Question Stereo, Subwoofer install

heya i need a lil help with my sub and amp install, ive done alot of these before but cannot find the speaker wires in the boot(trunk) area of my X

I have a Non DSP stereo and cannot find any Amp in the rear of the car

Will i have to pick up a speaker cable in the rear doors or is there a more convienent place??

Every single X5 ever made has a amp. You need pics of location?

in my boot/trunk where the cd changer would be located is nothing, there are 3 plugs with nothing plugged in to them.

where else could the amp be?

It's on the left side, open that access door and it's down in the hole. It's mounted strait up and down. It's black in color.
