I believe the original question has already been anwser in the first 5 post in the thread. No need for Clean Sweep to add IPOD connectivity as PAC will be easier & Cheaper. Also our HU output is flat already which is what Clean sweep is trying to accomplish.

The LC6 is a 6 channel Line Output Converter. It won't do anything for adding an IPOD.

Well i do have an Ipod but i didnt even realize i could hooki it up to either. I was asking on both because im about te get an install of hifonics brutus for 2 punch Power HX2's, alpine 240 for the rest of the speaks and a capacitor with jlaudio amp kit. and they suggest at SOUNDBLAZERS, who i have choosen to be the best around, that I also go with the LC6. They said it would be the real way for install and that it would eliminate any ground noise. and im debating wether its worth it cause its 250 for the thing and additional for install. thoughts? RX

The LC6 is a great unit. It has front, rear and sub output. The reason that I went with it is, I hate the idea if two *****. The cleansweep has one main **** and if you want to use a dedicate sub. amp volume control you would have two. The argument is that you could loop your mid/hi amp to your sub amp, but to get max performance from your amp's you really need to separate it.
We have installed several cleansweeps and have had a pretty good success rate with them. We have debated this topic at the store and doing so will be regularly stocking the LC6/LC8.
Read this months Car Audio and Electronics magazine, they go into detail on this very topic.

Funny I would advise against using the bass **** from your Brutus with a LC6/LC8.
The problem with bass ***** that are sold with amps, the act like a bass booster vs a signal attenuator. The sub amp bass ***** don't turn the gains up and down, which is what you want to avoid distortion/muddy bass. I would suggest using the optional bass **** that is sold with the LC6/LC8 because it will attenuate the sub signal vs boosting it.
Just turn your Brutus' gains to 3/4 level, adjust the level on the LC6/LC8 and you will be in heaven.
The LC7 is a new one for me. I have never heard of that one . Where did you hear about that model from?
