Existing Subwoofer Harness Help - '14 FX2 SCrew
This is a pic of a subwoofer wiring harness that was in the truck when I bought it. I don't have the Sony system. Is this stock or was there a sub back here at one time. I've purchased the Kicker Hideaway and am trying to figure out if I can use this or need to run all new wire. Thanks.

It's an FX2. I'll post a pic of the connectors when I get a chance. That 2nd number is the main wiring harness. Googling the 3rd one (V1P8D) brings up both the substage and an amp (maybe one in the same).

Update
You're right, someone must have decided that it was easier to just cut the wires before the connectors and take the sub out. I'm guessing the original owner (I just bought this with 20k miles) took it with him for the next truck. This all appears to be the upgrade package available with original purchase.
Since I was upgrading everything anyways, I basically bypassed the Kicker DSP/Amp all together and only used the power and ground for the sub under the seat (that was convenient).
New system install for anyone that cares:
Pioneer AVH-X5800BHS
(Using metra's bezel and harness and retaining sync. Not really impressed with the SYNC screen functionality or the climate control buttons and may switch to the Maestro).
Pioneer GM-D8604
4 channels at 100 RMS each
Kicker Hideaway
** With the discovery of the Kicker DSP and sub wiring in place, I was able to tap right in to the ground and power already there for the sub and left the speaker wires alone as I ran RCA to the Hideaway harness and Kicker KISL at the sub).
Kicker KS series
Coax in back and Component up front.

I would definitly run a aftermarket Amp Wiring Kit, 8 or 4 awg. That oem power and ground wire, arent big enough for any amp over 200w. You run the risk of melting that oem wiring.
Or worse, possibly burning youre nice truck to the ground!

I think I'm good. Should have clarified...I ran new 4 gauge for my pioneer amp. Only used the sub wires for my kicker hideaway which is 150 rms. Current Gauge is either the same or 1 notch higher than the hideaway harness.
Thanks for checking though.
