Yes sir! I tapped into a front speaker, and it gave me a full range, full time signal. The LC2i givem me a nice strong rca signal (10-12v), and compensates for the lost bass at higher volumes. Its sick!!
If you are just going to install a sub, dont pay for a clean sweep. Just buy one of these, and you are golden.

Damn Sarge looks good, I'm really impressed at the turnaround you gave this car,.. simply amazing. I wanted to thank you for your recomendation on those brake pads as well. I put them on this weekend along with the KW V3's and the breaking is silent, quick, and dustless. Thanks again!

The answer is within my friend!!
Update 2/16/2012
Got my TPMS switched to the new rims, and changed the brake pads to Wearever ceramic. 0 Brake Dust!!!!
The pads were purchased through Advance Autoparts. They were the same as the Mercedes AMG. I read some good reviews on them through serveral boards, and said what the heck. They were $90 for fronts and back. Ill tell you guys, I have been pounding these, and the grip is incredible, no noise what so ever, and absolutley no brake dust on the rims after a 500 mile trip to Orlando and back. I highly recommend them! You cannot go wrong.
Part No. CNAD 1365 Fronts $51.99
Part No. CNAD 1366 Rear $45.99

Yes, its the one that you can order with custom colors.
Yep, I was the first!! Get them on there, it only takesabout 30 minutes forall of them. No need for new rotors unless yours are warped. Thanks for the compliments!

You should post up a Before and After of the ISF. Just to show everyone how good of a job you have done
I want to send my ISF to you along with blank checks and tell you, to go to town LOL. You have good taste.
