ikillsuckers Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yes island pride that is exactly what it looks like. I talked to audio control and it looks like I will be going with the lc8i due to the extra channel it had and newer design over the 6. I'm going to do a build thread incase anyone else runs into these questions with this car thank you every one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrius Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Turn your car on and get a dmm and test wires. You can pull speakers out of the doors and go wire by wire to see if there is continuity between the wire am the speaker. If there is it's the correct one.... Or you could try dinging a wire diagram for ur car. 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikillsuckers Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 thanks sir, I replaced all speakers today and ran all wires, also sound deadened the whole car. This has been a lot of work so far, i hope it turns out sounding good. I took note of the stock speaker wire colors and matched them to the small plug which is the out put plug. received the lc8i today and will be installing it tomorrow night. and hearing how this all sounds for the first time!

ikillsuckers Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ok so I just finished attempting to hook up the lc8i, ugh this has been such a hassle, so I cut the wires on the output side of my amp and ran the front positives and front negatives to the main channel and rear negatives and positives to second channel, the lc8i doesn't need a remote wire it gets powered up whenever it gets a signal from the speaker wires, and it IS powering up, which tells me I'm getting a speaker signal, but I'm not getting any music coming out of my speakers! Idk if my rca cables are wrong or if my speaker wires aren't ran correctly or if it's the lc8i. In going to wait untill Monday to call audio control but Jw if anyone can take a look at these pictures and see if things look right, each speaker is ran to it's own channel on the amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandpride684 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Personally I would get rid of the factory amp and use the wires from the input side going into the factory amp. There should be instructions on how to do it in the LC8i manual. Since you are going to be using another amp to power your mids and highs there is no need for the factory amp. Also, you are going to have to open up the LC8i and mess with the switches inside because the signal needs to be summed. There should also be instructions on how to do that too.
