The plan is to have a series of holes near speakers to allow a bit of airflow which will be covered with cloth to hide holes

can only try i just think it might cause the seals to leak

????????????? how will this affect the seals ? obviously they wont be fixed to the glass so it wont touch the seals.

I agree. Surely the vibrations caused by daily driving will be worse than anything that a pair of speakers could ever generate?
Unless you intend putting 20,000 watts through them!

Seems like a lot of work for rear fill speakers though. Why don't you put them in the usual rear pillars?
Being so high up and firing at each other.... I don't think you get any benefit over the normal position either.

you want good sound in your disco put some good speakers up the front fit a sub in and just leave your rear speaker with something not so special in the rear pillars

I'd be more concerned about the leaks from the alpine windows ruining your speakers! (if it's anything like my Disco)

Already put new speakers front and back but just dont seem to fill the space and sounds a bit tinny.Cant fit anything bigger in the rear pillars as they interfere with the rear seats. No room in the back to fit a sub as we use the area for cargo and kids. So thought up in the alpine windows they are out of the way and wont get damaged.Also we wanted to block out the rear windows to keep some of the hot sun out of the disco.Not going to play doof doof music so the vibrations should not be any worse than driving on a corragated dirt road.
It does seem like alot of work just for speakers but nothing like a challenge.
