With my "pac" loc the browns were grounds. On mine there was a black ground aswell and when I grounded the browns it didn't make any difference. Couldn't hurt anything. I double check the manual though.

What LOC are you planning to use?

I would strongly recommend you purchase a quality unit. I am speaking from experience here, as I tried 2 $20 units for my sub stage, and they were junk!

I ended up going with an Audiocontrol L6i LOC, and I am very pleased. The unit has adjustable gain on all 3 channel outputs, so it is perfect for amplifying all channels in a custom setup starting from a factory HU.

I also tried a Re-Q5, but the wiring was all screwed up on that unit when matching up to my monsoon system, plus their phone support was crap, so I returned it.
