The Westfalia is a unique aural environment due to the high interior volume. With the front door work, particularly the mid bass driver with aforementioned enhancements, and a 12" sub firing out the dynomatted closet, it is possible to get a nice tonal balance in the van. The closet was a good match with respect to volume for the sub I installed..and still is useable as a closet. Dynomat was essential as the closet is not sealed in stock form. I did my audio upgrade in several stages, the last being the bass drivers in the door. I found that even with a sub in the rear, normally fine in a car, the front of the van lacked low end. Low frequencies are somewhat omnidirectional but in the Westfalia, the rear is a long way back. Max's stiffening of the lower door area is a great idea, and probably improves bass "cleanliness" appreciably. A little extra time with the door will be rewarded ... as you'll be sitting next to it most of the time. Max, what's the rest of your setup?
