ABSTRACT:
A window accessory for mounting one or more audio speakers within a rear window space of a vehicle includes transparent interior and exterior panels which together define an acoustic chamber for operation of the speakers. In one embodiment, speaker mounts are integrally formed with the exterior panel for supporting each speaker adjacent a speaker opening within the interior panel. The speakers may also be mounted by struts extending from a joint between the interior and exterior panels. A gap may be defined between each speaker periphery and the adjacent speaker opening periphery for providing an air baffle effect for the operation of the speakers within the acoustic chamber. The gap is sufficient so that separate air baffles are not needed. Method aspects of the invention are also disclosed.
