Bose amp location?
Anyone knows where the bose amp is located in the RS4? I am tempted to add an eq processor before the bose amp to tweak the sound a little bit. Thanks.

In your trunk, behind the panel on the passenger side.
Still the same since U.S./MY 2003. See pic supplied by Bose...

Re: lol. Nope, it's still there. I saw it when we had my entire car torn apart for my install.
Thanks for all your help. It is much smaller in size than I thought. Hey brianja, we have the same car with the same options. I just got the car and will be adding a surround eq to it. I will pretty much leave it stock otherwise.

Then you have excellent taste in colors / options :-p
Good luck with the processor only project. Do you know what you are going to use? I have an Audiocontrol digital EQ which is nice (after the defective first unit was replaced).
I don't think I have seen someone ever put more processing on top of a Bose system's. Then again, I'm not as into this as others on here, I am sure.
Let us know how you do.

I'm not sure how that's going to work.
Or if it will work at all. The Bose amp has it's own processing agenda and I would suspect it would simply do it's thing, expecially since the new processor is before the old Bose. I would rip out the old amp and put in a new one along with the new processor.

Your digital eq is I suspect a parametric eq with different curve settings, I assume. I am just planning to add a very old school yamaha surround sound eq that is only analog eq but the surround sound is pretty amazing and the eq is quite good too. After I had the yamaha eq, I tried others like pioneer, clarion and alpine. Only the pioneer comes close to the yamaha but still not quite as good. I think the Bose is quite good but not very flexible in eq adjustment. A tiny bit of surround processing like room size and reverb adjust should do wonders. I am just going to use the front line output from the rsn-e as my eq will put out front and rear which will go back to the bose amp. Hopefully, that will do nothing to the navigation and bluetooth as I am using the front line output only. Have to find time to test it out first before I mount the controller in the armrest.
