For music, I picked up a JBL PartyBox100 which connects to my phone by Bluetooth and does a remarkable job of filling the van with bass-heavy music.
The bonus of this set up is:
1) I can also utilize the speaker outside of the van while BBQing or whatever.
2) I don’t have a car stereo to be stolen.
3) No installation required (I can focus my energy on other areas of the van).
4) I can run it for about 6-8 hours without needing to worry about draining the van battery.

I use the same blue tooth speaker technology w/ the orginal ozt angle 3 a much smaller version charge lasts a fews day if conservative w/ volume an a tablet in my ocean cruiser
however the AVIC is much more than a car radio. it's the best stereo pioneer ever made now they make crap from overseas.
stereo/Nav/MP3 player input w/ flash drive/SD card I pod or video in. plays dvds I don't have but also plays windows7 media center WTV files video out to a larger screen. all this voice controlled hands free calling ect. there's a reason pioneer was selling them for $1800. back in 09. I've only bench tested the AVIC w/ one of my new speakers an it sounds amazing. will sound better after it's installed an get the speakers sorted out properly.
I just hope it's not stolen. I look at it this way it's a old van who puts an expensive sys, in a vehcle like this. so I fly under the radar an I certainly don't cruise around the neighborhood blasting tunes.
after the install windows will be ecthed like my other vehcles.
since your a expert on mobil audio pls add your 2 cent to my install plans. thanks
Need advice on speaker locations.
