No it is behind the passenger side sail panel plastic. Pull the plastic and you will see it towards the bottom.

It is towards the floor. Like if you were sitting in the backseat it would be by your feet behind the panel. It's a small black box with tons of wires in it.

I thought the Bose system had independent amplifiers that are on the speakers themselves including the woofer?
Did this problem just start or did you install the aftermarket head unit and then have the problem?
