Component speakers are better.

Full ranges combine a "woofer" and a "tweeter" in a single speaker whereas a component set gives you a separate woofer and tweeter as well as a crossover to give you much better sound quality.

There are some "full range" speakers that offer excellent performance, namely things like Morel Integras. There are also CDT Braxials, but really the braxials are simply a component system with a tweeter bracket that installs in front of the woofer.

But overall, components are the better choice, but ONLY if you install them well. It's easier to make components sound bad compared to coaxials, but it's also easy enough to make them sound much better (in most cases).

What kind of van?

If you want to have the comp's sound good, go for kick panels. Q Logic has pre-fabbed ones, or you can attempt to make your own.

As for the subs, generally facing them up or to the back produces the best sound. You will just have to experiment to see what sounds better to you.
