Question for those using JL Audio X300/1 amp

I am planning my amp and sub install and have a question. Excuse me if this is a dumb question. I don't know a lot about car audio.

I see a lot of you using the X300/1 with a LOC, specifically the AudioControl LC2i. Why? The amp says:

The page from Crutchfield says, "speaker- and preamp-level inputs (speaker-level input requires an optional adapter)"

If it accepts speaker level inputs, why do you need an LOC?

Dudemanz,

For me there were two reasons;

1. Remote turn on.. The LC2i will turn on the amp when it senses an audio signal.
2. Since I have a Dynaudio system the LC2i will help replace the bass tones that the factory amp is removing to keep from damaging the factory speaker at high volume.

Hope this helps,
~Staudie

For the base audio system, there is no reason, as I don't think that it cuts back on the bass at high volumes. Not sure if the Dynaudio does, but good a good LOC like LC2i would fix that if it did.

Amps that have a high level input, usually use the same inputs for remote turn-on.
