Has anyone added an amp and sub yet?

Considering picking up a Technic PnP harness and wavtech link2 LOC. Does anyone have experience with this LOC? Hoping to use the remote turn on functionality in the LOC for the amp, so I don't need to mess with the fuse box

Much easier and cheaper to add an amp with a high level speaker input, VS LOC and everything extra. I added mine in less than an hour.

I ended up getting a LC2i Pro which allows for more fine tuning. Equipment (amps specifically) is so cheap these days that cost wasnt a concern, and it took marginally more time to install.
- I have the LOC pre-out voltage adjusted to just under the max of what my amp accepts, so my amp gain is at around 7-8 o’clock, giving it a really clean signal.
- The LC2i Pro compensates for bass reduction that OEM radios apply at higher volumes.
