Hi

not sure about your JBL set, but I know that some factory sound systems use a headunit, that only delivers RCA-level aouputs. The amplifiers are usually small 10-15W amplifiers that are mounted directly onto the speakers. If not usually there is a "central" amplifier that´s mounted in the trunk or eneitth the seat or behind a cover. You can ask your car dealer, he will know where the amplifier unit is mounted.

(1) Digital six-channel power amplifier rated at 270 watts of nominal power output is mounted directly to the subwoofer enclosure, behind the rear, passenger-side seat.
