Underneath it is the amp that powers the door speakers. Search the forum for 'door speaker amp wiring' and in one of them your will find which wires you need to splice into - you will find + and - for each channel as well as power. Ground the LOC wherever you ground your sub amp. If you hear alternator noise in the sub when you are done you can get RCA isolators to put inline.
Most LOC are 2 channel, but you can just combine them into 1 with a simple RCA y line if your amp doesn't have 2 RCA inputs.
If they are building and carpeting a new box and running a dedicated power line with fuse in the engine bay, through the firewall back to the sub amp and then mounting the sub amp $400 is not a lot of money. At all. Anything beyond the most simple of sub boxes will take a few hours to make, then they have to remove a decent amount of your interior and find a place to run the power line. If they break tabs off of the interior panels when they remove them and they won't reinstall correctly they have to pay for them. When you do it you will have to pay for the new panels.
I was a car audio installer during college. There were countless times that someone came for a price, said it was too high, tried to do it themselves and then came back for me to fix their screw up at an even higher price because they made more problems that I had to fix. I don't want to judge you but if you are asking for help just to install a LOC I really don't think you are ready to tackle this project.
YMMV

I'm pretty sure I can do it, I just want to make sure the information I have read is correct. I have installed car audio equipment in the past, but just never with a LOC.
Also, I found this on Ebay. The seller said it would work in my vehicle.

Any thoughts?
