Basic LC8i System
If
you need to know more, then read on. Heck,
if
you
don't
need to
know more, still read on, because you can never know too much. As
much as we would like to get your calls and e-mails, most
of
the answers
to your questions are
in
this manual!
A
Guided
Tour
of
LC8i
1.
Speaker-level
Inputs:
The LC8i has eight speaker-level inputs.
These inputs get their signals from the speaker-level outputs
of
your fac-
tory-installed source unit or amplifier.
If
your source unit has front, rear,
and subwoofer speaker-level outputs, connect them to the first three sets
of
inputs on your LC8i.
If
the source unit only has front and rear outputs,
the Auto Mode circuitry in your LC8i automatically routes the Channel 3
input channels to the (Channel 4) subwoofer channels.
2.
Ground:
Connect to a good, verified chassis ground (the battery
comes to mind.) Warning: Factory ground wires typically already have
multiple devices connected to them and are
not
recommended.
3.
+12V: Power - Connect to a good source
of
12-volt power (the bat-
tery comes to mind again)
4.
Remote
In:
In
some unusual installations, you may not want to
use the
GTOTM
to
tum
on your system. For these cases the LC8i can be
turned on remotely with a
+12-volt trigger. When you use the +12-volt
remote in, you can to set the internal
GTOTM
jumper
to "Default". This
will prevent the
car's
computer from turning the system on unexpectedly.
5.
Remote
Out:
Outputs
12
volts when the LC8i is powered up, so you
can tum on external devices like signal processors and amplifiers.
6.
Maximized
Indicator:
This brightly colored LED indicates when
your signal level is
just
below clipping your LC8i. When properly level
matched, this LED should flicker occasionally when your system is play-
ing at its maximum volume level.
