Do you still have to run a remote turn on wire to the aftermarket amplifier from somewhere else, or does this unit provide that for the amp?

You need at least one remote wire going to your system. The LC2i requires a remote signal, but provides a remote output for your amp. Your remote wiring for the system should go something like this, Fuse Box --> LC2i Remote In, Then LC2i Remote Out --> Remote In on Aftermarket Amp. You will need a power feed for the audio controller as well, but you can jumper that from your amp power or from the remote signal without having to run another wire.

The unit provides a remote turn on for the amp. You DO NOT need a remote wire run to the unit from car. It senses the signal from speakers to turn on. It does still need a power wire. Which you can use a distribution block running one wire to amp, and other to line out converter. However many of the new Kicker amps do not need a remote, or LOC. They accept either hi or low imputs, and uses signal from speakers. I have this unit, and works great.

The LC2i provided the remote turn on for my amplifiers. Having a factory head unit, that helped a lot.

NO you do not. from manufactures FAQ "Use the Remote Out to connect to your amp's remote input. Remote in is used only if you are not using GTO Signal Sensing turn-on." in other words you dont have to run a remote in to the unit, however you can if you want to instead of letting the unit decide based on speaker signal to turn on.

Yes it provide one but It's up to you I run another because I didn't want my amp to come on when the ACC Switch is turn, I think it's better that way meaning the amp only comes on when the car is crunk or the switch is turn all the way.

Hi Natalie. In addition to using this unit to convert your speaker output signal to a useable signal for your amplifier, you would also need an amp wiring Kit for power from your vehicles battery, as well as a ground for your amp and a remote turn on lead (Kit usually comes with power wire, ground wire, remote turn on wire, RCA cables). Hope this helps!

basically just the amp.You will have to buy the correct wire to do the install properly.Its a big amp,so be sure you got room to put it.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

8 guage wire to run power from your battery to where you install it, inline fuse, some smaller guage wire to run the remote (12 volt accessory) turn on wire from the back of your stereo, also either RCA cable or speaker wire depending on whether your running low or high level inputs .... you can buy it separately or just get a 8 gauge sub/amp wiring kit and it will have everything you need

There is a set of RCA outputs for your subs, the purple antenna wire is the remote for the amp, there is a remote control connector, the remote control you have to buy separate , speaker wires and amp wiring are also separate... If you are replacing an existing receiver just reuse the old wiring to those speakers and such

If you are inquiring if the amp auto senses the receiver turning on and turns on itself with low level RCA patch, yes. A soft turn on at that.

If you want to keep your existing head unit, which is actually a decent unit(stock speakers are horrible), it is the easiest route I found to go. I have a 4 ch and a sub amp hooked up to it. Yes it turns it on and off if you run the remote wire. Works just like stock and I haven't had any problems at all!! As for cheaper, I don't think $33 is expensive at all.

Yeah. Just need to have the right wire leads to your amp. Check with a local car audio place cause I couldn't tell ya. Also need to have power to the amp from the battery.

Yes it's like wiring a regular amplifier. Has RCA and high level inputs. Only thing it lacks is a remote on wire. On another note it does not need to be directly wired to your battery like a normal amp would. Hope this has helped you.

the amp is built in, if thats what you're asking.but as far as wires to run power to it no. hope this help's

Depending on the wiring harness that you may have, it may or may not work. As far as the Sub, it has a remote turn on wire for the amplifier. I think that is about it.

No, this knob IS the remote. Instead of running your red/white RCA cables straight from the amp to head unit, you run them to this remote controller instead, then another set from this remote to the head unit.

You can turn it on (and off) with the remote control included with the amplifier

if you are installing a new aftermarket headunit you need this to turn on the factory amp in a jbl system

I understand why you would have the amp turned down but........correct power wire will give clean signal to your subs which is more important than keeping your gains down.......so to answer your question buddy, it is OK but we don't agree with ok.....we need 0ga in that vehicle.......also look into getting an upgraded alternator "only if you plan on keeping the vehicle. ......, phill

Wire it between the amp and preamp (if you have that option; only 2 rca wires required). Plug the EQ into a switched outlet on your receiver.
