LC6i Audio Wiring

The LC6i needs to be installed in the signal path after your factory

source unit or amplifier but definitely before your aftermarket amplifi-

ers and/or any signal processors. You may already have guessed there

are numerous ways to configure the LC6i in your audio system so we

recommend you spend a little quality time planning out your system

and even sketching it out on paper.
The next 2 pages show some examples of using the LC6i with some of

our multi-channel amplifiers and subwoofer amplifiers.
