Hi All,
Just picked up a 2019 Si sedan with the 7" touchscreen and craptacular 8 speaker "upgraded" stereo with dedicated factory subwoofer in the rear deck.
Like other Hondas I've owned, the 'bass' the system puts out is embarrassing. It also sounds like it pulls bass levels as volume increases.
I'm hoping I can address both of these by using my LC2i and adding a 10" JL sub/enclosure in the trunk, but I've got a couple questions...
1. Should I feed the LC2i from the audio source feeding the factory sub? Typically I've fed in L/R speaker sources, but I'm guessing the factory system doesn't send much if any bass to the speakers and I'm not sure if the LC2i could decode the signals properly.
1a. Should I disconnect the rear sub when adding my own if I'm feeding the LC2i from the speakers?
2. Is there a switched power source I can use as a remote for the LC2i? It may be smart enough to recognize when the stereo goes on... not sure yet.
3. Anything else I should know?
