Audiocontrol LC7 Question

[Chris Kulbaba]

Just ordered an Audiocontrol LC7 unit, and I am just wondering (for planning) what wiring I need to run to this unit... I need all the speaker leads? What about the factory sub, how does that work?

 

[Dingo]

All 6 speaker wires. Make sure to tap the sub wires after the stock sub amp.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Do you have any info on which leads are which?



What is the best way also to run the new wire into the doors... I know on the 01 it was a nightmare and ended up just drilling holes and running them through...

 

[Dingo]

Tap them behind the radio, run to the LC7, and then run the wires from the amp back to behind the radio.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Are the factory speaker leads going to handle 150-200W RMS?

 

[Dingo]

Mine do.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Okay Ill give it a shot.. that was good advise. To run from the back of the deck, to uinder the seat to the back of the deck to the factory leads... Never thought of doing it that way. Save a ton of time too.



Thanks

Look up Stinger Speedwire. It'll be your bestest friend.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Wow... that speedwire guage is ok? What size is the factory wire, 20?

 

[Dingo]

It feels 20ish. I never actually measured. The Speedwire is perfectly adequate for what you're doing, though. I'm running it to Boston SL80s in my doors, and many members on here have heard mine and can verify that it can actually be painful.

I used speedwire in my truck too, I'm running 50 watts to each door speaker from an alpine amp.

 

[Dingo]

Mine's running 65W off of a Boston Acoustics amp to each speaker.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Well im planning on the Boston SPZ60's w/ About 200W RMS to each side from either a Zapco amp or Audison... Not sure yet...

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Where can I grab some speedwire, its very hard to find online...?

 

[Dingo]

Dunno. I have whole rolls of the 5 and 9 conductor, but I buy it wholesale. Also... Anything above the SL80s will go unnoticed in that truck.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

Can you sell me a roll of the 9 conductor?

 

[Dingo]

Shipping would be horrendous. See if you can find it locally.

 

[Chris Kulbaba]

I've tried... If I can get 50' off the 100' i'd do that, but if the 100' is all you can do thats fine too.



Can you just let me know what the total cost would be to this location?

Thank you.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

Even if you have to run two feeds of it you shouldn't need more than 30 feet should you?

 

[Dingo]

I needed 18. One run from back of head unit to under passenger's side seat, and one from amp on back wall to head unit.
