STAN VAN ...
You are right that would be there on the top of my list,.,. so much so as I have already
researched some things mentioned on the web about this van..
I have a local Truck junk yard that I am real good friends with the owner
I have aquired the dual speaker console for the rear roof with the speakers in it
and I also retained the 6x9 brackets that go into the rear doors.
They are pop riveted in for those who dont know.. lol
I have on order a Kenwood Double Din system with Sirrus
I will get a small amp to puch the 6x9's and then a bigger amp for the
BASS speakers that will follow...

My van is a 2008, but like I said in a earlier reply, in the GM description it says w/chrome bumper. I also mentioned 9 square holes punched in the bottom of the bumper, 4 will not work (unless you want to make your own holes). But if you find more holes, you will need 9 #10's and 9 #11's. You may have to use a chrome bumper. Also you can save a lot of money going through Rydel online, or gmpartsgaint.com.
