System in a full size cargo VAN

I ran a search on this and found that most people believe that cargo vans are only suitable for all out SPL oriented systems.

Why is that?

Why wont an SQ system work in a cargo van?

I've always wondered about this. Like why can't you load a RV or a bigass truck full of subs and amps. I only see like astro vans at SPL comps

Go to search this forum-advanced search-type in VAN for the key word-search titles only-search general discussion-then hit search now.

Read through a few threads. It is said several times that vans are for hard core SPL.

But those who say that don't say why.

Astro vans are naturally loud for a wall... they're like CRX's in street. Not to mention they're cheap as hell.

Where's Jim at?????

Because some of us like listening to actual music //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have an SQ system in a full size van, and yeah, I get some odd looks when I pull up in the lanes to do an SQ run //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No reason why you can't do it. Usually the stock alternator is pretty beefy, and there's plenty of room for a large battery in the stock location for plenty of reserve Ah. Inside, you'll need to do a lot of install/prep work because these are commercial vehicles that were never designed to sound good inside. I needed to build up my doors quite a bit to get them to an acceptable level...but the stock locations were quite high up in the door.

Don't let the stereotypes stop you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

to the OP:

Once my dampening foam gets here, I'll post pictures of my buildup and SQ install in my full size van...it certainly can be done.
