WillyJ Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hey guys, I'm a new member around here. I've been lurking for awhile and decided to go ahead and make a post with a question or 2 I have. Okay, So My name is Wil, I came across a van, For free....Its a 1989 GMC Safari van, Only has 2 bucket seats in it, The whole back is open. Now, I'm not really looking into cramming a wall into this thing, Seeing as I use it to haul my race bike to the track. But, I wouldn't mind hooking it up. I've always loved systems, And my last one was a 15" L7 sealed, with 2000w Hi-fonics Brutus amp, Polk Mids and highs. I've been out of the game awhile, and my question is, Does anyone have a suggestion for a nice setup? I like LOUD. What are some decent subs people are using these days? With a van like this, should I use 12s? 15s? 18s? Ported? sealed? If you guys could point me in the right direction. Thanks! TL;DR Cliffs - New member - Free van - Need suggestions for a system, Not looking to wall, cause of race bike - Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sir, Road racing. WERA C supersport to be exact. As far as space, As long as I could take the box out, IF I HAD to, I guess it wouldn't matter. Just not something extremely permanent Budget...I planned on buying a van/truck for around 3000. So no more than that. Cheaper If I could..I'm not exactly looking for a 150+ Just pretty loud.

Supercharged DCs Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 2 XL18s will run in the $800-900 range, BC3500 is $599.99shipped, H/O alternator will be $400-500, 1 XS D3400 and a XS D3100 should be around $600. That leaves roughly $500 or so for 0awg wiring and box materials. A general 12ft^3 box tuned to your liking with 12-16sqin of port should work nicely Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakerman Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Same as above, either the DC's or a couple of Fi BTL N2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpindemlowzz Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 12 dc level 3 15's on 2 Crescendo 3500's would be loud haha. That right there is about 4000.00 without wire or electrical upgrades like batterys and alternators... box alone will be a few hundred in wood.
