Default Can anyone identify these wires?

I was taking our my back seat in order to find a possible leaking point into my cab. Anyways, I found underneath the mat behind the driver side rear seat, four wires that were wrapped in some kind of black cross thatched sleeve and were cut. The sleeve isn't anything I've ever noticed before but it looks like something that could come from the factory but I really can't tell about the wires. I'm hoping that the attachments work but if not the wires are white, baby blue, gray and dark blue. They are maybe like a 12 gauge. Nothing is running funny or amiss as far as I know of and I didn't really notice these color wires when I was changing out my head unit, although I really wasn't looking for these wires. I haven't been able to really trace the wires forward but apparently they are running along the driver side floor panel and venture off somewhere under the driver seat. If any of this turns a light on in their heads on what they might be, I'd greatly appreciate the info on identifying them.

Well I don't think it was wiring for subs. I traced the wires under the dash. They splice into the kill fob thing and has a plug that is not connected to anything. It has an OEM looking tag that says RHRAM and the power wire runs through the firewall to a detached fuse connected to the main fuse box. It also has an looking tag that says RHRAM power. The connector for this wire at the firewall inside the engine compartment looks factory. Would this ring a bell with anyone now that I have more info?

So I was able to just find out what the crap these wires went to. I found an installation walkthrough with diagrams. Apparently this is a Mopar subwoofer connection, which would also explain why I have a small kicker tab on the driver door. The kicker sub was under the rear driver seat. Apparently the previous meth head owner of this truck must've boofed me yet again and ganked the sub. Oh well, I don't plan on adding a sub so I might cut the excess cords and call it a day.
