stereo speakers in a FJ40

[pontiota]

I made these boxes and grills out of Aluminum I also made a "very custom" box and covered in in fiberglass for the 8 in sub thats under the seat between the gas tank and the tool box (tight fit)
It sounds great and the sub makes up for the smaller speaker sizes, 3 1/2in in the dash and 5 1/4 in in the back.
I'm not to good at this picture thing so here goes

The speaker bracket is mounted to the side of the glove compartment.

Another option!

I mounted a pair of indoor/outdoor speakers on the front verticals of the rollbar in my '77. It provides a fairly decent experience, but I'll definitely be adding some smaller speakers up front under the dash to round it all out.

Using simple black pipe couplers (chosen to match the diameter of the roll cage piping)found at Home Depot, I was able to securely mount the brackets attached to my in/out speakers. I did have to snip the rubber bits of the coupler to allow them to overlap and provide a tight fit - see attached photos.

thanks rudi. what size is that speaker in the bracke? I like the marina blue color of the other FJ my favorite color maybe.

 

[bj40green]

From memory... the speaker was 6 or 8Watts and 6"x4" IIRC.

I'm using the same Polks that fj718 is using, but have mounted them behind the seats:

Pretty inexpensive on Amazon:

I made these for my cruisers, and have made a few other sets for people, I might start making more, because I haven't seen a cleaner looking box for speakers in a cruiser.

I know this is an old post but do you have plans for these?

 

[Toyota FJ40]

Wow, yes this is an old post - I haven't been on this site for years. I don't really intend on making these again, or the fronts that matched. If someone wanted to make a few sets I could likely dig up the templates and sell the templates to someone willing to make them.

radio shack speakers on a polycarb sheet overhead...

 

[NHFJ]

I put some 5 inch all weather speakers in a pair of chrome kc daylighters I had ,retro look and sounded great...

 

[Fillup4]

For me, marine speakers mounted to the base of your roll bar just behind the seats ...

Might want to read post #32 in this thread. That was also the last time he was on Mud.

 

[76lcmike]

tlc4x4 sells some speaker mounts.

it says they work with the kick vents but it sure does seem like it would make them difficult to kick open. Does anybody have these?

ah, crusher already linked to these.
