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.
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
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
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.
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!😊👍🏻😷
@@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?
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.
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!
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?
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
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
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.
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
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!
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!
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!
What speakers and subs do you recommend to use with this Amp I have a 2019 f350 crew cab with the basic 4' but I'm upgrading to the Linkswell gen IV thank you nice channel.
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? ;-)
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.
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. 💯💯💯
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?
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.
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?
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".
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?
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?
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?
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.
Nice video mate, quick question..How would you wire up factory components seeing as you only have 2 channels for the front? There's 8 wires needed for the front, and only 4 available for output. Thoughts??
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.
I have been watching for a while and love your content. I’ve been wanting to build a system for my car but I not sure what to do with the center channel, how would you go about wiring a center channel? I unplugged the center channel to see how it would sound without it and it definitely makes a difference. This LC.5 is something I’m definitely interested in using but still lost on the center channel. Much love!
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.
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.
Kinda wish I watched this before I did an old school splurge on amazon 🤣 welp, I'm gonna be pushing 4500 watt rms to a 5000 watt rms 15" orion. I think realistically 300 watt rms would have been fine for me and I'd be $3000 richer. $1000 of which went into pure copper alone 😔 whereas this Audio Control eliminates so much wiring redundancy
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 would be game, but add a DSP into the unit, like what JL Audio did with the VXi series and I would be all over it. But by itself, this unit is impressive.
@@CarAudioFabrication Whoa. I'll have to watch that vid when you get it. I'm currently running a Twk-88 (running the toslink cable) and a RD900/5. It sounds great, but like you said, it takes up a bit of real estate. Thanks for the heads up!
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....
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.
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.
AudioControl does make nice stuff: I’m wanting to get their 10channel DSP. Back in the day I ran 3 Alpine V12’s (all class AB) I got them in 96. When I learned more about audio I deleted my rear channels and used one V12 for the Left, one for the right and the other one which was maybe 250 watts RMS bridged for my subs. This amp just reminded me of them bc for the time period those amps had most of the features this one does minus GTO, 5th channel and honestly can’t remember if they had high inputs or not. I always ran RCA’s. I just thought it was cool at the time that I could switch them to mono channel and keep Balance and not have to use fade for balance. Are you still making the “in depth” DSP video? If so, looking forward to seeing it.
Marc, are u a audio control dealer? If so, i need a matrix line driver and a LC2 i think is what its called. Can i get better deals from u verses using ebay for instance. Also, could u read my question i clarified and reasked please. Thanks man, love ur ch btw, out of anyone in car audio, u make the most sense.
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!

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.
Kinda wish I watched this before I did an old school splurge on amazon 🤣 welp, I'm gonna be pushing 4500 watt rms to a 5000 watt rms 15" orion. I think realistically 300 watt rms would have been fine for me and I'd be $3000 richer. $1000 of which went into pure copper alone 😔 whereas this Audio Control eliminates so much wiring redundancy
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 would be game, but add a DSP into the unit, like what JL Audio did with the VXi series and I would be all over it. But by itself, this unit is impressive.
The D version is due within a month! DSP built in!
@@CarAudioFabrication Whoa. I'll have to watch that vid when you get it. I'm currently running a Twk-88 (running the toslink cable) and a RD900/5. It sounds great, but like you said, it takes up a bit of real estate. Thanks for the heads up!
Good Evening , can you make a video on 2 amps and a processor for motorcycle. 6.5 and horns upfront. 4 6x9 in bags. Thanks
Is the audio quality of the audio control lc-5.1300 the same quality as JL audio XDv2 700/5
I'm Very Very New To Car Audio How Would This Amp Do With 4 Beyma 6.5 G40 And A 12"Alpine Type R Sub? Thanks Guys
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....
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 Mark can you do a in-depth video on the audio control 6xs and the pros and cons of it please
That is a bad-ass freaking app
Would u say this better than 800x5 kicker kx amplifier
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.
AudioControl does make nice stuff: I’m wanting to get their 10channel DSP. Back in the day I ran 3 Alpine V12’s (all class AB) I got them in 96. When I learned more about audio I deleted my rear channels and used one V12 for the Left, one for the right and the other one which was maybe 250 watts RMS bridged for my subs. This amp just reminded me of them bc for the time period those amps had most of the features this one does minus GTO, 5th channel and honestly can’t remember if they had high inputs or not. I always ran RCA’s. I just thought it was cool at the time that I could switch them to mono channel and keep Balance and not have to use fade for balance. Are you still making the “in depth” DSP video? If so, looking forward to seeing it.
Can you use only the subwoofer part of a 5 channel amp?
Marc, are u a audio control dealer? If so, i need a matrix line driver and a LC2 i think is what its called. Can i get better deals from u verses using ebay for instance. Also, could u read my question i clarified and reasked please. Thanks man, love ur ch btw, out of anyone in car audio, u make the most sense.
Can you do a C 7 Corvette , Adding a LC 6
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.
