particularly handy when using the LC8i with a factory system that has
multiple, actively crossed over signals being sent from an OEM source
unit or amplier(s). For example, in some vehicles there is an actively
crossed over tweeter, midrange, and woofer all in the front of the ve-
hicle. The LC8i lets you take all of those signals and sum them together
to get a high quality, full range, pre-amp signal without the use of any
additional cables or hardware.
AutoMode Inputs
Sometimes in life (and car audio) we need more outputs than inputs.
Therefore we have equipped your LC8i with an AutoMode input that
takes the channel 3 (rear) input signal and automatically feeds it to the
channel 4 outputs to drive a subwoofer amp and crossover, when there
is no signal present on the channel 4 inputs. This means your LC8i will
accept two input channels and give you four output channels. Or it can
accept four input channels and give you six output channels…or it can
accept six and give you eight!! It stops at eight by the way. Option-
ally, you can bypass the AutoMode, with an internal jumper, for certain
custom installations.
Level Matching Controls
Your LC8i has level controls for each pair of channels. These controls
allow you to adjust the signal level from your factory-installed amplier
or source unit to match up with your after-market amplier or processor.
The Auxiliary input also has a level-matching control to balance it with
the main inputs.
Remote Level/Source Control
A very unique dash mount control is provided with the LC8i. This is
a multi-function control, and serves to let the user choose between the
Main input (factory head unit) and the Auxiliary input (iPod, satellite
radio, or other source). The remote also serves to control the Channel
4 (subwoofer) output level. When you are using the Auxiliary input the
remote will independently control either the Aux Volume or the Channel
4 (subwoofer) output level.
