Default Looking for wiring guys - wiring sub to Pioneer H/U

I have the pioneer 4100DVD H/U, i've had it for a few weeks, but never wired in the factory sub. I didn't have the connecter to wire it. Well today I got the audiophile connecter that receives the stock wiring plug and converts it to the Red and White plugs to plug in to the H/U. There are also two blue wires coming off the back of the connector. I just plugged everything up, other than the two blue wires, and the sub is still not firing. I have it turned on and up through the H/U, but it's still not firing. Does anybody know if these two blue wires are necessary and if so where they go??

So looking at this, do I just need to cut the Dark/Green/Violet wire and wire one or both of the wires to that??
Dark/green/Violet- sub amp enable
Black/orange - ground
Violet/light blue - voltage supplies at all times (overload protected)
Brown/orange - subwoofer signal +
Red/Black - subwoofer signal -
Black - shield

I'm lost...the two wires shown just attach to the radios antenna power lead and your amp should turn on. After you confirm it's working, read the thread above.

The two blue wires are the ones i'm referring to, I'm not sure what if anything to connect them to. They say AMP TURN-ON. This was an extra one the install guy had so I don't have any of the supplied directions etc..
