Speaker/cd-player Advice For Jdm Bj-71

[LAVA]

Hi Folks

My beloved Lexy (1987 BJ-71) is in the shop getting a GS Cruiserparts solar converter installed and some work on my heating vents.

Once I get her back i'd like to start my search for a cd player...while i have no complaints about listening to the hum of her diesel chest....I wouldn't mind tuning into the FOX or playing my Kid Rock cd once in a while ;p

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for speakers....I notice that there are 2 spots in the front of the dash where they can be mounted....does anyone have any idea of the size? i'm guessing 4 1/4 but i'm not sure.

Would appreciate any suggestions or setups that you've used in the past

thanks

I have installed a sound system in my fj73. I used a double din clarion head unit. It was very simple to install just remove the old hu and use the existing wiring for ground power acc and dimmer. I cbf pulling my dash apart so i installed my clarion 6" splits in the doors 6x9" in the rear panels and ran new speaker wire to them. I sounds great and it cost me $300 for a quality system. Since then i have also put in a 4 channel amp and a mono block with a 15" sub but u dont need to worry about them . Here are some pics.

Also the head unit im running is not brand new i bought it off a mate for $50 second hand but it comes with a tape player. I have the tape with the head phone jack on it so i can plug my ipod straight in also my portable dvd players for some fun.
