better sound in 80 series Landcruiser

in this video i upgrade the sound system in my 80 series landcruiser using custom made speaker pods by Rob at Malaga car audio link;
and Alpine R-type speakers

[@southerndiy1]

Great video and the speaker pods look quality 👍 for anyone watching, I’d recommend applying sound deadening to the metal door skins while you’ve got the door trims off. Made a big difference in my 80, wish I took a before and after dB reading.

Thanks for watching and yeah I should have

[@mohamudgiirre9171]

Great video mate really enjoyed watching. Why didn't you put six by nines in the backdoors? Was there not enough room for them or it wasn't your preference?

[@njpw1402]

Hi Mohamud It was a bit to tight since I don’t have electric windows and the winding handle was seemingly in the way but maybe they would fit I’m not sure 🤔 thanks for watching.

Hey mate very helpful vid! Just wondering what head unit you went with and how much those speaker cards set you back?

[@njpw1402]

Hi Jake thanks I think I spoke with you on Instagram but for others information the pods were $500 for the full set and the stereo is KENWOOD but that particular model has been super seeded and I wired it in manually as the original wiring plugs were non existent, thanks for watching 🙂

Where did you get the special made door cards for these speakers? They look mint.

[@njpw1402]

Sorry I took so long to reply I got them from Malaga car audio in perth wa his name is rob and he custom makes them

[@CourtneyGross-zi5iz]

Hey mate, just wondering how thick those speaker pods were? Looks awesome mate. Good video🤙

[@njpw1402]

43mm at the thickest point thanks for watching 😊

Hi, very detailed video. I was wondering why you didn't use the existing holes in the front doors to put speakers in? In a HDJ81 (Japan version) that is the default location for the front door speakers.

[@njpw1402]

Thanks for watching, there is hole’s in the doors but they were not suitable for decent sized 6” splits and this made it look very neat and it may be that I have a hzj80 povo pack model 😊

[@xaviermanshanden1893]

Hey mate wondering what version you went 79 dual cab or single cab?

[@njpw1402]

Sorry Xavier they are custom made for an 80 series, thanks for watching

[@jessejames3280]

You should do a video on your light switches

[@njpw1402]

Thanks for watching Jesse, which light switches were you talking about 😊

New Alpines just to crank up some Charlie Pride?

[@njpw1402]

The past is in the past 🤣

[@mikecoulson4231]

It’s a shame it didn’t cover back door ash tray holes. Wonder if they would make them longer to cover it.

[@njpw1402]

Yeah that would have been nice and maybe I could have done something about that but oh well 😕 , thanks for watching 😄

[@Falcon_Overland]

Odd my type r speakers don’t have a problem with the grill. But they aren’t what they used to be but still one of the best these days. it goes alpine type r then Rockford fosgate power Series then focal. Everything else is absolute shit now.

[@njpw1402]

Thanks heaps Elliot, they sound good 👍 and I hope they are long lasting as I remember alpine was thanks again 😊
