Hi Guys after ideas for placing speakers in the back of a 97 defender

[rainman]

Wagon, single cab, or dual cab?

5 door wagon

Assuming that you have a wagon body, it's not too difficult to make up some boxes from plywood. A simple 'L' shape is sufficient as the other sides are formed by the body. Hold them in place with a couple of bolts and nuts through the lip. I did this ages ago and have had not difficulties. I can take a photo id this would help or if you're in Bris, drop by and take a look.

BTW, The speakers were Sony XPlod, I think about 10 x 8 inches.

Have a look a this pic (from a 110), I'm having a similar setup done in my 90 with JBL 6x9's

I've got a 2001 TD5 with draws and can't workout how to remove the pannel where you have the speakers in the photo.

To change the number plate light I had to bend the panel and I have the feeling that the "floor" has been put down hiding the bottom screws/bolts

Rusty, I fitted ovalspeakers in the corners above the rear windows either side of the door. Made a couple of spacers to keep the magnets away from the body and being up at roof height it doesn't matter what you have piled in the back, you get unobstructed sound.

Theres a small outfit in the UK that make plastic speaker housings to place in the same kind of position scott oz has put his. I've forgotten the name now

I got a pair off ebay uk when I was that side of the pond. You can get ones that house 6x9 speakers and they take the place of the light housing surrounds and tuck in behind the window trim to look pretty much stock.

With the weak pound its a good time to order stuff from UK if your earning aussie dollars.

I just got their fuel filler cap - works so well that the petrol attendant walked all around the Puma without finding it
