Hi Tim,

I also have an '85 Weekender and I did the following:

Pioneer 25x4 watt CD head unit ($100 at Best Buy) Pioneer 4" coaxials in the back cabinet ($5 on Ebay) Infinity Kappa 3 1/2" in the doors ($50 on Ebay) Kenwood 8" 80 watt powered tube subwoofer under the jumpseat ($80 on Ebay)

I went as cheap as possible on everything and installed it all myself. While it is patched together from several sources and certainly isn't "state of the art," it sounds like a freaking concert hall.

The subwoofer especially is a must to overcome that tinny sound that seems to afflict Vanagon interiors.

Hope that helps.
