Not the LGDs, just do not feel comfortable with the high impedance of them. Here are the specs on the LGD:
"The Audiocontrol LGD is variable load and applies more resistance in higher frequencies. So it is 2k ohms at 1khz and 39 ohms at 20khz. The LGD20 and LGD60 are straight loads set across the entire frequency band."

We tend to always go overkill, but creates the reliability that makes us who we are. Here are the load resistors we use in these trucks:

@SoundsGoodStereo appreciate the recommendation. to connect those, would i just snip the connectors off and solder them in before the input to the amp?

Exactly, run them inline on each channel

I still haven't had any issues running things without the resistors. Maybe I'm just lucky.

We have an ACM here that we are going to run elaborate testing and see if we can identify the cases where it is needed. For now, we are extra cautious as it's not our vehicle to guess on, it's our clients.
