Default Misc Electronics under my seat (PIE?)

So, I was looking at my blown bose speakers and I noticed it had some spliced connectors hooked up and I didn't know where they went to until today.

Could anyone tell me if this is factory and am I messing up things by removing this?
Thanks

Yeah that's definitely not OEM. Hard to say what removing it will do without seeing exactly what's wired to what.

Aren't 2 of the speakers from the head unit amped and two not? Maybe this was an attempt to amp.

But they were spliced in like this and I don't believe it's OEM

The last pic shows it spliced into the amp
