Default Any clue what these wires are in my car? (pics)

So i have my car in my garage,doing a few upgrades to it.
Finally installed my mm rear spacers,and realized the car previously had amp/power wiring ran through it so I decided to yank it all out since its not hooked up.
Found a red wire(hooked up to nothing in trunk),ran to the drivers side kick panel w a switch,and back to underneath the rear seat w a fuseable link.
Can I just yank all this out,or is it needed?
As you can tell,im def not mechanically inclined when it comes to car stereo's lol.








Also,does anyone know how to remove this top piece on the car,I got some rust on it(odd) and want to re-paint it. Thanks in advance

Yes you can yank the wires out, just a switch to turn on and off the amp. It's a remote line most likely. Most amps will be hooked to accessory power, but this way if you have your kids in the car or it's late at night, you can just switch the amp off "remotely".

It could have also been a hard wire for another accessory like a radar detector or something.
