Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


This unit provides a strong 9.5V signal. Start with the gain at 25% and watch the LED Clip Indicator. If it glows Red, back off. This prevents "slamming" your amp’s inputs and ensures a clean, non-distorted signal.
Factory units check for speaker resistance. Use the Load Selection switch to toggle 20, 60, or 20k-ohm. This adds the resistance the radio expects, preventing a protective mute or signal shutdown.
Ensure the cable is fully clicked in. Also, check that the Main Level dial on the LOC isn't at zero. The remote knob can only "cut" or "boost" based on where the main unit's gain is currently set.
Use DC (DC Offset) for modern factory radios. Switch to AUD (Audio) if you are tapping a signal after a factory amplifier (like Bose). This ensures your amp triggers only when the LOC "hears" music.
This is a ground loop. While the engine is running, toggle the Ground Isolation switch (GND, ISO, or 200-ohm) until the buzzing stops. This "breaks" the electrical loop between your factory radio and the amp.

Can't do a proper upgrade without it!!

Works great with factory HU's. Stops the annoying bass rolloff when upgrading. Night and day from the other LOC's I've used before.

Highly recommended, amazing sound quality!

It's basically the XLCA2 on steroids. It has everything you could possibly need if you plan on adding an aftermarket subwoofer amplifier to your factory stereo. If you don't have one, GET ONE!

Exactly what I needed!

Installed this in a 2023 Bronco to add a 10. This worked much better than the cheap $20 LOC previously installed! Bass was a lot less muddy and about twice as loud.

Move over AudioControl

I've used a few of these now after usually being an Audiocontrol LC2I guy for years. These are better in every way, better features, less noise and even look cooler lol Super easy to setup (check YouTube for the video) and go. I run this prior to my DSP for my bass channel and have tons of adjustability because of it. I don't know what I'd do without it!
