Figure 5: Dash Control Assembly
Placement & Mounting of the LC8i
Your LC8i can be physically installed in numerous locations like
behind your dashboard, under a seat, or even in the trunk. Since you
will be connecting to the speaker wires from the factory source unit or its
amplier(s), you should select a location that is convenient for wiring.
Once you have selected a permanent mounting location, position the unit
and mark the appropriate mounting holes with a felt-tip pin or scratch
awl. Before doing anything else, make sure you are not about to drill
a hole in a gas tank or pierce any existing wiring. Nothing ruins your
day more than an expensive repair bill. Drill a few small pilot holes and
secure the chassis of the LC8i with self-tapping screws.
Placement & Mounting of the Dash Control
Placement And Mounting
The dash control may be mounted under the dash using its own bracket
or through a custom hole in the dash. It should be within reach of the
driver and in a spot where the LEDs are plainly visible. We don’t want to
cause any car crashes
Dash Bracket Installation
The dash control mounts with two screws, which attach to the under-
side of the dashboard. Slide under the dash and place the dash control in
its mounting position, mark the two mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and
secure with two screws.
Custom Installation
For that custom, nished look, the dash control can be ush mounted
directly on the dashboard (or anywhere else). We have provided an extra
label to help make this happen. Referencing Figure 5, disassemble the
dash control from the mounting bracket. Start by pushing the LEDs from
their holders, then remove the knob (pull off) and the nut holding the ro-
tary control and circuit board to the bracket. Remove the control
from the bracket. Drill a 9/32 hole in the dashboard for
the control along with a 1/8 hole for the lock tab and two
13/64 holes for the LED holders. Reas-
semble the dash control compo-
nents on the dashboard and apply
the new label over the openings.
