Quick question...
there is one red and one black cable taped up under the carpet in my boot to nothing. i Tried tracing them down and looks to me they go to the headunit, what can these be used for?
is it an amp?

i feel slightly thick for asking what sounds like a simple question :oops::P

haha thought so :P
also, at both left and right panels in the boot, there is a white wire hanging out with two cores, could this be for some 6x9s?

They are the "data cables" for the amp. They should have a connector on the end which is round with a pointy bit comin from the centre. My guess is they would have been used for a sub.

Have now added some JVC 6x9s on the parcel shelf to the cables at each side to the boot and work Fab! Thanks guys
