Wiring in an LC2i

So Ive decided Im going to basically redo my sound system (subwoofer area) with more realistic components and better sounding components now that Ive upgraded to the Helix Match component door speakers and a JL amp powering those. Right now I have a 2,000w Hifonics amp pushing 2 alpine type R 12s and its too much for my car and the sound quality isn't fantastic, so Im now going with 2 rockford fosgate P2D2 12s in a sealed box on a JL JX1,000.1d amp. To improve the quality of the signal to the new amp I am using an LC2i instead of the cheap $20 Kicker LOC I used previously. So, my question is, which wires in the factory harness should I splice in to to get signal to the LC2i? It needs the positive and negative for the left and right inputs. Thanks!

I know somebody on here has installed an LC2i in their HiFi system. Help would be greatly appreciated as I have all of my new system components arriving this week and need to know how to correctly wire in my LC2i.

I'm guessing you didn't figure out that an LC2 wasn't needed, at all?

I ran small wires from the power distribution blocks directly to it

I used one as shown in the photo. This was years ago so I cant completely remember, but I think the LC2i was just a much better loc and the sound was super crisp with it so I was happy with my decision.
