Line Out Convertor Help

[shahir 10+ year member]

I have a Lexus IS F w/Mark Levinson Audio System, will be adding an Illusion Audio Carbon C12 subwoofer and Mosconi AS 200.2 Amp

So, I need help figuring out the best LOC / HiLo Adapter Driver for my need... AudioControl LC2i, Caché CLOC+D, Mosconi HLA-SUM?

I also need to know what should I tap into from the factory ML amp - Sub Output, Front Woofer Outputs, or Both (Sum)?

Illusion and Mosconi are brick and mortar dealer brands, and your local dealer should be the one answering this question, in my opinion. To add only a bass upgrade it probably would come down to whether the Mark Levinson system kills the bass as you crank up the volume. If not, any of those devices should get the job done since you'd only need to drop the input voltage.

I've tried to get help with local dealers, they only tell me that the Mosconi would have better signal to noise ratio. No one has really helped me figuring out where should I tap into from the factory amp, if I do really need to SUM the front woofer and sub together?

The factory ML system does cut or lower the bass output at higher volumes, so that is why I need to know if I should get the Accubass feature from the LC2i or would the SUM be of the best to get the full hertz range of the bass output?
