Thread: Speakers for Defender - splits any use ?

JVC do not have them listed any more, Ryda do not have them listed anymore and Jaycar do not have theirs listed anymore either.
I have not been able to find anything of similar size.
So if anyone knows of anything or any old stock, please let me know.
Knew I should have scraped and got one.
Edit : Just found out the Blaupunkt unit has been discontinued in Australia as well.

Can anyone fill me in on what the connection/wiring is for a 2006 Defender in relation to the standard CD/Radio. I am looking at a new head unit and do not have a clue where to start.... I want to do the install myself, but really have no idea about the factory CD connections. Any hints on a good replacement CD/MP3 player with iPhone connectivity?

Can someone explain the difference between a 2-way and 3-way speaker please.

Its the number of speakers in the speaker.

2 way has one small (for high frequencies) and one large (for low frequencies).
3 ways has one small (for high frequencies) one medium (for mid frequencies) and one large (for low frequencies).

The difference is supposed to be that the more specialist speakers sound better working together (or something) in practice the quality of the individual speaker is wildly more important.

I'd rather have a good quality 2 way and an average 3 way.

This is the setup in my Puma at the moment, but I want to relocate the speakers to the rear roof corners to maximise packing space in the load bin:

I recently upgraded the stereo in my td5. The stock CD player had absolutely shocking sound. You couldn't even hear what was happening half the time! Especially at high speeds.

I upgrading to a tasty little Pioneer unit which you can plug one of those "IPods" into. The wallet got a bit lighter after buying the Ipod and head unit but I felt I could justify it as I listen to music a lot. I was also getting sick of constantly burning off CD's which would just stop working after 10 listens.

I imagine I was also the only 21 year old in Australia to not own an IPod until recently!

Initially I was going to upgrade the speakers not long after but surprisingly enough it sounds really good now, even at high speeds so I'll leave it be for now.

Has anybody come up with a method of fitting larger (6 inch) speakers into the standard 4 inch speaker holes ?

Not the most ideal location as we have already discussed but it is still a location.
