Ever since I modded my exhaust, I didn't bother with a sound system.....often times I lower my music just to hear my exhaust...every time I drive I'm at a crossroads like "not sure if listen to exhaust or blast music". For me the ML is loud enough to drown out exhaust noise.
I'm a quality + quantity guy when it comes to car audio. I like it sound good, but I want it to bump n thump when the dial gets turned to the far end.

I don't want to take out the ML Sub, is there any way to easily disconnect it without removing the rear seat?

To answer your question, yes you disconnect the sub without pulling the back seat. Just pull the subwoofer grill cover off. then pull the remaining portion of the rear deck up and enough to expose the subwoofer. To the left you will see the a white clip, unplug it and BOOM it's disconnected! I used that clip for my sub signal as there is a little hole to pull it back into the trunk space.
If you got any questions just shoot me a PM. It's a very simple install.

Bought a sub internally amplified which also includes an internal converter.

General consensus across the board seems like there is an advantage to tapping into both the front door speakers and the subwoofer. Since there's only two areas to tap into on this setup, anybody see an issue with tapping into one of the front door speakers and the subwoofer directly into the amp in hopes of getting the fuller range?
Otherwise sounds like a LOC like the Scoshe 4 channel will be necessary and then just run some RCA's to the amp.

Ahh gotcha, that makes sense. I will just tap into the sub signal then and see how it sounds. If I feel it's lacking, I will then get an adjustable external LOC and tap into the front woofers as well.
Thanks for clarifying that, I had missed that part in all my reading last night.

Well, I'll eat my words about the LC6i. I got it sounding crystal clear. No hiss anywhere now. It just needs to be rubbed the right way which can be a bit frustrating. The level-matching has to be spot on between it and the amp. I also had the issue of the only getting high frequencies to the sub. The LC6i has an automode that will take the channel 2 frequencies and put them to the channel 3 frequencies if theres no signal in channel 3. Turns out the sub signal from the ML amp was not strong enought for the LC6i to detect, therefore it was sending in the channel 2 signals. I emailed AudioControl about this issue and here's what they told me to do: see photo.
Haven't done this yet, but right now, just using the scosche LOC it's sounds perfect, however the LC6i will allow some more power to the sub, which I think it lacks just a bit right now. So, in conclusion, the LC6i can be outstanding....if you know what the heck you're doing. I didn't.
