ok any one looking to do there stereos in there cars I have come to the conclusion

that the LC6 - LC8 wich ever is the best sollution for our cars, I have had

the 3.sixty installed in my car up till a couple days ago, and now my stereo

is screaming louder than ever.

I found out our standard stereos put out a low speaker signal so when we put

this into a 3sixty it does not give us a strong signal to get the most out of our

stereo, I put the lc6 in and all you do is plug it in adjust the gain levels you require,

tune your speakers from your amp with the frequency level, and your done

not one of us here can the difference of tuning a 30 band eqaulizer it to much, to

hard. my stereo absolutely cranks like rattles other ppls mirrors in there car, before

it would barely rattle mine, and was not from a lack of trying to tune it, or getting it tuned

tried it all, got lc6 perfect, so anyone that wants hassel free excellent results for a good price

get yourself a audiocontrol LC6

that's my 2 cents lol

Mate, glad you are happy with the change over...

One thing but not to sure what you were trying to say when you wrote: "not one of us here can the difference of tuning a 30 band eqaulizer it to much, to hard."

Having said that, the LC6 had a slightly different build design, to that of the 360 in the way it is designed to work.

While they are both line converters, the 360 is - as you have also said, a 30 band equalizer for tuning of the system...

I'm a little concerned and very surprised that the difference you are saying is so dramatic, however maybe you had a faulty unit...

Anyways in short, glad your happy with you new purchase...

And if anyone wants one that is brand new in packaging check out my for sale ad or pm me.

Only selling as changed plan by installing a dvd head unit.

Was told by Stratfield that this is the only real way of adding amps , Subs and speakers running from head unit.

I was only going to buy a cheap line convertor and was talked out of it.

I would say that your 3sixty wasnt setup right. out of the dozens I have fitted I havent had a problem with low signals coming out of one.

When I first read the thread I was going to buy the lc6, but now I'm back to square 1. To those who have used the lc6 .. is there a "big" difference in sound quality from the stock stereo.

Go talk to a expert audio installer as I did, I was told the LC6i was the best signal convertor on the market

to convert the line signals.

Dont just talk to one go talk to a few, look for some audio forums or feedback from other web sites.

It is a 6 channel convertor, so you can run the correct signals to the amps for which speakers you want to run.

Only other better way is to run a external head unit as I am currently fitting.

Worst thing about using the external is I will lose the use of the steering wheel audio controls.

I have to look into the wheel audio controls as I think I have seen somewhere someone saying there is a way to

still use them.

not interested though if I have to hack into any harness or the ICC to have the audio wheel controls function with my

dvd player.

Just put up with having to use the head units controls.

cant wait till I get the time to finish my install.

JVC DVD Head unit - USB & Ipod connection

6.5" comp series componant Clarion speakers front and rear.

I have had both in my car now and I love the lc6, the 3sxty worked fine it just did not give me the full power out of my

amps correct me if I'm wrong but there is no gain control on 3sixty there is on the lc6, which compensates for

the lower signal outs that the ba gives, the 3sixty pushes out 5v to your rca leads which is controlled by the signal your

car gives out when you turn volume knob, now with a lower siganl you don't reach ths, the lc6 punches out upto 9v to rca which

compensates for the low signal which gives you more oomf out of your amps,

I loved the 3sixty when I got it had it in for a year, thought it ws amazing and still is, but there just to much in it

for me personally and I not a dumb sh*t with stereos and electronics and stuff, I just know I changed over and now it thumps

like a 1000w rms mono block and 2 13;5 inch jl w3's should in a ute

the 3sixty does have level controls between the input rca plugs. these work for the high-level input as well. any amp will make full power with as little at 1 volt input. that's what the gain control is for.

If you have a week signal it is harder to get quality from it.

The better the signal the better the quality.

Eg. you can have the best and greatest home theater set up but if your tv signal being received is

weak it wont make great out put quality.

This maybe why sickd is saying he has a lot more umph from his system.

Your only going to push the volume to a point where it is starting to distort then back it off a tad.

also when you have cleaner signals at the right frequency to suit speaker type you can

make more volume by using more volume as the distortion level has been raised due to

cleaner more suited frequencies.

Difference between standard stereo and LC6 is night and day.. Assuming you have added amps and subs etc... Pointless if you running an LC6 with the fastory setup..
