Default 02 G-Caravan Speaker Inf & Install Question

I have a 2002 Grand Caravan Sport. It has 6 speakers and a tweeter looking thing on the rear post.

First - Is there a Sub woofer in this thing some place? Man it sure sounds like it. What kind or size and where is it located.

I just installed a DEH-P5200HD head unit and its associated XM box. It had a JVC deck from 2003. What an improvement!

It is not the Infinity speaker system (no infinity logos anywhere) but man it sure sounds MUCH better. Even the Bass is clean and fairly tight. This Pioneer is killer.

What I want to know is how much trouble is it to change the speakers? It seems like when you start ripping panels off they never go back the same or as tight.
Can I get a general pain in the A description? The dash looks like a real pain.

Thanks

no sub woofer. 2 in the dash, 2 woofers in the doors, 2 or 4 in the rear quarter depending on the system level

WoW, I have a 2005 Silverado with the Bose Premium system and it has a little factory sub under the center console.
The 2002 Grand Caravan with the Pioneer head unit sounds better as far as Bass goes.

I sure would like to see the speaker schematics for the van.

Thanks
