I’m in the exact same position. Want to do my own system but it’s been 30 years since I’ve been involved in the stock so much has changed my heads about to explode.
I just bought a 5 channel amp for my son's truck. Upgrading his sound system for Christmas. It's a 2009 suburban and I'm replacing the door speakers, front pillar tweeters, factory radio, and adding two 10" Subs with this amp. So I'll be wiring the door speakers to this amp as well as the subs. Never done that before, but the salesman told me it would definately improved sound quality and volume rather than connecting them to the radio only. I guess I'll found out. First sound system I've installed in over 25 years. I've been kind of giddy like a teenager lately when trying to plan it.
Am from trinidad n watching your vidoes save me money 😊 and it makes me confident in myself to install car music for the first time I will ..comment again after my success
Back in the 90's I used audio control crossover for all my installs. I always made friends envious because they would run same amplifiers but couldn't get my sound quality. They couldn't figure out why because it was installed under passenger seat and didn't know it was controlling my amplifiers. Lol
My uncle and I have been hanging out and bonding over car audio lately. We are both sort of new to the real technical aspects of tuning the equipment and vehicle for getting the most out of a amp and speakers/sub. Thank you for all of the awesome lessons and information that you put out there and thank you to the guys over on patreon that let guys like me see it for free! This amp got my uncle and I super hype about our next build together and we can’t wait to get our hands on one. Best wishes to you and your family man hope y’all are safe. (PS super super jealous of you dads set up seeing that come together was a real treat!)
Audio Control made the best EQ for car audio back in the day. Their offerings now are even better than back then. Lots of flexibility means you really need to pay attention to what you are doing. Glad we have Mark to guide us. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
A solid choice for an all in one amp. I recently upgraded my car and tried using my previous amp but found out quickly that the start/stop feature on many new cars plays havoc with older amps.
@@CarAudioFabrication hey a have a question about the high output.. im a lil confused about what it does.. are the factory speakers getting the power from the amp??? Or just getting the same power from the factory?????
@@CarAudioFabrication me and my friend have Honda Accords and we are experiencing some weird stuff with this amp. We are using Inputs 1&2 only and summing. We are pulling off the front door outputs which is full range. If switched to separate obviously you loose output on 3&4 since you're not summing but the 1&2 outputs get twice as loud with much more bass. When summing it's not loud at all and the sound lacks that full warm sound. I'm surprised nobody is talking about it. Your thoughts?
I too, have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this 5 channel amp, ever since you mentioned it in one of your former vids from last summer. Thanks for that, and for this!
this channel has the best video for car audio related stuff, video quality top notch, what I hate is no price mention in the video for any item shown specially audio control stuff, we all know the most important thing is money.
Prices change too much. I'm not going to make a video immediately obsolete. People might watch this in a year and the price may be different. Pretty simple to understand and common for videos.
To those saying this is expensive; not really. You'd have to run an amp for mids/highs + another separate amp for the subs, plus your LOC, even a cheaper LC2i would still run you over $600, assuming you're using quality amps with true advertised RMS output. This is an extra $50-100 to have it all in one package. Cleaner, and easier to install. This is a nice ass amp. Wish I knew about this sooner. But Audio control makes great products
@@CarAudioFabrication I have a question looking to replace some scars been shopping and reading reviews but clueless.Been looking at American bass XR 12s 4 ohm, gravity G7 war zone 12s, harmony mil12D2,and Toro force 12s 2ohm as well my question is which you prefer as sound quality and last for under 400$ a pair and can they be wired down to 4 ohm to run on a mono channel 1 ohm amp
Man youre a friggin car audio nerd lol. I started doing installs when i was 19 (im 39) and I thought i knew something. Well come to find out, i did, but there was alot of stuff i had no clue about. 💯💯💯
I have a Pioneer 5 Channel amplifier for past 2 years. Paid only $260 at the time! Had no issue. Running 4-channel 600RMS and one 12 inch sub rated at 500 RMS. I never ran on the maximum. Because I never set gains on the maximum what it can output. But when i crank my sub knob on max all my windows vibrating
I currently am running a separate 8 band eq. I am going to purchase a dsp. My question is "am I benefiting any if I use my eq and the dsp or can I take out the eq all together and use the dsp. I have seen videos on how to wire an eq to a dsp but seems kind of pointless if dsp has a 30 band eq on it. BTW love the channel and all the great info and tips you give. Thank Yuo for taking the time covering everything in such detail.
Do the tweeters get their own amp? Do they work with the midrange signal from the amp? Im confused. Also, why did you later add the subwoofer channel input? Is it better that way than from the one input signal?
Your Disk of tones was : Track 1: 40Hz at -10dB or 40Hz at -5dB or 40Hz at -0dB ? Track 2: 1kHz at -5dB or 1kHz at -0dB ? Your video are Great. Thank you
Wish my 14year old Audison would have this clipping diodes and the accury bass would not hurt it but is not a must have. Other wise I actually think it have the same features.. But those clipping/destortion light at truly awesome
If you turn down the gain, will the amplifier require less amps from the battery? I drive a hybrid and it has a small accessory battery since the electric motor turns over the engine. 120amps would fry the battery, but this amp would suit my needs perfectly with less power draw.
This amp can run speakers at 2 ohm full load (what the fuses on it are rated for). If you ran your speakers at 4 ohm (which is the most likely case anyhow) it's unlikely to be drawing the full 120 amps. Gain control can technically be turned down to limit power after it's been set correctly.
Dude! a Bandpass Xover would kick ass on my Inifinty 6.5s! I have vintage Adcom amps but they're underpowered compares to this so I better start doing some overtime at work! This thing kills!
We just wired the remote to the cigarette lighter, cuz it only worked when the car was on. Actually my head unit didn't have a remote output but where theirs a will theirs a way.
Hi Mark. Thanks for vids man! What if my source MLIC light does not illuminate when playing 40hz tone and turning up Vol slowly? I hit full Vol on HU and no light. Brand new Lc 51300 everything else works fine.
I have 2 3-way component speakers (Audison APK 163) for the front and back. I also have a Audison APBX 10 AS2 Prima Subwoofer. What is the best amplifier for this set-up of 12 total speakers and a subwoofer?
Ever since I bought my first audio control product back in the 80s, the epicenter, I’ve loved their products. Does the remote level control allude to the epicenter where the amp acts as a filter to remove flutter in the sub so they aren’t dancing around with no human audible sound?
13:30 I don't get it, are your speakers rated at 100w? As this amp puts out 4x100 @ 4 ohms, and if you're maximizing those channels, shouldn't you in theory be blowing those speakers unless they're rated to take 100w? I'm a noob, help me pls.
Not sure that I’ll hear anything because this is an old post but I installed an LC 5.1300 in my vehicle the other day it’s a great amp. I took the OEM speakers out. Replaced them with new speakers. I’m still using the factory harness and I have a pack camp pro is the output line converter, my question is when I went to the gains the amplifier allowed me to turn it all the way up without having the light come on any channel. Does this mean that I need a load resistor?
Mark, Installing the AudioControl LC-5.1300 in my aluminum F-150. Best ground option? Also, it has the B&O Play center channel dash speaker. Do you have a video on how to incorporate this into an amplified system? TIA!
Trying to help my son put in a 12" sub that he bought and keep the standard head unit that came with his car. This looks awesome for that..... except for the $900 price tag. Got anything that will work for a LOT less money? ;-)
Better settings possibilities and higher power than a HD900/5 or PDX V9. Probably I will never buy a $800 amplifier, but i just like watching your videos anyway. Best regards.
So if I have a amp do I need sub woofers ? All the wiring is installed in my car already and could I just hook up the amp myself if the wiring is there?
I never got a green light. What does that mean? Plugged in my 3/4 channel (100w RMS 2way kicker 6X9s) and slowly upped the volume and had no issues. Can’t go all the way up as my ears start bleeding at 25/35.
I have a JL Audio RD900 5 channel amp . But my speakers sound distorted? Local shop did the installation . What settings would best ? Current setup Subwoofer is at 80hz And Speakers are at 80hz ??? What would make the speakers produce clean notes and the bass is OK it could be better its a W6 SUBWOOFER Front speakers are C5 JL Audio Rear speakers are c2 jl audio Thanks....
I just purchased a beautifull 2004 cadillac cts with a bose system and a stock head unit. Would you recommend this to add more sound to my system? I do have an 8in stock "sub".
Hopefully you can see my comment and answer my question but I had just installed my subs and for some reason my subs sounds louder inside the car rather than outside and I’m tryna to figure out what to do so I can hear it louder outside of the car
Hi, I'm looking to buy this amp/dsp but not sure which one to get. I have 3-way components in the front, and coaxial in the rear, and a powered subwoofer that I'm planning to replace in the near future. It seems like I have 9 channels in my car. Should I get the LC.6-1200 or LC.5-1300? Thank you very much for the information!
Do you need to use the crossovers that come with component speakers like the Focal ES 165K2 when using this amp or are the crossover capabilities duplicated by the DSP on this amp?
What speakers and how many ohms match well with a factory stock unit? My factory head unit has all that I need including bluetooth, usb, and steering wheel controls, I just need to replace the stock speakers. I also have a powered sub.
So if I were to use a 4 channel amp at 45W RMS per channel, use two channels to run one 50W RMS speakers a piece and bridge two channels to run one 120W sub, it would sound okay? I have a 2 seater that only has 2 front speakers and a small sub from factory and I'm trying to keep this configuration for ease of installation.
Hey brother! Great job. Any idea when the DSP version is coming out? Also my new deck doesn’t play CD’s any idea how and where I can find those test tones you were using? Please and thank you
I use an app called “Signal Generator”. It allows you to choose between 4 or 5 bands of frequencies choosing any frequency you like at 0db default, but with options of decreasing dB by up to at least 20. I have Car Play so if my phone is plugged in via USB it’ll play like that or you can use aux or Bluetooth if it came down to it.
This amp is missing a Toslink Fiber Optic input, but I can see where this can be a good option especially with what I assume is a Bluetooth add-on feature if you don't have it already on your headunit.
When using the sum feature, are you distributing the power out put from the one channel to the others or are they combining the full power output to the channels?
Would something like this work with the factory sync 3 system in my 2020 Explorer? Would most installers have access to this and know how to install it properly or do I need to look for only a high end place? Does Audio Control have a list of recommend installers? Sorry for all the questions, just not a lot of info online on my vehicle.
It hooks up like any amp. If you go to any reputable installer, they should have no problem installing this amp. The tuning is fairly straight forward and you can follow the instruction in this video to do that yourself if they don't set that properly.
Thanks for tuning in guys! You can purchase the AudioControl LC-5.1300 below!

Would something like this work with the factory sync 3 system in my 2020 Explorer? Would most installers have access to this and know how to install it properly or do I need to look for only a high end place? Does Audio Control have a list of recommend installers? Sorry for all the questions, just not a lot of info online on my vehicle.
It hooks up like any amp. If you go to any reputable installer, they should have no problem installing this amp. The tuning is fairly straight forward and you can follow the instruction in this video to do that yourself if they don't set that properly.
