Welcome to the forum!
It looks like Classic Car Stereo is selling the Custom Autosound bar as their own. I have one, and had no issues installing it in my ‘76. Obviously I don’t have the rear window compartment, so it’s definitely different. Here’s an article about installing it. Where exactly is it hitting?

the spearkers hit the hinges for the r3ar window tray. Cas says they never had that problem. Meanwhile I’m finding it all over the internet.

I think Joey has stereo trouble. I have one in my 77. Sounds pretty good, not great maybe, but pretty good.
I run open chambered exhaust. No mufflers. I wake the dead. I never have to turn the head unit way up. Makes plenty of sound.
No issues with fitment, but I wanted mine up high so I screwed it to the back wall.

The '73 I got recently had one of those in it. Previous owner replaced the storage doors with a wood plank that had an 8" subwoofer mounted to it. I didn't like the sound at all, but I'm used to high-end stereo equipment.
Without the subwoofer, the little speakers in the soundbar won't have much bass at all. I would look into at least some kind of small subwoofer to go with that soundbar.
I ended up finding the car had a top-of-the-line Kenwood 800W amp under the passenger seat! Way overkill for that soundbar so I'm working on a different speaker set up.
