Amp in Audio 20 system?

I posted this in the GLK thread but there's not much acitivy there. I thought maybe someone in a W204 might know about this...

I am preparing to have two amplifiers installed in my GLK; one for a subwoofer and one for the front door speakers. I didn't think there was an amplifier in my GLK because I have Audio 20, but an installation shop told me that there is one, and due to fiber optic connections I would have a difficult time installing amps. Is this true? There IS that weird box that has wires running to it in the spare tire well that I asked about in a separate thread that no one commented on that I think might be an amp. I want to be sure before I plunk down money for parts and have a custom shallow box built to rest on top of the spare. Please help!

Do you have Bose or HK? Can you see fiber optic cable at the back of the Audio 20?

Neither, and I have not taken the dash apart. I had the paper speakers.
