I would still test to see if the spot they used is a good ground. After that I would check to see how the LC7i is set and make sure its set by the book.


Looking at my LC7i, the connected to main channel lights are not on for some reason.

When I was reading about the lc7i I don't think you need the other outputs connected to the main channel if you have a input going in to channel 2.

Channel 3 will come from channel 2 with automode on

I think you need them connected to the main channel if you only have one set of inputs. But that's just what I thought it was saying but I could be wrong

how high are you turning up your gain before it shuts off?
what model subs are you using?

Subs are JL TW1's. Sub gain doesn't make the amp shut off. It's the gain for the mids and tweets that will make it shut off. If I turn it up past 1/3rd of the way, it will shut the amp down.it sucks because the bass sounds good but the mids and tweets get drowned out. The mids and tweets are Kenwood.

Have you tried disconnecting all of the Mids/Tweets from the amp and reconnecting them one by one? May have a short to/in one of the speakers.

OP if you have the "basic 8.4an (no alpine)" how did the hook up for load resistance? how did they hook up for this? if they went directly from the deck to an lc7 that could be part of the issue. the chrysler decks need to see a load if they dont they can clip and not play

Is there a proper way to use the LC7, I have the same setup "basic 8.4an (no alpine)" and am planning on installing this weekend.

Yup. Follow the instructions!! They lay it out pretty good.

Haha great, I keep hearing whispers about terminating the factory speaker leads to varying amounts of resistor to present a load to the 8.4 head unit. I'm hoping I can just cut in to get my signal and not have to worry about it.
