I think(?) the amp' might be on the underside of the parcel shelf.

ETA: The amp' for the Harmon/Kardon sub woofer is on the parcel shelf and for the speakers is behind the head unit, but this being a standard system in your case I would expect it to be just behind/in the head unit. A friend had a 330 with the standard sound system and replaced it with an aftermarket head unit, so go to halfords find out what you can do and then order of the internet for half the price...

Basic system = speakers driven off the head unit, no sub in rear.

Harman Kardon = Speakers driven off an amp, behind the left side panel in boot for coupe and saloon and under the floor for touring.



Bets bet as far as an easy upgrade is buy something like the Blaupunkt THA-555 plug and play amp and the harness, this makes it completely plug and play and means you can add a sub in the boot too of that same amp.
