larrys95civic Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 how many volts are your preouts on your head unit and how many volts can your amps handle coming in?

Hugh G. Rection Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 line drivers are great, well the goods ones anyways. anyone who tells you they are a waste of money should go kill themselves. audiocontrol line driver is good stuff.

bass juggernaut Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 the deck puts out 2.5 and im not sure what the amp wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass juggernaut Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 i know it is way less from the deck because it has to go through 16' of RCA's so probly 1volt at the amp lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrys95civic Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 any time you can increase the flow of signal its a good thing, but you don't want to over load it. If you buy a driver that outputs like 12 volts but your amp can only 8 it's a bad thing. don't buy a cheap one, buy a nice one. remember shit in = shit out.

Hugh G. Rection Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 the deck puts out 2.5 and im not sure what the amp wants im curious what the actual RMS voltage is. either way, you could definitely benefit from a line driver.

If you buy a driver that outputs like 12 volts but your amp can only 8 it's a bad thing. thats why you have the option of not turning it up all way.

I know this, but I'm trying to teach the OP to check the specs for his amp.
