Not a very common thing i think you will find, they are very poor for installs on the cabriolets due to the poor sound transfer.

That and the fact the cars are extra heavy from the all the extra floor pan strengthening and the weight of the roof.....usually means it doesnt get done often

You won't get it to sound good short of cutting metal......and i wouldn't advise that

Its all too enclosed it traps the sound

Get a decent set of components in the front and rear, money much better spent IMO
