You now have the ultimate music collection for the van plus you can take that same source with you when you get out of the van sorry i cant recommed the base components but I would like to know if a technology like this http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_STATIC_PAGE_EVENT&url=/promotions/ 321_infomercial/features.jsp&ck=0 exists in car audio |
