On top of the dash on my F, in the centre, there is what looks like speaker grille...is this a speaker? Should it make noise!? Just curious if anyone knows what it is for...

not a speaker - would ruin the stereo effect in the car...

From what i have heard it is empty underneath...

i was starting to wonder what it is myself.

If its empty then why have it there, there must be a reason for it being there

Perhaps it leads to Narnia! I'm gonna run some amp wiring through the dash in a few days, so i can have a look at it from another angle.

Am sure it is for a centre speaker, tho I think it was optional or only on certain models

although as i said before - would a centre speaker not ruin the 'stereo' sound effect?

Not really - think of Dolby 5.1 surround sound they all have centre speaker - back speakers and front speakers :P and usually bass too - so I think it wouldnt, though it would have to be wired in right to sound right

mmm.... maybe... hadnt thought of that...

It is for a centre speaker that has it's own special amplifier thing, never available in the UK if I remember correctly, Japan only methinks Dragon Rob, does yours work Xedos had the same

Its an air vent

I always wondered, but came to a conclusion that it was a vent aswell the reason being is when my screen is fully misty that part gets rid of alot of the mist on the screen down the middle area.

Another reason is sometimes if my fags get wet from rain from the window I sometimes leave them on there to dry out and even my caps.

Dunno for sure if it is that or not.
As it might just let out heat cuz it's empty.

its a speaker. I know some aus models had them. mine does

its a 2" speaker if I remember correctly and there is a centre channel processor/amp which is a metal box hanging down just below the stereo. above the ecu.

ive have the speaker and amp sitting here somewhere from when I removed mine

Thanks for that, now I can stop wondering about what it is and wonder about something else

Cheers

Bit slow on the uptake here! Will have to have a look and see if I've got one. I think I might need a professional to take a look as the last owner left wires hanging all over the place behind the headunit.

Anyone suggest a good car audio electrician in the cambs area?

ill just carry on using it as a can holder then wen im parked up lol
