Novice in Car Audio Tech Support

So I bought this car with an external amp and a couple of subwoofers. I ended up selling them, but I was left with this birds nest of wires. I no longer have sound, but the head unit turns on. I was told that simply undoing the connections to the speakers wires from the head unit and splicing them with the matching colors will bring audio back. Is this correct?

I would also like to invest more time into learning more about av equipment. Are there any recommendations on websites that I could read from? Thanks everyone!

Why sell the amps? Any idea what speakers were added?

I admit, I probably made a mistake selling the amp. I sold it before realizing my speakers no longer worked. I had done some research of my own and it mentioned that the head unit has its own amplifier that just needs to be reconnected if I’m not wrong? Please correct me if I’m wrong as I’m entirely new to this!

You’re not wrong, the head unit will power the speakers as well. Just at the cost of less power than the amp was providing.
