trulywickedcustoms Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 ok, I might be a little off here, but once the clean, boosted signal goes into the first amp, you shouldn't need to clean it after that. Think about it like this. Meade daisy chained all the sub amps. Now, logically thinking, if that was not a good idea, I don't think he would do it. I am not sure if every mid/high amp is getting their own high voltage signal, but from what I understand, if it is being simply passed through an amp, even though it wont have as high a voltage as before it hit the first amp, I would think it would still be clean as long as the amps are of good quality. Are you running the sub amp/s off your pass-thru from your mid/high amp? If so, I would personally run 2 seperate rca's(if you are already doing that, cool) and run one line driver to your mid/highs amp, and run another to the first of the sub amps, then daisy chain the rest of the sub amps off the one before it, and set the gains according to the voltage they are each getting. And if I am guiding this person in the wrong direction, someone please stop me and let me know. I don't want to lead someone down the wrong road with this. ok mane i was just maken sure i didnt know b/c they say that you need a boosted signal when ur running this many amps but i see what you mean ..... thanks mane and i am running frnt rear and sub from my deck.....3 sets of rca's but thnx for the advi Quote *2013 NEW BUILD* 12- 18" Crossfire XS v2's B pillar 4th order wall 4- Crossfire 8K mono blocks 40+ pro audio mids tweeters and horns 3- Singer alternator 400a external regulated alts tons of audiotechnix wire 24- XS Power D1400's -TEAM XS POWER- -TEAM CROSSFIRE- -TDH- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescorpio1 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 For the most part, Correct.I DID notice a HELL of a difference! (from 2 volt to . It made my subs hit a lot louder. Without the line driver, I didn't even get half the performance. Maybe thatz just me though.. wow!! That's a trip. Like I said, from what I understood it cleans it up and boosts so the amps gain doesn't need to be set as high. But you got more output from your amp. Sweet!! Thank you for the insight man. For real.

That line driver that footlongsam put a link to would be perfect for you. The six channel one, front, rear and sub rca's are all boosted before they hit the amps. But get more input on the daisy chaining from some of the experts. But that six channel line driver will definately suit your application well. Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it.

Fre3zErBurN Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yea I never thought a line driver would make that much of a difference until I installed mine. im currenty running a performance teknique line driver to two 5500 watt amplifiers, the line driver itself is almost like adding another amp with the extra volts you get it makes a world of difference.

ISO Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 ISO gave me some real good advise when I got my line driver, and I LOVE it!Pheonix Gold TLD22 $29.99 at Sonic Electronix http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13857_...Gold+TLD22.html Excelent Line Driver! Boosted my 2 volt signal to 8 volts! Thanks footlongslam for passing on my my info and showing him the 6 channel version. It makes me feel good when I help someone and they can turn around and help someone else with the same problem. P.S. I'm glad you like the PG line drive,but I knew you would.

ISO Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Pheonix Gold TLD66 $49.99 at Sonic Electronixhttp://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13858_...Gold+TLD66.html Same concept, Still 8 volts, 6 seperate channel settings *8 Volt, 6-Channel Line Driver *Maximum input or output voltage: 8 volts RMS you want this item rite here. Take channel 1 hook it up to 1 out of 6 sub amps, then daisy chain 2 more on that channel. You sub amps should have inputs and outputs on them. So from the line driver do this: Channel 1= use 3 sub amps Channel 2 = use 3 sub amps Channel 3= 1 full range amp for your mids and tweets. or as many amps as you like. On a high quality amp that has inputs and outputs you should be able to daisy chain (with the RCAs only) up to 10 amps with no/or almost no signal loss. Thats how the High quality amps are made.
