Also, if you look closely with those same wires, there is a very thin black wire... is this a remote turn on for the stock amp??
The bigger question is which wires are positive/negative and which side is right and left?
Here's a shot of the harness as well:

And if you yank back the carpet, here's all the wiring heading to the front of the car down the drivers side:

Your guess that the thicker wires are for the subs is a logical conclusion.
Take the passenger seat out, it's easy. Then, open up the stock sub box and take a look at the wires. If they are the same color as the ones in the back, you're in business.
