I was pulling up my carpet on the passenger side and while removing the edge siding I pulled up this thick black insulated cable, cut at the end, and with two exposed wires inside: one red and one black. Cable runs from center console down passenger side to at least rear passenger door, or that's where the cut is at least.

See photo.

Any idea what this? I'm testing all my electric and audio systems and everything seems to work. I never noticed this before and can't find information online about what it is, and have no idea how it was cut.

 

That does not look factory. They look pretty heavy duty too. Did you just get this? Perhaps an aftermarket amp or subwoofer?

And, what year is your XJ?

 

Ah that would make sense. It's a 2000 sport, and recently bought. A removed subwoofer makes a ton of sense! Thank you
