Summable Outputs

The LCQ-1 has the capability to combine together multiple (2, 4, or 6) 

input signals from the factory source unit into 2 channels. In some vehicles 
there is an actively crossed over tweeter, midrange, and woofer all in the 
front of the vehicle. The LCQ-1 lets you take all of those signals and sum 
them together to get a high quality, full range, pre- amp signal. Simply move 
the summing jumper located under cover and near knobs for the desired 
channel into the “Sum” position. If the green LED for that channel is on, you 
know it is being summed into the main output.

AutoMode Inputs 

We have equipped your LCQ-1 with an AutoMode input that takes the 

channel 2 (rear) input signal and automatically feeds it to the channel 3 out-
puts to drive a subwoofer amp and crossover. This means your LCQ-1 will 
accept two input channels (say, Front and Rear) and give you three output 
channels (Front, Rear, and Sub). 

Optional Remote Level Control/EQ Switch

 The ACR-2 is a multi-function remote that gives you control over the level 

of the Channel 3/Subwoofer  output so you can balance the bass level with 
the rest of the system. An additional feature of the ACR-2 dash remote is that 
it allows the equalization to be switched in and out of the audio circuit by 
tapping the switch. You can hear the system before and after the EQ adjust-
ments. 

ACR-2 Dash Control (Purchased Separately)

Placement And Mounting 

The ACR-2 dash control may be mounted under the dash using its own 

bracket or through a custom hole in the dash. It should be within reach of the 
driver and in a spot where the LED is plainly visible. 

Bracket Installation

The dash control mounts with two screws, which attach to the underside of 

the dashboard. Slide under the dash and place the dash control in its mount-
ing position, mark the two mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and secure with 
two screws.

Custom Installation

For that custom, finished look, the dash control can be 

flush mounted directly on the dash-board (or any-
where else). Referencing the figure above, 
disassemble the dash control from the 
mounting bracket. Start by pushing the 
LED from its holder followed by 
removing the circuit board and 
rotary control from the bracket. 
Drill a 9/32 hole in the dash-
board for the control along with 
a 1/8 hole for the lock tab and 
a 13/64 hole for the LED holder. 
Reassemble the dash control components on the dashboard.
