It was positioned between the rear speakers under the parcel shelf. As far as I know it is a factory part because it had wiring from the front back plus I have seen one other. Looks a bit like the old style reverberator but is not. Anyone know if it was an option and what its function was ?

THIS is the unit I should have posted the pictures of. This was the one taken from the 71 Charger because I labelled it. Took the original wiring from the front back as shown . Number on the unit says 2820192...cant find it in the 71 parts book

Original technology came from Hammond Organ, made popular by Motorola sold for $29.95 including 6x9" speaker in the mid-60s... Just my $0.02...
