Default Let's play name that audio plug & wires in my trunk...

So I found a plug & some wires in my trunk area. The previous owner did quite a few mods so I'm assuming these are for an amp/sub/cd changer... Could someone verify this?

Some info: The car has an aftermarket radio (with XM & iPlug) and I know the door speakers were replaced. She just put the stock ones back in when she sold it.

This plug just looks like pin holes. It has a bunch of skinny colored wires connected. It's by the Power outlet in the back.


These are fat wires by my spare tire. Some have connectors on the ends. There's blue, yellow, bronze, and red.


I greatly appreciate any help.

Trunk wires.... Red 12volt (positive), see through wire (ground), small blue (12 volt remote turn on), yellow one might be speaker wire or RCA cable, can't tell, can't see the end of the wire.
The plug hanging looks like a factor CD changer hook up.

I would be real concerned if the Red wire still has power going to it, It shouldn't be left loose like that if it does. I would cut the bare end off and use electrical tape to cover it up so it doesn't short out.
