Audio help!!

I was cleaning out my trunk and noticed some loose cables. Obviously amp wires and speaker wires. I do not have any rear deck speakers, sub, or amp in my 2016. Could it be aftermarket? Pics included. I did notice an amp wire hooked up to battery as well.

Def aftermarket and with those wire nuts not a good install either.

I was afraid of that. Amp hookup to battery and through firewall looks factory/professional though.

Theres also what apears to be an ethernet cable.

Are you sure it is not slightly smaller like a phone jack? Many amp companies use phone plugs and wires for remote bass-level knobs. It would have gone from near the driver or glove box to the amp most likely.

Some of the aftermarket amps are now using cables with RJ45 connectors for signals - like turn on/off.

Yes, it's the size of a phone jack. I haven't had a system in a car since the 90's so i have no idea what the industry does now.

Yeah, it's definitely a rj11 Jack.

Hopefully there's a fuse block at/near the battery for that amp power, and hopefully that fuse has been removed. With those wire nuts I'd be very cautious about using any of the wiring from the previous install. Also, I hope whomever did that wire nut wiring did not do any of the maintenance on the car....
