micahmye Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 You get a van for free, so what do you do with it? Fuck shit up! And by fucking shit up I mean putting a good system in there. So here's my build log, I'm doin' this on a budget, so I'm not gonna get SOTM or anything but, it will get interesting. Here's the van: It needs some paint but overall it's pretty sexy. Teardown #1 grommets and vaseline work wonders for sealing sexy ass rca's two runs of Knu 1/0 putting everything back in is always the best part isn't it?

Marlo Stanfield Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Looks good man... Can't wait to get to work to work on my Astro i have in storage. Granted I'll be running a bit more products than you, but you can't go wrong with an Astro no matter what route you're going IMO. Plus they are tanks as far as running basically forever and being damn reliable. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...
