No issues with noise in my Gen 3. Even at well above legal speeds on mud terrains I'd still not consider it a noisy car. Obviously it's not as refined as a luxury vehicle but it's noticeably less noisy than other similarly sized petrol cars I've owned.

Leviathan my 155 land cruiser is noticeably louder than Temeraire. That said she being an automatic jimny is particularly quiet even compared with my old Dreadnaught.

I have upgraded my JB74 door speakers with pair of Kicker 46CSC44 4" door speakers.  (I usually upgrade with Focal's and went for the Kickers based on very +ve reviews)  I used a Dremel to cut new speaker brackets from the OE fitted units. I am now considering if a sub is necessary as they sound fantastic.
NB. I have also upgraded the head unit, the Kicker's need a minimum 50 watts rms to drive them correctly.

I've never heard of a speaker having a minimum power requirement. Does that mean you can't listen to them on a quiet setting?

It's to do with the strength of the voice coil, essentially the power needed to move the cone. All speakers should specify an optimum range it which they will work cleanly without distortion.
