AudioControl LC2i vs AudioControl LC6i

I am adding a JL Audio XD700/5 700W Amplifier to power a Infinity 1262w sub on my 2012

Infiniti G37xS.

People have said to use a AudioControl LC2i with this to get a better sound. I can not replace the HU on this car as no dash kit will work. It has bee looked into many times by people on forums.

Next year, I was thinking of changind out the speakers. Would I be better off getting the AudioControl LC6i if i plan on adding more speakers and anothiner Amp for this setup?

you need to research way more, your question is too broad and doesn't really help with anything. the LC2i isn't going to do anything for you unless you're just adding a sub stage so that should narrow down your choices since you only are choosing between the LC2i and the LC6i. truthfully neither of those units will do what you are looking for, you need to look into a different unit like the DQL-8, MS-8, 3Sixty, etc.... you need some sort of processing and summing ability, back to the drawing board for you.

A lc6i would do everything you need, BUT I dont recommend going that route. Because I was in the same position as you, and I bought a lc6i. Installed in a 2009 lancer gts with the upgraded rockford sound system. I liked it for about a month, only to realize it didnt give me the sound quality I wanted. The lc6i ran 2 amps, one for my subs and one for the mids(hybrid audio). Also the lc6i can introduce ground loops, and fuzz and sub thump when you turn the car off. I asked around and it is common to have that. If I were you I would save the money you would spend on the lc6i, and find a way to get a new HU in there.

If you have the money to buy that g37, you've got the money to put in a new HU.

After just getting a new exhaust installed, Ill wait for some Dash Kits to come out.

Thanks for the info on the lc6i, as I will go a different route.
