  • Solid LOC with some cool, flexible features/controls
Great line out converter for anyone putting together a serious car audio system that intend to retain their stock radio. I used this for my Ford F-150 and just tucked it under the rear seat compartment. It handles my Pioneer D-Series 6x9 component speakers and my Pioneer 6.5 A-Series 4-way speakers which run a total of 380 watts RMS. Very clean sound with some interesting adjustments that can be made if you pull the faceplate off and play with the board inside. You can adjust grounding settings, which channels you use (and you can combine channels if you’d prefer) and control whether you want dedicated subwoofer channels or not. For the price I wish it came with EQ controls (or perhaps make the exact same unit with a 7+ band EQ component for an extra $30 or so). It would be nice to have that extra control in one unit as I’ll have to add a separate unit right now for more money and use up more space. But I get to keep my Ford SYNC 3 head unit and all that connects to it and that’s a decent deal. Right now I just have a 4-channel speaker system setup on it but intend to add some subs down the line for my underneath second row spot. What’s really cool is you don’t NEED to use the remote in or out connections if you have power coming into the speaker level inputs as it’ll detect the power and turn on automatically. It’s a cool device for ppl wanting to do some more nuanced installs with aftermarket amps and keep that low end that topically rolls off when you turn up the volume. ... show more

  • From factory 2 channel, to pre-amp 3 channel.
I have purchased a new car, 2017 Hyundai Sonata which has a very nice integrated 6 or 7" in dash navigation / backup camera screen. I felt I wanted to integrate into this head unit, instead of my typical remove and replace scenario. I am so glad I found Audio Control. I have read mini-truckin' magazine in the past, as well as other car audio mags, and I recall all the accolades given to this company and their products. The component LC7i works as advertised, and provides professional, high voltage inter-connection into my system. I didn't have factory amplifier, so I feed a JL Audio 750/5 (300 watt sub / 75 watt per corner RMS). This setup is wonderful, and the adjustment for each channel, and a clipping indicator on the unit is a great selling point. IF you feel you want amplification within an Audio Control unit, they have one as well. What this unit is great for is integrating a factory dash unit and all it's capabilities, and boosting pre-amp signals to an amp for louder, cleaner music both interiors as well as a sub, so from 2 channel factory outputs to 3 channels output to amps. My JL amplifier has 5 channels, but this LC7i could drive both a sub amp, and a interior mid-range amp at the same time. I recommend this highly for anyone seeking a mid-powered (not ground shaking bass or window shattering highs) system that will play clean and fairly loud). ... show more

  • A definite upgrade in sound quality.
I wanted to upgrade my car audio system but keep the stock head unit. My problem arose with the previous line converter that I replaced this AudioControl with. The Soundstream would turn on every time I opened the door or trunk, I think because the audio system would send a door chime to the speakers, thus the auto turn on function would turn on. This would give me many nuisance turn ons, which no doubt is hard on the car battery, which I replaced after 3 1/2 years. Enter the AudioControl LC7i. It is very flexible, having two or three internal busses that you take the cover plate off to access. It was easy to install, easy enough to connect, and I opted to turn it on with the 12 volt signal trigger instead of the audio sensing turn on. It has a 12 volt trigger output as well, which I connected my Rockford amp with. Now it only turns on when the head unit turns on at the start up of the car. Simple and direct. This unit is more expensive than the Soundstream, but I have to say, the audio quality is easily superior, and I wasn't expecting that. I'm really happy with the results, all around. It's a no brainer, just like the Rockford amps. The only thing I haven't done is employ a sub, so I can't comment on its performance with that, but if the audio quality is any indicator, it'll be fine as AudioControl has a great rep. ... show more

  • AudioControl is the answer!!!
This is an EXCELLENT LOC!!! If you have a stock stereo that can't be removed because of your stock configuration, this gadget will allow you to add amps to your stereo & allow you to upgrade your speakers & subwoofers to something more suited towards your listening pleasure. My 12-year old Infiniti came equipped with the Bose 14-speaker system, and it started showing its age. After getting quoted over $1100 at a local stereo shop to add some high-tech, programmable LOCs/sound processors to my stereo, INCLUDING charging me to install MY OWN AMPS, I decided to do it myself. Was it difficult? No. I've installed the last 4 audio upgrades to my car by myself. Was it hard work? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely!!! Now I have a 6-speaker system that's far superior to the Bose system. Sure, I don't have all the bells & whistles of the system the stereo shop wanted to install for me, but do I need all that in a 12-year-old car? I don't think so. My car sounds great for a fraction of what they wanted me to spend, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that when people compliment me on how good my car sounds, I can tell them that I did it myself, and it's all thanks to AudioControl! Couldn't have done it without you!!! ... show more

  • A great product, added it to my OEM head unit ...
A great product, added it to my OEM head unit which I couldn't do away with as it controls lots of other things in the car. I previously had some good quality line out converters, these fed into a Pioneer GM-8604 (100wrms x4) which feed Alpine Type R components in the front and Type R coxials in the rear doors. There's a 8" sub in the rear parcel tray (all sound proofed) runs off the factory amp, it is a 150rms @4 ohm factory unit which I replaced with the Kenwood shallow mount 8". Anyway one of my key aims was to get more volume from my door speakers and tweeters, I'd bought the speakers and amp and had always felt they didn't go anywhere near as loud as what I'd hoped for. During my research one key attraction to the LC7i is that the output voltage is substantially improved over what comes out of the regular line out converters, so this means there's a really clean grunty signal to feed into my amp, end result my amp gains are turned right down to just about the minimum(so great for achieving less distortion) yet the system is now loud and crystal clear. The only slight let down is that the instructions that come with the LC7i are a bit basic,hence my rating of 4 stars rather than 5, the instructions could do with more detail for the skilled DIYer like myself, for example it would have been helpful to have more detail around performing the 'line level matching', the online video on Audio Control's website for this process is not for an LC7i, the principals are similar but it took me a fair amount of playing around to figure it out - simple once I knew but could have so easily been covered properly in the instructions which would have saved me a lot of time. There could also be more detail around the purpose of the internal jumpers - I'm still undecided if I've got these set correctly, some jumpers I'm clear on, others I'm not. The accubas is a big improvement over stock line converters, I'd soundproofed my doors a while back and while midbass improved it still wasn't what I'd hoped for - but the LC7i has sorted the bass rolloff, there is now good solid midbass present. At this stage I haven't got my sub going through the LC7i but plan to - out of curiousity I disconnected my rear door speakers from my amp and then run a bridged cable to my sub - wow what a massive improvement both in terms of bass and loudness, so guess I'll now be bypassing the factory sub amp and getting a new amp so I can properly utilise the third channel output from the LC7i which is dedicated to a sub. ... show more

  • Great product, but speakers were popping, I figured it out and heres how.
I have this installed in my 2017 ram along with an LC2i because the truck has a seperate sub woofer line out. if your don't have a seperate line out for subs than this LOC is the only one you need. I was haveing horrible speaker pop when turning on the system and even louder when turning it off. I would get a pop from the door speakers than another pop from the sub. I tried everything to fix this issue, I called Audio Control several times and looked at their web site for guidence on how to fix the popping. It took an engineer buddy of mine to help me figure it out so I thought I would share this info with you because I know how annoying it is. So....to fix the popping; I used a remote wire to a cigarette lighter that turns on and off with the stereo, I ran that remote wire to the LC7i remote in and jumped it to the LC2i remote in ( once you do this you will have to bypass the GTO settings by removing the cover of the 7i to switch the GTO to off and switch the 2i jumber on the side, to bypas). I did not use the remote out on either LCs but rather straight from the remote in terminal to the amps remote signal port. the trick is to get every thing to turn on and off at the same time, this method achieves that. Hope this helps. ... show more

  • Use to having a better radio, needless to say the stock one blew
I have to write a review. I have a '15 Tacoma double cab. Use to having a better radio, needless to say the stock one blew. I wanted to keep the stock head unit. I put 2 new JBL 6x9's in front and 2 new JBL 6.5's in the back. Mild improvement. Hooked up my 4 channel amp. Sounded a lot better but a TERRIBLE hiss was coming out of the speaker that nothing could improve. It's an inevitable attribute of sending speaker output to the input of a amp. Got sick of it really quick so I unplugged the amp and went back to the mildly improved speakers only. I was strongly considering ordering a new head unit but in order to keep steering controls alone would have been a ~140+ expenditure plus the head unit cost, and misc adapters. Then I figured I'd give this thing a shot. 110 bucks is the same price as the wheel controls box WITHOUT wires, so why not? Bingo. My radio sounds fantastic. There is some adjust-ability, so far I am just running 4 speakers off it but after I make an enclosure there will be a sub as well. I am 100% happy with it and it beyond exceeded my expectations. I have the amp set to where my normal "loud" setting is about 60-70% of max volume. At that volume the hiss is barely audible while driving with quiet music or none at all. But back at normal levels (15-25%) it isn't at all there, unlike before. I absolutely recommend this unit if you want to run a factory head unit. Every time I was in my truck I had this dark cloud of crappy music looming over my head. As stupid as that sounds, it was quite irritating. Not anymore! Unit is pretty small too. ... show more
