Question Need Help, Unidentified old setup

I really don't know much at all about audio setups, but I have been wanting to change mine out. The speakers are blown from the previous owner.

So, I was detailing my car and I noticed a little box under the steering column that was obviously aftermarket. The brand is Power Acoustik.



Then I started following the little black wire that comes out of the Power Acoustik box which lead to under the passenger side seat, which comes out of the slit in the carpeting. (Image Below)



When I tugged the cord a mass of new wires came out, A silver wire which appears to be the power to the battery. And two connecting ends on a blue wire. (As seen above) I apologize the silver wire is hard to see, it's coming out the slit in the carpet touching the black wire.

I then traced back the blue wire to the Passenger side firewall and found two blue wires. One appears to be connected to the back of the radio and not cut, the other is simply not connected and sitting there. (Below)



Where do I go from here, I honestly am not sure what needs to be done next to get my radio back up and running at full potential. Also, not sure if this ties in but I heard it may, since I purchased my Crossfire the "Light out" indicator has been illuminated. I have checked all the bulbs though and haven't found one that was actually burned out.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Check your license place lights.

Do you have HID's? They could be the problem

No, stock headlight assembly and sylvania bulbs. Honestly I really don't mind the indicator being on. I am more interested in what audio setup was in the car, and how to fix it.

That **** is just a remote for the power control of a power acoustic amplifier. The blue wire with the blue and white plug are RCA wires for sending the audio signal to the amplifier. The other one is probably the opposite end of the wiring for the power control **** that would plug into the amp. If you want to remove it all just find where it routes and pull it back out. If you want to use it for another amp then connect it up to a new amp.
