I just replaced the 4" speakers in my 94 disco last night. It's going to be hard for you to go any bigger. The factory 4" speakers fit pretty tight as it is. I went with a Pioneers. I got them at Best Buy and they sound really good. Very crisp. I didn't want to spend a crap load of money on speakers so these worked great for me. Here they are http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1199494465638
I'll be replacing the subwoofer speakers very soon also. Both were blown and rotted.

well. i porbably wont go bigger then, my knee hits the for so i cant have them stick out any more, but when my stereo was put in they didn't hook the amp back up. I was told it was under the dash. I would really like to set them back up and see what else I need to add for more base.

I just bought speakers for the rear sub today. I bought a pair of 6.5's just like the smaller ones I replaced in the front doors and pillars. I'm not a huge base person but I do like a little bit of thump. I'll let you know how they sound when I hook them up. My Disco has the factory radio so everything Amp wise is still hooked up. I'm not going to replace the radio. I bought an Ipod adapter that works great. It goes into the tape deck and a cord runs to the Ipod, like the old school portable cd players. I was really impressed how clear the sound was, and it was just 19 bucks.

I just replaced the sub speakers with some pioneer 6.5's. It sounds great. If your not wanting to spend a lot of money I highly recommend the one's i used. Great clear bass sound.

I think I seen some pictures of the backside of the original speakers and they looked like they had some odd-ball connectors in order to route the wires all the way around to all of the speakers...did you encounter that at all? How did you handle it?
I'd suspect if they do have bizarre connectors, just determine which side is ground and do your best to rig something up...right?

I'll get some pics up soon. The rear speakers have an amp connected to them. The amp is screwed into the back of each speaker to hold it in place. I just took some double sided tape and taped the amp to each speaker then ran some scilicone around the edge. I didn't mess with the amp connections at all. I just cut the wires that were connected to the original speakers then connected the wires to the new ones. It took me about 30min to replace the rear speakers.

Maybe I'll pop off the grill this weekend and take a peek at the speaker arrangement. I'd love to upgrade to something better but I'm kind of disgruntled at the lack of choices with this...It'd be nice if there was enough room to sqeeze some 8" drivers in the rear somewhere without hacking the entire vehicle apart.
