In my Carat: Pioneer CD/MP3 head unit Pioneer 12 disc changer - mounted under passenger seat, accessible by a cutout made in the front panel Alpine 100wx2 amp - mounted under driver seat MBQuart 5.25 component speakers in front - flush mount door speakers clear the dash, tweeters surface mounted to dash, crossovers mounted under passenger seat Stock speakers in rear Bazooka 8" powered Subwoofer - mounted under rear bench
I'm not a hardcore audiofile, but this set up sounds great to me. The all-in-one sub woofers are often shunned by purists, but, again, to my unpure ear the bazooka sounds very good, adding more than enough bass and fullness. Except for the cd changer that came w/ the van, I picked up all components new on eBay. If you go this route, use caution, as sellers often have greatly inflated shipping charges and future warranty service may be an issue. Otherwise, you can get some good deals. I've got plans to add Sirius and iPod connectability. James V |
