Welcome to the forum. That looks like a battery isolator. It is used to allow a second battery to operate the audio system without affecting the car's battery.

And it's a diode type isolator...

It may be cheaper using a relay type isolator unless you have a Sense circuit/wire from the alternator's voltage regulator to the battery, but then the 2nd battery can be over or undercharged.
