Pre-amp Voltage

[Chode69]

MAKES A HUGE FUCKIN DIFFERENCE...i went from an AVIC-N2 to an AVICF90BT thats from a 2V to a 4V...let me just say my bass is tighter, seems louder and voltage stays a little better. Also my amp used to get REAL hot and smells a lil when bangin on it even on a short period...i drove home (good 15-20 min drive) blasting away....full tilt whole time....amp was cool to the touch and hardly ANY smell. and for once in a long time my ears are ringing a lil.

i have a line driver but it gave me feedback so i took it out...ima re-hook it up and see if i can eliminate that noise somehow and get a lil louder. so when buying LOOK INTO PRE-AMP VOLTAGE

LOL it makes a big difference when you can feed your amps don't it.

Glad you got hear and feel the difference in the real world. Alot of people don't get it.

What knid of line driver do you have?

def why i made this thread...makes a huge difference...never though it would change THAT MUCH. i may not mic louder but ear wise...woooohooo...also all the windows shut my hair is still moving around inside even leaned up against my seat

shit i cant remember off the top of my head...think its an audio control... up to 7V or 7.5V

damn that would be nice!!!!!!!!!!!

seems like higher pre out volts also makes a better crisper sound in doors

I don't know much about the audio control piece but without knowing the details try a ground loop isolater or go with Phoenix Gold.

All I can say is spread the word.

Theres a list of rules out there that if people world follow them could make some of the ruffest sounding installs, sound respectively better.

Ya its a shame.

But then you come across a new believer, not cause someone told him about it but because he has just tonight got to hear the difference himself.

Its different.

LOL I wonder if hes thinking about what other tiny changes he can make now that he hadn't thought much about before.

[Chode69]

that is another thing...my highs...SOOO LOUD AND CRISP!!! i can actually hear the words now. i never though it would make THAT great of a difference....damn was i wrong...i wanna hook up 7V to that bitch.

iso your 100% right...what else can i do to make this fucker even louder...and yea i heard talk it made a difference...NEVER paid attention to it. i would tell people buying radios at my work that they made a difference and helped but didnt ever think it was that much. now im gonna really press that feature

pre amp voltage is the number 1 thing i look at when buying a headunit. It also affects how much you can turn the gain on your amp up. The higher the pre amp voltage, the more you can turn the gain on your amp up and still get a clean signal.
