Default Help with identifying wires in trunk?

I got my car broken into a couple weeks ago, but i just now noticed these cut wires. Now, are the the wires for the stock amp? Im not too sure if this car originally had a stock amp because i just purchased this car a month ago. I know the stock deck doesnt say nakamichi. Can some one help? Thanks

Your stock amp is located behind the glove box, in the upper dash

Do you have a touchscreen? Maybe its the hard drive for the navigation? The pic you copied looks like an SC? I may be wrong...

Well, I know I don't have a nav. Maybe this was done by previous owner. I'm not too sure if he even had a nav system. So, what can these wires be?

I don't know where the NAV is located, but my 98 had Nakamichi and the amp was in the right side of the trunk. There wasn't anything else with that many wires leading to the trunk.

yes those wires feed the amp, and speakers. Best way to figure it out is to get the wire color code for your model.
Its been a while since i touched my wiring, but those wires are mostly audio, careful cause if i remember correctly one may be Hot.. you dont want a short.

If you rip out the trunk stuff and pull up your back seat you can see where the loom runs. Follow it and if you remove the door sills you can follow the loom easier.
