Exclamation Stereo and Hatch Questions: I REALLY NEED HELP HERE

I am looking into buying a 1987 RX-7 turboII, but at the same time was wondering 2 things
1) Most importantly, i have grown to like the drag style twin deck rear wing and was wondering if it is possible to remove the stock rear wing and replace it with such without affecting the Hatching opening and closing, because one could put one on the hatch bbut that would look funny is the stock setup was still there

2) On the other note i was wondering what the factory stero system is like and what it contains. I saw a picture that looked like it had a 2 stock 8" sub mountings and was just wondering

Thanks for your help because these factors will affect weither i continue to look into the car

The stock system is alright, assuming it works. You have to keep in mind how old the system is.

i pray your not thinking about putting a two story wing on a 7....please dont, the stock spoiler looks great, besides your never gunna go fast enough to need 2 story spoiler anyways....99.9% of the cars that have them, have more drag b/c of the wing then downforce...dont do it.

prepare to be ricer flamed. You put a double deck spoiler on your car and not rebuild the engine with a P-port first, and you're going to have the entire forum wanting to beat you with blunt eshafts. Prepare yourself.

EDIT: You're not very old, and you're a forum noob, so we'll have to leave it as you being ignorant in forum terms, and niave in style terms. That ******* rice **** may get you all popular in highschool with your immature buddies that think its cool to add nos stickers on there car and ****. I hope it gets you the ladies, cause you wont be getting any sympathy from the forum.

EDIT2: And to be contextual the stock audio system leaves MUCH to be desired. The system is 6 speakers, maybe 50 watts max, I can't remember. There are no stock 8" enclosures. There are however 6.5" round mids in the back (i think they were 6.5), and 4" woofers and 3(I think they were 3...)" mids in the front. That works fine until you get a free flowing exhaust. Then you need somethign that puts out at least 200 watts just to be able to hear the music.

Man such hostilities. If you decide to get a spoiler make sure its in good taste. As far the stock stereo goes it blows ***. Its a clarion built deck so it will work but not that great. I believe only the S5's had the mounts for 8" subs in the doors. My best advice is leave the stock spoiler and buy a new deck. There are enclosures in the doors for subs however. My S5 GXL has them but I haven't seen many other models that did.

As far as I know, my car only has 4 speakers in it; 6.5s in the rear and 4's in the dash, except that the 4's dont work. If you want to, you can make your own mounts in the doors. I've planned it all out, I just havent found the time yet.
And please don't get the twin deck wing. The only car I have ever seen that didnt look like **** with one was a 911 club racer I saw a few years ago. It didn't really look good, but it least it had a purpose.

Ew to the spoiler idea. Also, I can't hear anything from my radio system. Most of the time, the radio's off.
