Failed Purchase
The first thing I noticed is that the colors of the RCA jacks do not coincide with the L and R markings on the case. L is colored red and R is colored white... no big deal really, just annoying. The main problem is that the Accubass function does not work. Once in a while it will kick in and get really loud for just a few seconds and go back off. I just turned it all the way down and don't use it. At first I hated the sound of my new installation. The Polk MM6501 front channels sounded extremely harsh and unnatural. I eventually moved those incoming speaker leads to channel 2 and they sound great. What I have found is that the first channel of the unit is unusable. Anything I put through it sounds horrible. Channels 2 and 3 work so I'm only using them. Their quality control needs some work.

AccuBass is my hero. Using with Stock radio
This solved all of my problems when it came to integrating amps, speakers and subs with my factory stereo.
It gave me the RCAs I needed to connect both my 4-channel and mono amp and corrected the loss of bass I was experiencing when I was using a cheaper LOC.
The other thing I like is each channel has independent gain control. My buddy that helped install it also pointed out that it was good I bought this instead of LC6 which is a little cheaper because of the accubass feature which like I said I am basically in love with. :)

Great company, solid product.
First of all, I love AudioControl. The manual provided with the LC7i was exceptional. Even had some humor laced into it. And when I still had questions, I called their help line. They put me on with a tech that I swear must have designed the thing - very knowledgable. Great customer support.
I don't have much experience with LOC's so I don't know how the LC7i compares to others. What I do know is that the AccuBass bass restoration feature is only active on Channel 3 (the sub channel). So it will not restore bass for your fronts or rears. Probably OK if you're going to run a sub.

Worked as advertised.
I installed 2 amplifiers in my 2013 Kia Sorento with the 10 speaker Infinity system. I wanted to keep the factory head unit and therefore had to keep the factory amp. The LC7i made the conversion from the speaker outputs of the factory amp to inputs for my new amps.
