Dear ICE gurus, First of all I have to apologise for the series of goondu questions cos I'm a super noob abt ICE. I've recently purchase a used car (Daihatsu Materia). Didn't really pay much attention to the sound system when checking the car during purchase as I'm not too into ICE and like I've mentioned, I'm a noob lor. Aft collecting the car, I do some cleaning of the interior and discover a 'box' below the front passenger seat with cables. I serious do not know what it is and presume it to be an 'Amplifier'. I have attached pics for gurus to affirm my guess. At the same time, I realised that the front & rear speakers (on the doors) are somehow very soft and not too clear. The sound transmission was very much dependant on the speakers (or do u call that tweeters) on the dashboard. All these makes me pondering with a few questions in mind: 1) If what I saw is an amplifier, how come the sound/music fr the front & rear speakers? Always tout amp is supposed to 'enhance' the sound effect?? 2) Could the poor sound effect due to cable connection problems? 3) I know it might be difficult to 'diagnose' the problem from what I've described or what I've shown in the pic. That's why I am also asking ICE gurus the rough cost if I send the at to those car audio shop to check and maybe 'rerun' the cables or connections or maybe help diagnose the problem. And of course, the HU is stock factory fitted if u are asking, but I don't know the make/model. Think the brand is MAC or something bah. Thanks in advance and once again sorry for the goondu questions. I couldn't find the answers I'm looking for aft I use the search function.

Sigh.
