Perhaps they took their aftermarket sub out, but left the controller in? In any case, that is NOT oem equipment in any way, shape or form, so you will need to talk to whomever you bought it from to figure that out (or take it apart and start tracing wires).
You might check under the seat? There is a slimline sub by Kicker that can fit under the seats of some cars - we have one in our Jeep Wrangler - has a very similar knob.
