I installed the Boss 800 bass box under the driver's side space and it does
great. I figured putting it under Driver to save storage space for
passenger area, and its mostly me in the van and want the full BASS effect.

It works great and though won't rattle the windows it complements my
standard speaker sizes for a decent sound. (I'm a purist and have stock
grills with new 4' speakers in the doors and a Custom Radio Corp CSS-5930BT
Head Unit for a clean, stock look.)

Cut and install was easy. Just grab a sawzall with a metal blade, take seat
out, tape with duct tape and start cutting. You will see where the lip ends
and can clean it up nicely. From their its easy to run the wiring to the
House Battery for the Amp and then remote from the head-unit. (another
reason I recommend going under driver)

The unit is a tight fit and you might have to take the logo off but it
works great, minimal molestation to the van and hidden out of site.

Good luck,
