Whatsup. I am a newbie bimmer as I just acquired my sister's '91 318is 2 dr. I love it and I have but in all new speakers, but i get barely any volume from the stock system so I want to buy a new head unit and replace the stock amp. The only problem is that I know that the ampo is in the trunk somewhere, but I don't where exactly or how to get to it. please tell me the easiest way to get to it and any amp replacement suggestions. thanks

Basically, how do i get to the stock amp?

most are behind there, being a 318, some may not have one at all, and all the power comes from the headunit.

as noted earlier, it's mounted behind the left trunk panel, just behind the wheelwell. it's tiny.

if you're keeping the stock head unit and only replacing the amp, get a pair of Monster Cable RX100 line-level converters from Bavarian Soundwerks They sell high-end audio gear at very reasonable prices. The line-level converters are a breeze to install -- just splice them into the factory harness -- and eliminate any noise in the system. :thumbs
