The die hard golds are amazing. My dad has had one since 97-98 and he just replaced it after all theses years with a stereo installed. The first setup in that van was eclipse hu McIntosh 4 channel I don't remember to much about the speakers he had. The subs were 2 punch 15's and a Rockford Fosgate amp for the punch's. Then when the newer power series came out he went with the t10001bd 2 t1 15's diamond audio hex series components and a diamond audio d7 4channel. He slammed 24/7 in that van and the battery was just replaced. It took 14 years of abuse. soooo I thought I would post that for the OP
