Audio System Question
Here's one for all you Audiophiles from a 8 Track old f--t.
I picked a used C5 Vert awhile ago with an replacement XM AM/FM/CD Pioneer Premier radio which works good.
When I looked in the center storage well in the trunk, I found all these wires. There are two main power wires that come directly from the battery, plus others with RCA type plug-ins and some with horseshoe clips. It appears that there might have been an Amp or a Multi-CD player, any ideas? I can't find any speakers, other than the existing.

An Amp definatly used to live there. Perhaps the previous owner removed it or it was stolen.

Thanks to you and TheRadioFlyer for the input. I'll pick up a replacement.
To the wise-acres, yes, I found out the power wires were hot, when the radio wouldn't work because of a blow fuse.

I wonder why they would leave the power hot, and not just pull the underhood fuse.
If there is no underhood fuse,, its very important to add one if you plan on using the wire - or just remove the wire.

There was a 30amp fuse but it's evidently, also, part of the radio curcuit and that's the one that blew.
