    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.

    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
      @meade916  Před 5 lety +3

      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

    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.

    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.

    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.
