2007 E550 Stereo system question

So got this car and it has an aftermarket head unit, the previous owner also installed an amp and sub but pulled them out since he wanted to keep them. Now nothing in the rear of the car works speaker-wise. He said the system was installed at best buy. Im guessing they refed the rear with his now removed amp and I would like to put everything back to normal for now if possible? Have a wiring diagram but not sure if this will work?....or what to look for?

You are on the position to learn how to install a rear sound extension.

Take stock of what hook ups you have for the rear and see how many channels: (2+1) ?

Learn about your options or drive by a shop to get a quote.

in other words you want...
stock with the upgraded head
plus the custom rear rebuilt again
What sort of budget you're lookin' at spending with all that?

Ok we got it figured out, tore the trunk down and found everything needed to make things work correctly. All the wires were kinda tucked away but looks like we just need an amp and a sub box and we will be in business.
Not going to go crazy I cannot stand obnoxiously loud stereos.

Thanks!!
