Question about upgrading sound system. (archive)

I just got a 2000 328 ... great car except for the sound system. I plan on upgrading it with a Precision Power amp (supposed to supports the BMW balanced differential inputs) Boston Acoustics Pro series component speakers in front, and a 10" sub in the rear (thinking about making a custom enclosure to fit in the spare wheel). I will keep the head unit as anything else will just not look right!

After reading a bunch of posts here, and some info on other sites, I figured it would not be to complicated a job to wire everything from the amplifier harness that is supposed to be behind the driver side trunk cover. Well, I opened it up and NO AMPLIFIER! Just the CD changer wire harness!

I have the Canadian edition 2000 328i base model. There seems to be 3 Stereo options ... base, "hi-fi", and HK. I have the base. Is it possible that there is no amp, or the amp is in another location? Or am I blind? Everybody seems to say that they have an amp with their non HK system. Is there only an amp in the "hi-Fi" and HK setup? Can I find the wire harness somewere back there?

Thanks for any info. I want to avoid messing with the head unit.
