    Maybe I'm just thickheaded but I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here... Why would you want to go to the trouble of fabricating a new rear window just to accomodate speakers? That window has a compound curve, and I doubt a flat piece of plexi-glas would fit. In any case I don't think it would be legal on the street.

    Sam :)

    It's a "How loud can I crank up the stereo and NOT blow out the rear window" contest. :D

    I'm more impressed when you have a loud engine than a loud radio ;)

    all derision aside...

    What kind of wattage are you thinking about here johnson?
    Three comp twelves will certainly turn some heads, but a pair of solobarics will do the same job in less than half the space.
    I really wouldn't worry about the rear window. Put the subs in the trunk.
