I just put a set of Blaupunkt 5 1/4 speakers in my scirocco - they sound great with only a limited amount of power. Plenty loud enough - even without an additional amp. Just to give you an idea of my standards (I know people who think the stuff that comes with a car sounds good), I have $700 Bose speakers in my house. These speakers sound supprisingly good. Especially considering the price ($50 at Costco). They fit (with a leeetle cutting) in the door of my '80 scirocco. I think that you should have no problems getting them into the door of a vanagon - more room there. Depth is not a problem. If you want, I can post the model number tomorrow.
