I'm just wondering what you hatchback owners encountered when installing your stereos

as for hatchbacks the only problem that i have encountered is rattles and some minor hatch jumping.... but otherwise they kick arse for good deep bass.

the only problem in the hatch that i have encountered is the rattles and the jumping of the hatch but that can be fixed on some cars with a few minor adjustments to the latch. In my 300 zx i had hatch jumping but it did great for spl. I think that you will be pleased.

I have 2 12w'3s with 400wrms a piece in a hatchback and it sounds tight as hell. From what ive been told(could be wrong) if positioned correctly in a hatchback your trunk acts like a loaded horn enclosure. Anyways, hatchbacks are the best in my opinion.
