need to get rid of the jap radio.Has kenwood speakers.areial is buggered.Dude for my local DSE store had a panasonic package with 2 x speakers for the barn doors.$235.Looks like a couple of speakers may fit in either front doors,under the E/Windows.Don`t really need the CD.Just AM/FM radio.Preferrably 1 that will slot right into the the space provided.Any issues to be aware of re the 24volt electrics?
Thanx men...

If running off the old stereo setup, it'll be 12v. Be aware that the factory reducer may not handle a decent stereo. I run a seperate reducer for the stereo, as it could'nt run the new one.
As for speakers, you will struggle to find ANY replacement front speakers, as they have a mounting depth of around 23mm from memory, unless you put spacers on, as they will foul against the electric windows.
I was going to space mine, but it would mean cutting away the speaker grill on the front doors to do this, which I thought would be ugly.
Replacement masts are around $50, new antenna's are $500, can't get anything aftermarket to fit.
I get all my gear off Trade Me, as there are some great deals on there, and the MP3 makes a huge difference with not having to change discs all the time, and the music is free to download from Limewire.
I also like to listen to a little music off road, which gets expensive when you keep snapping the mast off on trees when listening to the radio
Hope this helps,
Dave

hiya... davem has a point...
when offroadin with an ipod plugged in, ya cant get any 'cd skip'..
thats gotta be one of the most irratating things..
in regards to an aerial, can ya just hook the cable up from the back of your stereo to a cheap replacement aerial jobby but mount it in cab somewhere like inside a roof lining or behind back seats or even hide it somewhere flush so its hidden but still runs the length of the vehicle? just a thought...
good luck..

i was having a close look at the radios in the machines at work and noticed they are 24v they are vdo and built to withstand a dusty enviroment have chunky rubber buttons to handle the knocks and keep the dust out
the ones in the machines at work are radios only but i went for a little look and discovered they make cd and tape players in the same lineup
