yeh had a look at jl audio website. its something called a crossover its just a little device that makes sure the right sort of sound goes to the right type of speaker.
so the high pitch sounds go to the tweeter
an the more bassy sound go to the speaker

no mate i never did but i had an issue with the front anti roll bar, it was worn at where the bushes fit and caused knocking as it moved as it wasnt tight, i was going to replace it but never did, couldnt tell you what size bushes it will need.

yeh its knocking now but I slid underrneath the best I could an tried to measure it an it seemed like it was either a 20mm or 22mm but that's will mean its probly uprated an it looks big for the engine size or I've just cocked up measuring it.

New ARB bushes are only a couple of quid from the dealer...

But it sounds like it's having the same problem as mine did, with a new ARB being required. The collars (which hold the ARB bushes in place) corrode which then allows excessive sideways movement of the ARB, which then knocks on various parts of the car! New ARB was about £50 from the dealer when I replaced mine. Then you'll need 2 new bushes.

Mines mainly when cornering my arb moved over to the left and you can see where its hitting the subframe as its wearing it down :(. But on a plus not I've just Order a 20mm up rated arb from sum fk racing or summit with the two bushes for 54 pound :) and a pair of puma droplinks for a tenner ;) hopefully that will sort the job out!!
