Hey, so i was going through my garage today, and came across a bag with a bunch of speakers i bought back when i had my supra. I was thinkin "maybe i should put these in the celi, but, i didnt know where. So i though, what about the Hatch cover?? But then i started thinking, how would that sound?? Would it rattel the crap out of it?? Im still not 100% on weather or not i wanna do this. It was just an idea that came 2 my head.

I had done this thing and i regret it very soon..
Except from the vibrations, in a month my hatch cover was destroyed.. The bent that caused by speakers weight, was horrible and i had to buy from toyota a new cover, for about 350$... The two tubes that the cover has for reinforcement are not enough to keep the weight, and this thing also affected the (i dont know how do you call them) two suspensions(??) that keep the hatch door open.. The heavy wing plus the weight of the cover with the woofers made these things so weak, that i have to hold the door with my hand in order not to fall in my head when i am looking into the hatch.. You can remove the two cords that connect the cover with the hatch door, but even in that way you have still to face the problem of cover bent..
I would not suggest it..
