Dave,

I installed 5" Pioneer speakers into my 1980 Westy without any problem.
As far as bass goes, good luck.  I ended up throwing a Pioneer amp under
the bench seat and then connecting a 12" bass speaker box to the end of
about 10' of wire.  That way I can move the bass to wherever it's most
convenient.  The sound is excellent now.  Oh yea, I forgot to mention
that I also added a couple of 5" speakers to the cabinet above the rear
bench seat.  Nice surround sound.

Subject: largest size for speakers in front?

Hi Folks,

I am trying to find out what the largest size speaker (and specific
brand?)
is (upper) for a 1986 Vanagon Westy.

I'd like to try and avoid installing speakers, down below at my feet, if
possible.

Currently, I have the stock, original 4 " ? speakers upper, up front.
I'd
like more bass and a more robust sound, and hope a bigger speaker can
help.

Anyhow, I'd love to hear your suggestions, and speaker recommendations
for
the upper slot. If I can't enlarge my upper speakers, I'd love to hear
peoples experiences of putting larger speakers down below. More bass
would
be groovy.

Thanks much,

dave bowers
