Frequently Asked Questions - LC-5.1300 AudioControl

What size fuse does the LC-5.1300 require?
The amplifier requires an 80A fuse (AGU or MAXI type). Use proper gauge power wire (4 AWG recommended).
Can I bridge channels on this amplifier?
Bridging is not recommended on this model. The 5-channel design allows you to run fronts, rears, and a subwoofer directly. For more power, use higher impedance speakers.
What is the recommended speaker impedance for the subwoofer channel?
The subwoofer channel is stable down to 2 ohms (mono). For full-range channels, use 4-8 ohms.
How do I adjust the gain correctly?
Set all filters and bass boost to flat. Turn the gain to minimum. Play a clean 50Hz tone (or 1kHz for full-range) at 3/4 volume on the head unit. Increase gain until you hear distortion, then back off slightly. Use an oscilloscope or distortion detector for best results.
What are the dimensions of the LC-5.1300?
The amplifier measures approximately 12.2 x 2.1 x 7.5 inches (WxHxD). Ensure adequate space for ventilation.
Does it have a remote wire power-on feature?
Yes, the amplifier uses a remote turn-on wire (typically blue) that connects to the head unit's remote output. It requires 12V to power on.
What size power wire should I use?
For the 80A fuse, use 4 AWG power and ground wire for runs up to 20 feet. Ensure proper grounding to bare metal chassis.
Can I use this amplifier with a factory head unit?
Yes, the LC-5.1300 has high-level inputs (speaker wire inputs) that accept factory speaker outputs up to 40V peak. Use the included harness or optional line output converters.
What kind of protection does the amplifier have?
The amplifier includes thermal, overcurrent, DC offset, and short circuit protection. It will shut down temporarily if conditions exceed safe limits.
How do I set the subsonic filter?
Set the subsonic filter to 15-20 Hz for ported enclosures to prevent over-excursion. For sealed enclosures, you can set it lower (15 Hz) or bypass it.

Quick Start Guide

  1. Power LED – If you have connected your battery power, vehicle ground, and turn-on lead (or GTO signal sensing) correctly, then this light should be green to indicate the power is ON.
  2. Protection LED – The amplifier has built-in diagnostic codes to tell you exactly what is going wrong should the amplifier detect a problem. See page 15 for a list of diagnostic codes.
  3. GTO Signal Sense – In the ON position, the LC-5.1300 amplifier will turn on gracefully when it detects an incoming audio signal on inputs 1 and 2, and it will turn off after a period of time when the audio signal fades away to silence. Turn this OFF if using the remote power terminal (see item 3 above) turn on method.
  4. Front High Level – Adjusts the Front High speaker-level input levels, to achieve a nice balance in levels.
  5. HP Crossover Frequency – Selects the HP crossover point to match your speakers and system. Channel 1 and 2 outputs will receive the frequency range above the frequency selected. Use the crossover range switch (16) to select the range from 30 to 300 Hz, or from 500 Hz to 5 kHz. The crossover for channels 1/2 is high-pass only.
  6. Crossover Range – Use this switch to select the range of the HP crossover frequency control (15) from 30 to 300 Hz, or from 500 Hz to 5 kHz.
  7. Mono/Stereo - Amplifiers 1 and 2 can be joined in mono to power a single more powerful speaker (4 Ohm minimum).
  8. Gain Control - Adjusts the overall 1 and 2 output levels.

  9. 1/2 and 3/4 Bus Sum – This sums the 1/2 and 3/4 inputs together. So two inputs (L/R) can feed four outputs (2L/2R).

  10. HP Crossover Frequency – Selects the HP crossover point to match your speakers and system (if the crossover switch (24) is set to HP). The channel 3/4 outputs will receive the frequency range above the frequency selected. If the crossover switch is set to bandpass, then this selects the top frequency of the band.
  11. Crossover Type HP/Bandpass – The crossover of channels 3/4 can be selected as a high-pass or bandpass type. For example, bandpass is super for bi-amping your speakers, with channels 1/2 high pass for tweeters, and channels 3/4 bandpass for mid-range.
  12. LP Crossover Frequency – Selects the lower frequency of the band to match your speakers and system (only if the crossover type switch (24) is set to bandpass). The channel 3/4 outputs will receive the frequency range selected by the HP and LP controls.
  13. Mono/Stereo - Amplifiers 1 and 2 can be joined in mono to power a single more powerful speaker (4 Ohm minimum).
  14. Gain Control - Adjusts the overall 3 and 4 output levels.
  15. 3/4 and 5/6 Bus Sum – This sums the 3/4 and 5/6 inputs together. So two inputs (L/R) can feed four outputs (2L/2R).
  16. AccuBASS ^® – Enables/disables the AccuBASS ^® circuit for output 5. The AccuBASS ^® has its own controls to work wonders on the lower bass of the output.

AudioControl®

Making Good Sound Great™

  1. AccuBASS ^® Threshold – Selects the level at which the AccuBASS ^® will begin to work.
  2. AccuBASS ^® Level – Adjusts the level of the AccuBASS ^® .
  3. Crossover Frequency – Selects the LP crossover point to match your speakers and system. The channel 5 output will receive the frequency range below the frequency selected.
  4. Gain Control - Adjusts the overall 5 output levels.
  5. LEDs:

MILC™ Source Clip LED – The MILC™ (Maximum Input Level Control) patent-pending level-setting circuit prevents clipping and damaging distortion. It calculates when the waveform of an incoming audio signal on input 1 and 2 is clipping, and if it is, this LED will fulfill its prime objective and shine forth.

With this advanced feature, you are able to optimize the level of the incoming audio signals until the Source Clip LED is just-prior to lighting. If the LED comes on during normal operation, you should adjust the level of the audio signals before they reach the LC-5.1300.

Gain Maximized LEDs - These LEDs indicate when the LC-5.1300 amplifier gain for channels 1/2, 3/4 , and 5 has been maximized for optimum performance.

AccuBASS® and ACR-1 Notes

AccuBASS®

The AccuBASS is applied to the input signal that feeds the output of Channel 5. When set to Sum, the input signal for Channel 5 will be whatever is being received as the Channels 3/4 input. Which, if that is set to Sum, then the input signal will be 1/2.

ACR-1 remote

The ACR-1 remote level control affects the level of the signal after the AccuBASS circuit, and the ACR-1 effects Channel 5 output.

The long-awaited moment when "plethora" is used in a manual

The plethora of LC-5.1300 controls allows for a wide variety of installation possibilities. This quick start guide gives a few examples of system diagrams, and includes a few notes about the control settings for each one.

Note: The technical writer reserves the right to be wrong about things, due to the cold medicine being the night-time sleepy stuff, and not the usual day-time strength.

Quick Start

Here are a few general steps to get your LC-5.1300 amplifier up and running:

  1. Undo the +12V and Ground connections to the car battery before making any connections to the amplifier.
  2. Pick a mounting location that will provide access to the controls and connections, provide adequate ventilation, and also protect the amplifier from heat, moisture, and dirt. Make sure the ventilation slots on the sides are not blocked, and that the heatsink fins are not covered.
  3. The LC-5.1300 amplifier needs to be securely mounted using the four mounting holes located in each corner.
  4. Before drilling any holes, take every precaution to prevent any damage to fuel lines, power and other electrical wiring, hydraulic brake lines, and other systems, that might compromise vehicle safety.
  5. When making connections, designate red RCA plugs as right, and designate white, black, or grey plugs as left. This is a good idea for consistency.
  6. Use quality interconnect cables.
  7. Connect the +12V input terminal of the unit to the +12V terminal of the vehicle battery, using 4 to 0 AWG.

  8. Connect the Ground terminal of the unit to the chassis of the vehicle, using the same wire gauge as the +12V power wire.

  9. Connect the remote power terminal of the unit to the remote turn-on switch of your source unit. Alternatively, you can skip this connection and use the GTO Signal sensing.
  10. Connect your audio inputs to the unit – either speaker-level or line-level RCA... not both.
  11. Run the ACR-1 remote to the front of the vehicle to adjust the level on the fly.
  12. Connect your loudspeakers (2 Ohm stereo, 4 Ohm Bridged minimum load).
  13. When all connections are made, reconnect the vehicle battery.
  14. Adjust your input source gain using the MILC Source Clip LED. This will indicate if the incoming audio signals are clipping.
  15. Set the LC-5.1300 crossovers to the frequency recommended by the loudspeaker manufacturer.
  16. Adjust the LC-5.1300 CH 5 AccuBass controls to suit. The ACR-1 adjusts the overall output level.
  17. Enjoy the drive!

LC-5.1300

Head Unit Remote Amplifier +12V Trigger +12V Ground

Head Unit +12V Ground LC-5.1300 turns on using GTO on inputs 1 and 2 Remote terminal on LC-5.1300 now acts as a trigger out +12V trigger output to trigger-on an external amplifier

In this example, the head unit has a +12V trigger output that is connected to the LC-5.1300's remote input terminal. When the head unit is turned on, it will turn on the LC-5.1300 amplifier.

Use 4 to 0 AWG insulated wire for the +12V and Ground connections.

In this example, the GTO signal sense feature can be used to gently turn on the LC-5.1300 amplifier when an audio input signal is detected on inputs 1 and 2. In this case, the LC-5.1300's remote input terminal becomes a +12V trigger out to remotely turn on a power amplifier for example.
