Four - way speaker balance. May have been by-passed if your car has had a modern head unit fitted.

It's not a 'note it's' a quaver if it helps

Doesn’t seem to do a thing! Is it an after market install?
My car still had the original head unit!

Re: Does anybody know what this knob does?
No, it is fitted as standard. Turn all the way round to have either front speakers active, or rear, or in the middle for both.
Some people bypass it, but I've found it works great even with a modern stereo.

Here's a, photo of behind the scenes mate
Mine was like yours... Not working.!! Mate of mine John rewired it for me so it works a treat. Just as Paul (pbar) said it balances/fades front and rear, and left and right and works a, treat!! Listening to Talksport I have the front only bit then all four for music

Re: Does anybody know what this knob does?
Okay, thank you!
I wondered what it was for ages as it had no know on it and the other day I found the knob under the drivers seat but couldn’t understand what it was doing there!
Originally I thought it was d Ses one aftermarket volume control!

You should have made sure your knob was clean before posting a photo of it......
I have to admit though, I didn't realise that it was a combined fader and balance control, I thought it was just a front/rear fader.

Guys I don't know what to say . I had planned to freshen it up before it went back in but I popped to make some tea for me and John and only turned my back for a few mins and by the time I'd come back he had only gone and bleedin wired it all up before I could grab my cloths. He don't hang about !!! Good old John
BUT I have since played with my knob and its looking great now

I'm glad you mentioned that, yes I was thinking of a variety of puerile and childish things that might have been waiting for me
