Overview
The LC-1.800 accepts both speaker-level and preamp inputs, giving it a wide input voltage range. AccuBASS corrects factory bass roll-off and heavy EQ curves, so your subwoofer performs as intended regardless of the source unit. MILC Maximum Input Level Control manages clipping at the input stage, keeping the signal clean before it reaches your sub.
Built on a solid one-piece aluminium chassis, it pairs with the optional ACR-1 remote for convenient level adjustment from the driver's seat. If you need a high-to-low converter to integrate with a factory system, AudioControl's LC2i is a natural companion.

About the AudioControl LC-1.800
From our tech experts at CEN
The AudioControl LC-1.800 is a mono subwoofer amplifier from the LC range, delivering 800W RMS at 2 ohms and 500W RMS at 4 ohms. It features AudioControl's patented AccuBASS, which corrects bass roll-off caused by factory head units. Speaker-level inputs handle up to 40Vrms, allowing straightforward integration with OEM systems.
Who it suits
This suits anyone with a factory head unit who wants proper subwoofer performance without an external converter. MILC keeps the input signal clean when source levels vary. For higher output, consider the AudioControl EPIC1000.
Our tech experts advise
Use at least 4 AWG power and ground cable to match the 2 x 40A fuse rating. The optional ACR-1 remote allows subwoofer level adjustment from the driver's seat without accessing the boot. The Linkwitz-Riley crossover is adjustable from 30 Hz to 230 Hz to suit most subwoofer drivers. Fitting costs vary by vehicle; speak to our Nottingham installation team for a quote.
