subwoofer amp

[MikeSchwed]

I bought a 2002 LS which is missing what I think is an amp for the rear deck speakers. I believe I've read that they are subwoofers, not 3 way speakers. Any advice on finding a new amp or replacing the subwoofers with regular speakers and amp would be appreciated. 2 empty plugs hanging in the trunk, not sure if they are stock of if the PO had something else in there.

Here's a photo of what I have

Those are stock connectors, but whatever is going on with the red barrel splices is not.

Thanks. Found what I think is a stock amp on eBay, we'll see

The stock amp expects to drive two ohm subs, which are not extremely common. The factory subs are still available though.

These are stock, I hope

At least the red barrel splices aren't a nondescript wad of electrical tape. Without seeing the whole scheme of things it might be a tap to a high level signal for an external amp? Maybe even a low level signal depending which pins are being hooked up to. I doubt anybody would go to the trouble of reinstalling the factory rear deck speakers, so could have been an amp and sub in there at some point ????

Yes, I found a super heavy cable in the trunk to the battery. Must have been something substantial.
