What Is This Thing In My R32?

[julion]

behind the back seats, just below the windscreen, right in the middle is a very funny lookin box with a strange lookin spherical fan or something, it seems to serve no purpose. Im a bit of a Newb when it comes to this kinda stuff so this is probably something that comes with every r32, but can someone temm me what it is !!! The picture below was taken with my phone, so soz for the poor quality. danke

looks like an amp for your stereo?

does your stereo sound really loud compare to standard stereo?

looks like a kick ass looking amp

but they usually dont mount amps there becuase of heat issues and vibration

it could be an oldschool amp.. ive got another newer amp in the back.. is this really what amps used to look like??

but than again the jap's like to show off their gear, so quite possibly its an amp.

it doesnt look like an amp. If it doesnt have any wires then its probably an air purifier.

ive seen a few in imports

can you get another couple of pictures of it?

i.e. one from under the parcel shelf (so, taken looking underneath the object from inside the boot) and one taken from the rear seat so it is clearer?

i think Osman_R32 is onto something... looks a bit like a rear air purifier i once saw in a Cima... though they're usually reserved for luxury cars....

The factory amp in mine was this tiny little thing hanging under the rear parcel shelf...

ok i took a few photos.. i tried taking a couple from under the parcel shelf but it didnt come up to well and i couldnt couldnt see anything interesting. Instead i took a photo of the wires that are coming out of the thing into the boot. My camera doesnt seem to like focusing on close objects so sorry for the blurriness of this photo.. theres another couple of photos from the outside too.

Looks like a fancy air purifier. Heaps of R32's come to Australia with passive air filters or little electronic boxes, but htis looks like a special purifier made for cars.

Still, it's a guess.
