Porting for BASS for a 300CE coupe w124

i took a quick glance at my rear deck, and i was wondering if it's possible to make cut outs where the rear glass and rear deck meet...like maybe 2 inch width rectangle cuts...
and have them done maybe like this rough text diagram:

____________ ___________ ___________
|___________| |___________| |___________|

this way they are close to the glass so they might get lost where glass and deck meet...(i guess the fact that i have a black on black car helps alot in hiding that kind of stuff too...)

then i wonder if this is enough porting to hear the bass...i would guess the fact that the bass would be coming up and bounce straight into the glass which would reflect the sound into the cab...might be a good thing?

any thoughts....

also anyone know where to get a remove how to for the rear deck?
i'm thinking of taking out the whole entire rear deck and porting it where the deck and glass meet, and then also doing a bunch of ports all over the deck....and hopefully preserving the cloth finish to give a stealthy look as if it's never been ported.

no i currently don't
i will be getting a reflex box...probably with 2 10's...but i want to port so that i can hear the bass versus just feel it...as i'm noticing is the case with the w124's "fort knox" style trunk....

i'm hoping to find someone that has a "how to" on removing the rear deck...if it's even removable....
hmmm
