i've edited this post so many times to make it work, but that stupid link aint doin its job properly! :x

Nice one. what is the silver bit on the first photo? (the rest as red Xs)

[jag]

the silver box with the speakers is a crossover. basically, it splits the frquencies to go to each particualr speaker (mid bass and tweeter - in red)

depending on where the wires are attached to the crossover, you can adjust the level of sound and the frquenices at which they play.... cos obviously, the little tweeter is not gonna be able to cope with bass sounds, so the crossover will cut them out and leave it playing the high notes like vocals, snares etc...

I can see them all and I think the blue one at the bottom looks cool (cant have too much BLUE in my opinion :wink: )

you should look at the PRODRIVE ones too Jag like this:

This is on a new STI but they do them for classics without the "lifty up" bit :D

[Kev]

I have the Prodrive one. Bloody freezing a this time of year though. :?

[SHAGGYDOG]

just get somebody to rub it for you kev :lol:

i agree the prodrive ones look ace, i have a blue one 8)

[jag]

so thats:
F16 EVO Carbon - 2
Prodrive Blue - 2

[kp]

[Kev]

Isn't that just a "blue" ball nicked off a snooker table?

[EddieC]

I've got the Prodrive shiny one with the blue insert too but it gets really cold in the morning and you hand near sticks to it goodness knows what its going to be like in the depths on winter

:lol:

oops just re-read that one and the expression "cold mornings, hand nearly sticks to knob" could leave me open to abuse :oops:

[essexscooby]

but remember up your end of the world temps are about 30 degree's lower than anywhere else LOL :lol:

[EddieC]

:lol:

yes which reminds me .. I must look out a long sleeve T shirt for the weekend as its getting a bit chilly for the shorts and vest now :lol: unlike you Southern Nancy's who've probably got your winter woolies on already

Sits back and waits for flak !!! :lol:

[essexscooby]

Ah but we have heated gear knobs down here for our soft hands Eddie :wink:
Not like you guys who just stick hedgehogs on yours to make gear changing more exciting! :wink:
