I have the 10 inch Bazooka EL 104 Here's the link: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-RQGfa812ZiC/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=10&g=510 &I=204EL104&o=p&a=0&cc=01&avf=N&search= I just toss the Bazooka under the rear seat. You have to fold the bed out and take it in and out from the back, but its easy to do. I didn't even strap it in as it stays in there, only two wires for the speaker itself. I installed a 100 watt amp above the glove box to the bottom of the dash as there is quite a bit of room in there. I use an on off switch for the amp and an low level alpine gain control to set the gain on the sub from a tiny knob on the dash. This way when a certain song comes on like some Lynard Skynard ( http://www.magic-tab.com/a/Sweet_home_alabama/index.php) I can turn on the sub amp and crank up or down the sub to where I like it. IT WILL ROCK YOUR VANAGON BABY! BELIEVE ME! The only problem is my rearview mirrors JIGGGGGGGGGGLE WHEEEEEEEEENNNNNN THEEEEEEEEE BASSSSSSS ISSSSSS PLAYYYYYYYINNNNNNN.
