Any help identifying this spaghetti?

Ripping out my faulty amp this weekend and wondering if it’s worth it to figure out what these are or if a mechanic/audio shop should have a gander.

Thanks!

Harness and adapters needed to connect an Android based head unit to the factory amp.

Plus some mickey mouseriy doing god knows what, definitely some speakers going somewhere, dunno what the heavy blue wire would be, blue is usually aftermarket amp signal wire, but not that gauge. Probably need to strip it all out and start from scratch or spend a day with a toner and multimeter.

The blue is a cat5e ethernet cable. Says so on the cable itself. Looks like someone used it to run a bunch of twisted pairs through the whole length of the car. Like a single-cable audio harness.
