What is it, and what types of devices use it? What is it's purpose? My amp has one, and I found a cable that matches it hidden under the carpet, not plugged into anything.

It's four wires with a square plastic plug in at the end.

Speaker level input is for hooking an amp to a head-unit with no rca (line level) outs. Your sound quality will never be as good as with line level because the sound is being amplified twice. Not the way to go unless you have no other choice, like with an oem stereo or a leased vehicle. If you can, always use the rca outs, and get quality cables as the non-amplified sound is easily affected by other electrical sources in your car. Hope this helps.

The speaker level inputs, quite simply, are the wires that run from your stereo to your speakers.
So, when your amp's specs claim that it accepts speaker level inputs, it means that you can connect your car's speaker wires to the amplifier and then run the amplified output signal on to your speakers. This type of set-up is for low budget installations, and I do not recommend it. If you have an aftermarket stereo, then there's a good chance that is has RCA outputs. These will send a much stronger signal to your amp than your speaker wires (speaker level input).
