I have heard a lot about this unit and always wanted to buy one just to set the gains and make a video about it...like a how-to. When my buddy Zack, my Fastenal guy, said he was thinking of using one for his new Jeep, i knew that this was the time. Not only to try it out and make a video about it, but to GIVE it to him! I love hooking people up if you haven't noticed yet!

This video covers a few things....not just the Audiocontrol LOC, but also how to properly set gains from the front to the back, the beginning of the chain to the end. Don't listen to ANYONE who says you can use a DMM (digital multi meter) because you may as well guess your gain settings if you do. If you don't know where the head-unit distorts or anything else in between that and the amplifier, than nothing else matters. It isn't as much about HOW MUCH power the amp puts out, it is WHEN that matters most. Also, that little thing no DMM fanboy ever talks about. Gain overlaps. Just say no and do it right the first time. Follow my instagram channel for daily live feeds, sometimes on subjects just like this instagram.com/meade916

Do you know how to use the accubass and tune it with the dd1? I used the dd1 to tune mt whole setup with the lc7i to keep my stock head unit. I left my accubass and the threshold at top center. It’s works with me but idk if it really helps and needs to be tuned also.

@jonanderson4474 5 лет назад

So from what I gathered from the video. Your guy got that for being decent. More importantly though. All the questions and a majority of the tech talk was covered in this video. The issue seems to arise with people not listening or paying close enough attention. Over lap. Signal voltage. Gains on the amps lc7i and the deck. How to set it in peoper order and the remote signal thing on the 7 when using factory. I don't see the confusion or any technicalities that haven't been addressed in the video. Dd1+ got it going. Idk? Maybe they believe their cousin. I found this video very informative and kind of want to grab a few of your tools. Signs of a good knowledgeable salesman.

if you just use the GTO signal sensing from the speakers line in ,you do not need remote in,only out , i have the exact one sounds amazing, i did not want to buy an amplifier for my alpine iLX-W650 /KTA 650,so i used this LC7i to send the signal to the amps thru my aftermarket Head unit, and it still sounds amazing.

@jedd1004 5 лет назад

Appreciate the info! You also highlight the importance of proper set-up! Used to do installs in the 90's and so many fools would come back saying it sounded like shit just to realize that after they left, they jacked all the gains "for more bass🤯"

@meade916 5 лет назад

the best part about the new DD-1+ is that you can actually see what the gains were when they left and you can re-probe them when they come back bitching. See where i put the highs at 3.5 and the bass at 7? That foo' comes back with his highs at 13 and his bass at 18 you know he has been messing with the dials...or his "cousin" was. LOL

@juicedcoupe 5 лет назад

I was going to use an LC2i when I integrated the factory head unit on my F150. Talking with Audio Control, they told me that since I was using a EQX as well that the only thing that I would gain was Accubass. So I went with their recommendation to use the EQX high input and save the money. I thought that spoke volumes for Audio Control, that they would talk you out of buying more of their equipment. As a long time AC products user, there wasn't any question about my loyalty in them, but they cemented it with that.

I have an LC2i in my Mercedes S class running from the stock H/K sub wires to the LC2i and in to my Rockford amp. It sounds incredible and it definitely the best LOC I’ve ever used. So much better than those cheap non powered units. My Memphis M5 12’s sound so much more detailed and crisp on the LC2i. Highly recommend AudioControl for a novice like myself.

Nice... I can at least understand what everything is doing now. Haven't set up a system since the mid 90s, in a car from the mid 80's. Some things have certainly changed, but the science is still the same. It's just a more scientifically precise way of getting there.

@waderyun.war00034 5 лет назад

Voltmeter won't work but an oscilloscope will. Still haven't set my wife's car up right yet waiting on the front door speakers and amp for them before I set it up the right way with my oscilloscope. Great job showing how to do it the proper way. Most car audio installation companies need to watch this can't tell you how many systems I have seen installed by "professionals" that weren't set up right.

@meade916 5 лет назад

yes, an oscope will work almost as good. But not really. Better than a DMM. But the DD-1+ completely rules over the o-scope for setting gains. ESPECIALLY a handheld. I would say cheap handheld (which are awful) but all those handhelds don't have the resolution you need to get as precise as the dd-1. You would need a benchtop unit with high resolution and still have trouble finding the distortion in what LOOKS like a clean wave form. I will say this, you won't hear me complaining about someone using an O-scope and following the proper procedures to set their gains. If they are doing that i have respect. Before the DD-1 that was the only proper way to do it.

@waderyun.war00034 5 лет назад

@@meade916 I don't have a cheap handheld and I have to agree your meter is better for setting gains and a lot easier to use if I installed stereo systems for a living I would definitely be getting one but for the 3 or 4 I do a year my oscilloscope and a long extension cord work good enough

@fattypack808 5 лет назад

I guess I’ve been doing it correct this whole time haha. Only thing I haven’t really played with is the accubass and threshold. Both is set at top center.

@Thezuule1 5 лет назад

Double check the manual. It does a good job of explaining how to set those two knobs. You kind of have to do that part by ear. You need to listen for where your deck is fading out the low end and set the threshold to that volume level. That's the point where AccuBass starts kicking in. Then you adjust the AccuBass to fill back in the bass the EQ in the deck ate.
