Morning everyone, I've found my way back to this fourm after having watched Steve's most recent video on LOCs. The current LOCs I'm running in my system were the first in the video (PACS SNI-15) and they performed less than well to say the least... So, I'm here for advice! Back when I was in highschool, I had a shop install an after market system with a 4 channel mids amp, sub amp and new door speakers ran on a factory radio. They opted to use two Pacs locs zip tied together to integrate with my stock radio. Fast forward to today, I'm realizing that my current setup is less than ideal, and I want to replace my locs with a tried and true product, but my question is, what are those options, and what's the best configuration for running a 4 channel mids amp and a sub amp? Is it better to run a single device like a lc7i that has 6 channels so the whole system can be ran off one device? Or do people just use multiple 2 channel locs like Steve's SMD hlc-2? If you were to use the hlc-2's for a system like mine with a 4 channel mids amp and a 2 channel sub amp, how many would be needed to do it 'right'? I know some of these questions are quite basic, but I really have had no personal experience with locs, so any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Chase | Xlite

I've been putting off buying a voltmeter due to the fact my car already has a stock one. I was just wondering, how accurate are the stock ones? Do i really need to buy an aftermarket one?

Here's the run down so you'll can give me the best opinion. I drive a 2006 F-150 XLT 4.6 (V8) crew cab. Stock 125 amp alt. I plan on replacing my battery soon and I'm gonna try and convince the 'rents' to buy a better battery than the ones you buy from Ford. I'm tore between getting a XS Power and Kinetik battery. I have no idea what size I need. So your opinion on what size and brand would be wonderful. This isn't 'vs.' thread just a 'suggestion and opinion thread' since I know you'll hate the 'vs.' threads. I also am about to rebuild my system which be consisting of an Orion HCCA 12.2 with 2500 watts pushing towards. I added that just in case it might change your suggestion on size. Sorry for this being long just want the basic run down to get the best opinions. Thanx!
