    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

                          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.
