Don't recall any factory wires run through that grommet on any of my cars.
Is a convenient place for anyone wanting to put aftermarket wires through the firewall

That's not factory. All connections go through the firewall through connector C100 (the giant connector behind the battery) or the bulkhead feedthrough behind the passenger side head.

Sounds like a power, and ground wire for an aftermarket amp. They just did a nice job wrapping them, and fooled you. h
