Kinda depends on what you might be using them for, and whether or not they still work. Are the wiring terminals not labeled? Or does it have the old kind of plug in harness thing?

They certainly could be useful if you wanted to add more speakers to your vehicle in other locations, but other than that I don't know how great they'd be for something like a sub, or as a 4 channel for component speakers....

How old are these amps? Are we talking 10+ years? or is it more like less than 5?

Can you list the brand names and what's what.I'm sure you know that brands like Sherwood amp/eq are not that of a high quality,amp/eq induced a lot of noise in your system that's why that's no longer very avaible (maybe entry level brands like Pyramid,Boss,Profile,American Pro,Kraco,etc),so ya tell us what you've got and we will try to help you.

the standard colors for power ground and remote are - red ,black, blue or orange if there are more wires they are hi level input or speaker output and should be GREEN/ green black, PURPLE / purple black, grey/grey black, WHITE/ white black some older units used grey on all speaker wires with coordinating stripes
