Subwoofer, amplifier w211

Hi,
I have a w211, 2004, 400cdi with comand system.
I want to install a subwoofer (box) in my trunk with separate amplifier.
I found in my left section of the trunk behind the carpet the DVD unit and what I think is the amplifier for the original sound system.
On that (amplifier) theres 2x3 RCA connectors marked yellow, white and red. My guess is thats for video and sound. But theres no markings telling me if it's for out or in.
It would be great if this is a low-level output so I can use it to connect my new amplifier.
So if there's any one that can tell me? And if so what is output and input.
Thank you very much in advance

Do you have a TV tuner in the car? Sounds like you found that instead of the amplifier that is further down in the trunk.

Thank you for reply.

Yes I have. So it's the TV tuner then :-( It's looks like the pic you attached.
It's on top of the DVD (nav).
Guess there's no low level output then? Or is there some where?

Got any pics?

I located what I thought was the AGW in my car, but it was BURIED! Especially with the electronic trunk closer, etc., it look like it would be a pain to remove.

Not sure. I have a US COMAND up front and the AGW and Nav in the back. The AGW was on the drivers side behind the trunk lid hinge. Looked very difficult to access.

No it was not that difficult, but then I dont have the electronic trunk closer.
Ok I'll put up some pics showing how I did install the ampflifier using low level outputs from AWG(basic) also named N93/1.
But can't do it right now cause of lack of time On thursday or friday I'll do it.
