V50 Electrics : unknown cables in boot

[hollowhoc]

Hi all, I just bought a V50 wagon and there are a handful of cables in the boot which I am unsure of. Hoping someone here can help me identify them!

The previous owner had a (parrot) bluetooth system wired into the car, and also I'm guessing a dashcam cabled under the roof lining since I can see a mini USB cable hanging out of there, so I wouldnt be surprised if he had some other things fitted in the rear of the car.

Anyway, I lifted up the floor cover in the boot and found what looks like an RCA cable pair and a multi pin flow connector coming up through the floor. Any ideas what these might have been for? Maybe a sub, with the audio coming via RCA and the power via this flow connector? Anyway, your thoughts are appreciated!

looks like amp witing for a boot mounted sub. there appears to be a fused connector with red and black for power and blue for remote switch on. My guess is the RCAs are tapped of a rear speaker somewhere. If you look in the engine bay, you may see the extra red power cable comnected to the battery.

In some cases dodgey and bad installs will tappower off somewhere in appropriate. hopefully this isn't the case, but if so will need u to trace the wires back into the car.

Thanks for this lockstock. I have checked and as you suspected, the power comes off a red power cable connected to the battery. I will probably save the boot space for cargo, the onboard sound system is perfectly good without it!
