6 Channel Line Out Converter

Audiocontrol is a name I've always looked too since using their products in many vehicles due to being in the car audio business and having great success. The device promised extremely strong clean signal without the need for a line driver. I gave it a shot and figured I could just order a matrix if need be. This was installed in my infiniti g37(non bose).The Results were AMAZING. Gains on the amps left at practically nil, loud clear signal, the sound without the eq sounded magnificent and didn't need to be cleaned up much at all. The gto feature senses the signal output from the head unit and switches on your other amps using a 1 AMP! remote turn on lead. If you are an audiophile there is no other loc series you should be looking at. DO NOT EVER MESS WITH PASSIVE LOC's. Spend just a few extra dollars and you can get a quality piece of hardware where you wont have the crank the hell out of your gains. Starting with a good clean signal is priority if you want desirable results.The Lc6i is connected to my rockford sixty.3 and while that has is own oem integration this was working just fine an providing clean powerful signal so why change whats working.Note if you have a significant amount of amp's as I do, do not use the remote turn on lead to try and power on everything. Use the remote to trigger a relay, and then connect the amps to the power provided by the relay. I shouldn't have to mention this but please fuse the relay. You can all use this relay to turn on other things like lights and other processors.Look at what you needs are they make several different channel configurations for this device. lc2 lc4 lc6 lc7(aux channel) lc8. If your car has a standard deck head unit or they make a kit get rid of the stock head unitand get a decent head unit and start from there. In that case you wont need any of the lc devices. this is where a nice audiocontrol matrix or sound processor would come into play. If your have a car where there is factory navigation,bluetooth, steeering wheel controls, in my car the damn climate control is displayed through there is integrated ipod adaptor and there are lots of features built into the stock head unit that's where these LC devices come into play. they allow your to retain all those stock features and do custom sound.Audiocontrol does it AGAIN!!!

This one did exactly as billed. I recently bought a used 2007 Prius for use as a commuter, but was really disappointed in the stereo so decided to do some upgrades, which got a bit carried away. In the end, I ran the outputs from my 2007 Prius' amp into this unit, combining the upper and lower range outputs of the front channel into a single output from the LC6i, with the full signal of the rear channel passing through to the third channel output of the LC6i (the second channel is open in this configuration). From there, it runs through a Kenwood Kac-8405 amp to four Infinity Reference 6030cs speakers in the original factory locations and it sounds great while maintaining all the functionality of the factory headunit. I'm also running an Infinity Basslink Subwoofer (spliced into the rear speaker outputs of the factory amp) before the LC6i and the sound is just outstanding and nothing looks any different inside the car. Couldn't have done it without this unit. Funny, though, I haven't bought a car stereo since I was in college, and kind of did this for fun; being that I'm now old, my sons tease me that now I can rock talk radio like nobody's business!

This clearly works as described and lets you keep your factory headunit. I hooked mine up to my 2013 fiat 500 abarth and love the clarity this puts out to the amp I am running. My only gripe is that if you have a new D-class amp like I do don't worry about using the remote power from the LC6i. The LC6i doesn't turn off the remote fast enough to match the new D-class speed at turning off itself and you will hear a pop in the speakers. If you run a remote from the fuse box to both the LC6i and your amp instead you will not have to worry about the RCAs still having power when your new D-class turns off fast like they do. Otherwise you will notice that using the remote out to a D-class that the LC6i doesn't play well. Besides that remote issue this is item was perfect for my need.

This converter went into a 2003 Ford Ranger, the system was the factory in-dash cd player/tuner. The system is internally wired for tweeter/mid/some bass to the front, and bass/low mids for the rear only, not sure what the crossover point is. After research, this piece fit the bill. I already had an Audio Control HPX high definition expander, now 11 years old, and working great. I couldn't see my system without it, LOVE the expansion feature. The Summing feature if the LC6i was exactly what I needed to connect the rest of the components I had from my last car, a '92 Camaro. I had to construct a sealed enclosure, best for sound quality for my JL Audio 10W3V4, 3 weeks to complete, internally wired with silver wire, acoustastuffed, gold terminals. The box fits behind the seats, elongated for the right internal volume for the sub. NO cutting was done on the inside, only one hole for the amp wire. The front speakers are Boston Acoustics (5X7), don't remember the model #, but they retailed for $269. Everything is powered by a JL Audio 300/4, wired with a combination of Silver plated copper/Kimber Kable Hero interconnects, silver sub wire, and Audio Quest front speaker wiring. If anyone tells anyone that wiring doesn't matter, they need some education, or side-by-side comparisons. The clarity and detail I got from the system gave me goosebumps. Once the gains are set, the sound is phenomenal. I have 27 years setting up/installing home and car audio systems, own or have owned NAD, Paradigm, Nakamichi, Rega, Kimber Kable, Yamaha, JBL, etc over the years, even used a reel to reel in the late 80's. This Audio Control LC6i is worth every penny, takes a little patience setting the gains, but well worth the effort. Gets my BUY recommendation
