Right...
iv got an awesome pioneers sound system that i want to put into my van..
basically i want the finished project to be the ultimate "Party" bus so i have bought some outside waterproof speakers im planning on cutting them into the fibre glass hi top they are gonna be fed from my amp inside the van ill run the cables up through the carpet on the inside of the fibergalss roof.... which i wil have a switch for so they wont be on all the time.......
by cutting these holes for the speakers will i devalue the van much ill sell the van with the sound system so it wont just be holes...
what do people think??

would you buy a van with speakers poking out the side of a hi top???
