what are they?

ok, i have found 2 boxes...one under the drivers seat, and another under the cargo boxes in the back, they are grey, have holes in them and say "clarion" on the box...what are these things...Im assuming they are amps for the stereo...but am afraid they may also be part of some kinda computer system, for what i dont know.

thanks

Leif

They sound like amps to me, but I have absolutely NO experience with these sterios.

Stereo stuff,,,if they've got the DIN connector cable, usually tan in color, then that's what they are for sure...the tech in them is completely obsolete by now for stereo use...might be able to eBay them for a purist, though...

If your sound system is still Factory then it will not work without them.

yuh its the stock amps

since you have an 83, you can be pretty assured that there really arent many computer related components to worry about, and are easy to circumvent
