snafu Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hmmm . . . . I'm loving this. Definitely brings back the memories when Astro vans ruled. I've seen LOTS of variations over the years - (9) 18s, (10) 18s, (12) 18s, (12) 15s, (16) 15s, (18) 15s, etc. The (16) 15 and (18) 15 installs stand out. At one time, Greg Cobbs had (96) 10s in his Astro before converting it to a dB drag van. I never heard it then, but rumor has it that it moved a ton of air. I also remember a van that Chris Lewis built back in the day that they called the "pipe organ van". It had a bunch of 15s (16?) loaded into Sonotube and was rumored to do in the 140s at 10 Hz. Keep in mind, this was in the '90s. I say, build it like you want and screw the meter. But, that's just me . . . Now, it may be time for me to hit up CL and find a clean t-top IROC-Z so I can build something to park alongside it . . .

Gumby688 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I say keep the outside 100% stock looking. Then when a cop hears the boom that van would be last place they would look. Set up wise maybe something nuts like 30 10's for a change of pace rather than huge subs. Edit: maybe a cool idea would be to run a contest and let us fourm rats pick the build . sooooo you want a rape van??? I say keep the outside 100% stock looking.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Oh yeah. An Astro? You know I'm tuned in! hahaha! 4.3 Vortech. Only a rare few piece of crap vans were sent out the door with 4 bangers in them. ...as if the 4.3 isn't bad enough. Steve, I must say- I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Once you get done with your Astro, I will be able to die a happy man. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

MrSkippyJ Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Ooh an Astro! That was the vehicle that really started my need for bass. I heard one with (18) 15" JL W6s and (6) VLX-400s. From then on I was hooked.
