Does anyone have any idea's which speakers would be a direct replacement (size and depth) to fit into a 1998 300 Discovery?  Looking for fronts and rears, leave the tweeters, they look a nightmare to replace.

I've swapped the head unit out for a Kenwood MP3 (nothing fancy), wired up the sub, and it to be honest, things still sound rather poor.  I don't need some big bling ICE setup, but if I could swap out the speakers without re-cutting etc., that would suit me fine.

Suggestions etc. appreciated.  :wink:

Thanks Neal - ideally I want better than those originally installed, but I may drop Jake a message to get the sizes etc.

I'm hoping people like Kenwood/Alpine etc. make a speaker which is not going to break the bank, and it the same size as those already installed.

Cheers

actually... 15cm sounds an odd size. you sure they're not 13cm or 17cm?

Whilst in Maplins they do a good 4 channel amp for £60, this will give your bass a lot more beef.

That's what I fitted in mine (300) some Sony Xplod one's IIRC.
Fitted some aftermarket one's on the rear - cut them into the trim and unbolted the original mounts - look fine but the sound is still lacking without an amp.
I did have a 'boot tidy' box I had built for in the rear and I had extended the face of it across the wheel arches to completely fill in the 'triangle' behind the back seats - used the space to fit some 6x9's which really did make the sound a lot nicer but have taken the box out now.

we have xplods fitted in our 110, chris... pair of 4in in the front and a pair of 6x9in in the back, fitted in a custom box. the 6x9's have taken bucketloads of water too when the roof decided to leak, and still work perfectly fine.

it would be either sony or pioneer (whichever you wanted) that we can currently supply.

My front and tweeter speakers are still original (for the moment  :wink: )
I have some JBL 6"x9" 2 ways in the rear corners on home made spacers.


Running from a Sony X-Plod head unit

I have removed the factory fit cd changer too.
There is also 2 subs in the boot running from a Sony amp.
Its not the best set up in the world but it does 'kick'
