AudioControl’s LC8i 8-channel line output converter (LOC) allows you to add aftermarket amps, speakers, and subs to your car’s factory radio, so you can enjoy better and more powerful sound without losing climate controls, voice-activated functions, or other built-in factory features. The LC8i accepts speaker-level signals, so you can use it with just about any setup, even high-powered amplified systems

The LC8i features RCA auxiliary inputs, with an independent volume control, so you can play music through the system from whatever portable source you own via its headphone jack and an adapter cable (not included).

The LC8i sums its input signals together, even if they’ve been crossed over for tweeters, mids, and subs by the factory system. That way, you can count on a strong, smooth, full-range signal for your processors and amps. The LC8i features eight RCA preamp outputs that’ll handle a 4-way system using tweeters, mid-high speakers, mid-low drivers, and subwoofers.

AudioControl makes it easy: set your factory stereo to about 3/4 maximum volume, turn the output level control of the LC8i until the “Maximized” light begins to flicker, then adjust the gain controls on your amps and you’re done. You’ve level-matched the output of your receiver to the amplifier’s input, so you can count on getting maximum performance and minimum noise from your system
