I'm installing a stereo head unit and don't have sound. This blue wire comes from the included harness and is the amp control wire. The control wire on the other connector at the unit also says amp control and isn't connected to anything. I'm assuming I have to connect the two wires and this thing (plus heat shrink wrap...?) will help. I'm unsure if I should use this or cut and strip the wires and find some wire nuts. How do I use this connector, (if it even is one)?

No its a bullet connector. This is a male end.

That makes more sense. I was sure I’d seen this before and it was plugged in as you say but man does it look like it would be terrible at that job. I prefer my interpretation but I’m almost certainly missing something.
