[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8854326, member: 689267"] As for your setup, the circled input in that reply is where the LOC (built into the amp) is located. You don’t need a LOC other than that. All you do is take the leads off of a pair of existing speakers (or tap into them from the HU, then run them to the powered sub. The LOC you mentioned is garbage, need it, don’t need it, and don’t get this one. The only thing that the Kicker LOC affords you is the ability to (as is the case with the built in LOC on the sub) tap into speaker wire anywhere there is on (L&R speakers, Frt. or Back), behind the HU or wherever and turn the powered sub on and off without having to run a turn on/off remote power from the HU. If you have a set of rear speakers you can tap into, using the Kicker LOC allows you to tap into those speakers, run them to the amplified sub without the need to take the HU out for anything else. Both configurations (w or w/o) an aftermarket LOC still require you to run power from under the hood (reasonably speaking) back to the powered sub. Here it is in the UK, $35.00, still on the inexpensive side of things. [MEDIA=amazon]id=B07VKFSLKN;tld=uk[/MEDIA] In a nut shell, this aftermarket LOC if you don’t want to pull the HU to use the HU remote turn-on lead, no LOC if you ar able to pull the HU and run the lead yourself.
