RE: wheres the stock amp - 5/16/2008 9:38:48 PM    Asianicestyles   Posts: 99 Joined: 9/21/2007 Status: offline All of the A6 models came with subwoofers regardless of bose located in the trunk. You know you have a bose system if it says "Bose" on all of the interior speaker grills. As to where the amp is located i'd assume inside or near the subwoofer which is located on the right side panel of the trunk.  (in reply to LeAudi19) Post #: 9

RE: wheres the stock amp - 5/17/2008 12:58:15 PM    joetm Posts: 765 Joined: 1/6/2008 Status: offline ok listen ... easy if your speakers say bose then you have a bose system if they dont then you have a regualr facotry system truth be told the bose speakers sound liek crap if you take away teh bose stock headunit ... teh amp is located on the passenger side in front of the sub yet behind the back seat on teh passenger side in the truck ... u ripped the lining off the wrong side lol if you dont have a bose then simply wire the amp and subs right to the factory head unit or if you bought a new head unit (which is a good idea for subs neway) ... if you have the bose you cant put your subs and amp into the headunit you need to tap power and sound in the truck BUT BEFORE the amp not after the amp it is not as hard as everyone makes it seem although i just did trial and error my first time! let me knwo if you have any problems ill try to walk you through it but you seem like you know what your doing ... o yea and be sure to run RCAs and your amp power from battery down diff sides of teh car if you do have the bose bc you will experience a small amount of feedback when your A/C is on and you accelerate _____________________________ -Joe 2002 a6 2.7t / GIAC / REMUS / AWE-Tuning s-flo intake / bailey's DVs / vast stage 3 tip chip /vast piggies / obx manifolds / k04's and rs4 ecu platform to come soon!

RE: wheres the stock amp - 5/17/2008 2:59:54 PM    Asianicestyles   Posts: 99 Joined: 9/21/2007 Status: offline Yes that is the sub and amp,the amp is inside right near the sub, which is just a small amplifier that powers both the rear speakers and the subwoofer. You can't really do much with the factory amp so if you wish to upgrade you will need to get another amplifer to power the subwoofer.  (in reply to joetm) Post #: 13

And he did ask "Is this the sub or amp?" So I just wanted to clarify things up a bit.  (in reply to joetm) Post #: 15

RE: wheres the stock amp - 5/18/2008 9:08:50 AM    topj Posts: 114 Joined: 6/5/2007 Status: offline Thanks joe and Asianicestyles for clearing that up. What if I got a rns-e ? It shouldn't be any different right? And after market speakers would sound way better than the factory right? (in reply to Asianicestyles) Post #: 16
