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 BoseŽ 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.

Fantastic product! April-30-12
Reviewer: Dan from Apple Valley, MN  
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!


 
Works as advertised April-29-12
Reviewer: Mike from Arlington, VA  
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.


 
Flawless! April-26-12
Reviewer: Jose from Phoenix, AZ  
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..


 
Absolutely Outstanding! April-23-12
Reviewer: Wade from Calgary, AB  
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.

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.
