Default Arc PSM - LOC or no?

I got what I hope is a great deal from a local dealer on the PSM

My question for the group that's using it is, is there benefit to using a LOC and if so, what brand or model is recommended?

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Going from high level input (stock speaker wire to PSM) to a LOC off the stock speaker wire (to the PSM), definitely use a LOC. It seemed to make things a little more clear sounding.

Is there anything better than the PAC SNI-35 or is it good enough?

Do you use 1 to feed the PSM or use2?
Do you make any adjustments to the loc or leave the factory settings?

I started with 2 so I could have "fade control" and realized how ridiculous that was so I deleted the huge breakout harness and one SNI-35 so now I am running one LOC and the DSP is set for 2 in 6 out. Sounds identical to having two LOCs. No regrets.

I already have a pac, so I'm good there.

I would like to keep the fade control so I ordered 2 . I found the PAC SNI-35 on Amazon for $8 each shipped. I hope to get them on Friday so I can start tinkering with the PSM.

Wouldn't the PAC SNI-15 do the same thing? Is there a need for the adjustable LOC?
