Not always the case though.

I'd rather a deck that outputs a good signal with a low voltage than a high powered one with a crap signal.

If Pyle came out with a radio that had 8v preouts, would you buy it over one of Alpine's 2v decks?

An issue with high voltage headunits is not all amps go high enough to match. If your deck is 5v and the amp with the gain all the way down is 2v for example, you'll clip when you turn up the volume.

What about the hu I'm getting?? Is it good? No clipping? I'm using a apsm-1300

You'll be fine as long as you properly set the gain.

Basically what I'm describing is the exact same thing that happens when you turn the gain up too high. Its just in this case you can't get the gain low enough.

You can clip virtually ANYTHING if you're a dumbass with gain settings.

4v pre-outs just mean you don't turn you gains up as much to match your head unit . At least that's my understanding.

Your subwoofer amp gets a stronger input so it doesn't have to be turned up as high to meet the same output. Allows for more power with a lowered chance for clipping because you're not stressing the amp as hard.

Lol, more power from higher input voltage. If that was true we would all use a line driver and boost it to 10 volt. The amp isnt stressed more when turning up the gain and keeping wattage equal.

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Well I gave it a shot... Disregard what I said pit bull. It was not my intention to give you bad info. My bad. And pyle is exactly that a Pyle of shit IMO. But anyway get the DD-1 to set your gains and you can't go wrong.
