub enclosure goes well I may consider something with fiberglass for those as well. [/QUOTE]
