Masterbasser Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Never messed with line drivers or processor but soon I will be running another 4 channel and another 5k and Im wondering what I should be using to get decent voltage to the rca inputs on the amps. this would bring amp total up to 4 amps, but expandability to run a 5th amp would be nice I am not looking to break the bank but to be honest I have no idea which brands I should even be looking at or what I should even be looking for. was out of car audio for about 8 years until last year.

Masterbasser Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Posted April 28, 2016 cockbox just looks like a splitter basically? wouldnt that just splt the voltage?

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 It looks like a big fat splitter to me. Maybe use a line driver with it. If the Cock box had attenuators on the outputs then the whole system could be tweaked from one spot. I don't know if someone makes a DSP with enough channels for you. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon)
reedal Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 What's the preout on your HU? If it's 4 or 5 volts then you can use a cockbox and not worry about the voltage loss. But if you're looking for greater active control, then a DSP would be what you want. What exactly are you looking for besides capability of running 4-5 amps, with minimal voltage loss?

Why would you need a line driver? Don't your amps have gain knobs specifically made for that purpose? Don't worry about voltage, splitter=parallel wiring. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
