It looks to be the wires that would go to the boes amp, maybe someone had an aftermarket amp in there before.

Does your car have the Bose radio? If so, that is near the location where the Bose amp connects to the audio system.

well it depends what kinda of amp he had back there. could have been a 2,3,4,5, or 6 channel amp.
However, looking at the pics It looks to me like it was a 4 channel (looks like 8 gauge, going in 8 gauge going out - power/ground) and the rest of the wires look like speaker wires and 1 is likely your remote wire (turns the amp on when the car turns on) which could be going to back of the head unit it's really hard to say man. sorry

I tried contacting him many times but he just doesn't answer so i just need someone that has an 06' g35 coupe to go in a trunk and do me a huge favor and just look at his wire where it connects to I would even pay money for someone to do that for me

It looks like the BOSE input harness is completely cut off. That would be the blue harness. If you look in the 'add a sub' sticky you will find which wires do what. Then you can connect them to a new amp and plug back into the factory output wires. That's a really crappy thing to do to a new owner. I spliced into my harness just so that someday I wouldn't screw another owner over (rather keep it till it dies though)
