It might be different on cabs, but on the coupes look behind the trunk lining on the driver's side. The amp has heat sinks but otherwise is dinky - and light weight.

Sorry to jump in here, but for us in the UK the amp is positioned on the rear left side behind the trunk lining in front of the wheel?
Also is there anyone who knows if theres is much benefit from upgrading just the amp, with factory speakers?

If you mean using a non-BOSE aftermarket amp with BOSE speakers, there is a well known problem in doing that. Every BOSE speaker I’ve seen has an impedance of about 1 ohm. Most non-BOSE car audio components are rated at 4-ohm. If BOSE speakers are connected to a standard 4-ohm amp, and the amp can’t handle the 1-ohm load (it can’t), it’ll fry the amp. The speakers will be ruined as well. BOSE uses their own proprietary specs for speakers and amps. If another manufacturer’s speakers or amps are used, the signal is usually kept separate from the BOSE speakers and amps.
It's an old post but I notice no response to the last post and a image is much easier.
This is the Bose AMP location on a 2000 CLK430 Coupe, rear trunk well- left side.
Only if you have a BOSE premium sound system.
