Do be careful when you crank that bass-poundin' box up, though. While my 17 year-old son was climbing (more like jumping) up the Stairsteps at Syncro de Mayo this year in my Syncro, without a locking front diff, he had to get a bit rowdy to do so causing the skid-rails to get pounded into the muffler and floor of the van. When I asked him about it later, he told me he had the subs up so loud he didn't hear the very loud and painful (to me) sound of the rails getting bashed. He said he had the subwoofers cranked up rather high. (Subs were his, borrowed from his Gti for this event.) Got the rails bent back out, and now I want my own Sub system. But just watch out for too much *boom* to hear the *thud*! Ron A

Hey all - I've got a good alpine system installed in my van, but 4 4" speakers are just not cutting it for me. Is there a tried and true method for adding a subwoofer, amp, etc? I've pillaged 2 150 Watt amps and a couple 4" pioneers from my buddy's beamer. Will these amps suffice if I pick up a subwoofer? I'm not looking to blow the doors off, just to hear the bass. I'm thinking to put the subwoofer in the cabinet under the seat? Thanks for any advice/pictures/horror stories about previous setups. -eric
