Type R Sub Replacement

So was thinking about doing the sub+amp switch and the center channel switch.

I noticed towards the end of this thread

OP and other posters started talking about tapping into the driver side mid-woofer for signal to the LC2i instead of the sub. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it noticeably better?

I didn’t tab into the sub. I tapped into the rear speakers and it’s sounds great.

I tried both, initially off the sub signal in the rear and then off the front left/right coming out of the amp in the kick panel. Sound was significantly better using the front speakers as the source. The factory cutoff for the sub is far too low.

In addition, look into Hondahack and Viper4Android. Between the sub/amp upgrade and V4A, I'm very happy with the sound now versus the disappointing stock setup.

Thanks for the heads up guys

Can I ask what the benefit is of tapping both right and left if the LC2i doesn't sum signal?

Both channels go into the amp, the amp sums the signals as I'm running it bridged.

Here's my setup, I custom made the box, and faceplate for my shallow mount jl audio 13tw5. I've got the lc2i, and kicker mono amp mounted underneath. This combo slams, & hits VERRRRY hard & low as I am pushing the whole 600 rms this sub requires.
