to perform the installation. Not only do they have all the right knowl-
edge and tools, but also in the unlikely chance your LC8i should stop
working, we will back it with a limited ve years parts and labor war-
ranty. Should you choose to install it yourself we will still give you a
one-year parts and labor warranty. To activate your warranty, simply go
to www.audiocontrol.com, click on “Mobile Audio”, click on “Warranty
Registration” and ll in the form. Quick, easy and no stamp needed.
We also recommend that you save your invoice or sales slip as proof
of installation and ownership. Not only is it necessary for warranty
purposes, but should your LC8i “walk away” one day while your car is
parked at your local latte’ stand, you will nd insurance companies very
unforgiving without proof of purchase.
Quick Installation Information
For those of you short on time but high on ambition, we offer the fol-
lowing section to speed up your installation of the LC8i:
1. Physically mount the LC8i in a location that keeps it away from
soda spills, food crumbs, and curious ngers. You will want to select a
location that allows you access to the level controls. In many cases you
can nd factory speaker leads in the rear of the vehicle that are easy to
access.
2. The LC8i needs to be installed in the signal path between your OEM
source unit or factory-installed amplier(s) and an after-market amplier
and/or processor(s). Locate the speaker wires that are coming from your
factory source unit and/or amplier and connect them to the speaker-
level inputs on your LC8i. If you will be using an iPod or other auxiliary
source you will plug the Aux source into the “Aux In” RCA plugs.
3. Connect the Output RCA connectors to cables that run to your after-
market signal processors and/or ampliers. If this is not obvious to you,
quickly pack up your LC8i and run to your nearest authorized AudioCon-
trol dealer to have them perform the installation. You will thank us later.
4. Mount and connect the dash remote in an easy to reach position
5. Connect +12 power, ground, and (if applicable), remote turn-on.
6. Level match your LC8i to your source unit, signal processor and
ampliers.
Note: You will want to turn the gains DOWN on your aftermarket am-
pliers to maximize your systems performance and minimize any HISS
(or an occasional Boo!)
