- A: AnswerYes. You can run rca cables for “main” output and for “bass” output. Mains would be to the amp you use for your door speakers and bass is obviously to the amp for your sub. Fade loss depends on how you hook up the wire inputs on the lc2i unit.

Q: Questioncan this be used with aftermarket stereo(2 answers)
A: AnswerSure, but it was designed more for factory installed systems that force audio signal processing. This removes that processed audio signal and sends a cleaned signal to your amplifier. In my case, i have a bose system in my srx and added an aftermarket subwoofer/amplifier. Whenever i would turn the volume up the bass would decrease drastically. This was intentional by bose to prevent users from blowing the factory subwoofer which also carried over to my aftermarket amp/sub. The LC2i solved this problem by eliminating the reduced bass processing and sending my amp a clean signal. Might be overkill for aftermarket stereos since you most likely will not be needing this feature and just using it as a DLCAnswered by Nicky
- A: AnswerIf you are using this just for subs then yes you can hook it up to just one speaker but if you are using a full range amp and full range speakers then you will want to hook it to both so you have stereo and left right separation. Yes unplug the speakers so there is no unnecessary stress on your speakers. It has a clip light on it

Q: QuestionWould it fit a InfinityG37x with Bose system?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe answer is yes but you need a lot of technical knowledge. I've heard it can have conflicts with high end bose systems that filter out road noise. I've also heard stories where it worked fine, just depends on how indepth your system is.Answered by Landrew

Q: QuestionCan you hook up a lc2 to an aftermarket radio(2 answers)
A: AnswerI wouldn't recommend it because the true purpose of the LC2 is to compensate for what is called bass rolloff. This is done in factory radios to prevent blowing the speakers. It's also why if you notice turning the volume up but the bass is not increasing just only the highsAnswered by Duval
