    Wires in my trunk. what are they for?

    I am in the process of stripping my car, and when I was removing the the carpet from the trunk, when I removed it there were a couple of wires just layed there taped. Since i got the car like that I just wanted to know if some type of amp or something was stock in the car. Any suggestions, if it has to do with the stereo let me know please so that I can remove them. Thanks

    Those look like wiring for rear deck speakers, no other wiring is twisted together like that, except for the speaker wiring in the front of the car.

      Looks like possibly speaker wires (yellow/blue ones)...start tracing them to the dash.

        EDIT: The rear speakers are still connected. These are just there. But ill try and chase them to the dash then. thanks

                Wires are for electricity.

                  Also on top of the battery there is a little thing/motor type thing. It has this little stick you can twist, I chased it and it leads to the front passenger speaker. I had not even seen that before i took the rug off! any suggestions! thanks for the help thou. :)

                          I just checked and it seems to have nothing to do with the fuel, i might be wrong. but it's right next to the fuel door.

                              i will upload it right now, but i tryed moving it and the door never locked, it also appears that the car got hit pretty bad cause it all dented, so it might even not work, but ill upload right. (I want to get all the wiring done by today! lol)
