Anything else I need?

[Airman21 10+ year member]

I will be having a system put into my new car. I have been buying stuff I need so I don't get screwed on the price from an installer. I want keep my stock radio. This is what I have so far:

2- 8" SA v.2

Sundown SAZ-1000D

ID CTX 6.5

Phoenix Gold xenon x100.2

1.5 cubed box

1/0 gauge and fuse for big 3

amp kits for both amps

Battery terrminals

Speaker wire

I was thinking about getting an AudioControl Lineout convertor but I am unsure which one I would need.

Am I missing anything?

Deadener.

Ya good call I forgot to mention that. I plan on having the shop deaden the front doors when they put in the comps. I will do the trunk myself.

Distribution block to split the power to both amps?

Distribution block to split the power to both amps?

Adding to this.

Get a 1/0 amp kit -> distro block (1/0 in 2 4g out) -> 4g to individual amps

1/0 Ground wire -> distro block (1/0 in 2 4g out) -> 4g to individual amps

If you have the room you can have each amp grounded individually instead of going to a distro block. I have a distro block for my grounds and I don't have any noise or issues.

Typo. It was late and my brain quit working.

Do you have an after market radio?

Do you have an after market radio?

Nope. My radio controls my navigation and everything. Plus it is still under warranty.

I would get one of the Audiocontrol units. Either the lc6i or the lc7i. I'm using the lc7i right now in my ride for the same reason and the audiocontrol units are top notch. I've used some of the cheap lineout converters before and was never really happy with the sound. The audiocontrol units have some nice features like signal summing and signal sense turn on.

I have read a lot of good things about the AudioControl units. I was looking at the LC6i but found the LC2i and was wondering if that would work.
