LOC Help!
Ok... So I have an '04 with Bose and am putting two Rockfod Fosgate P2D212's in a sealed RX8 enclosure with a Rockford Fosgate P500-2 amp... I am good with audio wiring with an aftermarket HU set-up but I want to retain the factory HU... I like how it looks and i want to keep the in dash cd changer... So the question is what LOC do i need for my system to sound good? Im not looking to spend a ton of money on a loc and do not know what kind to get. PS i did search. Please no bashing.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Ok... sorry if its a dumb question but is an active loc the same as an adjustable loc? and i want my subs sound to be quiet with the volume down and when i turn up te tunes i want the sub to adjust. I that the difference between the audiocontrol and a regular loc?

Ok thanks! I was just wondering because a friend of mine had a loc on is grand am and he had to manually adjust the bass level from his stock headunit.
And why is using a standard loc so bad compared to the audiocontrol? Is sound quality that much different?
And for the install, would a t-tap suffice?

If your just adding subs, it's not a big deal. Go with the cheap one. T-taps are fine providing they make a solid cut through the insulation and are secure. But might think about saving yourself the possible problems by just cutting and soldering the wires. Still only takes a minute.

Those just adding subs aren't going to see any real benefits from using the high-end LOCs. Those replacing all the cabin speakers and powering them with aftermarket amps will.
Both scenarios are assuming you keep the stock headunit. Wouldn't need a LOC if you were going aftermarket.
