Anyone have a photo of where the Harmon Kardon Amp should be?

Hi Guys,

I was rooting around in the boot of my car trying to find the HK AMP should be (Passenger side behind the covers), however I can't find it anywhere!

My car DOES have HK, is it tucked away somewhere pretty hard to get to or something?

Any photos/pics or links would be very much appriciated.

Matt

Its on the passenger side rear wheel well, down in the pocket between the well and tail lamp. Its black with spikes instead of cooling fins, and has a little fan (you can hear the fan running after the car is turned off if you get the amp warm enough and in a quiet area). Its not hidden, just need to take out the passenger side trim (about 6 clips). Once thats off, you'll see it.

Thanks, If I was looking directly at the rear SAM would it be to the left or right of it? Worryingly i've not seen anything with a cooling fan attached or indeed heard it run on after switch off...

It's on the other side of the car as the rear SAM... I just realized you're car might be RHD, so my passenger side is your drivers side! It's just aft of the right rear wheel well... I ran out and took some pictures as the panel was off anyway due a current project...

PS: The fan is tiny! and is located within the fins, not on top!

PSS: OHHHH! Thats where that torx bit went (first picture)! I've been looking for that one!
