Where's the amp located?

Can anyone tell me where the amp is located? I'm getting some static from the speakers after washing the car. Volume control and turning off the car don't have any effect, so I assume water is getting into the car somewhere, but I've checked the obvious locations and I don't see anything. Before I bring it to the dealer, I'd like to find where the water is coming from, especially since the static will have likely stopped before I can get in.

Thanks, that's actually one of the first places I looked because the dealership left the trunk lid unlatched when they washed it for delivery and filled the trunk with 1-2" of water. It seemed dry the times I've checked it. Most of the static is coming from the passenger door speaker, so it's possible there's water in there.

In any case, as expected BMW can't get me in for a week, so no chance it's still making the noise by then. I suppose I can run through the carwash right before heading there though and hope for the worst.
