I would put it on the opposite side to help push ditritus to the overflow.

your getting the MP40w right? battery backup? You'll have to post some pics of some nice waves. Where did you get the Vortech from?

You could get by with it on the overflow side if you place it low, without a dry box it wont work though, it'll get wet.

Is there any room on the side of the overflow box? If no, it's going to to hard to put it on that end..

I have mine on the overflow side, but my overflow is external and not terribly deep... however like others have said there's no way to put them on the overflow side.
