I got a friend who is in a wheelchair and got himself a new van. It has been altered to allow him to enter from the rear( joke). Now the problem is that their is next to no room for a traditional box. going to his place tonight and gonna take some pics, but im here for some suggestions on what to do and what to suggest.

I've put one in the drop floor of a wheelchair accessible van, but the gentleman was only ever a passenger. Does your friend lock himself in to driving position? Only suggestion is get creative.

Alpines new shallow typeR works really well in tiny boxes. My alpine rep has one in .25 cubes in the trunk of a VW golf and it hits pretty hard. It's a van, there should be room somewhere. How much room under that passenger seat? Those have quite a high seat frame don't they?

I'll second some "infinite baffle" subs in doors. I have some 6x9 subs comin from CDT, and I've never used any, but I have been doing a lot of reading about and that's what prompted me to order some. My aim is to run them as a sub to midbass transition In front kicks. Will run them about 60hz up. I don't know where I wanna hi pass or if I wanna run them till natural rolloff.
