Coupe or convertible? Bose or not? On the coupe, the amp is located behind the left trunk panel. For Bose on a coupe, the subs (I think there are two on a 99) are in the rear deck.

There's a lot of information on upgrading W208 stereos in the forums here, you may want to search on it to find some of the other answers you may need.

Is this a US-spec car? There are connectors back there for the phone and voice control systems. The amp is back there too.

Look on the speaker grill on your parcel shelf, it usually would have a Bose logo on it if it is Bose. Or look at the bottom of the speaker (from the trunk) and it will say Bose. Or look behind the lefthand trunk liner and if there is an amp there, it is a Bose.
