Where is the stock amp??

Hi,

Can anyone tell me exactly where the stock amp is and how to access it?

Dealer and audio shop are doing some odd stuff and one of them left a cable disconnected that I wanna check out myself.

When you open the trunk......Left panel. Pull it out. That big silver thing you see is the stock amp.

AND you might wanna see what I did to add a powered sub to the HK system

Thanks!

I suppose I should have known that as I've been in there before. None the less, I confirmed the factory amplifier is not there (local shop used that bracket for the after-market amp) and more importantly, I found the cable that BMW forgot to reconnect leaving me with no audio for my drive home. All is well in the world now, thanks!

Good work on your audio setup. I applaud you for stopping at a reasonable stage and being satisfied!
