Defender subwoofer installation

I wanted to fit a sub but wanted to try something that looked like it may have been fitted from the factory.

It’s a wip but I think it looks ok.

Low profile subs fitted to a d2 sub housing.

Nice, how does it sound? 2.4TDCI 90 - everyday brilliance
S3 V8 Lightweight - in the garage being ignored #newchassistime
S3 lightweight - 2nd car 24V fire risk with a full tilt and the windscreen down
S1 80" - first car fun - 75mph in neutral downhill once #wobblesallround

Not tested yet. If the suns out tomorrow I might get it test wired and see if I’ve wasted my time.

That does look ‘factory’ so let’s hope it performs well 👍

I have a low-profile sub mounted to the back of the cubby, it's been bugging me forever.

Funnily enough, I went to see the audio shop guy to do something like yours, will post some pics when he's done. --

Hi, that looks a very neat job you’ve done there, have you put any Dynamat on the internal door skin? If not I can highly recommend adding some, look forward to hearing your findings when it’s connected

Thanks Paul,

I’ve ordered some from eBay and some grey leather. I’m going to retrieve it all. Clean it up and spray the grille.

I planned on sealing up the rear door and then sealing the new door card to the door with foam stripping.

I didn’t get a chance to test it today as it’s been raining and I’ve ended up in the pub.

Steve.

Here is my experience with acoustic insulation. Ripped the car apart numerous times. Stuffed in every conceivable place.

I actually did as much research on Defenders as I could find to get your experience. Visitor - Freelander owner

Hi
what is the diameter of the speakers why not choose just one but with a larger diameter?

Hope it sounds better than it does in a Discovery, Land Rover definitley needed more acoustic training back then!
