teamace24 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have a friend who has a 2010 Equinox Chevy whos really into the whole edm thing and wants to upgrade his stock system. However, he wants to keep his stock radio and frankly that has never worked for me and have only attempted to keep a stock radio like once. The problem is that when I would raise the volume, the systems bass would actually start sounding weaker and just have a weird sounding bass. I want to attempt his system with the help from you guys about what I need to buy to make his stock radio work well with aftermarket amplifiers. I want to buy something proven to work very well and not overly expensive.

islandpride684 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Or a DSP depending on what his budget is...

teamace24 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 What's a dsp? Budget is no more than $100 so the audiocontrol is looking good. I researched a little and it seems audiocontrol has different versions of the one posted here and I was wondering if I just want 4 channel and a bass amp, if that one will do the job. I'm mainly looking for something that prevents the stock unit from lowering the bass signal when I turn it up like the cheap locs still allow. Also if anybody owns or knows equinox or terrain trucks, i will appreciate advice on putting a system in it.

teamace24 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm trying to install both a highs amplifier and a mono for the bass. Well the lc2i still do this or do I have to go lc7i? What is the difference from the two?

What is the difference from the two? Thanks. Yes the LC2i will have two outputs...use the fixed output for the highs and use the variable output for the sub amp...if you go on there website, there is a chart that compares all of them side by side, click on oem integration on the left side, scroll down and it should be there...

As long your source is the stock radio it will continue to do that unless your able to tap into the stock hu processor to change those settings Not sure if what they have recomnded will help bypass the stock hu settings Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
