[QUOTE="ovalevader, post: 6845050, member: 604735"] I'm having trouble matching the sub amp and oem amp levels using an audiocontrol LC6i in my 09 honda civic with premium audio. I have the audiocontrol hooked up to the sub channel on the factory amp (the rear speakers don't have any signal under 30hz...lame), but i'm not sure if I hooked it up right. I'm basically splitting the subs signal and sending it into both the left and right input of the main input of the lc6i. I'm not sure if this would change the impendance of the signal, as the lc6i is 20k ohms, and I think I may have run both channels in parellel and changed the impendence of the incoming signal and made it 10k ohms, right? With it hooked up this way, and with the oem headunits volume turned to a reasonable level, i can't turn the audiocontrols level control down far enough to get it to not clip. Is the subs signal just too high level, or is my wiring messing with the impendence of the signal? Also, even if I place it at like a level 10 volume and match the lc6's levels perfectly according to the manual, I am still getting a pretty weak signal sent to the amp, with the gain all the way up I'm getting about 400 watts worth of voltage out of an amp I know to do 1000+ Basically what I'm asking is how is a 2 wire sub supposed to be wired into a left and right 2 channel loc? And if I fix that, why am I getting such a weak signal from it, its rated for 9.5v preout voltage? [/QUOTE]
