Which SUV/Van to start a fresh build?
OK I am back into the car audio world after being away having kids for the past 15 years! I have been buying stuff for my system for the past 6 months or so when I had spare money. I have 2 - 12 Sundown Zv6 with a JP 83 that will push them. I also have 4 8 inch CT Sounds Meso that will be pushed by a Taramps Smart3Bass.
I was gonna use my main vehicle when buying this stuff but now I have pivoted to wanting a separate vehicle just for bass. I would probably want to go to shows and have fun, nothing too serious. That being said what SUV or van do I buy? In your experience is there advantages to a certain SUV or van for sound? SPL? just ease of converting? What are some ideas on which vehicle you could choose if you were to start a fresh build? Im looking to stay under $7-8k on a used vehicle.

I’ll be serious. Haha.
You should be able to get an older Tahoe for that money. You’ll have plenty of air space and available power for big alternators and extra batteries. Maybe a used work van to make a true SPL build.
I love square body s-10 blazers but they are getting hard to come by. What all do you have in mind?

I think I said this on DIYMA...but either a Sienna or a Sequoia

I was kinda leaning towards a 2000-2006 suburban to not hav e to worry about space once I start, but still have something I would like to drive around town and on trips. If I go with a suburban would it be a mistake over like an excursion or navigator etc?? I am sure there are tons of people who have done this before I was just checking to see if there is like a preferred go to that is waaaaay easier or should I just go with what I like to look at from the outside?

There will definitely be a ton of upgrade and maintenance options for the Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban due to their popularity.
