Roof top box, with some special considerations. You'll want to drill extra holes for ventilation, but size and place them carefully to avoid turbulence or ingress of inclement weather. Have a cushy bed in one corner for him to curl into and snooze, and carpet the rest so he can roam and pace with sure footing. Provide an assortment of small toys so that some of the roaming is somewhat less mindless. Spill-proof water device of course and availability of dry food. Litter box in a corner farthest from the bed.

The space between the bottom of the box and top of van will provide a good measure of sound deadening, but you should probably check out your sound system to be sure the volume can be raised sufficiently if necessary.
