System in a full size cargo VAN

[msrpIZtooMUCH 10+ year member]

Jack Frost,

How much deadener did you use for the interior...top, bottom and sides? Is your van the kind that has the doghouse on the inside and wheel-humps in the corners where your feet go? I assume so since we are talking about full size vans as opposed to mini vans, but just making sure we are on the same page.

Anyway, what did you do for your front stage speaker placement? Doors only? Kicks (almost impossible due to wheel humps, E-brake, not to mention the doghouse somewhat blocking the sound that would come from the kick area on the passengers side)? On top of dash? I would really like to know, because I currently am facing this.

What is the year, make and model of your van? Is it a cargo, passenger or conversion van? How many subs? What size? What kind? How much power? How loud does it get?

Sorry for all the questions, but you are the first person that I have found that has had / does have a SQ full size van. A good answer to the above asked questions would be a great help.

Thanks!

Why wont an SQ system work in a cargo van?

I think some of this has to do with pathlengths...Generally, people look for cars that are long and narrow as far as the front end of the car goes because its easier to get equal pathlengths for soundstaging purposes. That doesn't mean it can't be done in a van though. And time alignment can help out a lot as long as you don't care about the person in the pasenger's seat.
