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 LC8:
1.
Physically mount the LC8 in a location that keeps it away from
soda spills, food crumbs, and curious fingers. You will want to select a
location that allows you access to the level controls. In many cases you
can find factory speaker leads in the rear
of
the vehicle that are easy to
access.
2.
The LC8 needs to be installed in the signal path between your OEM
source unit or factory-installed amplifier(s) and an aftermarket external
amplifier and/or processor(s). Locate the speaker wires that are coming
from your factory source unit and/or amplifier and connect them to the
speaker-level inputs on your LC8.
3.
Connect the Output RCA connectors to cables that run to your after-
market external signal processors and/or amplifiers.
If
this is not obvious
to
you, quickly pack up your LC8 and run to your nearest authorized
AudioControl dealer to have them perform the installation. You will
thank us later.
4.
Connect +
12
power, ground, and remote tum-on
(if
applicable).
5.
Level match your LC8 to your source and amplifiers.
Note:
You
will want to turn the gains
DOWN
on
your
aftermarket am-
plifiers to maximize
your
systems performance
and
minimize any HISS.

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 and as
much as we would like to get your calls and e-mails, most
of
the answers
to
your questions are in this manual!
