P.g. 8 Volt Line Driver?

Recommended Posts

I currently have a pioneer deck putting out a 4 volt signal. Would I notice a difference in spl installing an 8 volt line driver. And if so does phoenix gold make a descent one. Im looking for something around $50 shipped. Heres the link.

Yes, you would notice a difference. PG makes some good ones I have heard, I think I just bought the one you're looking at actually.

8 Volts might be a bit much for any amp (RF amps usually like <5.5 but that's just on the specs..) but it will always help.

Gain is an input/output signal MATCHER. so you increase the gain if you have a lower signal input, and you decrease it if you have a higher one.

With the new preouts (from 4 to 6, 8 whatever you set it to) you will be able to decrease your gain without sacrificing volume.

What you WILL gain (no pun intended) is bass clarity, punchyness (this is a scientific word) and less distortion.

I think it will help, go for it! PM if you need any more help bro, I doubt I'll find this thread again

Question within your question...I have the same line driver, but haven't hooked it up because I have an eq (clarion) that puts out up to 7volts...would the PG be a waste, a bad thing, or a good thing to hook up in line with the eq? (not sure if the eq does a true 7 volts)
