if the wires don't do anything, it's entirely possible that the wires go to something that is no longer installed. the easiest way to check that is with a digital multimeter set to the lowest ohm setting. if there's a speaker, there will be a resistance reading.
the only oddball setup i know of that you wouldn't notice in this scenario would be if they installed bass shakers in the car. but then you should notice the vibrations from them. but they will still have a resistance.
what subwoofer do you have now?
what kind of music do you listen to?

Gotcha, yeah I have been looking into headunits but haven't heard much about ones that cost less than around $500 and I didn't want to take a huge plunge like that at the moment. I already have the touch screen and would want to upgrade to a more responsive one.
I tested the wires and am just getting a flat 1 out of it so I assume there is nothing on the other end. I am not sure what would have been taken out of the car as nothing is really missing except the passenger upper foot trim, which I cant imagine a speaker being there as I see no open wires. Speaking of which, I know you have a lot of experience with BRZ's, do you know what this piece would be considered so I could replace?
I typically listen to R&B & Pop so bass is pretty important. I've been looking at a lot of reviews and found these PIONEER TS-SW2502S4 10-Inch (
