I apologize in advance this is a bit long-winded but i need advice from people who have more than likely done this many more times than i have.
I just bought a 08 Acura TL. I want to install the aftermarket setup i had in my previous car but they only offer single din head units for this acura. Also, this car came with navigation, bluetooth, and a reverse camera that honestly i dont want to get rid of. Not to mention if you installed a aftermarket radio you have to 1) run new wire to the speakers or it wont work and 2) buy a dash kit.
I've researched around and found out you need a LOC to run a amp and subwoofer from a factory deck. I want to run a Rockford Fosgate t1000 with 2 RF P3's and a RF 4 channel with 4 RF 6.5's and 6.9's. Bare in mind i already have Mechman 240 amp alternator and big 3 wiring upgrade kit. My issue is i dont want to lose the navigation and bluetooth and be stuck with a substandard single din.
1) Which LOC would work best? The only one i've seen is a scosche loc and I don't know if that can handle what im looking to do.
2) is there a limit to how much power I can run using a LOC? I don't plan on running a crazy amount of power but 1300 watts is substantial.
3) Do these LOC's come with a remote wire connection or am I stuck going through the fuse box? Did that once and didn't like it. I prefer a dedicated remote wire.
