I show how to install subwoofers into a car with the factory radio in my 2010 Ford Fusion. I use 2 NVX VSW124v2 subwoofers, the Audiocontrol LC2i, and the NVX JAD1200.1 amplifier. I run 1/0 Gauge power wire and 14 gauge speaker wire. I built the box with a volume of about 3.6 cubic feet and tuned to about 32 hz. Hope the video helps with your install!

You may need to turn down the 'bass' control in the factory head unit to avoid hitting its built-in limiter, which is only there to protect the factory speakers. The bass is still "there" in the signal so if you tweak the crossover frequency in your subwoofer amp just right, then it will pick up right where the 'bass' EQ leaves off. This will reduce the distortion coming from your door speakers because they are no longer working as hard, and you're not hitting the factory limiter with your bass signal. Otherwise great demo and I might just have to do this in my 2010 Fusion SE with Sync.

Newer amps from Audio Control include GTO, great turn on, which activate your amp power through sound output from your speaker wire, disregarding having to run a remote wire to the head unit. Also they include AccuBass to restore bass from rolling over the higher you increase your volume as many newer vehicles have pre-installed to keep from damaging cheap stock speakers. Hope this helps anyone.

I don't have the premium system so there was no separate stock amp to deal with. If your amp is overheating, make sure it's well ventilated, and check to make sure the amp is rated to handle the resistance you have (1,2, or 4 ohms?). Your amp should also not have to be turned all the way up, so double check your settings. You could also mount a fan to cool it off.

My understanding, is that the LC2i can handle up to 400 W. So let's say I want to amplify my front door speakers and add a single 12 inch sub. Let's say my two door speakers would take up 120 W RMS. Would that leave only 280 W of power and I could put through the LC2I from a second amp to my sub woofer?
@XxkristofpopxX
@XxkristofpopxX 6 жыл бұрын
The purpose of the LC2i is to take the high output signal from your radio and turn it into a low level RCA signal that your amp can use. You don't run the amplified signal through the LC2i because that would be redundant. Does that help?

Yes it matters what LOC you use. Audiocontrol has some of the best quality LOCs, so I highly recommend them. Check your connections to make sure nothing's loose and it's properly connected. If it's still distorting, make sure you have a clean signal from the radio, and check the settings on your LOC and amp.

@XxkristofpopxX
@XxkristofpopxX 4 жыл бұрын
Two Hav it can depend on how things are wired and the equipment you’re using. Usually noises like that on shut down/turn on are because the radio shuts off/turns on before the amplifier shuts down/turns on fully. In other words, audio signal is interrupted and the amp hasn’t fully shut down or turned on yet. You can test by unplugging rca cables from amp, turning on and shutting off and seeing if there’s the noise. If no noise with rca unplugged from the amp, problem is like I mentioned above and you need a way to stop audio signal until amp fully shuts down. Hope this helps!

@Acoustic_Theory 7 жыл бұрын
No rear deck speakers in the Fusion unless you already have the upgraded Sony stereo. The rear speakers are in the rear doors. There are 6x9 openings in the rear deck for the Sony system subwoofers; you could conceivably add a full-range amp and more speakers in the rear deck but these existing locations are also good for venting the trunk compartment into the cabin. Also, you could conceivably just use 6x9 infinite-baffle subwoofers that are available, and put them into these factory locations.

Hey Tom, I pretty much highlight it in the video. If you’re sticking with a factory head unit, you’ll need something like the LC2i (line output converter) to turn the signal going to your factory speakers into something useable for your subs. It also acts as the remote turn on for your amp when it senses signal. Grab some wire and hardware along with your amp and subs and go to town

My remote wire runs from the LC2i to the back of the amp. The LC2i has a built in remote that switches on when it senses power through the speaker wire. Hope this helps!

Donald Trump2020 The LOC converts the line level coming from your radio to a low level RCA signal that your amp can use. You don't need an LOC if using an aftermarket head unit because they typically already utilize a low level RCA hookup in the back of them.

Michael ODonnell not sure if they get different signals and audio, I’d imagine it would be the same but I guess if they wanted to tailor the radio for the car and speakers they might change it slightly? I kind of doubt it though. Also, glad you like the video!

What do you mean wire config? This method can work on any car and any system that has a full range line output. Or do you mean the wiring harness in the back of the radio? I would imagine it may have changed with the updated radio in the 2013's.

Daniel Littlefield the box is approximately 36” wide, 14” tall, and 22” deep. The port hole is about 4” by 12.5”. I’d suggest a slightly smaller box if you’ve got a fusion, I had to really work the angles to get this box in the trunk!

Javid Kendall The wires from the radio go directly to the LC2i. Next you use the RCA connection from the LC2i to go to the amp, then wire the subs like normal. The remote wire goes from the LC2i to the amp, and is turned on when the LC2i senses signal from the radio.

+Nolan Servano You don't have to go into the fuse box, just get a find a power wire that turns on when you turn the key and run it to the amp. Like a cigaret output or something. You could even just install a switch so you can just flip it to turn on the amp.
