Loc before or after amplifier.

[duggiesnali]

I have an 06 yukon xl denali. I installed and planet audio anarchy 2500 and 2 Cadence solo bass 12's with the factory head unit. They dont seem to be hitting like they should. I spliced my wires for my loc under the door seal to the rear speakers. They barely hit at all with the auto volume off and with it on the volume goes up and down....would it be better to splice it before the amp? Any advice would help. Thanks in advance

No you can't use a LOC before the amp on the LUX Bose systems. The reason it doesn't hit is because the door speakers are EQ'd to only play down to a certain frequency where the OEM sub takes over, and then more than likely it also is EQ'd to only play so low. You'll get better resaults by tapping into the sub signal, but to get it to play properly you're going to need one of the LUX specific converters that can interpret the signals from the HU, and provide proper full range outputs.
