I can't confirm this in anyway, but it's worth a look.
i've done a fair bit of research on this, and eventually got a sub and amp installed myself.

figured out in the process that there's a US config, UK config (i'm in UK), and also figured out that there's also a 3rd config which is sold in some other europian countries, possibly thats the config you have.

the us config has an amp below the cd changer (non-dsp versions)
the uk config has a bm54 amp right behind the spare wheel (non-dsp versions)
the 3rd config has no seperate amp module, and the speakers are directly wired from teh head unit which has a built in amp (i suspect this is a lesser wattage amp).

i suspect yours is the 3rd config. in which case i'm not sure if there are wires in the boot. i would check the jacks out with a volt meter.

all options failing the fall back is you can tap into the two cables going into the rear doors from the b pillars. pop out the plastic panel and you'll find a twisted pair in each. thats the pair of wires going to each speaker in the rear doors. there's a posting in here that has pictures of this option as well.


hope that helps.
