Ive got this exact same set up and 1 8" sub in a ported box, this converter does wonders in my 2012 Kia sorento!! The clarity of this unit, makes my 8" sound a lot larger than what it is!! I love it!!

yeah so this is awesome, and something i will never undertake myself. great job!

Awesome instructional, very thorough. I added an amp & LC2i Pro with relative ease thanks to this vid!

I think they meant remote wire for the Amp

Great vid but u should of ran a separate power cable and fuze for the lc2i and upgrade them rca 10/10❤

I'm trying to tap in from the back speakers which wires do I tap into

Does the factory radio "see" that LOC as an additional 4 ohm load being wired in parallel to the existing 4 ohm speakers and putting a 2 ohm load on the factory radio?

Does the LC2i provide more power for the front and rear speakers the way you have it hooked up in this video? In this video you have just a subwoofer hooked up, but you tapped into the front and rear speakers behind the radio? It seems like you should’ve tapped into the subwoofer output. Can you also tap into the rear right and left speaker door factory wires to the LC2i, And then power your subwoofer? Also, by adding a amplifier to the LC2i from the front and rear speakers and then by adding an amp, you’re increasing the power to the front and rear speakers?

Is there any way to use the line outs behind the rear speakers instead of having the remove the entire fascia?

Can the AMP+ be connected to an amps remote line? Will that workm

GLI owners should use extra caution as to not harm their ambient lighting. Also, now that I see how easy the seat is to pull, I'm going to move my ground to the seat belt bolt. Thank you!

Gotta also bring a remote power from the radio, so the amp turns on when the radio turns on.

Then intall a switch somewhere and remember to turn the switch of when its not running because it will drain your battery.

On a 2021 jetta I have an lc7i with front and rear speakers tapped to keep the fader functional. Unfortunately one set of speakers that were tapped don’t appear to be getting the full signal and it sounds almost muffled or lacking. I just kept one signal on and disabled the fader on the kicker amp. I checked all channels of the amp and of the lc7i. The issue was recreated when swapping the speaker wire taps into the lc7i. Is there a bad or treble attenuation to the rear speakers?

@josephrabant7432

Did u try taking the top off of the lc7i and move the channel 2 "jumper switch" to "sum"? This way if there is bass/treb roll off on Chan 2 yet Chan 1 is good, this will equal Chan 2 out by summing the full signal to Chan 2. Not saying that's the answer but worth a shot

It helps with bass rolloff, and if you have a factory amplified sound system (like the fender audio), it can take a higher power amplified signal input than most line out converters. If you don't have a factory amp, and don't care for any signal correction, any line out converter can do.
