Stereo speakers in Defender

[VladTepes]

FRONT

There are speakers in the bottom of the dash in my Tdi 130 (as owners will know). The quality is ordinary but I have some new ones to replace them.

HOWEVER my main issue is that at the moment there seems to be a lot of sound coming UP THROUGH the dash and reflecting off the windscreen, which makes for a tinny, crappy sound.

Is there some special means / method of installing the new speakers which will make them work "properly"?

Damn I hope that makes sense.

REAR

In my 110 ute I had the stereo place build some little MDF speaker boxes that went just under the b-pillars (in the rear corner of the cab) into the B pillars, to mount the speakers for that rear "fill". Is this the best option do you think?

SUB

Anyone know a good, well priced flat powered subwoofer (which I would mount to the back of the centre console).


Thanks

HI Vlad,

You can get speaker "protectors" or "baffles" like these ones

Universal 6x9 CAR Speaker Baffles Protectors Speakers Baffle 6" X 9" Pair | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/UNIVERSAL-6x9-CAR-SPEAKER-BAFFLES-PROTECTORS-SPEAKERS-BAFFLE-6-x-9-PAIR-/271315916069?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f2bb05525)

I agree that some little MDF boxes in the back would work well, I had something like that in my Series One

As for subwoofers I am looking at putting one of these in my P38.

Hi

One other thing, if you make the MDF boxes be sure to stuff them with acoustic damping material.
