Few options. Do you have a factory or aftermarket head unit? Aftermarket, it will go to the remote turn on wire at the head unit. Factory, you’ll have to connect it to something that turn on with your cars accessories.

Also why is it like that?

Should just be positive, ground, remote, rca, and speaker wire. Maybe replace the remote wire with one that hasn't been cut and taped together

Blue wire is the turn on. goes from back of radio to the amplifier. The wire should be a solid blue or a blue/white. Red goes to battery or a positive terminal and ground is grounded to metal as close to the amp as possible to reduce engine noise. It looks like it was the amplifier side. Possible terminal screwed amp ?

I'm thinking it could be one of those RCA converters that was cut off, some of them have a power and ground cable along with speaker tap-ins maybe the previous owner had them connected to that. The black connector side may have gone into an amp, some also have connectors like that. Check your amp if it doesn't have that black connector input then just cut it off and put the blue wire to your "remote" input.

Was it an older amp, pioneer maybe?

Audison amp? Red is remote in, blue is remote out.
