"yea, my subs wuz beatin and the gain was only 2/3 of the way up" :rolleyes:
A quote from a common unknown soul. Higher preamp voltage does allow for you amp to have a better signal to noise ratio (givin your amps min setting is equal to or greater than the preamp level, like Dave said) If you look into test reports in CA&E, carsound and so forth, they list the signal to noise ratio at min (usually over 100) and max (usually in the mid 80's)
We all know the higher the number the better, so you can potentially have cleaner sound and usually a cooler amp at this setting. Now line drivers are good if you have multiple amps. If you have two amps, then your radio could handle that, but 4 or more will start a small signal loss. Line voltage doesnt drop like car voltage with the draw of other amplifiers, but some loss is present.
The gain knob is so missunderstood, it one of those things that really irritates me. That and using a single VC on a DVC woofer
:p
LOL
