Default Wiring problems

So I started pulling out the stock rear speaker wires and amp wires, now the car wont start. Does anyone have a link to a thread where I can see if I cut something that I was not suppose to?

Ok I pulled back the antenna connector, the connectors for the speakers from both sides all the way to under the dash. I cut them there and then the car wouldn't start anymore. Im pretty sure its noting hard but Jus don't know where to look

the only thing back there that will make it not start is the fuel pump wires........as for a no start condition check to see if there is 12V on the wire going to trigger the starter solenoid......if not check the start relay on the inside of the dash right of the glove box........if u dont hear that acutating when u click the key check to see if the yellow wire is supplying 12V to the relay when u click the key and also check the two smaller gauge wires into the relay one should have 12V with the key in the start position only......if not it could be a neutral safety switch issue.....or a keyswitch issue........theres many things it could be
