Default sound system wiring help

alright so today i tried to finally take a look at the wiring with my stereo and sound system bc ive had the car for 2 years and never touched any of it and now that i look at it im even more confused.. it looks like the car used to have a some type of sound system with a amp but stripped it when he sold it to me because he left some shittu door speakers on it and i found thati got a power wire with a 50 amp fuse in it and a ground wire aswell, the guy took out the original amp aswell as the one he put after now there’s a bunch of wires leading to the stereo and half are js cut off aswell, can someone with some knowledge please tell me whats going on and point me in the right direction?😭






🙏🏽

The blue and green wires that are attached to the red and black wires are your door and rear speakers. The larger red and black wire in the back along with the RCA cables can hook up to an amp. You should have one more smaller wire that is a remote wire for the amp somewhere back there. It's the blue wire coming off the radio that reads remote wire. Looks like everything is already ran for you. The rest of the radio install looks like your basic cut the factory harness to hook up power and all if that. Nothing to crazy. It all looks very janky. I would rip it all out to include the amp stuff and start fresh. If you are on a budget, just clean it up some cover the bare wires.

The sound system wiring is detailed in the Monsoon FAQ. It lists the factory harness wire colors along with the standard aftermarket wire colors.
