[QUOTE="happy4ya, post: 8674485, member: 677016"] This is probably not going to work because of the size of the amp. Due to the size, the amp will not fit under either of the front seats without sticking out. The van is a work van so I need everything hidden (except the sub box), and I was planning on mounting the USA 2200 directly to the sub box and making a quick disconnect setup in case I need to remove it for work. It is also my personal ride, and I do uber/lyft so I do want some better sound in the back too, but I'm OK with just upgrading the back to some cheaper 6x9's and focusing most of the money/effort on the front and sub setup. I do want to use a newer class D amp for the main speakers since they are so much smaller. Even that 5 channel Alpine amp is about half the size of the USA 2200 and will fit nicely under either front seat with room to spare. What do you think as far as front speakers? 6x9 components? 6.5" components? I know there are more choices with 6.5's, but I figured the 6x9's would probably give a little more sound. The main thing is what to do with the tweeters. Trying to figure out the best spot for a "not too custom" mounting of them is proving to be challenging. And a Dodge Caravan is not exactly the most popular car for a stereo system, so I haven't been able to find any other ideas from people who have done them. [/QUOTE]
