MKII Amplifier Location Base Stereo

I am looking to upgrade the base system with an Audio Control unit, I have the base system, No Bose, No B&W. I've looked in both rear side quarters and there is no amp for the base system? Is there one? Or do I have to tap the front door speaker leads in the door?

Thanks
-Roger

Yes, there is no separate amp, everything is in the Infotainment unit, which is in the glovebox.
