Narrow trim panel

This particular design of Defender speaker trim panel is narrower than the more common larger full width speaker panel trims fitted into later model Defenders.
The reason they were narrower was because they had to accommodate the upright strengthening bar fitted into the rear corners of the NAS/50th Anniversary Defender bodywork.

Accomodates strengthening bar

The NAS/50th speaker trims will fit all other Defenders but because the speaker panel doesn’t extend all the way out to the outer edge of bodywork, they will leave a gap in the corners where the NAS/50th upright bar would normally be.

Replace your flimsy speakers and trim

Original NAS/50th Anniversary Defender speakers were of a notoriously flimsy construction and given that all of those trims are now over quarter of a century old they typically survive in an extremely fragile state as per our own personal examples pictured here.

Here you'll find parts that relate to the product page you're currently viewing. They may be listed in the product description as additional components you will need, or simply a helpful suggestion for other parts along a similar theme.

OE Appearence

The MUD NAS/50th speaker trims are the only replacement speaker trims that are designed to accurately replicate the trims used in NAS Defender Station Wagons and 50th Anniversary Defender models where the demand for originality is increasingly a key requirement.

6" Speaker trim

The diameter of the speaker aperture/cut-out in the speaker trim has been sized to match the OE spec (Clarion) 6in sized speaker used in NAS/50th models.

Kicker speakers

The language around speaker sizing is often contradictory which can make selecting a replacement speaker tricky. For this reason, we ‘ve sourced high-quality 6.5in speaker options by KICKER Audio that will drop straight into the MUD NAS/50th Defender speaker trim with zero modifications required.

Speakers you know will fit

The shallow dimensions of the KICKER speakers mean there is no risk of the back of the speaker cone touching the bodywork that can often occur with deeper depth speakers.

FYI. When selecting a speaker the maximum speaker depth should not exceed 64mm.
Note that the sound insulation material pictured is not included with the speaker panels but is an effective way of ‘beefing’ up any audio install by adding weight to the plastic speaker panel. For improving noise levels in your Defender check out our Dynamat range of products.

Fit larger speakers

The speaker cut-out in the trim can be enlarged to match 6.5in/6.75in sized speakers that use a larger (approx) 140mm diameter cut-out. Most new speakers will come with a cut-out template.

Fitting Tips

The plastic across the top edge of the speaker trims will need trimming to suit your car. We leave this area untrimmed for those customers who are not installing the trims into a NAS or 50thDefender and just want to install a basic speaker trim. Trimming of the plastic is easy with a multi-tool or Dremel type tool. The trim needs trimming to clear the fixings for the rear door striker on the LH side and to clear the interior lamp switch on the RH side. On NAS & 50th Defender, use your old speaker trims as a cut-out template.

Edges conceal for the perfect fit

On Defender Station Wagons, the rear quarter window trim will always conceal the top edge of the speaker trim so any trimming you do isn’t visible.

Alternative MUD Speaker Panels

These speaker trims are designed to fit the 90 NAS Station Wagon or 50th Special edition.

We offer a range of alternative panels if you have a soft top, or standard Defender model.
