I'm am sourcing from Crutchfield and I really appreciate that link to the
learning area.  I will do some studying and go forward.  Seems I learn
everyday just how much I DON'T know.  Thanks to this darn van.
BTW-Repaired a floppy arm rest the other day and decided to take them all
off for seat covers.  After the first one, easy-schmeasy.  Thanks for all
the advice.
