[QUOTE="adam71, post: 3131421, member: 549079"] Is the line driver on this sucker weak or what? It does seem weak to me in comparison to the Pioneer 860MP I had in before. If you look at the specs though, the 860MP says it has 6.5v, whereas the 880PRS has 5v. When sticking the 880PRS in after the 860MP with my same setup, it was a big difference in the volume I had to go up on with the 880.[I][B] I don't know if the volume controls are setup the same, but to get it loud on the 860 I had it on 25, but on the 880 it was at 46.[/B][/I] I hope to talk to Mr Marv or Dingaling soon to see if the preouts can be tested on the 880 and see if they are making spec. I don't really think this is a fair comparison at all. I own an 860 and know for a fact that the volume only goes up to 40. If he had to go up to 46 on his 880 to reach the same SPL as 25 on his 860 then it could be just the fact that the 880 has a much wider volume setup. I don't know what the max volume is on the 880. But numbers on a volume knob don't mean anything. It's the percentage of full volume that matters. e.g. a unit turned up to 30 out of 40 is about the same as a unit at 60 out of 80. [/QUOTE]
