[QUOTE="happy4ya, post: 8674524, member: 677016"] Thanks for all the input. I definitely have some more research and thinking to do on this. Just so you know, I was just going to the shops to check out speakers since some of them have sound rooms and get recommendations from people who do this for a living. And I will most likely be buying most of the stuff from a local shop I have been dealing with since I had my first car. As far as the install, I'm doing all of the work myself. And as much as I'd love to go all crazy and custom, I just don't have the time and don't want to put too much into this van since it is a work van with a little over 100K on it I'm not sure how much longer I'll have it. I have been wanting to do this since the van was brand new, but the last bunch of years between work, taking care of family and all left me no time to do this. I even bought 4 Audiopipe 6.5" mid bass speakers and 4 Audiopipe tweeters about 2 years ago that are still sitting new in the box. I was planning on making components in the front and back and reusing some old class AB amps I have from my old car, but it never happened. Now due to the smaller sizes and ease of install, I'll be selling them along with a ton of other old equipment I have and starting over. The only thing I have that I'll be reusing is the Rockford Fosgate dual 10" box. I did a lot of nice car audio installs back when I was in my early 20's, but have been out of it for 20+ years or so now and although I do know about most of what you mentioned above, most of that won't be happening with this install. With the exception of components up front (if I can find a good tweeter location), making some speaker adapters (if necessary), and some amp mounting plates, I am looking to do mostly a swapout of what's already there with as little messing with custom as possible.
