@OleBlue64 , you have another option - buy a JBL Extreme 4speaker bluetooth jobby, I have one in the Ninety and this enables me to listen to any radio station in the world anywhere at anytime. Even The Archers and Gardeners Question Time in North Africa and Budleigh Salterton! Plus works perfectly with any Spotify/Deezer type playlist. The JBL units give very good sound quality, have good bass, can be recharged through USB and 230v, there are no wires and can be linked to a further 99x JBL units when you want en masse party mode.
And did I mention they're truly waterproof? Yep, throw them in your home pool and party...
+ the JBL Extreme2 is currently on sale at £149, saving £100

I built an overhead console in 9mm ply covered in foam and black leathery material , installed defender radio, 2 down lights, 2 speakers and a voltmeter , wires come down rh corner and can be disconnected quickly for removing roof and sides in a nice summer.
I bought a little Bluetooth thingy from Argos that you set the frequency and match it on the radio it then allows you to play Spotify via radio onto speakers , also can answer mobile on it too.

If it is diesel, and you have aggressive tyres, you will struggle to hear anything while driving.
Even if it isn't, you will have to crank it up to a fair old volume to hear anything over the noise of the vehicle.
You would probably be better off with headphones, as suggested.
But I never listen to music in a Land Rover, it can cover up the small sounds that can alert you to problems before major damage and expense occur.

Before fitting any ICE, its worth applying as much sound deadening as possible.
Custom speaker pods are the way to go. MDF and fiberglass are perfect.
Personally I would not recommend using headphones whilst driving.

Agree, but folks have done it for years, i think some folks have them surgically attached now
Even with a really good pair of noise-cancelling over ears on can still hear more of what's going on outside the Land Rover than I can with the stereo on in a modern car. And more to the point - I'm not damaging my hearing. Those screaming gearboxes have got it in for my tinnitus.
And the law? I did get sort of stopped once decades ago, Patrol car pulled up next to me for a chat and just asked what I could hear.
Lastly - I used to get a lift to work with a deaf guy, and he was probably the most mechanically sympathetic driver I've known.

Noise cancelling headphones don't reduce the volume so you'll still get hearing damage add if you weren't using them. The only headphones that will protect your ears are the over ear kind that look like ear defenders (not the ones that sit 'on' the ear)

Forgive the quality, it’s a phone photo of an old print! This was my setup, the stereo unit is under the dash in a plastic housing like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/29214309...fHqsH3XAnTo4A_QvDPiGbhS4iaTc-PoRoCJPcQAvD_BwE

They do go over my ears completely. (And as I said in the earlier post I quite often just switch them on without music).
Sorry missed that, thought you meant the ear bud ones with electronic noise cancelling
