ronnie_rotten Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I need to squeeze some speakers into my truck cab. I gotta have tunes in my truck. In the past i've simply put 2 house speakers where the middle seat would go. Nice and loud, but not practical this time. Don't think i want them door mounted, cos all the noise just ends up at knee height. Likewise with lower dash mounts. I'd be prepared to hack up the headlining and set some home made or bought cabs up high. I'd love to see some pictures of what you guys have gone with. I need inspiration to get started. Cheers.

fender1234 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 ive got 6x9's behind the seats, two 6x9's in the sides of the cubby box and an amp under the passenger seat to power them. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 mine were in the headlining above each seat. ditched them now as the vehicle is too loud to hear them unless you crank it up so loud you get a headache and thats with speakers there or at Knee height!

Guest diesel_jim Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I used to have a pair of 6x9's mounted on a piece of MDF, wedged ahem, securely screwed between the two seats behind the cubby box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have a pair in mine albeit a hard top let into the headlining at the sides just above my ears. They work a treat Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Not a truck cab, but in my hard top I've put them in the dash in the end and they are fine. no problems in hearing my tunes! Though, when I have some spare money i'd like to update them as they are only standard Landy units. = ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 In a 130/110 or td5? 90 you can put some 6x9's in the front face of the seatbox, good sound and by making them a really really right fit there isnt much disstortion at all so you get decent base. Shame i wrote the car off otherwise i would have got a pic for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkthe1 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have a pair in mine albeit a hard top let into the headlining at the sides just above my ears. They work a treat Mo i did the exact same, and besides being slightly deafer-i had a twin sub box on the bulkhead behind me!-it worked really well. 6-9's might be a bit big though i had a pair of 3 inch alpines with tweeters in the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front grille has come off one but they are high enough - midway - so heels do not kick work well - go gently regards chrisp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Knowing well Land Rovers are real leaking objects, how can one fix speakers under the seats behind the car? I took a little tour in my defender under the carpet lining (i have not got seats behind mine yet) and I gaped in awe!! Limping Catfishes from the Bahamas!!! It was wet soaked wet. Speakers anywere there would definitely join in the the party of rottening to the chasis!! I dunno.... might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmerboy Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 in my land rover they are fitted next to my head in the roof lining. however i do not use them because i like to hear what the car is doing/ how much it is breaking but this is only because i just got it and do not know the condition of everything yet. i am planning to rebuild the axles soon and maybe change the engine. then i will not have to worry as much.
