Unhappy Where is the stock amp in an 88 GXL???

Hey, I posted earlier about swapping out the crappy stock cassette player so I could put a CD player in instead. Anyway killed the battery due to my friends...umm interesting wiring choices. I did a little bit of research and searched around the boards and figured out I have to bypass the amplifier to make this sucker work, now comes the problem

Where the heck is it??

Also Icemark had a picture of a wiring diagram up but it wasnt loading on my comp, anyone have on/know where I can get one?

Thanks a lot

In the GXL's I believe there is an amp attached to each of the factory speakers.

There are amps in the rear strut towers under the speakers.
And there is One big one under the passenger side dash in a black box that a speaker is in.
