Lc6I Help

[kevo]

Hey guys,

Im confused and frustrated!

I am installing a whole system to my ute and seem to be having an issue with the LC6i.

I am getting the power light on but nome of the connected to main channel lights!

The earth is sanded back to metal and bolted to the floor along wiith the 4 channel amp ground lead, all speaker wires are directed into the unit in correct positions (I have checked that they are all working too by using the old ford speaker as a check), power is coming from the cigarette power with a 1 amp inline fuse.

past this poing I am getting only rear speaker output, but evenb then shouldn't the 'connected to main channel" light be lit up on the rear speaker chanel on the LC6i?

Any help would be much appriciated, I am driving to Kalgoorlie from Perth tomorrow and at the moment it is going to be a very quiet drive.......... f*ck!!!!!!!!!

I have an LC6, not the LC6i.

Do you have +12v going to the remote on?

Are the balance and fader settings on the factory system set to the rear speakers only? May have been left that way after setting it up.

Is the level control for the front channels turned up enough?

Is the wiring connected between the amp and front speakers? (do the speakers work from the factory headunit when bypassing the LC6i and Amp using the wiring that runs from the amp to the speakers).

I've downloaded the manual and I don't think the "connected to main channel" light should light up if you are using the "Main Input" and "Channel 2", as this needs to be turned on by jumpers under the cover, which is turned off from factory. This is a guess as I haven't played with an LC6i yet.

I would wire it up with the factory fronts going to "Main Input Speaker Level L+R" and the rears to "Channel 2 Speaker Level L+R". Leave the RCA's unplugged and run the factory system to about 20-24 and turn up the output level dial until the "Maximized light starts to flicker."

Sorry if I'm telling you things you've done but it's hard to explain in writing.

My money would be on something simple like the balance / fader being turned down at the front only because I've done it myself.

The connected to main lights will only light up if you have pulled the unit apart and changed the jumpers to copy the front output to the rears. Just sell the thing and get a Rockford fosgate 360.1. Those lc6i things are junk

Thanks Kinggee,

turns out you were right, the lights are not supposed to come on the way I have wired it up and the reasen I had no audio was because the speaker amp was set to high pass filter instead of low pass filter! 2 hours checking wiring and it all come down to a flick of two switches!

The system sounds excellent now, it is obvious why the LC6i has a good reputation now!

Thanks for your help sicklaser, I did not pull it apart hence the no lights on the main channel, no I think ill keep the LC6i.
