To install a LOC do you splice the speaker wires to the corresponding wires on the LOC then plug the RCA cables to the LOC then to the amp?

Yep! Be sure to read the operating manual if one came with your LOC as there may be a gain adjustment you must take care to set properly.

Yes, leave it. Make sure the soldered connection is well taped as well as any terminal ends that have been disconnected.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Do you need to power the LOC somehow?

Only if the instructions tell you to. Did the instructions tell you to? If they did, then you do, if they didn't, then you don't. You probably won't have to.

There are several types. Some are powered. What is the make/model of your LOC?
