Default What are these wires for?

These are on a base firebird... There's one speaker plug in on the back passenger side behind the rear seat and further toward the back near the antenna plug is another connector - I don't know what it's for....

And on the driver side behind the rear seat there ISNT a connector for a speaker?? And further back is another unused connection - I don't know what it's for either...


Any ideas?

The first is for a speaker the second if I'm not mistaken is for the optional cd changer. It was cheaper to use one wire harness for all trim levels.

If the connector in the first picture has 3 wires in it, then it is for the optional power antenna.

The second one does look similar to the optional CD changer connector.

Don't know why but it didn't show up very well. It is a 3 prong connection so that makes sense it's for a power antenna since it's right there by the antenna signal wire....
Ok. Thanks.
I'm gonna fill in the antenna hole and run a tune trapper so I won't need either of them
