This is what I was thinking - any pix? how did you mount them?

I seem to remember certain high end Dedenders - say the XS or limited edition ones had speakers up there. Maybe the new D110 has something we can use?

I just bought some jbl 6x9 speakers in speaker boxes then bent some sheet into L brackets and mounted to cargo barrier. I also switched the 4 inch int he front for JBL's and they made a huge difference,

the speakers are ,ounted top corners of the cargo barrier with 3 bolts and locknuts. they survived three weeks of cape york corrugations and lots of tuff trips with no issues and much better sound

come to think of it Noddy did something similar!!! I will have to have a look see next week at Kimba.

Any pix of yours aloa9061?

I'm in the process now, I have bought a pair of splits and have made a speaker box that goes across the top of the cargo bay just behind the cargo barrier. It is cut up towards the roof through the middle so it doesn't interfere with rear veiw. I have ordered a spare set of top cargo barrier brackets so I can mount the box between the existing cargo barrier mounts and the new ones which will be further back.
While on the subject, will a CD player mount in the defender and work?
I believe they have to be pretty level, how do you achieve that when the original is at about 48deg.?

LR Hydbrid,
I'm not far from you so just drop me a pm and come around and have a look if you want.

CD players will def work.

WOW Sight & Sound have some pre formed plastic speaker boxes of a few different shapes that will screw directly on to the roof liner. Didn't check to see if any would suit the defender but im sure they will have something.

is the sound of your TD5 not enough music to your ears???????

Defenders do have their own unique song on the freeway.
