    Anybody have any idea what this is?

    I bought my TJ 6 months ago and I am planning on putting in aftermarket sound system. I found this in the location where I was gonna put my amp. Does anyone have any idea what this box could be? My dad thinks it’s for the antenna. Also, could anyone tell me what the other wiring is there for? Thanks
