Another box build

ok guys and gals... i am doing a box build and guess what for... my mini van... not so mini lol its a grand caravan... pretty long..

i have built it to fit in the back nice and snug so not to much movement... im putting 4 alpine type r's out of my stealth in it cuz its store for the winter and well im doing the custom build this winter any way so it has to come out...

i wanna vent it but not sure whats best, put the tubes in it like professional looking things or cut openings in the build and "box" style the vents?

also i havent really looked into it yet but is there a harness for 2001 grand caravan?

Hey Mike, Theres gotta be a harness for your vehicle. Search Metra maybe. Also I see in your sig you're installing a CarPC! Thats awesome. If you have any questions about it let me know. I've had one for about 3 years now.

CarPC = amplified system = using only 2 wires out of the harness = don't bother IMO, but yes it is one of the most common harness adaptors on the planet.

I'd like to see a pic of 4 TypeR 12s shoehorned into a Stealth!

You are going to need a dash kit too. The dash kit will have instructions on how to remove the factory radio. What year is the Caravan?

Oh and good job on the Stealth. Those things have NO room.
