AudioControl LC7i Black 6-Channel Line Output Converter with Bass Restoration

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 wasnt expecting that. Im really happy with the results, all around. Its a no brainer, just like the Rockford amps. The only thing I havent done is employ a sub, so I cant comment on its performance with that, but if the audio quality is any indicator, itll be fine as AudioControl has a great rep.

The internals are not put together that well...i’ve owned about 6 different units and two of this model the Lc7 is very clean when they Work. Have had a few inputs and outputs go sadly after very little play time. I wish they were a little better cause they are one of the better ones! Steer clear of soundstream (line drivers) my one build that’s all I run amp wise...I’m not being bias I’ve sent back brand new inbox ones because they simply don’t work or turn on come on do better! I try not to brand bash but I’ve had quite a bit to deal with and when your buying line drivers you’ve probably already sunk some good money into your build!

Awesome product. Loved how it made my factorysystem sound way better with my kicker amps.

Works great

ok

the best thing you can buy to keep original your dashboard and still getting a good sound

Easy to install and really improves the quality if my factory audio

Best !

Better than using a standard line-out converter. Has some limitations considering the price. Took a lot of time to tune properly and experiment with to get it to sound right. But great for adding a sub woofer. Cleaner signal than a cheap one from Wally world. All in all I am happy with this purchase. Do get the remote though, wish it was included.

Only one side was functional
