I say put one on each side of the front, mounted backwards, give it an
insectoid look.

In fact, no, I've not seen a vanagon with one of these mounted, but no reason
why it couldn't be. It probably has been done, I've just never seen one. If
it's one with the amp built in, need to run a switched power wire to it as
well. Not hard to install, time comsuming perhaps if you need to fish the
wires, but even that goes pretty quickly (btdt). I'd put it on the front, just
to save wiring hassles.
