Default What is this box?

In the backseat area... on the right hand side of the vehicle... mounted behind the side panel adjacent to the first aid kit compartment... there is a small black box about 8" x 4" x 3" in dimensions. I have an aftermarket audio setup and if this is the external amplifier for the stock bose system, I'd like to remove it. Does anyone know what it is?

Side note, does anyone know where to get the small triangularish diamondish shaped metal clips that hold on the interior panels? I had a professional audio installation done a while back and they royally screwed everything up pretty bad. Since then I have redesigned and redone all the audio to a much better standard but am now missing some of these clips from panels. Looking for replacement clips if anyone knows where to get them -shrugs-

If not... Icould easily fabricate them from some sheet metal stock scrap.
