together again who would debate whether we could leave the dash out for that littleness won't we George yeah no we'll put it all back in because I think we need some it's quite clever it actually acts as the ducting doesn't it I mean this show people they might need so the heat blower blows here and depending whether it blows here or here it over pops out on windscreen heater or through the fresh air vents which it uses the cavities within the dash panel there as the the channels which is really clever design there's a lot of design on the smog that's why we like the smart cut because they've done things mad and different and clever enjoy your new sound system
