where is the harmon kardon subwoofer amp for 2005 w211 ?

anyone know where it's located ? it looks like the HK subwoofer was removed when I bought the car, now i need to make sure the amp that powers it is still in there.

Ok so only 1 amp for all speakers right ? I read somewhere that it was two amps that powered the system. One for the small component speakers and one for the sub.

but from searching, it looks like only one on the left quarter panel.

I just called my audio installer on my E55 and he said there is only one amp that powered everything...

I'll post instructions, but need to know 1) if you have the rear sunshade, and 2) if you have folding seats.

thanks you so much.

I have the rear sunshade, not sure if I have folding seats though. I'll confirm tonight. I know the headrest have the auto fold down switch.

I think I need to replace to sub(it's the original) because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Can anyone confirm, and if so where can I get another one. I've been told it's an open air sub, an obsolete technology.
