You car has a fiber optic ring (orange cable). The sound travels as a digital signal from the head unit to the amp which is located in the trunk. The amp has normal wires going out to the speakers from there. If you install something else you will need to run wires to the trunk, add a new amp and splice into the speaker harness there. The speakers you have are designed to match the Bose amp which will cause problems with most of the amps you might buy. Search the W203 forum.
