I wasn't going to but the stock speakers have horrible cone breakup and it's driving me absolutley nuts. So I might aswell.

The system has to be simple and mostly from items I already have.

Space is a consideration since the vans main purpose is work (lots of tools supplies etc in the back).

The Vehicle is a 1997 AWD Astro Cargo Van.

2 seats and the rest is wide open (1 parts shelf a foot or so back from the drivers seat all the way to the back doors).

I'll use an RFX-8240 for source. (Maybe I'll fashion a feaux 'stock deck' face.)

I have a set of old MB Quart separates

6.5" QM 160TC mids

1" QM 19HC Titanium tweets

with Passive crossovers.

Figure stock (door) locations maybe tweets surface mounted on the door somewhere.

Use my Nakamichi PA-2004 to power the entire system.

MB Quarts should like 100W a side.

That leaves the rear channels for the subwoofer.

I was thinking a single 8" or 10" sealed.

I don't need a boom van just a lil sub frequency.

Any suggestions on a cheap sub?

Maybe RE8??

Maybe TB8??

Maybe eD8A?? still available?

Maybe eD 10kx??

SI prototype 8" or 10" (.. come on Nick got anything?)

Need a good performer in a SMALL box.

Budget is as low as I can get away with and be happy.

I know that's not much help, but I wanna play this one cheap since I already have all the other stuff.

I might consider ported if I can have my snappy bass, I don't need crazy volume as I don't really want to attact the neighborhood B&E crew.
