For reference the Puma tweeters are 1”, that might be helpful info to have.

As there are 3/4” tweets as well, which are too small.

I have Kicker KS Series 1” on mine, on a dedicated Amp.
They have a fitting kit with them and a securing ring etc for behind, they are very loud and crisp if needed. Mr. Green ____\We|Will|Win/___

Good point about the 1" and 3/4", I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Smile

Thumbs Up No worries, it can be a real pain when the wrong size can accidentally be bought. ____\We|Will|Win/___

Hi,
Unfortunately, I still haven't received a response from any of the stores... Apparently, the speakers I originally had in mind are no longer available.

Someone recommended these as an alternative:

Some datasheets:

https://media.focal-naim.com/dam/isu-130/f...130_en.pdf

Does anyone have experience with them in a Defender?
The feedback from a German dealer is very positive, although all of them are in other vehicles (some say they expected a bit more bass).

Thanks and regards

Unfortunately 10cm and 13cm do have their limitations with bass really, 160’s are better at least midrange, but Defenders have their fitting limitations, then there is engine noise etc. ____\We|Will|Win/___

Okay, thanks for the assessment Smile

I read more tests and comparisons of speakers, their crystal-clear sound, etc. – and then I thought to myself: Honestly, this is a Defender, not a Bentley. There's no point in exaggerating it; the car itself isn't exactly quiet...

I'll give the ones mentioned above a try and report back.
Thanks and regards

Good luck. The brand is a very good one. Thumbs Up

Yes, Defender background noise is very influential.
To be honest sound proofing / dampening is an upgrade in itself also, a reduction in background noise just by 3dB is a real benefit to SQ in itself.

hHehe, thanks Wink

That's right, the sound proofing / dampening effect is impressive.
My roof is still missing, but otherwise, everything's done. I didn't expect a TD5 to be so quiet...
