Well, I got in on the $130 package deal on Black Friday at Best Buy... I saw the Dual package last year (with the lower power handling subs, the red ones) and didn't bite.... especially after my friend got the same package a few months ago and it had reeeally weak bass. So I saw they had one package left, so I asked the car audio guy if I could hear the display model, and I was sold instantly. I'm not a big fan of bandpass, but it will do for now. Adequately loud :D

I'm half kidding by the way... I don't think I'd ever put seat covers or a spoiler on a silver 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan, but maybe just to try to be obnoxious and for something for other people to laugh at (seeing a civic with this stuff vs. a van is a different kind of laugh :hehehmm: )

Here's a pic of my car by the way:

Unfortunately I have 16" alloy wheels, so I can't put the cheap fake-spinner wheel covers from Wal-Mart :(

you should get the spinners, and duct tape them to your wheel so they can't spin. :P

The spoiler would let everyone know that the 3.3L engine (top of the line for 96 might I mention) can really make it move.

It's sad that I would want to replace the alloy wheels for standard with hubcaps :hehehmm:


Also, I'm thinking about black racing stripes. Vinyl's not that expensive, is it? Otherwise I'll use black duct tape.

I took out the 2 middle chairs and the farthest bench is in. A keg fits nicely in the middle with the subs/box :D

I bought a '92 3.0 Grand Caravan with 75K miles on it on Black Friday for well under a grand. Needs some minor work, but I hope to turn it and make a few bucks...

I'll take your 16" alloys and trade you some 15" steelies so you can run your spinners if you'd like.
