by Zak Billmeier Looking for great sound from your factory radio? Would you like to upgrade your car's premium system? AudioControl's LC2i line output converter takes amplified speaker-level signals and converts them into high-quality preamp signals that can be fed to another processor or amplifier. In other words, it lets you create an awesome car audio system without disturbing your factory controls or features. Get your bass back Some factory radios dial down the bass as you turn up the volume to protect their speakers. The problem is, they don't give it back when you upgrade to a nice set of aftermarket speakers. AudioControl packs the LC2i with their AccuBASS™ circuitry that reverses the factory bass rolloff, giving you the bass you need to enjoy your music to the fullest. Place the LC2i between your factory system and your bass amp, and you'll hear a huge difference in bass response. High-voltage signal for great sound Some premium systems use multi-wire speaker cables for systems with multiple speakers. The LC2i features two speaker-level inputs that let you connect amplified signals up to 400 watts, including cables from Bose® and other premium factory systems. The LC2i then sends out a high-powered preamp signal — up to 9.5 volts RMS — that helps every amp perform to its maximum ability. Convenience The optional dash-mount remote control allows you to adjust the level of your sub channel on the go. The speaker-level inputs sense incoming signals and turn on the LC2i, while a built-in 12-volt trigger tells your amps or other gear to turn on when you start your car.

LC2I Written By Bee Jay, Florida on Sunday, April 26, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good substitute for a stock head unit replacement. If you own a late model vehicle, & don't want to replace the stock stereo control head, this is the thing for you. Initial setup was a little trial & error, but once set up properly, it worked as advertised. I was able to eliminate the lows in my stock speakers & basically boost the pre bass notes to the amp with minimal distortion.... if any. Most bang for your buck in my perspective,.... only if you take the time to set it up right! Pros: Adjust ability, versatility. Easy to install. Compact. Cons: None really, Know what your attempting to purchase.....
very easy to use Written By Anonymous, pa on Sunday, April 12, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used the cheap ones before but this product made the sound extremely clear...great product Cons: None
best sound and bass Written By 14 camaro, tempe az on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great! Have tried many other similar products and this one takes it!! Clear crisp bass, adjusted for my preference in sounds and love it. Running 2 jl 12w7s with 2 slash v3 1200's on a stock headunit in a 2014 camaro.
Works Great thus Far Written By Anonymous, Casper, Wyoming on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is a great product for a stock radio. Works like a charm however it was a little tricky to put in but it's worth the time.
Awesome performer Written By Stan, FAirbanks, ak on Thursday, March 12, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I removed the factory subwoofer from my 2014 ram 1500 and hooked this upto the factory wires. Works amazing the sound quality is awesome the tuneing capabilities are great. I have this hooked to a JL audio hd750/1 and two JL audio w6v3 in a custom box. Highly recommend. Installation time was minimal and straight forward. It accepts upto 400w on the inputs so you can wire it to any head units speaker level output. Crutchfields support and customer service was amazing as always. Pros: Ease of use, performance, tuneing capabilities. Cons: None I can think of
Does what it should Written By Anonymous, Tulsa, OK on Thursday, February 19, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does what it should do. Easier to install that it first appears. Great sound quality. Pros: Easy instal, great sound quality, level controls. Cons: Expensive.
Awesome Written By Reef, Pompano Beach , Fl on Sunday, December 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Used to install Kenwood amp and subs to factory system in 2014 Genesis coupe , hits harder than most systems around :) definitely recommend ...
First ever online review GREAT! Written By Dr.Joe, Canada on Wednesday, December 24, 2014 I have never ever written a review for anything online but I thought this product deserved it. It's great. I recently bought an F-150 and tried to tough out the stock system, I couldn't. I installed this today, along with an amplifier and subwoofer, took me a couple hours as I've never removed the dash or floor trim on an F-150. I always had aftermarket audio equipment in my vehicles but did not want to change the deck in the F-150 because it already had everything I wanted; bluetooth, voice command, steering wheel controls, usb and auxiliary but not a subwoofer. I was VERY skeptical about the way this was going to sound but I must say I'm blown away. It sounds just as good as having an aftermarket deck, granted my speakers are not amped but the stereo sounds great and MUCH better than the stock. I do not recommend installing this if your not comfortable installing stereos as it can be a little tricky if you're not a pro. Anyways if your looking to add a subwoofer to your factory system THIS IS the product to get. I thought I'd write a an installation review because I couldn't find a decent one online. LC2i must have a -12v constant -12v accessory -ground -remote in/out (out going to your amp) -speaker wires that have been tapped into (i did right rear) to the lc2i -rca's from lc2i to your amp 5 stars! Pros: great sound easy to install (if you've installed stereos before) lots of tuning options Cons: a little to big to hide, about the size of a postcard
awesome product Written By Gary J, Norfolk, VA on Monday, December 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this broduct for my 2013 focus ST so I could hook up aftermarket amp and subwoofers with stock head unit and it worked perfectly Pros: Easy install Small unit that was easy to hide from sight
Line Output Converter Written By Ricky Bobby, Chesterfield, VA on Wednesday, December 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic product. Tried using hi level inputs, but sounded terrible. Thought about one of those $20 dollar LOCs, but after talking to some other installers decided against it. One installer told me that his rockford fosgate distributor uses all audiocontrol equipment. After installing, I had to turn the Accubass feature all the way down. It may be good for subwoofers but I'm using for my full range amplifier (Helix Blue B Two) and 6x9 (Pioneer TS-D6902) combo. It's crazy how much extra bass this thing can produce. Can't tell the difference between this with a stock hu and a good aftermarket hu. Pros: Quality signal output Cons: Slight "pop" when turning car on
worked for a bit.... Written By Donnie, independence mo on Thursday, November 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Worked for a few months, then it was turning my amp off and on while I want in the car. Woke up to a dead battery not knowing that's what it was doing. Jump started my car, drove to work and made sure my car would start before working my shift. After my shift, dead battery. Jumped my car and got a new battery. After installing it I went over my car trying to find the problem, look in the trunk and there it is. My amp going in and off due to this product. So now I'm out 80 for lc2i and 80 for a new battery. I don't recommend this product from my experience. I may have just got a defective one, who knows. Cons: Defective
LC2i in 2013 F150 SCREW XLT Written By JPR, Jacksonville, Florida on Monday, October 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice alternative to a standard LOC. It works exactly as described. The GTO (Auto Turn On feature) works very well and also turns on my amp/sub combination. I still need to spend time find tuning the settings as I am trying to compensate for the roll off from the factory head unit and send the correct signal to the Sound Ordnance B-8PTD Pros: Easy install, works as described Cons: More in depth guidance on settings would be appreciated
Great product Written By toneb210, San Antonio, TX on Friday, October 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced my passive line out converter with the Audio Control device. I had got some new 12 inch JL w3 subs and the sound difference wasnt much better over my old 10 inch w1's. After researching I found this device. Saw great reviews and a great price, so I ordered it. After install it was immediately noticeable that the Audio Control lc2i puts out a much better signal that the standard passive loc. My subs hit harder, deeper, louder, and cleaner. Best alternative to getting an aftermarket head unit, or a way more expensive JL or kicker device. Pay attention to the instructions and do the level matching properly. After all, these settings are what set the lc2i apart from other loc's. After only one day im still playing with the accu-bass setting to see where I like it, as well as gain on my amp. Its also a quality build. Not some little plastic box. I highly recommend. Pros: Fairly easy install. Quality build, great settings and output. Cons: None so far.
AudioControl LC2i Written By Juan, San Diego, CA on Sunday, October 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used this to install an aftermarket amplifier & subwoofer in my daughter's 2009 VW Jetta. This does exactly what it states, it provides a high quality pre-amp signal to the amplifier that is free of any noises or turn on/off pops. Setting it up was very easy to do, & the signal sensing feature is a very nice thing to have. There was no need to find a remote trigger source, as this unit sends the amplifier the signal once is senses a signal from the stereo. I highly recommend this unit. Pros: Easy to use & setup. Provides a high quality signal free of any noise. No need for a remote trigger. Cons: None
Audio Control LC2i Written By Jeff, Springfield MA on Sunday, October 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product, easy installation, if it wasn't for this product I would not have been able to add amplification and additional base to my OEM high end system. The OEM wiring makes it impossible to add on components however the LC2i made it simple and possible! Pros: Simplicity Cons: More details on installation of power and ground
LC2i Written By Anonymous, South Bend, IN on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product; worked just as advertised.
Impressed Written By Foxman, Lockport,il on Monday, July 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very impressed with product. no nonsense straight forward packaging.
it works great Written By fred, Del Rey, CA on Saturday, July 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Its works really great the sound is great too and amp trun on is awesome Pros: amp turn on and the bass control Cons: lack of instructions
Lc2i Written By Dan, Manteca, ca on Sunday, June 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Instructions stink, does not make it clear that the system needs power. Other than that works as it should. Pros: Easy to install, sounds great. Cons: Instructions stink, kind of expensive.
Easy to connect Written By jp, Miami,FL on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Taped into factory sub output to get signal and it works perfectly, also the remote out for amp is great. Pros: Turns on with radio signal and has remote on for amp. Cons: non
Remote Trigger works great Written By Tom, New Haven, CT on Thursday, May 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed to replace old PAC unit which failed with the power always on to my subwoofer amp. (killed my battery). Anyways this is also triggered from your car speakers, so when you turn on stereo, it triggers LC2i to fire up and send remote signal to my sub amp. (just like the PAC used too.) Sound and adjustments seem much better from subwoofer as well. Pros: Easy install, remote trigger features, better sound. Cons: none.
Great Product Written By Daniel Lee, Brooklyn, NY on Monday, May 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The best bang for the buck for a cheap mod to your factory radio. Does not have the full features of the JL Cleansweep but it is also only 1/3 the cost. Great if you just want to add a sub. Pros: Easy to setup and install. Automatically creates a remote line from the speaker line input which is a great feature. Cons: None.
Very Nice Written By Russ, South Dakota on Saturday, March 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed In 2011 f150 SC. Removed glove box and was able to mount it under dash above glove box. Connected To MTX thunder 500. Crystal clear sound and the remote turn on works great. Thank you Crutchfield. Pros: Able to keep factory radio with sync and add a subwoofer. Crystal clear sound . Remote turn on. Very adjustable Cons: None,
No bass in your new car? Get this! Written By GW, The Texas Panhandle on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow, this thing is great. My '14 Silverado came with the Bose soundsystem upgrade. It sounded good, but needed more bass to sound "complete". The LC2I is the magic link that makes the addition of a subwoofer to a late-model vehicle so transparent and easy. Pros: Ease of installation, fits just about anywhere, works as advertised, economical Cons: vague connection information/no schematics
AudioControl LC2i Written By GarrisonD, Meridian, ID on Friday, January 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This a great product if you are wanting to keep you original stereo, but still want to run a amp and sub. My subs are now louder and hit so much cleaner with being able to adjust the bass output. Pros: Adjustability, options, ease of install, control Cons: instructions could be a little better, but it wasn't hard to figure out
my opinion Written By melvinfg, ponce PR on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) good sound and easy to mount Pros: change totally the sound of my car Cons: the remote
AudioControl LC2i Written By rp, fl on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great product if you want to keep your factor head unit Cons: none
Great device Written By ToddH, Milwaukee, WI on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the LC2i to addan additional subwoofer to my factory subs in a Chrysler 300. This device made it simple to just tap off one of the existing sub's speaker wiring for an input and gave me line level outputs to my Alpine amp for the new sub.The Great Turn On (GTO) circuit works well to provide a trigger for my added amp. All I had to do was run battery lines to the amp - a great benefit since finding a "switched" 12 volt signal on this car is about impossible with canbus control of just about everything! The Accu-bass circuitry works really well, too, providing me with just a small shelved boost in the lowest frequencies, since my factory radio already has pretty decent frequency response at all volume levels. I would highly recommend this unit for newer vehicles, especially if you have canbus controlled power everywhere. Pros: small size, well thought out design, excellent performance, virtually silent. Cons: documentation could be better, but still easy enough to figure out.
Great Written By Joe, Philadelphia on Wednesday, December 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Used it for bass output in my 2012 Expedition. Restored the bass perfectly. Easy hookup and adjustment. Pros: Perfect on stock radio Cons: None
AudioControl LC2i Written By Anonymous, VA on Thursday, November 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product, got this along with the AudioControl bass knob and it works great for my factory system in 2013 Accord
Big Difference! Written By rolfer85, Oak Lawn, IL on Sunday, October 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product was advised to me by a Crutchfield tech support member. I have an 06 MINI cooper S that I removed the Harman Kardon system from and replaced with an Arc Audio MINI 4 channel amp driving Inegral Audio 6.5" Infinity 2 ways up front and 2 6" JL 6W3v3's in the rear. I called Crutchfield to seek help from a lack of bass. I would have to dial my stock radio's bass setting all the way up and crank the volume in order to get any sort of noticeable bass output from the subs. This was also after I dialed up the output on the amplifier. The tech support recommended the LC2i which I have since installed and immediately it has made a major difference. The sound quality even from my front 2 ways are improved. Overall Rock, Alternative and Classical music all sound great with the LC2i knobs all at the center position. Rap music however is overpowering for the bass and I have to turn the bass knob down a couple clicks on the radio when playing bass. Also, the automatic turn-on feature worked great for the LC2i, however for whatever reason, installing this no longer kept the functionality of the automatic turn on for my amplifier. No big deal though, I used the remote on output from the LC2i and wired into the remote turn on input for my amplifier. Overall this has been an excellent product and probably the best <$100 upgrade I've made to my audio system yet. Pros: Small package- easy to fit/hide Great sound output Simple set up, I actually like that it only allows 2 channel mode F&R Well balanced output for everything but Rap Cons: Lack of 'troubleshooting' in the included 'instructions'- had to google what the red light meant (means on) Automatic turn on works for LC2i but killed the function for my amplifier Too much bass output for Rap music
AudioControl LC2i Written By Cody, OK on Friday, October 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I instaled this in a factory equiped F150 FX4 crew cab, the amp is a Alpine MRP-500 hooked to a Rockford R2D2-10 seems to work as it should the bass seems to be restored, and the amp turn on lead is a great adder as well. Pros: works as advertised and is easy to install with a factory radio Cons: could be in a nicer looking housing
Great product! Written By Jay, 17331 on Friday, July 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you are satisfied with your factory headunit and want to add some amp/subwoofer excitement then this line converter is for you. Great quality and options to add amp/sub and(or) amp/midrange speaker setup. You won't be disappointed.
crazy clean sound! Written By Travis, Arizona on Thursday, July 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this to add a sub to my VW factory system and couldn't be happier! Even though its a 2 channel, it has a sub output in addition to a 2 channel output, so I may use it to drive a two channel amp and power my focals up front! Pros: Easy to install, accubass is great, nice and small, great sound! Cons: None!
Not bad Written By gman9966, MA on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I think its ok. I dont listen to RAP and the bass boost is probably more suited to Rap which is more boomy. I like rock and I would have prefered a more dry punchy bass you can feel. What I get instead is boomy rap sound. I have played my sub that I used in this sytem in other vehicles using aftermarket headunits and I know what it supposed to sound like. This definitely adds the bass back, but the accubass it too boomy for me to give it 5 stars. Many of you younger folks listening to todays music will be delighted. It gives you very loud very strong pounding bass...its just too boomy for me. Pros: clean signal. Good for adding an amp to a stock head unit. Cons: should have had better control to shape the bass to what you prefer. dry or boomy
Didn't work for me Written By MissileCrisis, las vegas on Monday, June 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I must be the only guy thats had a problem with this LOC. I purchased it to based on the fact it had a 5 star rating from this site. And I'm always down to spend the money and get something thats right for the job. Long story short everything was hooked up "right" because redid it 3 times after the LOC wasn't working. The LOC has to be a defected product because I did my research and this LOC was acting in the manner that a defected product does. So waiting to get the same new one and will try this again people. Note that this review is based on the fact that I'm the rare person who has had problems with this LOC. This product seems legit and thats why I'm getting the same one. One more Note: the remote subwoofer adjuster didn't work when we plugged it in. Thought that was weird too :( Crutchfield response on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.
AudioControl LC2i Written By typo_joe, Conway, SC on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in a 2013 Dodge Ram. Connected from the uConnect 3.0 factory head unit. Then connected to a Kicker CX1200.1 amplifier. Works as described. The best line out converter that I've ever owned. No complaints. Pros: High output voltage, High power handling, Lots of adjustably Cons: None that I know of
LOC thats great to use for the price! Written By dt, Hampton VA on Monday, May 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) While installing my equipment on a budget this convertor did the trick. No ground loop issues. Installed in a 2013 Honda Accord EX with no issues. Just had to turn off the ANC's to have everything work good. Simple adjustibility. Great product, fast shipping, and free shipping! Pros: Functionality. Simple to Use. Easy to install. Cons: None
AudioControl LC2i Written By Tom R., Upstate New York on Sunday, May 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After researching different options, I chose the LC2i to add a stealth subwoofer to a newly purchased VW Golf. I have done numerous installs in the past, but this one differred as it is a "grown-up" application, meant to be undetectable (except to the ears). This Audiocontrol device is oustanding. The quality and quantity of the signal provides clarity and low noise, and the GTO function works perfectly, and in fact provided a switched 12 volt supply for the amp that was installed with it, a Rockford Fosgate R500 1D. The setup instructions are "subtle," to put it nicely. However there is a wealth of information available, as well as great customer support with Audiocontrol. Pros: High quality signal Tuning flexibility Excellent build quality Cons: Vague instructions
Worth every penny! Written By Hags, Stafford, VA on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this on my 2012 Dodge Challenger and this is one amazing LOC. I tapped into my rear right speaker and it gives an amazing, strong signal to my 300watt Sony amp. The signal quality is just as good a RCA output on an aftermarket radio but this device allows me to keep my Bluetooth, steering wheel controls and Satellite radio on my stock system. Install is easy for a rookie like me, took about 2 hours but most of that time was spent making a nice clean setup. I used a line tap(from auto zone) from my fuse box to power the LC2i. Pros: Great for amps that don't have adjustment knobs, signal is strong and just as good as an RCA, automatically turns on with your factory stereo Cons: none
Mighty Cool Audio Tool Written By Pujo, Hessmer, Louisiana on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am a 40 yr old studio engineer. I was skeptical about getting this for my new Silverado. Cheap, yea but whatever. I just wanted to get some quality sound in my truck and get rid of the factory crap. I ordered this unit from Crutchfield with the hopes of it at least turning on my amp. But WOW I was freakin amazed... Blew me away.. Sound quality (and I know sound quality) this unit is the boss. Pros: ALL OF THEM, IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS UNIT. LOOK NO FURTHER Cons: NOT A DANG THING, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!
Audio control LC2i Written By Gabe, Newcastle, OK on Saturday, March 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great control for adding a sub to my stock system I was leery about it just because I've had other line outs but this by far outperformed all of my expectations Cons: I wish I could have added one more sub
AudioControl LC2i Written By Anonymous, Sumner, WA on Sunday, March 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Another great audio control product. I have been using their products since the 1990's. Still have a sub x-over working in my garage setup from back then. Pros: Excellent quality and price. Build in the northwest- USA. Cons: None.
LC2i Mustang Shaker 500 Written By Ernest, New Mexico on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Product helped get me more sub-woofer volume from the stock mustang system that I installed an amp and a 10" sub in the trunk. The speaker level inputs from the Shaker 500 weren't doing a good enough job supplying my amp with a good signal. Tried two different brand loc's, went pure line level and I even bought another amp trying to nail down this issue. Since adding the LC2i I can now turn down my amp gain and have plenty of room to spare. Didn't notice any depth improvements in the low frequency ranges and the GTO didn't work but the sub-woofer volume range is improved and the whole system sounds much richer as a result. For me it was worth the money, thank you Crutchfield. Pros: Definitely improves signal strength to the amplifier inputs. Cons: GTO feature didn't work with my application and wish the lows were a tad bit lower.
Great Product Written By tmag432, Helena, MT on Friday, February 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I hooked the AudioControl LC2i up to my stock stereo in my 2012 Subaru Impreza with no issues. The directions were straight forward and easy to understand. After I hooked up my amp and sub woofer, I plunged the battery back up and was anxious to test this product out. At first, the amp didn't kick on with the remote wire that was attached to the AudioControl LC2i, but I quickly figured out that my fuse was blown on my power wire that connected my amp. I replace the fuse and was extremely excited that everything was working and the base that came out of my sub-woofer was amazing!! I am very pleased with this product and everything worked like it should. I would recommend this product to anyone. Pros: Easy to install, Great base sound from stock stereo, small and easy to hide Cons: None that I can think of
2012 mustang shaker 500 Written By Anonymous, Jacksonville, AR on Thursday, February 14, 2013 Works great with my shaker 500, you just have to set the accubass Threshold to the lowest setting then you can turn the bass level up to what you desire. The AccuBass you can leave in the middle or turn it up to add deeper bass to your radio since the shaker 500 does not have roll off bass. Pros: Best way to add bass to a factor radio Company support response time Cons: no directions for dealing with radios that don't have roll off bass
LC2i excellent LOC Written By Marty, Johnston, South Carolina on Thursday, January 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to use and install I have it pushing two soundstream amps and a pair of sundown audio 8s sounds great and easy adjustments. Installed in a 2011 ford f150 SCREW Pros: Easy to install easy adjustments turns on amps with signal sensing and still can use factory deck Cons: Really none except I can notice some bass feedback through my mids and highs at high volume
Highly recommended Written By Jason, Greensboro NC on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I first purchased a vehicle specific sub enclose with a 10" sub and built in 300W amp with built in hi-level inputs. It was rather high end and rather expensive. I tapped into the rear speaker wires for the input. I was so disappointed with that setup I wound up returning it, output was just subpar and even with the gain all the way up I could not get the bass level high enough compared to the other speakers. Thinking it was the equipment I went back to what I knew, a JL Audio 10" sub and this time a 600W amp to drive it. The amp also had built in hi-level inputs and I hooked it up the same rear speaker inputs. I once again was not happy with the volume level and had to resort to using the bass boost on the amp to get the sub volume up and was not happy as the bass response was no longer linear. Being more familiar with the equipment I now knew the issue wasn't there, it simply had to be the level of signal going into the amp as compared to the volume going to the speakers. I needed a stronger, louder input going into the amp. I picked up an LC2i and the difference is amazing. I went from being disappointed with the amp gain at 5/6 and the bass boost at 6db to now the sub hits very hard with the amp gain at 1/2 and the bass boost at 0db. (I'm not even using the AccuBass) I had no idea an external converter could make such a difference but the ability to control the signal level going into the amp really helped to get the full potential out of my amp and sub Pros: Sound quality and additional volume Cons: None really. It's another device to install but it's small.
lci Written By Anonymous, fort worth texas on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this product plus the optional bass remote on my Daughters new 2013 ford focus with my ford touch/sony hd/navigation radio with factory amp and factory sub in the trunk. I simply ran a power wire from the battery to the trunk where the alpine mrp500 was placed under the trunk mat. I used the the wires going into the factory sub for the input of the lci. No turn on wire required. Used the 12 volt off the alpine amp to power the lci. Boom turned on all the system and the two alpine twelves sound great. I did not even adjust the lci just used it how it came and turned the gain down to half on the amp which is powering two alpine type s shallow mounts. The bass knob on the dash made it great to turn it up when needed which is does need to be at all. Going to buy one for my new ford f150 Pros: Easy install and way to add amp to factory system Cons: none
Great Product Written By b386, Michigan on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently added a subwoofer and amplifiers to my factory receiver and have tried many line output converters including the pac models, but was less than impressed with the sound quality of these converters. I recently decided to try the Audiocontrol LC2i converter and was amazed at the improved sound quality! The extra dough for the audiocontrol LC2i is well worth it !
2011 F-150 Sony Factory Sub Replacement Written By Steve, NC on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Like many others, I don't normally write reviews on products purchased online. However, I rely heavily on these, so I thought it only fair that I write one that might help someone else. I purchased this to install in my F-150 Platinum in order to replace the Sony factory subwoofer and maintain the factory system. I used a JL 500/1 amp and 10" JL sub with an enclosure I built myself to place under the rear seat. I had already set up the amp installation with a local installer, but after deciding to purchase the LC2i (because the installer said he would need to use some sort of LOC) I thought maybe I could try this myself. 20 years ago I used to install car audio systems as a hobby, but a lot has changed with factory audio and the wiring has gotten a lot more complex. After researching some online forums I found that running the power from the battery to where I had the amp and LC2i mounted would be pretty easy. It wasn't until after I looked a little closer at the LC2i that I noticed it had the GTO feature. It took about an hour to run the power from the battery and get everything wired up (used both sets of DVC factory sub line inputs for signal), but once it was wired the LC2i worked like a champ. Using the GTO feature I avoided having to find a remote wire for the amp, and the LC2i picked up my incoming audio signal immediately. While I haven't finished tuning it, I can tell you that this is a MUST HAVE if you are installing a mono amp to replace your factory sub. Pros: Ease of installation and the GTO feature in place of a remote turn-on wire. Cons: None for me...this thing works exactly as designed
Small than it looks Written By Matthew, Santee, CA on Saturday, December 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ya know, my pet peeve is trying to hide these factory add on pieces just because you already have to find a place for the amp and wiring, but man this thing is tiny, it fit behind my wife's focus factory cd player no problem. Used wire taps (I know I know not the wisest choice, but they are holding strong) and the unit turns right on with the car. I went ahead and used the audio sensing feature but if it quits working I will tap into the switched 12v for the remote, but at the moment not necessary. The 9V max pre-outs are awesome, puts a super strong signal to your amp, I bared had to use the gain/trim. Great overall build and product, seems the company really stands behind their products. Didn't find any use for the accubass feature, I left all the dials in the middle and it worked out just fine, figured I would use the amp as my gain/trim....worked out just fine. Pros: Perfect for factory stereos, strong pre-outs Cons: None that I know of...so far
A must have for factory add-on Written By Anonymous, Granger,IN 46530 on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Spend the extra money and go with the LC2i. The audiophile quality is amazing! User friendly and easy to install. Pros: Easy to install and don't need to run a remote wire. Cons: None. Another great product from audiocontrol.
Awesome Sound Written By Dave, NJ on Thursday, November 08, 2012 This thing is awesome, read a prior review by someone with a WRX and got nervous because it wasn't a good review, but I think that user installed it wrong. In the wrx you need to tap the front speakers as the EQ pushes everything to the fronts. The sound vs using the high level inputs on a kenwood amp is night and day. Sounds like it should sound. Love the adjustability and it just sounds insane! Get this now.
Works perfectly Written By Johann, Elk Grove, CA on Saturday, November 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Audio Control LC2i works perfectly as advertised. My Mustang w/ Shaker 500 sounded good, but it lacked deeper bass. There are no Line-Outs on the head unit. The LC2i took a good audio signal from the door subwoofer outs and gave a strong signal to my new subwoofer amp in the trunk. The remote control for it works well too and it is easy to mount anywhere. Because the LC2i only draws 150mA, tapping for power was simple. A few caveats... the settings are a bit tricky to get right, but work well once you figure it out. The youtube video helps. A more detailed technical instruction sheet would have improved things. Lastly, the compact size made it a breeze for mounting. This LOC made adding an amplifier to my Shaker 500 a breeze and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their factory sound. A+ Product. Pros: Perfect design, flexible audio settings, compact, remote control accessory works well too. Not too expensive. Cons: Paltry instructions.
Audio Control LC2i - 2007 Range Rover Written By Ben L, Ann Arbor, MI on Friday, November 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this unit to be able to add an aftermarket amp and sub in my 2007 Range Rover (LM 322) with factory stereo/nav/logic 7 surround sound. The car came with a weak factory sub/amp so I removed the stock sub and tapped into the wiring from the stock amp, after the stock sub. I was told to keep the stock amp because of the way the Range Rover electronics work. So I took the wires from the stock sub and wired them to the LC2i +/- line inputs. What is nice about the LC2i is that it has Remote In, Remote Out, and a 12V+ terminals on it to be able to turn on/off the amp when turning on/off the car. You don't need a separate remote turn on. So I wired the 12V+ to a constant power source, and the Remote Out to my aftermarket amp, and both the LC2i and aftermarket amp only turn on when the car is is switched on. Since I don't have one of those factory radios that plateaus the bass levels as the volume increases, I just adjust the LC2i's settings accordingly. I turned the Bass Threshold knob all the way up (clockwise), and then the AccuBASS knob + Main level knob + Bass level knob all the way down (counter-clockwise). However, I had to search online forums and what not for proper adjustment settings because the LC2i didn't come with any detailed instructions based on the kind of stereo you had. It just explains what the GTO and AccuBASS are. Pros: Remote Turn-On Two Sets of Line-Outs for adding up to two amps Level Adjustments Size Cons: No detailed installation or sound adjustment instructions
Best thing since sliced bread! Written By Scott A, Paducah, KY on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm 38, and back when I was younger, I used to install alot of stereos for friends, etc. Things have come along way since then, and this product is definately one of the best things I've seen! Its simple to install, and the adjustments are very straight forward. Its really compact, and I love the fact that it automatically turns on when it senses a signal from the speakers inputs. It also has a remote out connection, so you can hook it to your amp, and it will turn the amp on and off automatically too when you turn your radio on and off. It makes putting amps, etc so simple when running along with factory radios, and speakers. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their factory system. Pros: compact design, auto on, off, and the ability to run a remote wire from it to your amp, and turn it on and off automatically too! The sound reproduction is excellent also. Cons: NONE
Audio Contro LCi Written By V, Phila on Monday, October 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Anything Audio Control is great. No problem with item. Works great. Need the remote for customization. Pros: Smooooth Cons: none
Works Perfectly! Written By Todd M, Jackson, MI on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome product and it works as advertised in my 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. Here's a quick run down of how I installed this to help everyone out there. The really nice thing about this product is that you only need to run one wire from the front of the car to the rear and that is the power cable for the amp. Then I grounded the amp to the tailight bolt. So once that was done I tapped into the rear speaker wires from each speaker + and -. Ran those to the LC2i. Then I ran a small power and ground from the amp to the LC2i. Hooked up the RCA cables from the amp to the LC2i and speaker wires to the sub and that was it! The really nice thing about this product is that there is no need for the remote wire, as the stereo signal to the rear speakers does this for you. Tip- adjust amp to lowest level then go from there tuning the LC2i and the amp to find the best sound. I recommend this product as it did everything that it advertised. Pros: Easy install No remote wire needed Made in USA Cons: Instructions could be better
Simply Fantastic Written By thisGirlhasBass, Washington State on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This thing works! I didn't want to buy a new head unit for my '08 Maxima because I have OEM Nav and that would leave me with a big blank screen and no display for many things. I also wanted my car to appear stock to anyone with thoughts of breaking in. My car came with Bose speakers, so we just added this LC2i, 0 gauge wiring, a JL fuse block, a stinger distribution block, 2 12" JL Audio W3's and a JL 500/1 amp to run them. I was skeptical, but am now very pleasantly surprised. Highs are loud and clear and obviously the bass pounds. Perfect set up for me! Pros: Everything Cons: Nothiny
Welcome to the 21st century Written By Jim, Erie, Pennsylvania on Saturday, September 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Old school equipment just didn't work like this. I installed this in a lincoln continental and pared it with a bridged kenwood kac-1502s amp with kenwood's 12 inch subwoofer in a tube and bam, blow your hat off bass, from a factory stereo. Pros: It just works very well providing installation is proper. Cons: None that I can think of.
Fixed 2011 Dodge Ram with Factory Radio Written By JasonK, Olathe, KS on Friday, September 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had an issue of a severe lack of bass from a subwoofer I installed to my factroy system in my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. The lack of bass was present when listening to Sirius Radio or mp3's. The cd player was ok. This little box fixed it! The bass is loud and proud. The rep I called at Crutchfield didn't think the LC2i would cure my problem. Let it be known, it cured it in a big way!! I would suggest this item for anyone needing a line out converter for integrating anything into a factory system! Pros: Awesome product that really works. Well worth the money!
Doesn't turn on, doesn't sound good once turned on Written By Steve H, Nashua, NH on Friday, September 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ugh, where do I begin. I reviewed this product on multiple sites including this one to find out it is the best solution out there for using your OEM head unit with an aftermarket amplifier. Well, I can't say I agree. This is going to be one of those one off reviews where people gloss over it because the majority of reviews are heaping praise on the product and people won't take it with a grain of salt but humor me and listen. I have a 2011 Subaru WRX and I'm keeping the factory head unit so I don't need to buy an aftermarket head unit, bluetooth and steering wheel adapter. Anywho, I tapped into the Right Rear speaker with a soldered connection for optimum connection and ran the wire to the LC2i. Ran the power cables from my capacitor to the unit, ran the remote wire from the unit to the amp (the amp is properly connected to the cap also), turned the car with the radio on, AANNDD nothing. The LC2i just sat there and slept. I played around with the jumper to make sure it was in the proper auto detect position, still nothing. I checked all the wiring again and again and still nothing. I resorted to running the remote wire from the accessory wire from behind the factory stereo to the LC2i and that turn the thing on, FINALLY. Phew. But the quality of the audio signal is less than ideal. The knobs to control the volume and quality didn't do anything and the overall volume was inconsistent, kept cutting out. Needless to say, I'm getting better quality going directly to the amp. Pros: The concept is great. Small and lightweight Cons: Everything. The auto turn on didn't work. Once I got it turned on, the volume was inconsistent and kept cutting out. Power terminals too close to each other which leads to risk in the wires crossing and arcing. The signal it processed was causing the sub to only hit and not be smooth.
GREAT PRODUCT!!! Written By Brian, Malone, NY on Friday, June 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just installed it in my 2012 Mustang and it sounds AMAZING. I have never used a stock deck with my systems, but with this LC2i I will keep it in my Stang! Looks factory and sounds GREAT. Plus with the GTO function, you don't have to run a remote turn-on wire. Pros: Simple install, LOVE the GTO function!
This is many help! Written By Jack, Pittsburgh on Sunday, June 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This device was many great! I very much enjoy the bass now. It provide many sub levels that were not able to be heard. My bass was very missing on certain frequencies and I could only listen to street bass and metal-house, but now I can listen to hip hop! Make sure you turn down your bass boost on amp the lc2i and the amp will fight the battle of the bass. Pros: Easy to install . Accubass is the chronic I got a new girlfriend because she loves to booty shake to my bass Cons: Didnt come with a second one that I could give to my installer as payment for his many great hours of work put into my car
Fantastic product! Written By Dan, Apple Valley, MN on Monday, April 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product works very well. I have an MK6 GTI with the 300W DynAudio stereo system. I added a sub and quickly discovered the OEM stereo rolled off the bass. I was able to tune the LC2i perfectly using a SPL meter and test tones, and I'm thrilled with how well it worked. No more constantly adjusting my sub volume, and it hits cleaner, harder, and deeper! Great product! Pros: Corrects bass defeat in OEM stereo systems for a great price. Cons: Not the best setup instructions, but was able to figure it out.
Works as advertised Written By Mike, Arlington, VA on Sunday, April 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It takes speaker level inputs and converts it to something useful for my amp. I'm using this in my Audi A6 w/B&O to add a large subwoofer to the system. The auto-on feature upon detection of signal from speakers works well on the standard speaker lines but it doesn't for *my* install which is off the subwoofer line. Not a big deal, just needed to hook up a 12v source to turn it on. I'm pleased with the product. Pros: -Works well -Handles the 'high' power from the premium system -Tunable bass compensation (nice touch for those who need it) Cons: The remote bass control really should have been included in the kit rather than a separate add-on. It's a telephone cable and (probably) a variable resistor. Can't dock a star for this though as it is not a part of the package.
Flawless! Written By Jose, Phoenix, AZ on Thursday, April 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Definitely worth the price. Works flawless in my 2012 Chevy Malibu. I love the way the stock stereo looks, but wanted that extra bass from a subwoofer setup. Couldnt be happier with the outcome.. Pros: Well built, sturdy Cons: none as of yet
Absolutely Outstanding! Written By Wade, Calgary, AB on Monday, April 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After being frustrated with numerous $20-$30 Line Output Converters, I finally coughed up the money for the AC LC2i. The price is more than reasonable for what the unit delivers. I LOVE that I can keep my factory head unit, steering wheel controls, nav, etc. The signal this thing sends to the amp is crystal clear. I used mine for a simple amp+sub install, and it sounds great! Stop wasting time with cheap LOC's. This thing is perfect. Pros: Small size, easy installation, works exactly as advertised. Cons: Nothing noted!
AudioControl LC2i Written By ev, cairo, ny on Monday, April 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I attempted to use this for the low level output. While it does slightly enhance the bass, not enough to justify the cost. Perhaps it would do better with the mid-range through high end. I will be returning this. Pros: ease of set up Cons: did not do what was expected
Awesome!!! Just awesome!!! Written By Goyo, APO on Monday, April 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The LC2i is probably the best investment I have made for my car. I have a 2003 Mercedes E320 and didnt want to remove the APS 50 radio that came with the car since it has navigation and I like the appareance. What I did is remove the original subwoofer in the rear deck of the car and hook up the LC2i from those cables and man does it do a good job. Everybody said that I couldnt install an after market radio because Mercedes uses fiber optic. Naaaahhh!!! With this little guy in my car, my car is loud!!! I also install dynamat in the license plate and there is absolutely no rattle just solid bass. I cant recommend the Audio control LC2i enough to anybody that wants to add amps to their car without removing the OEM radio. If youre installing an aftermarket amp in your mercedes completely remove the OEM sub to let the air go into the cabin and youre good to go also since the OEM sub is a dual voice coil you can use the second pair of cable to add a second amp to connect your door speaker if you want to change them. Awesome just awesome!!! Pros: easy install great voltage ouput for your sub accubass module for any OEM radio Cons: nothing at all!!
Works Great! Written By Chris C, NH on Sunday, April 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This worked great, sounds is great, easy to install! Pros: Price, sound quality, ease of install Cons: none
WOW!!! Written By jimmym1981, Chicago, IL on Sunday, April 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I hardly ever leave reviews on products, but I felt like I have to for this one. I have been a big car stereo enthusiast forever and always add subs to my cars. Normally I do aftermarket equipment but I like my factor radio and wanted to add some bass to my '12 VW CC. I originally purchased a top of the line PAC converter hoping to get some good sound from my radio. After installation and tuning, it sounded decent, but very muddy and distorted when I turned it up. I delt with it for a while until I heard my buddy's aftermarket stereo and subs he just installed. I knew that there was some way to get my factory stereo to sound like his. I did a lot of research and ran across AudioControl's LC2i. With all the positive reviews and low price I decided to give it a shot. I ripped out my PAC with a smile on my face hoping to improve my sound. After I ran all my wires, hooked up the LC2i,I turned on the receiver and the light on the LC2i turned on. As soon as that first bass note came out of my subs, a huge smile appeared on my face. I couldn't believe how incredible it sounded before I even tuned it. I followed the instructions included with the LOC, and the sound that is coming from my car is unbelievable. Anyone who is installing an aftermarket amp and sub with a factory radio, don't waste your money on anything else to get an RCA out. BUY THIS product and you will not regret it. Words cant express how awesome it works. Great job AudioControl! Pros: Best sound quality I have ever had with a factory radio Price is great for what you get American made Installation was simple Still baffled how good this product is! Cons: Not a single thing
It does what it says. Written By SS Teacher, Plant City Fl on Friday, March 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sometimes the highest praise is...it does what it says it will do. My JL 12W0 was not gaining volume like the front speakers and this wonderful machine gave me the bass I knew I should be getting from my Challenger. They shipped it without plugs and that annoyed me so I called Crutchfield and they had plugs in the mail the next morning. I emailed Audio Control and a real live human being called to apologize. I might have preferred it if no mistakes were made, but I got great customer service from both companies. I look forward to adding an Audio Control EQ over the summer. Pros: It gave my amp a great signal for the highs and fixed the factory limiting low signals.
Absolutely fantastic! Written By Steelersfan, MS on Friday, February 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) An advisor told me I'd need one of these if I wanted to keep my factory radio in my car. So I took it to the audio dealer and they hooked it up. They mounted it right behind my backseat, very convenient and accessible. Didn't even need to place it behind the stereo. When I crank this bad baby up, my subs just let loose! Another great product from Crutchfield!

Road shaker! Written By Steve H., Saxton, PA on Monday, January 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Read all other reviews and was a little skeptical, but with 5 stars, they cant all be wrong. Simple to hook up, just tapped off of bass wires on the rear deck speakers, ran power to amp feed and mounted under rear deck, done! Wow, what a difference! Like other reviewer, had to cut bass setting on factory deck. My bass would drop out at number 15 on the head unit,adjusted the threshold at number 15. Difference of nite and day! Bass was still a little strong, so I fine tuned the accu-bass and gain controll. I was going to replace the head,but was debating cause I would lose control panel display. But Now I have all the bass I need and more! Thanks again Crutchfield for another great product.
AudioControl LC2i Written By Tony G, Vineland,NJ on Monday, January 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) works like a champ
Way to go USA! Written By JonM, Denver Colorado on Thursday, December 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I put this in my 2010 Toyota Tundra. The only problem I had was that I got my left channel out of phase (swapped the high level inputs plus and minus) oops. The subwoofer was muddled and wappy. After a quick call to tech support we got it fixed and BOOM! Tight,crisp, deep bass from a factory stereo. (I am running a 13 inch subwoofer with a 350W RMS amp) What a difference. The bass adjustments are extremely effective and the entire unit seems to do its job very well. The amp GTO signal sensing turn on unit works flawlessly as well. The LC2i is an excellent product. Pros: Excellent product that will put the Bump into your factory system.
A MUST HAVE Written By Derick, Dallas, TX on Friday, November 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I hooked this up to my '09 Challeneger SRT. I installed the JL W3 and sent it back because I thought it was the speaker. I then order the Rockford Fosgate P2 sub, SO ported box, and and this mean machine to go with it. It is the difference between night and day. I promise you will WANT this if you're installing an amp to your factory stereo. GREAT PRODUCT!!! Pros: N/A Cons: N/A
Spectacular Written By Ryan, Vancouver, Wa on Thursday, November 03, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the LC2i to replace another bass restoration device while adding a full system to my car with the OEM head unit. The LC2i adds back all the bass that the OEM head unit strips out, gives a nice high voltage output to run to my amps and provides a remote turn on line by sensing power to the speaker-level inputs. The LC2i is very clean, no audible distortion added to the signal, unlike the device it replaced... I cant say enough good things about this device. The noise floor is finally low enough that there is dead-silence between tracks. Installation was a breeze, power ground, speaker signal inputs and RCA and remote turn on outputs. Setup once installed took 5, maybe 10 minutes at the most and half of that time was playing with the device to see what it could do. I was skeptical at first, as I suspect most people will be, but I am living/driving proof that this device is everything its advertised to be, and I couldnt be happier. Its worth every penny. Pros: Quick and easy setup powerful RCA outputs very clean (no noise added inline) small footprint Cons: Nothing
Magic Box! Written By GregT, New Jersey on Thursday, October 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) To all the folks who say buy the cheapest line output converter I say fooyee... I bought myself an AudioControl LC2i as seen in the link below. This thing brought my sub to life! Before I had a cheap LOC and my sub made strange noises and sounded terrible... now, it could have been a bad LOC, but this thing is awesome! I am not a sales person, nor am I affiliated with Crutchfield... just someone who tried a product and wanted to share how awesome my experience has been! I got mine from the scratch and dent section and it looks and works like new... anyway I hope this helps someone
Awesome! Written By Bryan, Maryland on Sunday, September 25, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is by far the best interface to use if you are just adding a subwoofer to your factory stereo. The stereo in our 2011 VW was already very nice sounding, just needed some sub bass. Added this in addition to a JL amp and Stealthbox and the sound is unbelievable. The bass doesn't roll off like a standard line interface would at high volumes. A++++
Wow Written By Anthony, Pittsburgh, pa on Monday, September 19, 2011 This L.O.C. is great, i was previously using another loc, in my 2011 forester, and the stereo i built didnt sound much better than the stock stereo in my subaru. i had the loc ran into and equalizer, and still the bass was muddled and flabby, the highs were inconsistend and the mids were just awful, so i bouth the lc2i and what i difference it made. i took this stereo out of the last car i had, and put it in my subaru, the only difference is that i am not using an aftermarket head unit, and this loc sounds better than the exact same system with the aftermaket head unit. The only reason i didnt give this 5 starts is that i am only using the main outputs to run into my equalizer, and you loose some of the bass control with the unit when you do that. but if you are not using an equalizer, this things is perfect, its made in the usa, and its only this much, you cant beat that.
Finally Satisfied! Written By Gumbo King, Conroe, TX on Thursday, September 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ok, I went through three Maxxsonics MX-1's. After that, I was temporarily using a ten dollar LOC converter. Then, I decided to try a name brand LOC. It was the same result as the ten dollar one. So, next I decided to read up on the LC2i and thought that I would give it a try. Immediately it made a difference, but I had a little trouble tuning it. The Accubass function is a little challenging without a test speaker or an osscillascope. So I brought it to a local audio shop to have them tune it. Wow! My sub hits so hard and so clean now. Thank you Audio Control, Crutchfield, and Lakeside Audio.
GREAT OEM integration device! Written By RJ, Houston,Tx on Sunday, August 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this product because my new JL 500/1v2 amp could not sense the high speaker level inputs to turn the amp on, but it worked on my other JL 250/1 amp. I have an 08 Chevy Avalanche with Bose and wanted to keep the factory look so I spliced into the sub speaker level outputs of the factory amp and ran them to my JL 250/1 amp. Worked flawlessly, but after upgrading to the 500/1v2 it would not turn the amp on using the signal sensing.(factory Bose amp only sends lows to sub...both manuals state that the high inputs need to be full range in order for signal sensing to work. Not sure why it worked on the 250/1 and not the 500/1) So, I needed to find a remote 12v source but came across this product with it's high level inputs , high voltage outputs, signal sensing with remote turn on and decided to give it a try. My only concern was that this product was not going to sense the sub inputs and not power up without a remote in. Well I hooked it up to my factory sub outputs and problem SOLVED! It powered up the unit which also sent power to the remote output (GTO) to power my JL and it works perfectly. All I need to do is fine tune the LC2i and my amp. Very happy, YEAH BOY!
This is the one to get Written By PeterLemonjello, Orlando on Sunday, July 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've never reviewed anything on the internet, but I wanted to say that I have recent experience w/ both the Scosche LOC80 and this product. I first bought the Scosche because it was $20 and I didn't think there would be a huge difference. I had it professionally installed (along with some other gear) and my system sounded like absolute hot garbage. There was only muddled flat bass. Nothing that punched me in the back or rattled my rear view mirror. I was adding a JL Audio 10" sub and a 2 channel 250-watt amp. I knew the potential for the system to be much better. After listening to my system for a few months (all the while trying to figure out what I could do to make it sound better) I researched this product and finally broke down and bought it. I just finished installation of it (fyi, it does need it's own constant power cable, ground and lead...which i borrowed from the amp connections) and it sounds AWESOME. I used to have my stock head unit on +5 on the bass (out of 6) with the Scoshe and now I have it set to 0 and it absolutely thumps. I'm going to tweak it a bit more but I didn't want to disturb my neighbors in our quiet neighborhood. Trust this post and remember that sometimes you do get what you pay for. $20 vs this price is a lot, but I feel is completely worth it.
Amazing product. Written By Nic, Plantation, FL on Thursday, June 09, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Heard about this product on Hyundai Forums and purchased one for my Sonata GLS. I installed the sub and amp from my previous vehicle and expected a similar sound. I was astounded to find out that I had not even come close to the full potential of my sub and amplifier until I HAD to get a line output converter. Do your research on line output converters and you'll find some from 15 dollars to 500. The LC2i is super economical for the results. It is worth every penny. If you have a sub and amp direct plugged into RCA outputs from your head unit, UNPLUG IT, buy the LC2i, and run the audio to your sub with this instead. I still cannot believe the results.
OEM Intergration at its finest! Written By RayB, Jackson, TN on Friday, February 18, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When looking at putting subs in my 2006 Chevy Impala LT, I wanted to go with an aftermarket cd player. However, GM vehicles have these weird harnesses and not to mention that I have steering wheel controls too. Therefore, I researched line out converters. I chose Crutchfield because the price was the best :) I bought this one and was highly skeptical about the whole factory radio and subs. I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised by this product. It sounds great in my car alongside my 2 12" Memphis PR subs and 1000 watt amp. I also bought a wired remote (from eBay) for tweaking when a mp3 has too much or not enough bass for my liking. Installation seemed simple... I didn't install it but I observed the process. If you are going to keep your aftermarket radio, I would definitely recommend this product. You won't be disappointed.
OEM INTEGRATION HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER Written By David A., Illinois on Friday, December 03, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have held off on a system upgrade in my 2011 Mustang GT since it was purchased four months ago. I decided to make the move once I read reviews on the AC LC2i ALOC. I received it from Crutchfield in two days and had wired up the amp kit in advance so it was literally plug and play. Two Boston G3 12" subs in a custom enclosure and an Alpine digital amp, a 1.2 farad cap, and this little guy pushing super clean signal and it is amazing. I am using the pass through channel to feed a second digital Alpine powering a set of 1" tweeters mounted in the sail panel. What an easy install and the end product is phenomenal!!! The Shaker 500 has come alive and it sounds like thousands of $$$ has been poured into this system. The Accubase feature is flawless, the incorporated line driver is maximizing my amp's potential, and the augment of much need bass and high-end support has turned my system into an audiophile's dream! The Crutchfield team was awesome - as always!

You're in for a tough start. My condolences :P
The open source driver doesn't support HD5000 series GPUs. You might have problems with the proprietary driver too. For some people it works, for some it doesn't.This is my first ATI card (i got tired of the NVIDIA rebranding thing) so i'm kind of new to this world. I have some questions.
-which driver should I use for my card? The proprietary or the open source?
Latest Catalyst should work. There are some people however that report it doesn't work with their cards. If that happens to you, you're out of luck and will need to use the generic SVGA driver.-Is there support for my card already or I'll have to wait before installing linux on my notebook?
The card is a hammer for Windows. Unfortunately, it's pure suckage for Linux. This also includes older cards, not just the HD5000 series. Common problems are driver instability, lack of VSync in composited desktops (like Compiz and kwin4), Xv support is crap (tearing and wrong colors), 2D is very slow (your desktop will not seem "smooth" but will lag and be jerky), no video acceleration for MPEG-4 videos... There are more and you're about to find out-What do you think about the card? Is it a good choice (I will use this notebook mainly for games on windows, but I would like to have a small working linux partition on it)

Latest Casio EXILIM gets indoor geotagging
Article Summary
The geotagging capabilities of modern cameras means photographers no longer have to go through the boring task of jotting down the location of a picture on the back of photos. Unfortunately, interference when taking pictures indoors or even outside amongst a forest of skyscrapers can render the geotagging feature inoperative. The latest model to join Casio's EXILIM Hi-Zoom lineup, the EX-H20G, overcomes this problem by using a Hybrid GPS system that combines GPS with a three-way accelerometer and direction sensor to track a user's last known satellite-acquired position against map data stored in the camera's memory. It then checks every 10 minutes until it can reconnect to a satellite signal.

Doug Kingsmore Stadium
Thomas F. Chapman Grandstand Photo Galleries: Grandstand | Formal Dedication
Directions | Seating Chart & Parking Map | Doug Kingsmore | Thomas F. Chapman
Doug Kingsmore Stadium, the home of Tiger baseball since 1970, has seen many changes and improvements over the years, but it has not lost its aesthetic beauty and unique feel on the west side of the Clemson University campus.
Clemson was No. 9 in the country in average attendance (4,379) in 2014. It marked the Tigers' 21st straight top-20 finish and 13th season in a row in the top 10 in the nation. Thanks in large part to that fan support, CollegeBaseballDaily.com rated Doug Kingsmore Stadium as the No. 7 stadium in the nation in 2013.
This outstanding fan support from the Clemson community and the Upstate of South Carolina has contributed to the Tigers' outstanding home-field record. Clemson has played at Doug Kingsmore Stadium for 45 years and has a winning percentage of over 79 percent. That includes a 362-107 record (.772) in ACC regular-season contests.
The Tigers have had a winning record in all 45 seasons at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Clemson is 589-167 (.779) at Doug Kingsmore Stadium during Jack Leggett's 21 years as head coach of the Tigers.
Nine times during the 1994 season, an opposing top-20 team tasted defeat at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, and four times a team ranked in the top three lost to the Tigers. Seven wins against top-20 teams, including three victories over a top-10 Florida State squad, were recorded at home in the 1996 season.
In 2000, the Tigers had an 8-3 record against top-25 foes at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. After Clemson won three games against No. 2 Florida State, Head Coach Mike Martin opined on how tough it is to play at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
"If you had told me in 1992 that we were going to go to a place where we'd be 2-13 over the next eight years, I would have gone to the administration and suggested we join another conference," Martin told the Tallahassee Democrat. "Clemson is a very tough place to play...the toughest place to play of any place I've ever competed in all my years of college baseball. The good news is it's 727 days before we have to go back to Clemson."
Martin echoed those sentiments 12 years later after his top-ranked Seminoles salvaged the series with their only win in the series in the finale at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in 2012.
"That was one of the biggest wins of the year for us. I don't care what anyone says...this is the toughest place that I have had to play a baseball game in all of my years of coaching."
Doug Kingsmore Stadium has seen steady improvement since its first season in 1970 and is now one of the top facilities in the country. Evidence of its high rating among facilities across the nation has been demonstrated in recent years, when Doug Kingsmore Stadium was named as a site for a regional and/or a super regional in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The renovations began during the summer of 2002, which has kept Clemson's ballpark among the country's best. The stadium has a brick façade that surrounds every entrance. A green roof that covers much more of the stands and a press box that is twice as large adds to the comfort of fans attending the game and the media covering it. The press box, which is accessible by elevator, includes four large booths for broadcasting and a separate media center that accommodates 18 writers.
There is also a patio area outside the press box that is above the existing stands along the first and third-base lines. The area is used for receptions and other events.
Two ticket booths, concession stands with an adjoining picnic area and enlarged restrooms make the facility easily accessible and fan-friendly. A grand stairway leading from the McFadden Building parking lot to the stadium's main entrance is an added feature from a convenience and aesthetic aspect.
The players also realize improvements, as four batting cages were constructed beyond the right-field fence. The dugouts were almost doubled in length and width.
Prior to the 2005 season, PawVision, the videoboard that was used in the football stadium, was moved to Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Prior to the 2008 season, new lights were installed, then a practice facility with field turf was built behind the batting cages in 2009. Additional chairback seats were also added behind the right-field fence.
Prior to the 2010 season, the Thomas F. Chapman Grandstands were constructed behind the left-field fence, adding 1,000 seats. Chapman, who was a two-time All-ACC pitcher at Clemson (1963-65), gave $2 million to the University, $1 million of which went to the grandstands.
Before the 2013 season, chairback seats were added in the main grandstand, replacing the bleacher seats. The videoboard was upgraded as well. After the 2013 season, the playing surfaced was re-leveled and an upgraded drainage system was installed. Home plate was also moved out 10 feet, creating more space behind home plate and shorter distances to the outfield fence.
In 2015, the stadium continued with upgrades, including a new three-story building behind the first-base dugout. It will house a state-of-the-art clubhouse, coaches offices and a player lounge among other amentities. Premium seating was also added behind home plate.
Doug Kingsmore Stadium is equipped with a "Super-Sopper," which cuts down on rainouts. Clemson is one of a few schools in the nation with this machine that removes water from the field.
The stadium is located in the middle of Clemson's athletic facilities. It is across the street from Littlejohn Coliseum, home of Tiger basketball, and Memorial Stadium, home of Clemson football. It is located directly behind Jervey Athletic Center, home of the baseball offices.
Doug Kingsmore Stadium has over 4,500 permanent seats, but is capable of holding 6,272 fans thanks to a hill area down the left-field line that is popular with the Clemson student-body. The stadium attendance record was set on March 7, 2004 when 6,480 fans saw No. 5 South Carolina defeat the Tigers 8-7 in 10 innings.
The park also features a terrace in the outfield adjacent to the fence, similar to the old Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio, which ironically was torn down the year Doug Kingsmore Stadium was built. The late Bill Wilhelm, Clemson's longtime coach who was the skipper when the field was built, liked the look and practicality of a field with grass all the way around the outfield instead of gravel or dirt.
Former MLB catcher Jason Varitek, who played at Georgia Tech in the 1990s, said Doug Kingsmore Stadium was his favorite venue to play at. "They had rowdy fans. And the fans are right on the action. They were closer to the on-deck circle than we were."
Former Clemson baseball star and Board of Trustees Emeritus Doug Kingsmore gave the athletic department a $1 million gift towards renovation of Clemson's baseball stadium, formerly known as Tiger Field. During the 2002 and 2003 offseasons, Doug Kingsmore Stadium underwent radical renovations, as over $5 million was spent. Since then, many other renovations have been performed to keep Doug Kingsmore Stadium among the best in the country.
Kingsmore played for the Tigers for three seasons (1952-54). An All-ACC and All-District III outfielder in 1954, he became the first Tiger in history to hit 10 home runs in a season. He did that in 1954 while playing just 24 games. He led the ACC in home runs and runs (25) that year, and he led the Tigers in batting average (.371), slugging percentage (.742) and RBIs (27).
Kingsmore played three years of professional baseball in the Baltimore Oriole organization before beginning a successful business career. He served three terms on the Clemson University Board of Trustees and became Trustee Emeritus when his elected term expired in 2002.
Atlanta resident Thomas F. Chapman, retired chairman and CEO of Equifax, Inc., gave Clemson University $2 million to form a leadership program in the College of Business & Behavioral Science and to expand and enhance Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
One-million dollars of the gift supports the Thomas F. Chapman Leadership Scholars Program and $1 million was used to build the Thomas F. Chapman Grandstands, adding 1,000 seats to Clemson's baseball stadium.
As a student-athlete, Chapman received an IPTAY scholarship that funded his Clemson education. "I believe in paying back what is given to you," he said. "My athletic scholarship provided me an outstanding college experience and a future career in professional baseball upon graduation, as well as a quality education."
Chapman graduated from Clemson with an economics degree in 1965. While at Clemson, he was a two-time All-ACC pitcher, including a first-team selection in 1965 when he led the ACC in strikeouts (100). In his three years in a Tiger uniform, he had a 12-7 record and 3.12 ERA.
Upon graduation, he became the first Tiger to be selected in the Major League draft when he was taken by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1965. He played professional baseball until April of 1968, when he was called to active military service.
