AudioControl LC1i Active 2-Channel Line Driver/Line Output Converter, Provides Input Signal to Add Amplifier to Factory Car Radio, Impedance Matching, Distortion Free

I’ve got an Android stereo in my 2015 Jeep Compass. It’s great in every way except the RCA outputs for L/R and sub have low voltage. This unit boosts the signal so you can set the gain without cranking it. The signal is nice and clean, and it’s easy to install this unit behind the Android stereo somewhere because it’s small. I love this little thing and for $50 you can’t beat the price and quality. Frequency response is 20hz to 50khz, so it’s fine for my uses. Just make sure to set the switches and settings right. Don’t max out the output knob, keep it at 90% or lower and adjust the amp gain accordingly. It’s always best to have a little headroom in every component for the cleanest signal.

Quality item as expected from the brand. Functions as it should.

This thing is awesome. I bought an nvx xbbr2 but it seemed to amplify the wrong frequencies from my pac audio APSUB-TY12. So I decided to get this to amplify the 5v outputs of the PAC. Well worth it too. Still trying to figure out the parametric eq settings from the oac but with this I get the punch I want out of my system now. 2018 highlander limited with nvx 500w fitted box for highlanders hooked up to a stinger audio amp. Super small and only needs a 1 amp in line fuse. Worth it if you just need to amplify a signal without modifications. Noise level is good. No remote control was included. Setting it up was super easy too, just piggy backed off the amplifier power, I have the gain turned up all the way on this and still no distortion form my sub (about 3/4 gain on amp) . Maybe I'll have to switch out to my 700w sub instead.

I have a new ford explorer xlt and to change the radio isn’t that simple the infotainment system in the new explorers is very costly to add an aftermarket radio and changing the radio requires so many accessories and the radios available all change your heating and ac and power seat controls. Too much to risk. With that said I added a kicker line out comverter to add an amplifier. When I hooked everything up my sub sounded like trash and the signal was muffled and a lot of bass ranges on songs were missing. I spent over a month researching products to fix this issue I even tried a smart line out converter but that helped only a little. I found this line out booster in a car audio forum as a recommendation instead of the 1000$ I was about to spend on a digital sound processor and digital amp. I ordered this item thinking it wasn’t going to do much being this cheap. I was sadly mistaken. I added this to my stereo before my amplifiers and it boosted and cleaned up the signal beyond my wildest expectations. Every song is crystal clear and my sub works like it was hooked up to an aftermarket radio. If you’re adding a sub to any factory radio do yourself a favor and add this. I just added a distribution block to power the device and plugged in my rcas accordingly and tuned it to my amps. All in all took 20 minutes to install and my stereo is mint. If you’re not really a review person trust me and this review you’ll save yourself the stress and money…Edit: could just be the unit itself but after having for 4 months I’m now having to replace this unit. I’m running a pretty heavy system so with that much power things happen but was hoping would last longer. But totally worth the money

Installed several of these, never had an issue, always top quality, have never had one fail.Direct line converters are cheaper, but seem to always crap out and eventually start buzzing. If your going to dump money on after market speakers, amps, & subs, go ahead and pay for this now installing it correctly, than eventually end up doing it later.Also, remember you can run single power and split to amp and this converter, and also use the automatic remote function that picks up the signals from the audio to turn on your amp, so you don’t have to run a separate remote wire which I think is awesome.Good luck on your install.

Great sound quality volume control and power

I got this for my brother's car he has a new 2025 Nissan Sentra SV, it worked perfectly did not have to upgrade the head unit was able to keep the cars original stereo and components and added an amplifier with a subwoofer car stereo sound it's awesome and was able to keep a lot of its factory components.

If you have an F30 with the HK stereo, this is what you need. The Harmon Kardon low level signals go as high as 40v, making this LOC essential. I've been using it for almost a year now, in combination with a 1kw amp and 12 inch Skar sub with absolutely zero problems. Crisp, clean bass.
