After much deliberation and thought, I put an amp and extra speakers in my 300 Tdi.

The amp is under the drivers seat, whilst the extra speakers are mounted on a second speaker pod that I mounted on the rear door in place of the door pocket.



I had to attack the rear door quite carefully with a drill, jigsaw, angle grinder and file to make space for the backs of the speakers without compromising the strength of the rear door which has to carry the spare wheel.

I think it looks good and sounds better now. The speakers are only 6", but having four of them (aftermarket) does sound quite a bit more basey than the standard two.

Hi
I'd like to fit better speakers to my 300Tdi. I've been told the rear two in the pillars aren't standard and it also has two in the rear door but I don't know if they're subs or not. I only have one rear compartment that I can fix speakers in is mine an early one ?

I'll take it as a compliment that you obviously think the twin speaker compartments look 'factory'  :lol: . No, no Discoverys left the factory with twin rear speaker compartments like I now have. I fitted the second compartment.

The speakers in the rear pillars were not fitted on the absolute base specification models. They were standard on anything above I believe.

The two speakers mounted in the single pod on your rear door are subs, and will be driven by an amp that is physically bolted onto the back of the two speakers.

Having said they are subs, they are only 6" subs, so not as deep and basey as the 8" or bigger that the boy racers fit. However, 4 of them, with a 500 Watt amp is more than enough bass for me!
