Title: Any Idea what this is?????
Post by: chrisJDM on October 19, 2008, 09:19:29 PM
I have taken my dash out today and found in the dash a box with Clarion written on it, it is wired into the other wiring in the dash but is not attached to the head unit directly, the head unit that came with the car when i bought it was some weird japanese make not clarion, and ever since i have had it ive had a alpine head unit.  Anyone know what this is????

i doubt that crappy little thing would need a amp said 15w max on the bottom of it, i gently touched the cone and it fell apart lol

The BOSE system that came in my Type X was just a rebadged Clarion. Clarion made the system and they were just giving the Bose name. Hope this helps the mystery.............cheers Leigh.
