could i use a small amp i have sitting around as a line drive?

so like this (headunit) =(rca's)= (small amp) =(Speaker wire to high level) =(current amp) and get a better signal to the current amp than

(headunit)=(rca's)= (Current amp)? ^ everything turned down

i dont think it would work you might cause somthing to fry. get a pre amp or crossover with higher out put than your head unit.

even if it works its gonna more than likely be dirty power

Yeah it would work depending on what voltage the speaker inputs on the second amp could handle. But what's the point? You're just adding another source of noise and distortion to the signal path. I would bet $10 that the RCA output on your deck is way cleaner than the speaker outputs on a small amplifier.

i was just wanting to know if it would work and be any better than just going strait to the amp cause im going to be cutting it close trying to get a new amp so i wont have any extra money to get a line driver and dont like having the low pre amps i have

If you want a really cheap line driver just pick up a PAC Turbo-1
