Search the site. The car stereo topic has been beaten to death.

The amp is in the "frunk" just behind the spare tire.

You might want to think about getting the OEM sub box that fits neatly on top of the deck behind the seats. It works well and is generally not pricey used, maybe $200-$300, and will run off the stock amp in the Bose system (at least it does in my '02 S) without any wiring modifications.

Unless you're looking for a reason to cut your car all apart and spend lots of money, IMO it's best to stick with the stock look and do stealth upgrades such as a better head unit and dash and door speakers.
