Excellent work. Just one question. Why did you decide to go with 15s over 18s?

we are thinking 18s for db drag but we are going to make plates to run 15s because memphis does not make an 18 and memphis is our number one seller in our shop so we will run the 15s for our local shows non db drag. and then switch to the 18s for db drag. we were planning on making the van just for our shows and do loud daily just to have something crazy to show off... but then we figured if we were building the van we mights as well make a ss3-4 van.www.BangInPink.com (New Website for Sound Check's 159.9 bass race van)www.soundcheckcustoms.com/audioforum

Frame is welded to axel but other then that no mods we planned from the beginning on this things being a trailor queen. But if the show is local and right down the road then we may chance driving it.www.BangInPink.com (New Website for Sound Check's 159.9 bass race van)www.soundcheckcustoms.com/audioforum
