90 dash speakers

I'm trying to get some speakers for my 90, but i'm struggling to find some that are shallow enough to fit even with the adapter rings. was hoping for some focal integration, but just don't think they will fit. any suggestions?

Are we talking a Puma Defender? And also what speaker size do you have? Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

sorry, its an early 1990 90 defender, they are 4" (100mm) fronts. i've bought the genuine land rover fitting rings, but with the wiper motor behind the n/s speaker, it doesn't look like i can get much in there

Buy 4 lots of spacer rings and fit two per side mate, does the trick and still looks like a factory finish

They are at work, but guessing the rings are only half an inch deep

Never had a problem with mine on standard LR rings. I'll try and measure the old speakers depth for you tomorrow. Just fitted 130Vrs vocals in mine. They are shallow mount with a tweeter and well worth the money. The tweeter alone will totally change the sound , if I could only do 1 mod to the set up that would be it. I'm sure the 100 mm focal K2 's are a direct fit or the coaxial integrated. Like I say I'll measure tomorrow for you and post some pictures when I'm on the laptop

Measurements as promised. Old speakers were 50 mm deep, and fitted without a speaker ring.

I then put the original speaker ring and grill over the top to retain the factory finish.These rings are made on a slant which measures 15mm narrowest and 22mm at the widest point. So using these rings potentially you could get a 65mm deep speaker in no worries.

Heres a bad picture but will give you an idea

I have recently upgraded to 130 (5") focal VRS which are 48.5mm deep and again fit without speaker rings. They are infact a tighter fit on drivers side.

better sound due to larger cone,and are a tight fit. Biggest advantage is the addition of the tweeter which lifts the sound stage. Here is a picture showing what is behind that end cap. It is realativly easy to remove 4/5 screws then pull out and down. It has a couple of locating dowls.

Hope all that helps
