    Adding subwoofer to stock unit

    This is essential to adding subwoofers to your stock unit in vehicle. It is universal meaning that it works with all stock radios in any vehicle with the least amount of money.

    Turn offASC/ANC, no clipping, and it works so well

    I went from a Metra LOC and this thing makes one heck of a difference, I can play my subs louder for longer since this thing has a light on it to tell you if your signal is clipping, the instructions were super clear, and I loved not having to run a separate line for remote on, my old LOC used to play this bouncing bass note when I turned the car off and back on, and would pop when I turned it off, this has a feature that stops that from happening and it has been so nice. If you're experiencing a loud noise trying to play your subs, and you're using a factory touch screen radio, go into your settings (some have a special menu like my 17 Maxima did), and turn off ASC and ANC, noise cancelling can cause that and then ASC is a simulated sound of the engine for if you're going fast and a lot of cars have it.

    Bang for your buck yes, but lci 2 is better

    Great for strictly STOCK headunits (wanting to add an amp/sub to a stock aka factory headunit). The procuct runs well, is compact enough to not get in the way or tuck somewhere (if you can run wires properly). I would definitely reccomend the lci 2 more so though because its more "future proof" incase you want to upgrade your system in the future. With this one your limited to one set of rcas which means... ull have to use a splitter if worst comes to worst and you wanna add another set of rcas... dont do that! Go with the lci 2 unless your ballin on a budget and have no other choice but this one... But for the price its the best lci 1 on the market... performance is great, looks nice and clean, and is very easily adjusted. 4.7 outta 10
