Default Where is the factory amp?

I was wondering if anyone knew where the factory amp was in an 01 Z28 with the premium sound package?

Thanks!

Youlll have to take out the spare tire and jack to get it out if thats what you plan on doing. Its bolted to a big piece of plastic thats pretty almost right over the passenger rear wheel.

Great, now that I know where it is located I can bypass the factory amp.

I installed a new high watt stereo. I think the amp is multiplying the wattage because I turn my head unit on low volume and it is very loud!

Ya need to find a level regulator and you can use the stock Amp with your new stereo
For Bose Amps, use Scosche OEA-4 (only $12.46!)

For Monsoon Amp-- I'm not sure, anyone know? I wonder if the same Scosche OEA-4 would work -- anyone try it?

I wish I would have known about this a long time ago.

I think I have Bose? Not too sure...

Either way I should really look into this.

Look on our headunit -- does it say Bose or Monsoon? Then you will know.

If it says Delco, then you have no amp.

Mine says Alpine...

Seriously though...I think it said Delco. I think the speakers say Delco as well. There is a sub in the trunk. I thought that Bose made the units for Delco?

The head unit will say "Bose-ACDelco" on it if you got the premium sound option. All the speakers should say "Bose."
