Topic: Econoline van build
looking for some advice or tips on building a econoline van for spl, from tuning to anyhting else some one has stumbled acrossed. I have heard Riley and perilo ran econolines Currently I am competing in Street Max Upgraded to four 18" woofers two CS 5kw amps soon to be two more amps. Seems my peek freq is around 57 hrz. Also curious on thoughts on a all steel box??? I know an E250 isn't a ideal spl van but price was right and it works for me so far.

NOt all street rules apply to street max. I ran this last year with a diff set up but same box. like 15 shows with this vehicle. I prolly wouldnt be able to compete if they ruled out vans i use this one for camping the weekends i hit shows out of town. Laugh it up but saved me well over $1,000 not having to pay for hotel. Campgrounds are cheap and have a lot more fun there vrs being traped in a htoel.
