Default Where is factory amp on 98 GS300?

I had the nakamichi factory stereo and I'm trying to locate and take out the factory amp. (Installed a new amp so don't need the factory one) Please let me know if its in the glove comp... and how hard it is to take out.

Thanks.

My spare tire is right in the middle of the trunk, under the cover, laying flat. So it's to the right of that?

your searching skills are sub par. First off, what kind of factory stereo is it? From there you can figure it out by searching better.

^ Must not be the Nakamichi system the O.P. claims it to be if there isn't an amp in the trunk...

If its the Nakamichi system you have , amp should be in the trunk.

Otherwise the amp is up near the glove box.
