[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8615856, member: 650438"] Its the line out convertor and stock head unit limiting you. Stock head units have an agressive high pass filter built in which cuts off the bass to the door speakers to prevent the sh*tty factory speakers from destroying themselves. What this means is when you try to get a signal for your amplifier, its not there, you are literally trying to amplify a signal thats been cut to sh*t already. No matter what you do, your bass will always sound off and weak unless you get the signal side taken care of. Literally every week on this forum audio newbies make threads about having a system they arent satisfied with or have issues with and an audiocontrol or cheaper line out converter was always involved. My ex girl had a 2010 chevy camaro as well and had a shop(before i met her) add a 12 inch sub. They used a line out convertor same lc2i, her subs were weak. I convinced her to get a brand new radio. Nothing else changed, literally felt like a low powered 8 inch sub with the LOC to an actual 12 inch sub on proper power in terms of loudness with the new head unit with dedicated sub out. Amp ran cooler as well, waaaay less clipping and distortion, way cleaner signal. New head unit and do a properly designed custom ported box tailored to your vehicle acoustics and subwoofer parameters. Dont buy anything pre-made. [/QUOTE]
