Thread: '95 D1 aftermarket door speaker replacement

I had the same problem a couple of years back when i first got my 95 D1. Great position aren't they? Anyway i found a Sony Xplod item fit perfectly. The part number is XS-GF1021X. They certainly put out a better sound than the landy original, however they are only a two way speaker. Hope this helps.

Try a bit of a search - there's been a few threads discussing aftermarket speakers for the D1.
I recall 5" speakers with smaller magnets were the ones that fitted best.

I did a quick search on "speakers" and found these on the first two or three pages, there will be more further back in time.

I fitted JVC splits to the front of mine, I had to put in a spacer 19mm ply but they sound sooo much better than the stock ones, I then put 6inch Alpines in the back to get the bass.

The standard spacer is against the door panel then the ply and speaker is last. The tweaters fitted under the factory covers and they came with a cross over box.

I have not ever managed to get photos onto this site so if you want some pm me and I will send to your private email.

Thanks for that post Waynep. I did have a quick search through the forums but didn't find what you came up with.

By the sounds of it (no pun intended), getting a decent sounding system into a D1 isn't going to be any small feat. The lack of locations to mount speakers and amps plus the volume of the interior is really going to make this a challenge. Not to mention the fact that this is my first Discovery and I don't yet have the slightest clue about where to route wiring, how to remove interior panels, etc. There isn't a chance that I'm going to pay someone to do it for me after seeing the butchering a local well-known chain store issued to my brother's Commodore. Imagine giving them a Land Rover to work on!

I think I'm up for a lot of reading and planning.

I always used the Alpine 2 ways in the front - good sound for their money.

have a look at this previous post Replacement speakers?

I had no real problems fitting mine in the RRC. Cant picture door trims for Discos in my head, but Classics have a large area at the lower front of the door that will take an RD series Alpine 6x9 plus you have the normal 4" unit at the top.
Pioneer, Sony X-Plod, Kenwood etc are NOT quality speakers. I run Alpine and JL Audio in mine. I highly reccomend the JL Audio for a mid to upper price range.
If you still have the std deck, just go with Alpine SD range of speakers.

Xmas list contains 1 more V12 digital monoblock amp, Focal speakers and Focal subbie, but just not sure which Xmas in the next 10 years they may eventuate in!!!
Alpine speakers
JL Audio

Hi all,
I am curious to know if the rear doors on a D1 are the same or similar to a DII...as the DIIs have speakers in the bottom of the rears doors to give some real sound. Anyone put components (or even just woofers) in their rear doors at all on a D1?

My D1 only has speakers in the front doors and rear cargo area. Both 4in units. I'll be modifying the rear speaker mounts to take 6in speakers.
