Default It has pre-outs, but they are in use by the Bose amp in the trunk. :)
I'm sure you can rig something up though...

Default wouldn't a crossover work?
Or does the Bose system use a custom voltage?

that way the bose would still have it's signal and you can add a few amps

Default I don't have Bose, however....
I had my amp and subs installed the day after I bought the car and we didn't know about the pre-amps in back. You can use hi/lo level converters to add the amp, in which case a separate crossover won't work, because you're only getting one channel's signal. Very small quality compromise. If you're in the So. Cal area, you can listen to mine. Sounds great. I did the same with my '97 A4 Non Bose.

Default There are amp preouts in the back?
I have some good audio equipment from my last ride. I wanted to install my Boston Pro's and my JL sub, but wasn't quite ready to run wire and the like. Now, if the amp pre outs are already back there, it would make my job much easier. Where are the located?

I'm going to assume they would be behind the head unit. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, the head unit is the same in both situations.
