what is a cage?

what is the cage? in reference to car stereos. The guy at circuit city said i need to get one of these from the dealer... I think he is full of s**t.

what were you asking him about where he said this? Does "the cage" deal with headunits, speakers, subs, deadening, what?

the cage, a mythical being once used to surpress the awe striking enema of the evil west wind in the sound barriers, it can render a useless sub working. The inornte creture can cause much peril and damage.

"the cage" in car audio is the rectangular mounting sleeve that head unit fits into. It's pretty much necessary

okay, i know what you are talking about. this radio does not have one when I took it out of the other car.
