I was talking to a guyat the audio shop that does SPL competitions and has a few trophies to his credit and he said the pre-out voltage on a head unit makes a HUGE difference in overall power. He talked about it like it was steroids or somethingIs this a true statement? I am still learning so I just take it all in and be quite. What head unit holds the title for most pre-out? What Pioneer and Kenwood units has the most pre-outs?
BTW... He said Kenwood HU's are the best for SPL

no, it doesn't SQ wise. in a nutshell higher the preout voltage the less your amp has to work (ie lower gain) and hence reduces noise.

you will have higher head room.

So you can go louder then.
They also talked a decent amount about the Eclipse line and I think on of those had the highest pre-out from what I overheard. I don't know much about Eclipse but are they good?

JL or go home.
Eclipse are GREAT hu's and their higher modles have 8v pre-outs.
LOTUS FTW!
no, you can't get louder because on a 8v preout HU, if you barely turn up the gain and immediately you might send a clipped signal. thats what happened when i was setting the gains on my sub amp, my HU clipped at 77/80, went to amp to turn up the gain, it almost clipped as i just turned the gain knob. it just enables your amp to not work as hard.
and yes eclipse basically has the highest preouts, 8v. Eclipse are awesome HUs.

This guy had a Kenwood with 5V's. I think my Pioneer is only 2V so am I leaving something on the table by not have 5V + or is it something I won't really see or hear?

what happened to proper gain setting? preout voltage isn't a big deal

also during normal listening, you'll never get the advertised preout voltage anyways
