Location of standard amp
Hi all,
Referring to another thread of mine whereby one of my speakers isn't working (and it isnt the speaker that is faulty), I wanted to check the connections on the amp and find if there was an output on that channel. My car is a 2007 A8L 3.0TDi with factory standard audio (not bose or B&O). My initial question is - where is the amp located in the car? I have seen reference to removing the battery to ease access but I thought all the equipment for sound/vision was on the opposite side of the boot! would love an answer so I can investigate further. Michael

I don't know about D3's, but in non-Bose D2's the rear shelf speakers have small amps built into them that power the other rear speakers.
(Might only be one speaker that has the amp, not 100% sure, but it's behind the speaker covers in the top of the boot under the parcel shelf) Fronts are driven directly from the RNS in a non-Bose D2.

I believe its in the same location regardless of type and that is in the boot on the left side behind the cover. Same place as the satnav drive.
You'll see a large metal plate with multiple components mounted depending on fitted options. On my 2004 the Bose amp is mounted on the back, I suspect non bose will be the same except the for the facelift the mount points are different. If its on the back access will require a lot of work removing bits before you can remove the plate. Have you checked where the wiring passes through to the door from the main chassis, maybe one of the cores is damaged internally.

I'm going to sound like an idiot now but I did install the Fusion bluetooth adapter for streaming music and had to connect it to the red connector right at the back (for audio/video in) - what that unit the amp then?

The RED connector that you put the Aux In 1/2 and the Aux Out leads is on the TV unit.
