Does Anyone Know The Location Of The Amplifier On Alhambra?

[Ga73]

Hi,

 

Ive bought a lead to fit my stereo and it bypasses the factory fitted amplifier on my 1999 year alhambra , had a look in the hayes manual (albeit for a Galaxy) and it says its under the head unit...if it is on an alhambra i cant find it ! ! the wires seem to run from the head unit location going to towards the speedo unit but hard to see much else behind there...

 

Someone must have bypassed this amp before so can anyone give me a clue where it is please!!

 

Thanks

It is under the radio - but only if you have the top spec 2007 radio fitted.

The base 2006 radio has no external amplifier.

Hi Seatkid,

 

Thanks for getting back to me, no idea what radio was fitted as it was removed before I bought the car, my model is the 110 SE model so maybe it did have the top spec radio fitted although no sign of an amplifier although in that case also no sign of speaker wires either !! there is the 'active amplifier' style connection that looks like it would fit the cable shown in the link below but if theres no amp then im kinda stuck in the middle
