I have another (brand new) exactly the same as the one I use.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Your headunit has a small internal amp built in to it. It should have four pairs of speaker wires coming out of the back (FR, FL, RR, RL) along with the normal power, acc, etc. Those wires will need to be connected to the line in part on the crossover, apparently labeled 'to amp' on yours.
If your headunit has already been installed those speaker wires will already be going straight to the existing speakers. In that case all you have to do is cut the wires somewhere along the line (preferably where it it will be easy to mount the crossover, ie not in the door) and connect the end leading to the headunit to the line in part of the crossover, and the other end to the main driver out. Then all thats left to do is connect the tweeter to the tweeter out on the crossover.
For a cheap amp get yourself back to Jaycar, if you aren't planning on running a sub a small two channel amp will do. Can probably get the required wiring and everything for <$250.
