K, so I've been sitting on an audio control overdrive line driver for a month or two, figured why not hook it up ...
Let me give you a little history to this... I have a PPI4400 50x4, or 200x2...I had it running 200x2 to a component set of CDT 4" and the tweeter...it sounded fine...then I figured I'd just run it at 50x2 to the comps and 50x2 to some midbass....I noticed a slight decline in the volume...not huge... So thats a diff of 200x2 to 50x2 just on the comps...
now, I add the line driver, so still powered 50x2 to the comps, and no S$%T, it sounds like I just put about 1000 watts to them. It honestly sounds like I am really using my amps now....what the F! Why didn't anyone tell me about these things sooner! And the craziest ****e, is that it didn't even light up the 1volt LED yet!
My Hu puts out around .25volts, (2volt peak) as do most middle range pioneer units..

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh those older pioneers, I had a Deh-p815 the 0.5V preout is the whole reason RW Audio exists... anyone who has one of those can benifit from a line driver, it makes night and day difference.. glad it's workin for ya..

yeah, but most of the time they probably just advertise the HU as 4 volt or whatever, and its actually like 1....like pioneer advertising its 45x4 watt HU...yeah right, its more like 9x4...
