2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Alpine White

This is in the MY12 workshop manual in case it’s of any use, but a search for that sub (Clarion SRV313) doesn’t yield anything useful to purchase, possibly due to age so can’t be any more help on that front.

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red

You need the LR specific SWE-1200LR from Alpine to fit this connector (the aftermarket SWE-1200 doesn't have this connector).

The Clarion above is from the SVX and has a totally different fitment (the SVX has a bespoke wiring loom for all its extras).

Okay thank you for the information.

lt's likely long ago discontinued but was worth asking, unless anyone has upgraded their subwoofer and is selling the OE one?

They do turn up, keep an eye out on forum ads and eBay.

l have this connector as well.

Can someone post a link to the subwoofer? Probably worth fitting it.

Being honest…it’s not worth the effort. The difference is negligible..

Unless you upgrade the Speakers (Focals) and maybe the head unit.

In addition in a 110 sound deadening makes even more difference.

In my 110 I spent hours and £100s to improve the sound… I wondered why I bothered

Disagree on that, I fitted a factory sub and I found it makes a big difference.

I intend to replace the head unit and speakers but not sure about extra sound deadening. l did all that in my 110 TD5 and it didn't make that much difference....it's not going to be like my 2022 Defender.

My 110 already has carpets, and floor mats over the carpets. That made the most difference on my TD5 particularly the rear floor.

Also l have a false floor in the back of my 110 Utility and that made a difference to noise levels. And a previous owner fitted plastic trims with storage nets.

lt's fairly quiet at lower speeds. On the motorway most of the noise seems to come from the engine. l might try some under bonnet insulation (although it made little difference on my TD5)

What did make a difference was, fitting a self adhesive D seal between the back of the bonnet and the bulkhead.
