Where the stopers are on the sides of the glove box, you push them in towards the glove box and it will drop down. The amp should be right there. ....Brad Your mom thinks I'm hot!!

If you have the cd player then it has the external amp. My car had cassette and it doesn't have premium sound so no amp. hope that helps - 95 Mystique LS - Zetec/5spd - 99 Contour SeVT Sport - Duratec/5spd Official NE-CEG Contour/Mustang Family

My aunt's Mystique has premium sound logos on the grilles but she has the tape deck and no external amplifier. Myu brother has the external amp and no premium sound logo. I think fors pasted those on at random. To check, open your glove box ALL THE WAY until it drops straight down. The amp will be sitting back there. 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 "Tarmac" http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2352003

One really easy way to determine if you have a stock amp is to just check right behind the glove box under the AC compressor. If there is an amp, then you got an amp.. if there is none, then you don't got an amp I had the cassette, and it had the stock amp btw. i had to call crutchfield when I was using my bros CD player.
