| That applies more to Drag because of the dash. I believe the years 86-95. Mine was a 95 and if you remember, my numbers were sub par because of the shallow footwell (the blower was in the way). 96 and above (like Kumar's) don't have the blower in that area. Now on the glass because of the flat shallow surface area of the dash, my number was way better then in the kick.

| I would say so. Maybe some of the other guys can chime in.
BTW, if you look historically at the Astro in drag, most of the champions ran the older models. | |

| All quality subs yes and If he can find some on that list for less then $350, by all means he should jump on them if he trust the seller. I still think the BTLs would be his best bet since that is what the previous owner had in there. | |

| 4 of those woofers can be had from the manufacture brand new if you can get in tight with comp pricing .. im very sure of it... are we talking about the extreme van or a mod van? if its the extreme van.. the that list gets a little smaller IMO. lose the mt..wdx..deathpenalty and BTL.. | |
