[QUOTE="moparnut, post: 8639491, member: 674006"] I hear what the rest are saying, but I totally get where you are also. While the Audiocontrol may not be the best, I have had pretty good luck with them. I usually will tap the wire before the speaker when using any LOC. I have tried getting the signal from behind the head unit with mixed results, because depending on the system and the presence of a factory amp the signal may be too low to use. I have not had that issue when getting the signal from the speaker location. They mentioned the factory crossover settings and signals sounding messed up, but I have found that if you ensure you are getting a full range (as much as you can anyway) signal, you should be fine. I am running an LOC and I have installed several for people in your situation. While it is not ideal, the sky doesn't fall and sound as horrible as what is being said here. Will you ever win a competition with that setup, no; however I doubt that is your end goal using an LOC anyway. Hope that helps you. [/QUOTE]
