Speaker Fader Switch

[tobz.]

You say it was a solution to a problem, but what problem?

The fact that early car stereos were only 2-channel but the golf was fitted with 4 speakers you therefore needed some sort of external control to balance the sound between front and rear.
Of course the problem went away as the 4-channel stereo became common place.

my dads B reg escort had a cool mini joystick on the console, could control seperation to all 4 chanels with it

Yeah they were cool except you'd just get it set right and anybody who saw it would be compelled to give it a wiggle space invaders stylee.

Ha ha yeah that happened to me when I had my MKIV escort all the time. People just couldn't leave it alone!

Aha, i see now. I always wondered what the speaker fader switch did anyway! Looks like i'll just stick in the space then, and not wire it in!

Thanks for all the help!

You can't do that, lol!
You could try and find a suitable potentiometer and replace the existing one?

I will take it apart first and see how it looks inside, but i still dont how to wire it up even then!
