80 Series Rear Speaker Door Pods

These pods provide a rigid, sealed speaker mounting solution that significantly improves sound quality compared to factory trims or plastic alternatives. By reducing vibration and resonance, they deliver:

• Cleaner, tighter mid bass
• Reduced panel buzz at higher volumes
• Improved clarity and speaker control
• Greater long term reliability on corrugations and rough roads

Each pod is CNC cut, hand finished, and upholstered in Australia using solid timber for superior acoustic damping.

Compared to plastic pods, solid timber offers clear acoustic advantages:

• Superior acoustic damping
• Reduced resonance and vibration
• Cleaner mid bass response
• Improved sound quality at higher volumes

Plastic solutions prioritise mass production and cost efficiency. Our timber pods prioritise performance, durability, and sound quality.

When installed with one of our recommended speaker models:

• No cutting or drilling of the door frame
• No metal swarf inside the door cavity
• No exposed steel edges requiring rust protection

This preserves the integrity of the vehicle and simplifies installation.

Our late 2025 design update allows the Speaker Door Pod to bolt directly to existing mounting points in the door frame, rather than screwed to the door trim.

This results in:

• A more rigid installation
• Reduced vibration
• Improved speaker punch and mid bass response

Mounting the speaker to the door frame ensures long term reliability and consistent sound quality on corrugations and rough tracks.

Our design securely mounts the speaker and seals it to the door pod, eliminating air gaps.

Air gaps allow the front and rear sound waves to interact, compromising the door cavity as an enclosure and significantly reducing mid bass performance. Proper sealing ensures the speaker performs as intended.

The design and construction of our Speaker Door Pods is inspired by experienced audio technicians, like Marty from FHRX Studios and Shaun from Automotive Acoustics, who both supply and install our products.

We do not manufacture low cost products offshore to maximise margin. We manufacture high quality products in Australia to maximise performance.

Our Premium Speaker Door Pods incorporate a bolt on speaker grille as standard.

We developed this design because clip in speaker grilles can work loose or fall out over time, particularly when vehicle doors are slammed or when driving on rough roads. A bolt on grille provides a more secure mounting solution and delivers a cleaner, more modern appearance.

For customers who prefer a more classic look using a traditional round speaker grille, we recommend securing the grille to the housing using small amounts of butyl rubber material, such as the adhesive backing found on sound deadener sheets. Using four small rolled pieces evenly spaced around the grille is usually sufficient to hold it securely in place while still allowing removal if required.

Installing oval 6x9" inch speakers in a 70 Series requires:

• Cutting the door frame
• Cleaning metal swarf from the door cavity
• Painting exposed steel edges
• Applying additional rust protection

We avoid unnecessary vehicle modification when it is not required.

From an audio performance perspective:

• Oval woofers can distort unevenly at higher volumes
• Round speakers provide superior staging and imaging
• 6x9" inch speakers can introduce interference between the woofer and tweeter, reducing midrange clarity

If maximum volume is your primary goal and these factors are not a concern, a 6x9" inch speaker can be suitable. An external amplifier is essential, as the internal amplifier (or power IC) in most head units cannot deliver the power these speakers are capable of handling.

With over 50 years of craftsmanship in automotive interiors and manufacturing Speaker Door Pods since the mid 1990s, we bring proven experience, precision, and attention to detail to every product.

We offer an optional fully upholstered ABS plastic door trim with a 3D moulded design to complement our Speaker Door Pods. ABS plastic provides a waterproof alternative to the factory masonite door card, which is prone to water damage over time, particularly in touring and off-road environments.

This upgrade also allows customers to select a full vinyl trim with no fabric insert, making the door trims far easier to clean and maintain compared to the factory fabric.

Benefits of the 3D ABS door trim upgrade

• The Speaker Door Pod and Door Trim are delivered pre-assembled
• Waterproof ABS plastic door card (eliminates water damage associated with factory masonite door cards)
• Fully upholstered in vinyl
• No fabric inserts to trap dirt or moisture

This option is ideal for customers seeking durability, easy maintenance, and a cohesive interior finish to match their Speaker Door Pods.

No cutting or drilling required

The following speaker models have been tested using our in house Speaker Compatibility Jig. Each model fits the 70 Series LandCruiser door frame without bending, cutting, drilling, or additional rust proofing.

These speakers can be packaged with your Speaker Door Pods. Contact our team for pricing and bundle options.

• Check your stereo’s power output ensure it can handle the new speaker load.
  
• Optimise the 4” dashboard speakers  many customers repurpose them for UHF radio use to improve clarity.
  
• Run speaker cables first for an easier installation.
  
• Use plastic trim tools, not metal, to avoid damaging clips.
  
• Install sound deadening inside the outer door skin for better acoustics.
  
• Apply cavity wax or rust-preventative spray before reinstalling the trims, especially for vehicles used in wet or off-road conditions.

• Enhance Audio & Reduce Noise: Applying sound deadening inside the outer steel door skin dampens vibrations and reduces road noise.
  
• Prepare the Surface: Clean with wax and grease remover for proper adhesion.
  
• Cut into Strips: Makes installation easier through smaller access holes.
  
• Maximise Coverage: Cover as much of the steel surface as possible for the best acoustic performance.
